  1. Re:So What's the Point Again? on Big Ugly Dishes Grab Primetime Shows Early · · Score: 1

    Yes, my friend's mom used to twiddle with C-Band to watch soap operas early. But since they were more time critical (think soap tabloids) they would often hop channels and frequencies IIRC. If only I could get the Super Bowl early . . . .

  2. Re:CmdrTaco replaced by Shell Script? on Study on DoS Activity In The Internet · · Score: 1

    You've all probably seen this already, but you may be interested in the /. Random Story Generator

  3. Re:Vapour is not necessarily bad... on Linux Based MP3 Stereo · · Score: 1

    Actually, there is a portable cd player that plays cds full of mp3 (and costs very little), which could easily be hooked up to a home stereo system (that's how I did it when I got my first cd player as a kid), and there is also a great line of in-dash receivers for your car that play standard cds as well as mp3 cds.

  4. Re:All I'm asking... on Australia Develops Space Program With Russia · · Score: 1

    Yes, and Russell Crowe could a pilot, along with the Matrix's Lady in Red (since the Matrix was filmed in Australia, just as the sequels will be)

  5. Strap-On on Interesting Keyboard/Mouse Combo · · Score: 1

    This could actually be interesting if it were wireless, and had straps so you could wear it. I guess people in chatrooms could only use the letters {q,w,e,r,t,a,s,d,f,g,z,x,c,v,b, and 1-6 (no space)) when looking at pr0n. "um, what are you doing?" "g6t`a1V3`br1t1V3`111Vx"

  6. catch me if you can on Cyber-Policing In India: Bye-Bye, Anonymity · · Score: 1
    . . . no one will be able to have internet access in Cybercafes all over Mumbai. If this gets implemented, and it seems it will, the Mumbai netizens can kiss anonymity good bye for ever.

    It seems that this would mostly catch tourists (unless the people of Mumbai can only get access from cybercafes), and I wouldn't expect that to work since the tourists would probably have already left the country by the time officials can get to them in the log files.

  7. Bigger Alternative on What's the Deal With Writeable DVD? · · Score: 2

    If FMDs ever come out we could store much more data, and possibly even emulate DVD, since FMDs have several layers to DVD's two.

  8. Don't Act Your Age on The Tenth Birthday Of The World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    Maybe in 20 years the www will seem more mature, since it appears to be run by a bunch of 10 year olds now.

  9. This is like PGP on SDMI Researchers Cancel Presentation After RIAA Threat · · Score: 1

    Phil Zimmerman got away with publishing his book on encryption when it was controversial with the government, so these guys should be able to do it too.

  10. Offtopic on Gamecube In Danger? · · Score: 1

    I heard somewhere that "Nintendo" means "play to the best of your ability, and allow the heavens to determine the outcome."

  11. Re:Drinking @ 21 on CCTV - The Fifth Utility · · Score: 1

    Americans used to be able to drink before they turned 21 (18 for beer, 21 for liquor). You have to be 21 here because most people drive everywhere they go, unlike most of Europe, where we people walk to the pubs and crawl back.

  12. Permissions on Return Of the Lost Server · · Score: 1

    chmod 644 that file so we can see it

  13. olga.net on RIAA Wants Opt-In Filtering For Napster · · Score: 1

    It's at olga.net currently, and now even the new stuff is searchable.

  14. Small Competition on Game Boy Advance Arrives · · Score: 1

    Nintendo may own 99% of the handheld console market, but probably not of all handheld gaming. You can't forget all those Tiger handheld games, handheld casino games, fishing games, and even the Dreamcast VMU.

  15. Neck Pains on Review: "The Sixth Day" · · Score: 1

    I saw it, and only one thing bothered me: The humans were cloned by taking their DNA and a brain-recording (I think it was called in synchort). Now, every time Arnold would kill the thugs sent after him, they'd be recloned and complained about how their neck, or whatever part Arnold mauled, hurt. But their brain wasn't recorded before they were killed, so they shouldn't have even remembered what happened to them.
