  1. Re:Xbox on Recommendations for Desktop DivX Players? · · Score: 4, Informative

    amen brother!

    http://www.xboxmediacenter.com

    cheap and effective with the added bonus of being able to play games too (and linux for all you loonie linus lovers ;-)

    and of course if you actually want to download XBMC you will be needing none other than XBINS http://www.xbins.org - the definitive homebrew software archive for XBOX enthusiasts!

    just to keep you in the loop once you're interested you also can't go past _the_ modding/homebrew news source http://www.xbox-scene.com

  2. Re:Just goes to show... on Security Holes in CVS and Subversion Found · · Score: 1
    The fiction that OSS code is poured over by hundreds of talented eyes looking for each and every bug is a lie.

    I think you're missing the "all" between "that" and "OSS", because there sure are projects out there that fit your description..

  3. Re:Why only that combination? on Ctrl-Alt-Del Inventor To Retire From IBM · · Score: 1, Informative
    I am glad you asked, I was just thinking about that too! Here is an excert from an interview not so long ago:

    "Bradley chose the control and alt keys because he needed two shift keys to make the operation work, and he chose the delete key because it was on the opposite side of the keyboard. He didn't want people to hit control-alt-delete by accident."

    so far, so good..

    two thumbs up to the slash developers :-)

  5. Video Conferencing on Using IRC for Electronic Meetings? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "there is no easy or built-in way to prove who is who"

    Why not use Video Conferencing software? There would then be no question as to who is who :-)

  6. Times change, people grow up on ACiD Productions Releases Final Artpack · · Score: 0

    The generation of bbs people, ansi and ascii artists are now growing up and getting on with their lives which is sad but nothing more than a reality

    Three cheers for the men (and women!) that made that experience that much more exciting and colourful!

    Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!

  7. Re:Open Source Opertunity on No More PalmOS Instant Messaging? · · Score: 0

    I get the impression the opportunity for OSS has already been taken, checkout this google result for instance

    I would have thought someone would go that before posting a question to slashdot.. Google says there are "..about 4,680. Search took 1.88 seconds."

    netcraft doesn't confirm anything, your ignorance does though..

  10. Re:nice ideas but.. on Adopt a Lost Technology Today For R.O.S. · · Score: 0

    no, I mean with regards to the actual features and having them re-implimented into this single, new, operating system.

    no, sorry.

  12. Re:fp on Vancouver PHP Conference: Cheaper And Better · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is the second time you have done this..

    Don't you have anything better to do, son?

    I mean, no-one even gets to see it due to moderation..

  13. nice ideas but.. on Adopt a Lost Technology Today For R.O.S. · · Score: 1

    ..isn't this all pie in the sky stuff though really?

    I mean with regards to putting it into action.

  14. signal strength and range on Inner Workings of High-Gain Mars Rover Antennas? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    would the strength of the signal they are using up there be alot stronger than that which we use here on earth? possibly they use a different range than 2.4GHz? surely there are no FCC regulations on mars ;-)

  15. Re:Does this mean... on Nanoparticles Enter One's Brain Via Olfactory Bulb · · Score: 1

    you can snort most things and get some sort of "hit"

  16. Re:interesting... on Writing Drivers For Multiple Operating Systems? · · Score: 1
