  1. Don't forget to block on Blocking MSN Messenger? · · Score: 1

    Web Based MSN proxies. Yes it's not secure, but it does work.. sometimes.

  2. easy on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    Lithium ion batteries are the best but are expensive and products usually need to be designed to work with them. Ni-MH are the next best thing and last a seriously long time in portable electronics plus they don't take that long to recharge. Ni-cd's suck, they take forever to charge and drain very quickly.
    So just get some AA Ni-MH bats and a charger and be done with it. :)
    Ps. Even sales clerks can tell you this..

  3. Re:Damn - fooled again on Nationwide Class Action Filed Against DoubleClick · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    OK ass, the internet isn't only for computer experts. Get that thought out of your mind right now and get a grip on reality.

  4. go2mypc.com on Fast User Switching on Windows XP with VNC? · · Score: 1

    It's not exactly what you're looking for but it does work. And it's a monthly subscription. The benefits are that it works from anywhere.. behind proxies, firewalls, etc. Fast user switching does work too. But it's $8.95/month if you pay for the year.

  6. Re:This doesn't strike me as unreasonable. on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A computer game isn't as difficult to make as military spec software. If the game crashes or has backdoors or exploits, PEOPLE DON'T DIE.

  7. Re:What software? on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    Except they most defiantly did not pay retail and you're forgetting the support that large organizations get when they buy software.

  8. Who cares???? on How Labels And Artists Divvy Up Your Dollar Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I really don't get it. You guys always bitch about how the artists are getting ripped off, after all, it's there work that makes the record companies the cash, but no one seems to fight for your own wages. You do all the work at your company, be it programming, hardware design or anything else. YOU do it, and someone else is making millions, but fair is fair right? Same should go for the music industry!

  9. GREAT. on Formula One Racing Games Exclusive To PS2 · · Score: 1

    So I can drive around a course and not pass anyone for 60 laps just like in real life! (There were less than 10 passes in the last grand prix not including passing during pit stops).

  10. If you have a few million to spend on Build Your Own Boeing 737 Simulator · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can buy your own simulator here. The "Tropos" system even uses a custom ATI Chipset.

  11. Ironic.. on Sports Titles Named Misleadingly? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "YOU think it would make news if the salespersons at Bud Selig's car dealerships were trained to deceive customers into thinking that they'd purchased 2003 models when they actually bought 2002 models?"

    Isn't it Ironic.

  12. Re:Andrew Wile on Is Math a Young Man's Game? · · Score: 1

    I read both these books, they really are interesting and fun to read!

  13. This just in.. on E3 - Hands On Impressions - Capcom · · Score: -1, Troll

    Slashdot Games is continuing to report on the E3 expo in Los Angeles!
    Ok stop pretending to be real journalists.. And enough with the "Slashdot Games".

  14. Re:Planes should be made out of recycled black box on Mass Storage Leaves Microchips in the Dust · · Score: 1

    My 2.26ghz p4 keeps my room nice and toasty in the winter. I had the windows opened all winter and I live in montreal! My room isn't that big though...

  15. Speaking of IGN on GTA To Appear On Xbox and Gamecube In 2004 · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else annoyed at how they manage to get a very high ranking in google for game related searches yet they always serve up 'teaser' pages and you have to pay for what google showed you? I'm assuming they serve different pages to the googlebot, maybe google should change the googlebot ip from time to time and not have it resolve to googlebot.google.com or whatever it is.

  16. NA Major league sports is different on Licensing Likenesses For Sports Games · · Score: 1

    Each major sport has a Players Assosciation (Union): NHLPA (hockey), MLBPA (baseball), etc. If you pay them for the rights, you have the rights, nothing more to it.

  17. How about fining companies for abuse on Patent Office Shows Record Backlog · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you submit an excessive amount of 'frivolous patents you should get fined... a lot, or even better, your patents get reviewed with a lower priority until the 'quality' of the patents goes back up.

  18. Re:Gee, how innovative on Palm Memory Maximum Increased · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's not dumb, it's efficient!!

  19. Re:Scroll wheels are indispensable on 3-button Optical Mice? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't know about your mouse but my mouse (logitech) has a clicky wheel. You can feel clicks as you turn it. One click=one weapon. I can easily change to 3 or 4 weapons away from my current weapon without thinking about it.

  20. Re:Age restrictions on Germany Places Command & Conquer on Restricted List · · Score: 1

    Have you been to a rave lately??

  21. Fight this! on Office Depot: Windows XP Apps Must Be Microsoft-Approved · · Score: 1

    Fight this, don't let this happen. When the time comes to get Palladium enabled motherboards and CPUs, make sure you get the ones where you can disable it and NEVER enable it. If it's not used it'll be abandoned.

  22. Re:Sweet! on Brain Prosthesis Ready For Testing · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it would be considered cheating. I mean if it is IN your brain you can argue that you actually memorized the material. I guess it would put an end to memorize and spit out exams.

  23. This is made by loto Quebec on CT Lottery to Offer PC Game · · Score: 1

    This game was used in loto quebec lotteries.
    Heres how it works.
    You buy a scratch ticket.. if you dont have the cd, it will be more expensive.
    You install the game and load it up.. ooh pre rendered 3d.
    You scratch your ticket, there is a code.. Enter the code into the game and you will play a predetermined game where what you win depends on the code you enter. If you win, you take the ticket and bring it to a lotto terminal and claim your prize.
    As you can see, there is zero possibility for cracking.
    Loto Quebec has other games to, check it out!
