  1. Re:I'll never buy Creative again on Creative Zen Micro Ships Today · · Score: 1

    Um...the software has been on their nomadworld site for years. I have a the same player you have, and I have no clue where the original cd is, but I could download it from here: http://www.nomadworld.com/downloads/drivers/downlo ad.asp

    I did finally upgrade to a Zen, which I'm using Gnomad2 to load from linux.

    There is also the redchair software that is much better than the standard creative stuff.

  2. Re:Linux? Doubtful. on Creative Zen Micro Ships Today · · Score: 1

    Have you actually looked for linux support? There is the libnjb that provides the interface, and I'm using Gnomad2 to deal with my Zen and the original Nomad Jukebox that I have.

  3. Re:Netinstall!!! on Debian Aims For September Release Date · · Score: 1

    I used this net-installer on my laptop, and the sound worked without me having to do anything.

  4. Re:Personally... on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 1

    Depending on the pay scale, it is possible to find a video poker machine that will payback > 100%. This is only with optimal play though.

  5. Re:Totally agree on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 1

    Actually the Travel Channel was getting incredible ratings for the World Poker Tour, which led to ESPN expanding their coverage of the World Series. Now everyone is trying to get poker on their networks...

  6. Firmware on Improving Indoors Wi-Fi Reception? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had the same problem when I first got my SMC wireless router, and upgrading the firmware fixed the problem.

  7. Re:Easier way to carry your stake... on MIT vs. Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    Actually most casinos will record any transactions over $3000, since the rule is that they have to report it if you transact more than $10000 in a 24 hour period.

  8. Re:Portable Monopoly on Slashback: Galileo, Backlight, Tariffs · · Score: 1

    I've tried almost every one of these lights, and none of them work well. The only decent one is the one with a magnifying glass that reflects the light off a mirror.

    After seeing the pictures, I'll definitely be getting one of these kits.

  9. Worldnet on SMTP-Friendly ISPs? · · Score: 1

    Worldnet will remove the port 25 block from your account after 30 days if you request it. I've done this and it works great.

  10. Re:Update: PS2 Prices on Sony Playstation 2 for Over $1k [Updated -- $5K] · · Score: 1

    It's not broken $6000...that's what the person put for his opening price...

  11. Re:OT: One Party Rule on Politics, Assassination, and Debates · · Score: 1

    Ummm....did you forget about 1993-1994. I believe that Clinton was the president and the Democrats controlled Congress. As for personal liberty...the Democrats are the one's that are fighting against it. They want the government to have control of everything. The Republican party is the one that believes that people should have the freedom to live their own lives.

  12. Skewed... on Politics, Assassination, and Debates · · Score: 1

    If you want something that was skewed...just look at the questions that were asked during the debates. There was definately a liberal slant to most of the questions...I noticed that a lot of the questions that were asked of Bush were why don't you support some liberal program, as if not supporting liberal programs is a bad thing....

  13. New Motto on Politics, Assassination, and Debates · · Score: 1

    Slashdot News for Democrats. Stuff that's left.

  14. Re:They should raise the amount of radiation on Cell Phone Radiation Chart · · Score: 1

    How exactly is this insightful or funny? I think the problem with people using their phones while driving is way overblown. If you're going to ban that, then you should also ban talking to passengers, using a radio, eating, drinking, smoking, or anything else but driving... Personally, I use my phone with the hands free earpiece, and I've had no problems...

  15. Re:Linux BSD vs. Linux/BSD on DeCSS Depositions Begin · · Score: 2

    I think the following sections show that theory to be flawed: Q. CSS-auth we have agreed is a Linux BSD program written by the Livid Group? A. It is a Linux program written by Derek Fawcus. --- Q. Do you know whether or not it is a Linux BSD program? A. Can you describe Linux BSD? Q. You previously said that CSS-auth was a Linux BSD program. A. I belief I said CSS-auth was a Linux program.

  16. Recovery Disks Not New on Copyrant · · Score: 1

    I know that my uncle had a Compaq Presario that came with only a recovery disk. And the biggest problem with it was that it would only recover to the same size hard drive...so he had to buy another copy of Windows when he upgraded the hard drive...And I believe he bought this machine in 96...so this is not a new concept.

  17. Charity on Slashback: Lingualism, Cooperation, Re-entry · · Score: 5

    I think that Napster and Offspring should pick paylars.com to be the charity. That way Lars could make money from Napster....

  18. Oracle? on Is the POST Method Patented? · · Score: 1

    From what I've read of this, wouldn't Oracle Applications...and most of the ERP systems also be violating this patent?

  19. Re:Standing in the way of the avalanche... on Napster Bans Metallica Fans · · Score: 1

    Well, the reason that I download mp3's is to sample the music before I buy it. That way I won't be as likely to buy a frisbee...like the last few Metallica cds. When I was travelling to Europe, it was great. You walked into the cd store, picked out the cd, and they actually let you listen to it before buying it. Since most cd stores in the US don't do this, mp3s are the next best thing.

  20. SqlNavigator on Oracle SQL Development Environment in Linux? · · Score: 1

    SqlNavigator is a great tool for doing work with Oracle Applications, since most of the tables are too large to be viewed through sqlplus. It's also a very good tool for picking up a database that you don't have a good relation diagram for...

  21. Re:Wish I had thought of this. on Nintendo Sued Over Pokemon Gambling Addiction · · Score: 1

    I think we could have a very large class action suit for this.
