  1. Found poem on Ask Slashdot: What Would an AI-Written Poem Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the kind "Found poem" Dave Gorman performs on his show "Modern Life is Goodish" https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Re:In the UK, we still use them... on Millennials Unearth an Amazing Hack to Get Free TV: the Antenna (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    but if it's even more free channels you're after, something like a sat dish is probably the way to go in the UK.

    That's the way I went - a Sky dish repurposed with a FreeSat box. Picture quality on the main channels is great, even in SD.

  3. Re:M$ and ACPI Strike Again. on MacBooks Experiencing Bluetooth Problems · · Score: 1

    HP helped developed ACPI, eh? So how come a bunch of HP/Compaq nc6320's have a similar problem with the Bluetooth disappearing until the next reboot?

  4. Re:Make one box a web cache server. on Deploying Windows Updates? · · Score: 1

    To save bandwidth all round, install a caching proxy like squid. As well as speeding up access to popular websites, if one configures it to save objects up to 200MB in size it will remember all the OS patches.

  5. Re:419 on Western Union Blocking Money Transfers to Arabs · · Score: 1

    If they really wanted to get a grip on the 419 scams they should stop money being sent to anyone in Nigeria.

  6. Re:This isn't new... on Unique Dell XPS M1710 Review · · Score: 1

    Indeed the idea of a big docking station with a proprietary docking interface is so old it's gone out of fashion. Dell now sell a light weight USB docking station with video. Obviously it doesn't have quad GPU video performance(!)

  7. Aruba on Microsoft's New Linux-Based Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Is Aruba Networks located on Aruba Island (twinned with Fecalruba)?

  8. Re:Really? on XSS Vulnerabilities Reviewed and Re-Classified · · Score: 1

    That's good. Better looking than most phishing emails I get. Even Slashdot reports the domain as [citibank.com]

    Can make it work with https?

  9. Re:IDGI on Icy-Flo - The solution to this summer's heat · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you up funnier, but I've already commented. Keep on clicking!

  10. Re:IDGI on Icy-Flo - The solution to this summer's heat · · Score: 1

    It's slashdotted, for sure.

  11. Re:Huh? What? on Overconfidence in SSH Protection · · Score: 1

    If you have a video to hand, then share it for I'm sure it will help a lot of people.

  12. Re:Huh? What? on Overconfidence in SSH Protection · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think part of the article is trying to say that users can enable their own ssh tunnels to home, and thus if their home network is compromised there is an easy route into the office intranet.

  13. Re:works in the dark on 3D Face Imaging in 40 Milliseconds · · Score: 1

    Yes, it does work. Ask Neurodynamics who've been doing this for 7+ years.

  14. Re:Come on on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1

    You win!

  15. Re:Come on on 60% Of Windows Vista Code To Be Rewritten · · Score: 1

    Or even on Page 3 (easier to see when the cover page is opened).

  16. Re:404 - Page not found on Saying 'No' to an Executable Internet · · Score: 1

    Thanks!

    Now I have lost another 5 minutes of my life to actually reading the diatribe. It really has been a slow Sunday.

  17. 404 - Page not found on Saying 'No' to an Executable Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Judging by all the negative comments, the flaming article has been pulled.

  18. Re:Is it really as widespread as claimed? on Clock Ticking for Nyxem Virus · · Score: 1

    300,000 infections, but are they evenly spread out, or clustered in countries, companies and homes that take less precautions?

    Making an extra special backup on 2nd Feb of all your documents would not be a bad precaution.

  19. Re:Odd... on IT Crowd On-line · · Score: 1

    They wanted to download it first before the /. effect.

    Anyone hosting a torrent yet?

  20. Re:Mirrors? That's soooo 2002 on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not everyone has bittorrent installed

    No, they don't, but if they released it for the first 24hours to BitTorrent only then the mirrors would have time to catch up and the worst of the download rush would be done.

  21. Re:My Extensions window lists... on Favorite Firefox Extensions? · · Score: 1

    Flashblock does the same for Director objects too, which is neat.

    I would also add fxif, the Firefox EXIF viewer from http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/fxif/ , and the Google Toolbar, of course, for PageRank and the spell checker.

  22. Re:Leeds? Why? on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    I was wondering how a map of speed limits in Leeds was applicable to getting a discount in London. It puts a good upper limit on the number of drivers initially interested.

    Of course, people from other areas could get their cars from Leeds safe in the knowledge they will probably never drive there again.

  23. Re: why the heck haven't AOL started offering on AOL Launches Free Webmail Service · · Score: 1

    Why on earth would anyone pay for this?

    For all that excellent AOL content, the parental controls, and that warm fuzzy feeling, of course.

    It is surprisingly popular.

  24. Re: why the heck haven't AOL started offering on AOL Launches Free Webmail Service · · Score: 1

    In the UK, AOL do offer broadband, either over DSL or over cable. http://www.aol.co.uk/broadband

  25. Re:A File System for Linux on Canonical Plans a Version-Tracking Tool for Devs · · Score: 1

    Sounds just like Clearcase!

    It has been 6 years since I last used it, so I can't comment on the slow and buggy parts.
