  2. omg a submitting troll! on What Turns You Off About Evaluation Software? · · Score: 0

    quite subtle and well done. and the first i ever saw i think. a new kind of troll.
    however not good enough, this made it all too obvious: and password is sent to the registrant a few hours after submission

    i do not know what this is exactly good for, but i do know that it is fscking beautiful!

  4. more cool cases can be seen here ... on Tool Box PC · · Score: 1

    ... here.
    The idea of the Toolbox is nice but the not the best case i have seen. The Craftmanship doesn't satisfy me. At least he could have cleaned up the mess inside the case (cables etc.).

  5. Re:Jeez [OT] on Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll · · Score: 1

    Emmanuel Goldstein is a character from Orwell's 1984. he is the leader of the rebels.

  6. arabs. on One Ring Rules the MIT Dome · · Score: 1

    when i first saw the pics (without knowing the story) i thought this was like a protest by islamic activists or sth. like that cause the "letters" look very similar to arabique(?).

    he idles in #perl on efnet (nick is sth. with merlyn). mail: merlyn@stonehenge.com. post your prize if you get one.

  10. about pr0n on Google Expands Usenet Archive to 20 Years · · Score: 2, Informative

    it was spelled pr0n back then so that it could not be found by search engines (of all kinds). that was of course when nobody knew about it (unlike today).

  11. no we didn't on LucasFilm Auctioning Star Wars Memorabilia · · Score: 2, Informative

    just the server that hosts the pics (208.55.221.157). try harder guys! :)

  12. DON'T READ IT! on Douglas Adams' Last Book · · Score: 1

    Or your good memory of Douglas Adams will get corrupted. Remember Episode 1 ...

  13. NO NO NO ! on Are Videogames Art? · · Score: 2, Informative

    you completely misunderstood the concept of art! the act of creation is art. what the audience thinks means shit.

  14. Re:Driving people to open source on Ballmer, Gates on Microsoft's Future · · Score: 1

    I see a parallel here to the Afghanistan conflict. MS = US, Other Peeps = Part of the Islamic World. Funny eh ?

  15. Re:I refuse to download a official kernel until .. on Linux Kernel 2.4.10 · · Score: 1

    I think the big issue is that there was an oops associated with autofs/nfs usage, and that this oops was fixed just a week or two ago.

    By that logic there shouldn't be an oopsable piece of code in the current kernel, but i know there are still some oopses left. Like a very old ISDN MPPP oops i've reported over and over and noone fixed it yet (i would if i could).

    I like ext3 a lot, especially since you can upgrade from ext2 to ext3 without any data loss. Linus show ext3 to the masses!

  16. I refuse to download a official kernel until ... on Linux Kernel 2.4.10 · · Score: 1

    ... linus merges ext3 in the official kernel. what is he waiting for? ext3 support is in the AC kernel for some time now and has proven to be stable.

  17. some news about Bin Laden on More On Tragedy · · Score: 1

    What most of you Americans might not now (because the media will not tell you) is that Osama bin Laden was actually trained by the CIA during the Cold War to operate from Afghanistan against the Sovjets.

    Another thing that went through my head today how much quality of humans have been lost in the WTC. Also think about all the DATA that was blown away, not only computer data (which was probably backed up at other places to some extent) but also contracts etc. and all the companies that simply vanished. horrible.

  18. Re:beep. wrong. on High-speed Internet Access: Power Lines For Real · · Score: 1

    they own all the lines in Germany that if someone want to offer flatrate they would have to pay telecom the fee for using that line

    true. many companies who offered a flatrate went bankrupt in the last months (sometimes they were even cheaper than T themself, i wonder what calculator they used).

    i dont know how well you speak german (or read for that matter), but www.onlinekosten.de has a huge list of all ISPs in germany (direct link), including flatrate info, pricing, availability etc.

  19. beep. wrong. on High-speed Internet Access: Power Lines For Real · · Score: 1

    No other companys offer flat rate.

    T-Propaganda worked well on you. There are plenty of others (like arcor, qdsl, qsc, mobilcom, o.tel.o etc.).
    I dont know what util company they are talking about, but www.rwe.de is offering it. Be warned: they are expensive as hell!

  20. Re:read the truth here: on The New Zelda · · Score: 1

    No it doesn't. I grew up with Zelda and i love the new look. And so does everyone else here who gre up with it. The 5% who don't will when they see the final game, trust me.

    PS. I have some news for you: Marketing guys know shit.

  21. read the truth here: on The New Zelda · · Score: 1

    There has been some discussion about the cartoon style and some peeps said that the new zelda is made for kids and N doesn't care for the mature folks. Guess what: it is for kids, welcome to the real world.
    May i ask you: how old were you when you first played zelda on your NES? Think about it.

    Another point: Gameplay is EVERYTHING. I know some peeps who still play Mario Kart on the SNES and they have a big game machine (1.XGhz, GF3 you name it) at home. And if you ask me i love the new style of Zelda because of what i just said: it has style. It reminds me of Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island 3 (look at the clouds for example). Go Big N!

  22. I found a hint on the KEY! on HDCP Encryption Cracked, Details Unreleased Due To DMCA · · Score: 4, Funny

    "This is a country that tells others they should protect human rights, but they have trampled on mine," says Ferguson. "The U.S. Congress is telling me what I can or cannot say in my own country."

    Don't you smell the hipocracy Mr.G.W.B?

  24. not so fast, jim. on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 1

    you will probably need to reboot soon. looking at the load average you need a new processor ...

  25. HE IS RIGHT on Gamespy.com's "Top 50 Games of All Time" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    God Lord, i didn't even noticed it. But you are right. And it is a shame the game is not on the list. I've played this game forever on my C64! I didn't know you could save the game so i had to start i new game every time and unfortunately the day is quite short and me and a friend of mine probably replayed it 50 times until we finished it :)
    Oh my, that brings some memories back.
