  1. You haven't been to Canada have you on A Chinese Virtual Currency Challenges the Yuan · · Score: 4, Funny

    Canada has 2 official currencies - the dollar/loonie and Canadian Tire money.

  2. Re:SCO IP website has a Swartz memo with IP copyin on SCO Says Email Is Inaccurate · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is easy to tell which is the SCO fabrication -- the font size changes!!! It shrinks about 2 points.

  3. Mplayer works good too on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 1

    Mplayer works good as well. Try 1.0pre3 since the previous one I had audio but no video. It can even stream them as well if you run mplayer mms://<url>

  4. Re:build POSIX layer instead! on Port Mozilla, Collect $3696 · · Score: 1

    It has already been done. It is called ixemul.library. Alot of the GNU tools already run on AmigaOS. In fact Apache already runs on the Amiga as well as qmail (no link).

  5. Re:Now that's odd... on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Actually you can get sound for it. You need to download libfaad and then recompile MPlayer with --with-faad (or --with-libfaad I can't remember which) to get it to work. 0.90 works nicely

  6. Production download their distro from the web? on Linux TCO: Less Than Half The Cost of Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the article:

    Companies will typically purchase commercial versions of Linux for pilot projects, says Robert Frances Group senior research analyst Chad Robinson, and download free versions off the Web for production deployments.

    Isn't it the other way around? You want support for your production machine don't you?

  7. Re:Huh huh... Waterloo on Microsoft Invests in the University of Waterloo · · Score: 1

    Actually, Kitchener used to be called Berlin before WW2. They changed the name because... well I think you know why.

  8. Re:Incompetent alien invaders?? on Review: 'Titan A.E.' · · Score: 1

    They also made a movie based on this premise. It was called Spaced Invaders

    Comments redirected to /dev/null

  9. @Home is more than Excite@Home on @Home Responds to the UDP Notice · · Score: 3

    The @Home network consists of many companies. 3 that I can think of is Excite@Home, Rogers@Home, and Shaw@Home (the last 2 are Canadian). There are probably others. What are the they doing to stop the spammers?

  10. Re:5 Bytes? on Why DVD Encryption Crack was a Cinch · · Score: 3

    Since it is encryption based, my guess they used 5
    bytes (40 bits) because of export restrictions. It
    has been proven that 40bit keys can be broken
    quickly using today's computers. It was only a
    matter of time until this happened.
