  1. Re:yes but.... on Preview Of The $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    >will it run netbsd?

    What, the etch-a-sketch? Oh yes, most definately.

  2. 3 cents for 1 hours work? on Amazon's Mechanical Turk · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, I can give up my day job!

  3. How about... on USCO Reviewing DMCA Anti-Circumvention Clause · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Maybe we should do an 'Ask Slashdot'. CmdrTaco can then submit the best 500,000 :o)

  4. Re:Nothing to see here on New Golden Age for Outside-the-Box Startups? · · Score: 1

    wish I hadn't. Don't normally.

  5. Nothing to see here on New Golden Age for Outside-the-Box Startups? · · Score: 2

    Statements such as

    "Advances in image-processing algorithms now enable computing networks to actually understand scenes."

    and

    "It is now trivial to litter an environment with video-capture devices because the costs and wiring complexity have been nearly eliminated."

    Suggest that the overall content may not be of very high value ;o|

  6. Re:2nd place again on Microsoft To Enter Hosting Business · · Score: 1

    Fair comment, but that isn't a reason to host with them, is it?

  7. 2nd place again on Microsoft To Enter Hosting Business · · Score: 1

    Looks like they do read Sun's press releases :o)

    Hosted Office? Not from Microsoft thanks. I'd rather go with the power of Ajax.

    http://www.writely.com/

    Or OpenOffice. Or anyone. But not Microsoft.

  8. Fit for purpose? on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Lets say a doctor misses a vital sign on the image. In court, would a valid prosecution argument be that the display on these units are not fit for purpose?

    Can you really expect medical practitioners to draw valid conclusions from such a small display? I think not. I certainly wouldn't like to be a health authority trying to justify the use of such a device in court!

  9. Apples and Oranges on Does Visual Studio Rot the Brain? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You seem to be comparing 'Playing with Visual Studio' against 'Taking programming classes'.

    Visual Studio is not a teaching aid. It's (just about) a programming toolkit with some bolted on frameworks. You will create rubbish if you do not know what you are doing. Try thowing eclipse at him, he would have the same problem.

    Having said that, I hate having to program with Visual Studio. It's like a great big book of usefull spells, but they are written in invisble ink :o)

  10. And his second report... on Browser Stats For The BBC Homepage · · Score: 1

    Will be on the visits to his webpage, when the server recovers :o)

  11. a better link on Geeky Gadgets for Halloween Parties? · · Score: 1


    http://www.scary-terry.com/rockchair/rockchair.htm

    A guy has wired up the pcb to this contraption. As you walk past, the skeleton starts snoring :o)

    Mike.

  12. Shameless plug on Geeky Gadgets for Halloween Parties? · · Score: 1

    "October 2005 Halloween Howler - sound/ lights FX units for your pumpkin!"

    Mike.

  13. Please... Please.... on Designer on Slashdot Overhaul Plans · · Score: 1

    Don't *ever* change to a format like the Onion. Ever. I beg you.

    Not to mention the fact that they are media tarts, placing an full page advert on the link, probably only because of the slashdot effect. The format is a mess.

  14. Re:suggestion! on Internet Power Struggle Reaching Climax · · Score: 1

    What, you mean like GSM? :o)

  15. What about... on China's Internet Addiction Clinic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they want something to worry about, they should consider smoking. China must have the highest smoking ratio outside of a Huntingdon Beagle Lab.

  16. Re:a botnet of over 100000 machines on Creators of Massive Botnet Arrested · · Score: 5, Funny

    >1 MegaBot==10E6 Bots.

    No no no no no. How many times to we have to tell you?

    1MegaBot == 1024*1024 bots.

    Dammed marketing bots.

  17. Re:2megapixel is pretty impressive quality on Sony Ericsson's P990 Smartphone Released · · Score: 1

    I think you should look carefully at the lens technology first before making that judgement. No amount of pixels will help a poor quality plastic lens.

  18. No API changes though... on Google Maps Graduates · · Score: 4, Informative

    Still no changes to the use of Google Maps API, thankfully. Maps embedded in your own webpages do not (yet) show any advertising material.

    Long may that continue...

  19. and here is a link on Good Network Worms Made Simple · · Score: 3, Informative
  20. New word, old idea. on Good Network Worms Made Simple · · Score: 3, Interesting


    In my day we called the 'ants'. An idea created by some chap at BT over here in Blighty.

    "Old idea,
    New name,
    15 minutes of fame."

  21. Re:Screw Andressen - he supports outsourcing on Marc Andreessen's Social Platform: Ning · · Score: 1

    You might have at least clicked on a bloody advert while you were looking, you insensitive clod!

  22. Re:Screw Andressen - he supports outsourcing on Marc Andreessen's Social Platform: Ning · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well if you spent more time working and less on slashdot, maybe you wouldn't be an outsourcing target?

  23. Just think about the plug-ins on Google & Sun Planning Web Office · · Score: 2, Interesting


    The plug-in market for this will be interesting. I can edit documents on the web; But what if I can compile code on the web? And colaborate with other on my C++ / C / Embedded ARM project? No need for me to install some god-awfull toolchain; It's there on the web. I edit, hit compile, and back comes my image. Latest version? There when I'm ready. Cost? Free if I dont mind some carefully targeted ads.

    Security, or more to the point trust, is my only issue now.

  24. Re:Let's be orderlies now on LispM Source Released Under 'BSD Like' License · · Score: 1

    And thats worse than perl regular expressions? Me thinks not.
