  1. Didn't he found Ion Storm? on John Romero Back In The Game · · Score: 1

    Didn't he found Ion Storm? The company that brought us the unbelievably good Deus Ex?

    I'm willing to give him another chance. Daikatana was only bad due to its delays and excessive hype, imo..

  2. Re:Money on Thoughts on the Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points, I'd give you the lot!

  3. Re:Hate Laptops with XP Home, eh? on Reducing The Negative Impact of Laptops · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt have a problem with it, assuming it was cleared by those that make the rules. OSX is easy (in theory, never had the chance) to connect to networks, assuming theres no wierd stuff needed to connect to..

  4. Re:VPN, policies, etc. on Dealing With Laptops in a Business Network? · · Score: 1

    Ahh, I getcha :)

    That's actually quite devious! I'll have to remember that..

  5. Re:VPN, policies, etc. on Dealing With Laptops in a Business Network? · · Score: 1

    Must be a linux DHCP server I guess? Dont think Windows DHCP is that smart :/

  6. Re:VPN, policies, etc. on Dealing With Laptops in a Business Network? · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested to know what software you use to perform all this.. Any chance of telling? :)

  7. Re:Nuclear Fusion on Linux Five Years Away From Mainstream · · Score: 1

    But I thought 2005 was the year of the Linux Desktop?!?

  8. Re:great on Valve's Gabe Newell Speaks on Console Development · · Score: 1
    Has anyone tried that with HL2? Or does it have to jump through the hoop with every reinstall?

    As long as you don't lose the Steam folder, you're fine.

    You might actually be fine even if you lost it, as it's tied to your login, but I wouldn't like to try that one..
  9. Re:Another question on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    So all you need to do is never go to USA.. Big deal :)

  10. Re:Something for a corporate environment? on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    You can always use the BUILT IN indexing service..

    You'll need to do some programming (unless you find a nice example script) and some configuring to set where it searches, but it does work quite well :)

  11. Re:Before you RTFM take the quiz on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    I think that's actually the magazines list of questions, rather than the professors. I get the impression the professors list is a bit more meaningful :)

    And dammit Slashdot - Your Rights Online? What the hell has this got to do with it, put it back where I told you it should go :(

  12. Re:Better luck next time on Sun's Linux Killer Examined · · Score: 1

    You can always check out the Dogbert Buzzword Generator :)

    And, as always, Bullshit Bingo! You can grab a few choice terms from there, too

  13. Re:Is Outlook really the killer app? on Exchange Alternatives Round-up · · Score: 1

    Lotus Notes client is horrid.
    Groupwise client isnt much better.

    Neither can be bought seperately, and afaik, both only support the companies own server.. Outlook will support IMAP, POP3 and SMTP, so can stand on its own nicely.

  14. Re:Not that it would matter, but on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Some don't actually EVER expire..

    Some, like Googles cookie, don't expire for ages!

    (Googles cookie implodes some time around January 2039)

  15. Re:I usually don't delete cookies ... on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 1

    You're stealing the internet!!

  16. Re:All well and good... on Build Your Business With Open Source · · Score: 1

    Not specifically MS, but you're paying either way.. Someone supports you whichever way you go.

  17. Re:Torrents. on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, neither videos appear to play for me :(

  18. Re:All well and good... on Build Your Business With Open Source · · Score: 1

    You don't deploy until you know what you're doing with it, same as with MS stuff.

    When MS stuff breaks, what do you do? Call MS and pay them $250 for each problem?

    When OSS stuff breaks, what do you do? Call someone with expertise on the subject (a consultant?) or ensure you have someone on site who knows what the hells going on! :)

  19. Wow! on Textbooks With EULAs · · Score: 1

    A whole 33% off, huh? No media costs, no distribution costs (comparatively) and it's limited in usage and time.

    Is this brought to us by the same guys making the next gen DVD's or something??

  20. Re:Excellent work on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1
    Look at it this way - Columbus sailed to America in 1492. Where such trips routine by 1537? People still died on voyages, etc. And they didnt have to worry about bringing their own air supply! Give it a hundred years or so.

    What are you, Vulcan??
  21. Re:Real? on Researchers Create Radio Controlled Humans · · Score: 1

    Load it in FF, and its straight to RV
    Load it in IE and it asks if you want RV or WMP!

    Grr

  22. Re:Help me build my list.. on How Schools Can Get Free Software · · Score: 1

    Linux comes with iptables/ipfilter. It's command line, but if you want a nice GUI for it, theres things like http://www.fwbuilder.org/ - not for the faint hearted, but then most Linux setup routines will install a decent set already.

  23. Re:Problem reading the PDF... on HTTP Request Smuggling · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tried to do a copy and paste, but the lameness filter wont let me. DRM in force! ;)

  24. Re:So basically ... on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 4, Informative

    Without the CSS support.

    Marvellous!

  25. Re:I dare disagree. on Miyamoto Says Today's Games Too Long · · Score: 1

    I disagree too. Halo2 I finished the same evening I got it (grr), thats the only game I've thought to be too short.

    On the other hand, the only game I've thought to be too long is Need For Speed Underground 2 - I've been playing on and off for MONTHS now!
