  1. Re:Doen't this.. on Google To Create "Blog" Search; Potentially Remove From Main · · Score: 1

    I think you've probably seen it on here. Incidentally, the relevant article is actually linked from the "related links" box. For once, it's not Slashdot at fault!

  2. Visualizations Smisualizations on Xbox Media Player Contest · · Score: 5, Insightful
    When it has visualization plug-ins, I think it'll be a great way to put MP3s in your stereo.

    Is it just me who thinks that visualizations are completely unneccessary? When I am listening to music, I don't want some annoying repetitive picture flickering away in the background. They are an interesting toy, but add nothing to the experience.

  3. Parsing error on Pop-Under Ads Patented · · Score: 1

    Having just got up, I read "The Onion is running a article about a company...". Somewhat more believable!

  4. Re:Open Source on Danese Cooper (of Sun) Finally Answers · · Score: 1

    If you had read the article properl, you might have realised that Danese is a she, not a he. The comment "What's it like to be a woman in technology?" in the header gave this away.

  5. What about the weather? on UK Lab Responsible for VNC To Close · · Score: 1

    A large number of people use the weather station on their roof - I use a little app written by a friend that displays the outside temperature next to my CPU monitor on my taskbar. They have fairly comprehensive archives for the last few years, so it would be a shame if this service stopped as well.

  6. Assassins on Rubber Band Machine Gun · · Score: 1

    The Cambridge Assassins' Guild have had to learn to live with one of these owned by a player who owns a shop in the centre of town. It's nowhere near as impressive as some of the larger rubber pellet guns available because you can't draw and shoot at speed!

  7. Re:Why 42? on So Long, Hitchhiker: Douglas Adams Dead At 49 · · Score: 1

    If you built a perfect tunnel through the centre of the earth, and neglected friction, heat and other impracticalities, then 42 is the number of minutes it would take you to go from one side of the earth to the other under freefall.

  8. Re:Konqueror nice, yes..but.. on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    I have found Netscape 4.75 to be much more stable under Win2K than 4.76. Am still using it for the superb mail reader.

    I've been using Mozilla 0.81 for everything except online banking which "requires" IE. It doesn't like a Squid cache [just sits there doing nothing], and only becomes unstable after a couple of weeks of Hibernating and restarting.

    0.9 OTOH has already crashed once for me and I only downloaded it half and hour ago. It also puts up a very annoying "Entry Point Not Found in xpcom.dll" dialog box every time I submit a form.
