  1. Eh ... on The Long Reach of Windows 95 · · Score: 2

    Windows 95 copied system 7, and the Start Menu copied a system 7 extension called the Hierarchial menu which allowed you to put folders of apps, or just normal directory folders under the apple menu and navigate through them.

  2. I can't get no satisfaction ... on Appropriate Music for Callers 'On Hold'? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I've really had this one. I was on hold to a local isp wrestling with the droid who had the tech support manual, convincing the nice lad that no, I didn't have Windows installed for over 30 minutes, and then he put me on hold. I laughed for a good 2 minutes :-)

  3. Nope on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 1

    I think it's one of those 'cell phones cause cancer, fires, infertility, ugliness' scams. People are naturally panicky, and this just cements that belief. I ride up will phone, ipod, and palm all on, and have never had, nor ever heard of such a thing being reported.

  4. MINI One Tuning on Hack Your Ride · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm a MINI Dealer, and chipping a MINI will lift the little 1.6 litre petrol engine from 90Bhp to 130Bhp for about 500. We honour the warranty for it. It's quite safe indeed, and it's only downgraded at the factory so they can sell the more expensive model/meet emissions laws.

  5. Bout time on Brazil Takes Lead in All-Digital Cinema Projection · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Its nice to go to the Cinema and have amazing sound, now we can watch the films and not have scratchy, popping, projected images!

  6. RedHat on Ask Slashdot: What Training is Necessary in Becoming a Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    Im out of my depth here as Im no admin, but I do enjoy keeping my 2 boxes talking to each other. The thing is, didn't RedHat announce about a month ago that they had started certificated courses on Linux?
