  1. is it really genuine? on "Linux is *the* threat," Says Microsoft · · Score: 0

    as far as I was aware no company memos to distirbutors/resellers would ever be like this. it strikes me as a little bit suspicious but never mind

  2. that wont stop me on More Copy Protected CDs? · · Score: 0

    that doesnt stop me from using that nice shiny cd player hifi sepearte with digitial out and a nice fiber "cable" to my nice digigtal in on my nice sound card does it. If anything people that cant rip it will be less likely to buy it and more likely to download it. I personaly see cds like that as a challange ;-)

  3. Software? i think not on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 0

    IF dvds were software then that would make playing them under linux even harder since (presumably) the software would only be win32 binaries. As it stands a dvd is just a video stream, and hence can be played under linux with the appropriate playback tools.

    IMHO its just another excuse by the allready fat and rich movie companies to make yet more money.

  4. But..... on Slashdot Ghost Stories? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Isnt hallowen somthing that happends outside..... thats scary enough for me on it's own the thought of going outside

  5. More importantly... on Teragrid: Massive Grid Computing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does it run quake 3???? ;-)

  6. Hmm how ironic on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    "We do identify the string from the browser, and the only issue that we have is that the Opera browser doesn't support the latest XHTML standard," said Visse. "So we do suggest to those users that they go download a browser that does support the latest standards."

    HMM it strikes me as kinda ironic:

    d) ive just found a bug in mozilla i thing so off to bugzilla ;-)
    c) micrsoft says "latest technology" micorsoft means "somthing we just made up randomly to make everything else not work with our monoploising software"
    b) X in a standard (EG XHTML) (normaly) stnads for eXtension so is optional and you _SHOULD_ (read html specs for defintion of should) be able to work without it so thats probably not complying with standards
    a) Microsoft are well know for their strict adherense to standards

  7. Erm on Microsoft Blames the Messengers · · Score: 1

    Is it my imagination or did none of the listed viruses (is that the plural of virus?) attack linux/solaris at all as stated in the artical

    christ, next its gonna be my fault if i type file://aux.aux in windows 9x!!!

  8. Re:The article admits that on Jedi Knight Now (Not) Officially a Religion · · Score: 1

    "number of people in your house?"... nope they were all out when i filled it in.

  9. Re:Gimic on Mouse Gestures in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Yeah but its damm cool still tho

  10. Re:Office 2000 just as good on StarOffice 6.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    im beggining to dobut whether or not microsoft has ever released a "really good" product since basic... DOS was a poor rip off of a popular os, Windows is a rip off of two os's
    IMOH XP should be a patch/bug fix for what ever the last thingy they released was not some absured £300 per component peice of spyware that looks like it was designed by the great people at fisher price (kids toy)

  11. Re:My School on How Many Domains Does Your School Own? · · Score: 1

    can they actualy suspend you for what you do outside of school???

    our school has a stupid no smoking within 4 miles of the school policy, (i dont smoke) but thats futhur than my HOUSE!!!

  12. Our school on How Many Domains Does Your School Own? · · Score: 1

    Our school admins are too damm stupid to buy a domian even let alone look at someone else's

  13. .ASP?? on Brian West Update · · Score: 1

    how long have php scripts had the extension .ASP is this some new iis feature i am unware of?

  14. Perspective? on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 1

    "...and increase the maximum sentence for computer intrusion to life in prison"

    Somebody really needs to put this in perspective... life senteces are given to serial killers, murders, rapists and peadophiles, not skr1pt k1dd13s

  15. Method on Michael Jackson Releases Uncopyable CD · · Score: 1

    1)Insert CD into your nice hifi sepearte

    2)Connect Optical Cable to nice PC sound card

    3)Press play on CD player

    4)Record on pc

    5)Encode using ogg vorbis

    Tho why any1 would want Michael Jackson music is beyond me

  16. Innovative? on Microsoft's Vision For Future Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    geee that sounds soooo inavitive, its almost like the diskless workstations/dumb terminals that were replaced by the inovative Xerox ripoff

  17. This just gets worse and worse on Congress Plans DMCA Sequel: The SSSCA · · Score: 1

    I give it 10 days or so until any proposed backdoor is cracked...

    I live in the UK, where we have no DMCA (yet) (w00t!!!) and i am prepared to spend quite a lot of time reverse enginering and backdoors, just for fun.

    Also if stupid encryption laws come into force send LOADS of random data around randomly to waste fed cpu time ;-) theres nothing illegal in random data (YET)

    We could as i see it end up in a very bizarre situation similar to the one which means every brwoser reports itself as "Mozilla" now except with a certified os replaing Mozilla

    When im rich (fat chance, and im not too sure i want to be, but thats a different matter) Im gonna move to an island and setup my own constitution there i think... Then i might finaly be able to watch my dvd's under linux

  18. Re:hello on Senator Hollings and the SSSCA · · Score: 1

    Hmm methinks the FBI are watching you now having said that

  19. Re:Yawn... on Quake 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    what you all seem to fail to notice is the many thousands of spin offs from id engines we have seen along the way, with half-life, voyager and sin being the more recent and memorable ones... none of these games would have been nearly so good or even existed with out id throwing out plot free games

  20. Re:When did BSA gain police power to enter and aud on Under The Surface Of The BSA Anti-Piracy Campaign · · Score: 1

    time to get the shotguns out me thinks... As soon as they appear hostile i shoot and then its self defence so its 100% legitimate ;-)
