  1. Re:Why is that obvious? on A Quick Look at Longhorn Build 4053 · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure that somebody has filled one with 8 2Gb DIMMs for a 16Gb system, and it worked.

  2. Re:News? on GitS Sequel and Appleseed Remake Are Coming · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Afterburner.

  3. What... the.. fuck.. are you talking about? on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: 1

    I used to use a MD player, and they're no smaller once you add the 10-15 minidiscs you need to carry around to be sure to have something even remotely close to what you're in the mood for listening to. I guess you could fairly compare a MD player to an iPod if you schlep a couple of shoulderbags full of discs around with you. Of course, that amount of media would cost more than the iPod, even ignoring the size and weight...

  4. My method on Resurrecting Dead Harddrives? · · Score: 1

    I got an old 4Gb drive which had stopped spinning up working again by first putting it in the freezer for 30 minutes (wrapped in an antistatic bag with another plastic bag around that to prevent moisture getting in), then removing it and giving it a couple (okay, more than a couple, because it was fun) of good solid whacks to the side of the drive. Hitting the top or the bottom of the drive wouldn't be a good idea IMO.

  5. Re:I love the smell of Antitrust Lawsuits in the m on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 1

    My browser actually checks spelling for me (Safari under OS X). I'm surprised Mozilla hasn't used the idea yet (or maybe it has, it certainly doesn't do it by default).

  6. Re:Nonsense - that's why we invented *backups* on Kodak Lagging in Digital World · · Score: 1

    Well, yes, if you use lossy compression obviously you're going to lose information. How is that relevent?

  7. Re:You brought it on yourselves. on Australia To Adopt U.S.-Style Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Oh, so your solution is to SHOOT OUR GOVERNMENT?

    You fucking retard.

  8. Re:Still no navigation via contexual menu on Apple Releases Safari 1.2 and Java 1.4.2 · · Score: 1

    Oh, and as of Safari 1.2, Command and the left/right arrow keys go back/forward.

  9. Re:Still no navigation via contexual menu on Apple Releases Safari 1.2 and Java 1.4.2 · · Score: 1

    Try Command-[ and Command-] for page back/page forward. Yep, those keyboard shortcuts are listed in the History menu so I'm not sure why you didn't find them... they work in the Finder too.

  10. Re:Imagine... on MIDI Keyboard/Computer: Neko64 · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can make Windows very stable if you have full control of what's running on it. You never saw people complaining about their Dreamcasts crashing, after all.

  11. Re:Playing Devil's Advocate on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but if the code SCO has doesn't match the Linux source in any meaningful way (certainly not meaningful enough to take to the judge), how can IBM have stolen from SCO? IBM wrote the code, it belongs to them, case closed.

  12. Re:Lots of "punish me harder" comments on Apple Justifies iLife Price Tag · · Score: 1

    MS killed Internet Explorer by failing to maintain it adequately on BOTH Mac and PC. The PC version just isn't as obviously inadequate as the Mac version due to most webdesigners coding around its bugs (different to the Mac IE bugs) and limited feature set.

  13. Re:'T'ain't nuthin' compared to a Sinclair ZX-81.. on Shared Video Memory and Memory Bandiwidth Issues? · · Score: 1

    That depended entirely on the chipset. The ECS chipset could access the entire 1Mb. The AGA chipset could access 2Mb. If my memory serves me correctly, that is. :)

  14. Re:People will keep using it, regardless... on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    So use Windows 2000.

  15. Re:bioware for president on BioWare Founders On 2003, Future Prospects · · Score: 1

    Erm, Baldur's Gate will run on a 64Mb Pentium 200 with an old TNT card (that's the machine I first played it on). If you can't make those specs, throw your PC out and spend $50 on a secondhand box that can handle it; it's worth it. Baldur's Gate II is superior in every aspect to the first game and doesn't require much more in terms of hardware.

  16. Ouch on Konqueror Compiled For Mac OS X; KOffice Next · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Damn, that's some nasty kerning on that screenshot. Safari doesn't have that problem, I wonder why Konqueror does if it's using the same rendering engine?

  17. Re:Mail on Mac OS X 10.3.2 Update available · · Score: 1, Informative

    Try RTFA. There's a link to the Apple README which specifies the Mail/Address Book changes.

  18. Re:RIAA still does not get it. on New Online Music Service For Australia · · Score: 1

    I presume you're not ripping off music while you wait?

  19. Re:Good points... on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 1

    Um, OS X tells you what folder you're in at the top of the window. What are you talking about?

  20. Re:Any news on AmiZilla? on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    By 'not exactly the same' I presume you mean 'completely dissimilar, merely using the Amiga name to part zealots from their money'.

  21. Re:Upgrade on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the Microsoft Australia website (http://www.microsoft.com/australia/pricing/defaul t.aspx#W):

    Windows XP Home
    Estimated Price: $463.00 (Inclusive of GST)

    Windows XP Professional
    Estimated Price: $675.00 (Inclusive of GST)

    It certainly makes OS X's price of A$229 easier to tolerate.

  22. Re:What about...? on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 1

    Black Isle published Baldur's Gate but had nothing to do with the programming of it.. that was all Bioware up in Canada.

  23. Re:Nasty on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Already happening.

  24. Re:I know this is offtopic but, on NWN - Hordes of the Underdark in Stores · · Score: 1

    Bioware had nothing to do with Fallout. Perhaps you're confusing them with their publisher, Black Isle?

  25. Re:Its never long enough on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 1

    >2) Nobody can offend you without your consent

    You've proven my point. Slashdot owes me an apology for insulting me without my consent.

    Actually, the original poster meant that you CHOSE to be offended. Being insulted and offended are not the same thing.
