  1. Crack DirectX 10? on Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just crack DirectX 10 too? Nothing special about it.

  2. From a European point of view on Can Apple Find a European iPhone Partner? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From a European point of view, I cannot see the fuzz about Apple's iPhone. It's just a standard phone, but with a touch-screen. Nothing more. All other European models (Sony Ericsson, Nokia etc) have plans for feature-rich phones like iPhone. I do understand that this is a big deal in the US, where crippled cell phones have mostly been sold (just standard phones with SMS and some WAP-services). Let's face it. The US is _way behind_ when it comes to mobile phones.

  3. The treasure of The Star Wars Legacy on CG Television Clone Wars Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Can somebody please withdraw the treasure of the Star Wars from George Luca$ before he destroy it completely? His gift was given to the world in 1977. He GAVE it to us. Now he keep giving gifts. One gift was enough.

  4. Intel starts copying AMD on Intel Next-Gen CPU Has Memory Controller and GPU · · Score: 1

    This news is just bullshit. AMD had a memory controller a long time ago.

    Whilst I was writing a reply, I found out somebody else already found out.

    Instead of doing a post all over, just read this.

  5. The new Yahoo Beta is not scaled for large amounts on Yahoo to Offer Unlimited Email Storage · · Score: 1

    The new Yahoo Beta is not scaled for this unlimited storage.

    1. The ajax interface is slow. And Yahoo Mail does not change into pages when viewing, making it really hard to read old mail.
    2. Yahoo only accepts like 4 filter rules! Oh my god, it's amazing how you can filter with only 4 rules!
    3. Yahoo does not sort on recieved but date, thus spammers sending mail using old dates will end up in the middle of your inbox, making it impossible to find this mail (read 1.).

    I have several spams that I have never found, since my inbox is becoming so large (I've had my account for several years). Yahoo Mail is nice, but it's to slow for real use.

  6. Caring about Linux is important on How To Request Better ATI Linux Support · · Score: 1

    A lot of large companies are now buying equipment at a yearly basis, hoping for the best standard equipment for their organization. Although their number of Linux computers are low, they still need to take care of this minority when selecting the future systems-of-choice. Thus if they have troubles running Linux on ATI, they will go for nVidia as standard, as they know it make little difference for Windows.

    Reading the news archive of slashdot might make you think that Germany is a pro-Linux country makes it hard to believe the facts that we've seen more and more: AMD and Fujitsu-Siemens doesn't really care about Linux and do not hire people for Linux-support etc.

  7. Can't say I see much difference from normal movies on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I've watched the samples and I can't say I see much difference from normal movies. I think I'll stick to Xvid movies a while. However I hope the Xvids now are encoded from HDDVD source and not DVD.

  9. It's all about who run the Linuxes on Linux Desktops Catching On In Education · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1. Make a good login. Kerberos auth to a LDAP
    2. Keep windows- and linux-passes synced to LDAP.
    3. Home folders must be auto-mounted. Same folder as in Windows.
    4. Be sure to keep the home folders fast in linux. Try DFS or similar on Windows servers to share them (Windows 2003 R2 DFS works great).
    5. Be sure to set somebody that actually know how to repackage RPM's to distribute them. You want to configure everything so it works the best way for your educational needs (plugins, settings etc).
    6. Try using the same installation procedure for both Windows and Linux, so you can change OS fast on a classroom. PXE, boot a Win-PE or similar. Symantec Ghost can be used for installing both small windows images or linux images. After imaging, be sure that the OS can configure itself automatically without any user input (e.g. get computer name from DNS etc). ...and..
    7. Do not select nerds that mostly don't like Windows to do this!

  10. I've used Office 2007 for 3 days now on Office 2007 UI License · · Score: 1

    I've used Vista (Business version) and Office 2007 for 3 days now. Both at work and home.

    All I say is that the new UI is in fact VERY similar to the interface at The Google "Docs & Spreadsheets" interface. It's so similar that I really ask how they could patent such a thing.

    And by the way, what I really used to love about Microsoft products was that I always found logic places of "getting that function I look for". Now I'm lost clicking everywhere for like everything I look for. It's VERY clicky, and I already fear for people that have to start using their mouse more intensively than before. Some functions are hidden like beyond recognition (like you only find them at a little notice below the Save As filename).

    I respect google for making their choice, since it's more compatible with Ajax or whatever, but Office 2007 UI is neither original nor user friendly.

  11. Nobody uses ICS. Nothing to see here, move a long on New Windows Attack Can Disable Firewall · · Score: 1

    Nobody uses Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) in Windows. Nothing to see here, move a long.

  12. Why do Firefox use so much RAM? on Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Why do Firefox use so much RAM? After a few minutes of surfing, Firefox is likely to use about 70MB. After a few days, 200MB. And when I close pages containing e.g. media or lots of text, then Firefox do not clean up RAM. It's really annoying, especially on a shared system, since other users complain on memory usage. On Windows Terminal Server, Internet Explorer really stand-out by using shared memory compared to this awful memory-code.

  13. Google already indexes source code on Hackers Find Use for Google Code Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only difference for google code search and normal code search is that you can search for special characters that one normally cannot in google standard search. but thousands of people have already used google for searching code by just trying to limit their search by using words like "int long public" etc so nothing is new here, except that we now can search using e.g. php $variables, wheras the $-sign is ignored unless you use google code search.

  14. The script aint secure enough on Stolen Laptop Calls In! - Will Police Act? · · Score: 1

    This script aint no proof. You should try using a 3rd party service that do this job. New Dells have the ability to call back, and this program is in the Dell BIOS. However then you pay for a service that policy probably can trust.

    You have no proof. You just have a claim that you have logs that some computer sent info to your webserver. Even my mother could fake that log.

  15. FolderShare on 17 Online File Storage Services Tested · · Score: 1

    Please check out FolderShare (www.foldershare.com). All you need is to have a computer on-line somewhere, and you can easily set up syncing with your computer anywhere. Pretty nifty. I use it for backups of my computers. I have one computer at work, and two computers that share the same folders at home. No longer need for backup.

  16. Give me the benchmarks on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Released · · Score: 1

    Give me the benchmarks please, and I'll consider it. I guess some mathlab and such would be worth comparing.

  21. Too much mousework on Dell Selling 30" Flat Panels · · Score: 1

    What I encounter is that at these high resolutions windows are getting smaller, you move your head more, and you go nuts on your mouse since you have to drag the pointer everywhere... Increase mouse-speed you say? well the windows and everything is smaller, so you have to point exact thus you need pretty much normal speed..

  22. Bacteria heaven on Earbud Headphones May Cause Hearing Loss · · Score: 2, Informative

    When using earphones, the bacteria population in your ears increases about a thousand times, so better not use them all the time!

  23. Re:You still dont get it do you guys? on Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers · · Score: 1

    please read the whole post. even if they loose selling the "hardware" they still get a larger market for potential game buyers, thus gaining more on licences.

  24. Learn the way children learns a language... on Best System for Learning a Foreign Language? · · Score: 1

    I know a guy that learned my language this way (he's really smart and he's from India):

    1. Buy some comics. Read them. Look at pictures, you know how this was when you were a child - the comics are still readable even if you don't know the language. After some time, you will learn some of the words..

    2. Read some literature for a little older children. I don't know any spanish famous literature for children, but I guess it won't be that hard to find using some googling..

    Finally, you should have some kind of language-fundation!
