  1. ...out on paper instead? on Has The Internet Peaked? · · Score: 1
    One British dot-com (err .co.uk) is putting its last minute Christmas push out on paper instead of online

    Even if the internet has 'toped out' that dosn't mean that it is small or lacking custumers by any means. I don't know why this company feels differnt.

  4. Sally Ride on Fabulous Prize: A Trip To The Intl. Space Station · · Score: 1
    I wonder why it is all-of-the sudden ok for civilians to go into space. Is it because it has been 15 or so years since Sally Ride, a schoolteacher who was granted a space trip from NASA, died on take off on a space Shuttle?

    There has been this instance and talk about a 'Surveyor' series on board a space station.

    Has the technology made it safer (NASA updating its Shuttle computers, ha!) or has the public just forgot what happened to Challenger in 1986.

  7. Possible Paycheck? on HP To Pay German Antipiracy Fee For CD Burners · · Score: 1
    The fees, which are not collected by the government, are distributed by GEMA to copyright owners.

    Really? Man, I got to get a copyright on something that can be burned on to a CD. Then maybe I can get a check from GEMA.

  9. I played this game a lot on Windows on Linux Sin Demo · · Score: 2
    I bet it starts with the same bank robbery scene? I really liked this game because it let you shoot stuff from a hellocopter and and play with an ATM.

    If you get far enough into the demo, you should get to the serectry mainframe. They emulated it to look a lot like a DOS termial. YOu can type in stuff and look through directors and stuff. It was pretty limited though, it wouldn't let me reformat it ;-).

  10. Cracks and users? on It's Official: MS Office 10 Subscription Version · · Score: 1
    I wonder if more people will be drawn to useing a crack to get rid of the time experation, rather then pay up over and over again.

    Also, does this benfit anybody? I don't know anyone (that uses WORD) uses it for a month then stops. If there was such a person they might be paying less for it.

    There are plenty of goood reasons for WHOIS. For instance, When I perform a "whois microsoft.com" on my Unix box, I get the following:

  14. Re:This is to be expected. on Has Netscape's Browser Become Too Self-Serving? · · Score: 1
    Most computer illiterate users I know would not _ever_ change their home page, because

    0/ They don't know that it is possible
    1/ They are too afraid of breaking something
    2/ They are not sure of how to put that home page back if they change their mind
    3/ They are used to it (it is their home page after all)
    4/ They don't know what they could put instead

    Yeah, I made a website for a company and when I went to change the the homepage to it on my boss' machine from msn.com to the company's page she said "No! Don't do that! If you do I won't be able to get on the internet!"

    I then quit and got a lower paying job that wasn't full of idiots.

  15. what happens when the enemy cracks the network? on Unmanned (But Armed) Aircraft Experiments In 2001 · · Score: 1
    I sopose these jets are going to use some wireless highspeed conection, which will be in encrypted. When something is encrypted, it only takes time before it is broke. Then the foes can use our own bombs against us.

    Scary as it is, it would still be a interesing thing to work on if I ever got drafted (working on it or cracking it).

  17. a non-evil use ! on Cantametrix Plans To Track All MP3s On The Web · · Score: 2
    Wouldn't it be cool (for someone who has a large collection of mp3s on their computer) to gain access to this data base and use a program to change the correct files, based on the files "DNA" to *name of band* - *name of song* ?

    That would correct wrongly named and labed files and make people's collections look neater.

    When I first glanced at this article, and remebered that I was at /. , I thought it was referring to a Deep Blue remach. Didn't the computer beat him, or was it a draw or something? Shouldn't that computer be the undisputed king of chess?

    salshdot.org just uses namezero which gives him a free domain name in exchange for that banner ad. He isn't gaining any profit from that. You should be thankful because this guy is bringing in the people who can't spell to your site.
