  1. Re:EULA on Anatomy of a LAN Party? · · Score: 1

    One favourite at our lan partys is Urban Terror which is a Q3 mod. A few great maps like laneway, although could get kinda messy with any more then 10-12 people.

  2. Re:Google web-scrapes the latest news on The Google News Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Gmail is still tweaking how to deliver the ads, while some accounts show the ads at the side, other account show up like this.

  3. Re:what are the benefits? on Adobe Releasing New Photo Format · · Score: 1

    Maybe this has to do with JPEG patent issues....

  4. Re:Roxio's EasyCD? on Sims 2 Blocked by CD Copying Software · · Score: 1

    The headline is incorrect, Roxio's Easy CD is not affected. The actual article states emulation software such as... ROXIO

    The only emulation software from Roxio is packaged with their european product called WinOnCD which has a portion that mounts disc images as drives, this doesn't affect most people.

  5. Re:Buzzword Bingo on Human-Powered Spam Filtering · · Score: 1

    This comment leads me to wonder if they can actually patent "READING E-MAIL".....

    >> explain that their WC++ might not always produce

    Wisual C++? Great for Russia but what about everyone else?

  7. Smarts? on German Teen Charged with Creating Sasser · · Score: 5, Funny

    You'd think people smart enough to do something like this would be smart enough to shut their mouths. :)

  8. Re:They did it in Ontario too on New Overtime Rules Have Short Shelf Life · · Score: 1

    >> Would this apply to technical support agents ?

    No technical support agents are not exempt, but product specialists (level 2/3) are according to my employer.

  9. Re:Cancelation times on Trouble for Tivo and NetFlix Partnership? · · Score: 1

    Actually I cancelled my CinemaNow trial in just a few clicks with no issues this week...

    But only if there is an opening on Boston Public for Jolene Blalock. :)

  11. Re:SCO on Running Ancient UNIX On Nintendo Gameboy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Naw, not unless he is already a Unix licensee. Darl seems to only sue his existing customer base.

    That said, I can't wait for the emulator for the Unix GB so you can actually play GameBoy games on it after booting in to Unix.

  12. Re:It still comes down to price, for a lot of us on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Here's some news for those who just came down from fairyland: in this world, most of us get a fixed amount of income and we need to divide this among all our spendings, the more we spend on songs the less we have left to spend on other stuff. We can't just put in more hours on a whim to cover our growing expenses.

    Ah thats true. In fact, I really wanted the new Dodge Viper but I couldn't put in the extra hours at work to cover it so I just stole it. If anyone catches me I'll just explain that I deserved it because I'm a good person and that my fixed incoming didn't leave me enough to pay for the car, let alone an oil change.

  13. Re:US-centric on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why is it US-centric?

    Because the section is for political coverage between now and the upcoming US election.

  14. Any ideas? on Microsoft Opens MSN Music Store · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As a test I tried to buy a piece of music...

    1) Provided my hotmail login (passport)
    2) My credit card was on file (which is scary since I haven't purchased anything from them in years.
    3) The credit card on file had expired in 2003 and the expiry date was correct on the MSN Music Store page (correctly showing as expired)
    4) The store allowed me to purchase the music anyway, the credit card is from Canada and the address on file is from a hotel in the US. Not only did they not verify CC information but it's expired
    5) When I check my account via the 'Microsoft Billing" page it shows 'Unbilled Activity for MSN Music' and shows my song purchase, so they bill after a certain period without even checking the credit card on file?

    Huge potential for abuse here... It'll probably change pretty quickly.

  15. /. worthy? on HP Shelves Virus Throttler Program · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is a product that was intended for use on Windows, they obviously couldn't get it working on Windows. Don't start blaming MS for this one...

    That aside, any coincedence that the vice president and chief technology officer of HP is named Tony Redmond? :) j/k

  16. Re:Subscribers and Dating on How Google Could Overthrow AIM · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's saying you're dating a new woman or want to date a new woman and she uses a different network

    Please, we both know if a your main concern about meeting a significant other is which IM service they use, that both of you are using AOL.

    Apple has already stated this as their intention:

    'Stunned' Apple rails against Real's iPod move

    Apple threatened to block access to the iPod using Harmony the next time it updates the software used to run the device. The company last week unveiled the fourth generation of the trend-setting music player.

    "It is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods," the company said in its statement.

  21. Re:finally... really... on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1

    >>The only reason was marketting. Remember that
    >>cruddy "Internet in a Box"? If you don't
    >>capitalize it, you don't have a named brand

    First, let us be glad this debate isn't about spelling.

    Second, what does that have to do with anything? 'Internet in a Box' was a product name. If you market 'Shit in a Box' the S in 'Shit' is still is in capital because it is part of the product name but outside of that context that rule doesn't apply. (Off topic, Internet in a Box SHOULD have been named....)
