  1. But a Loss is Loss on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1

    Don't get too hyper that the RIAA was off on the numbers. They can still spin doctor that a loss is occuring.

  2. Re:Cheap Entertainment PC? on Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official · · Score: 1

    Unless you have HDTV. Doesn't the Xbox & PS2 have HDTV compatible video adapters available.

    I believe that most games support 480P and a few support 1080i &/or 720P.

  3. Ebay has let users work to close these fakes down. on eBay Fraud Vigilantes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Many forums have a link right on the post that allows reporting of improper material. Ebay could use this feature.

    I've found questionable sales, usually someone asks me "Hey, look at the deal", but when I've looked for a way to report it. Zip nothing. They did not list any contact in safeharbour for this.

    Hell, it took way too much time to find the link to report the phish emails I got last year.

    Yes, it will mean more overhead, but that's what it's going to take if Ebay expects people to continue to use the site. Allowing a group of moderators that can flag obvious problems will help.

  4. Yawn - Done way back. on Build Your Own LCD Picture Frame · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Check these links for a Duo (Laptop) mod to a picture frame. I remember this site as the first I saw. I have an old 486 and a 64MB compaq flash just waiting for a conversion.

    Say a Mini-ITX low power, embedded OS on flash with a broswer & email. Modem and Ether net. TV output for my battery powered TV.

  7. So does the DCMA applies if you open the hood? on Your Future Car's Hood Will Be Welded Shut · · Score: 1

    Great now you can be arrested and convicted, since we're all guilty, if we do our own oil changes?

  8. My SCO weekend on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1
    I went to finally get a new pair of glasses, after 7 years with the current set. The place I went had a computerized system with problems. When they rebooted the system they couldn't get it running. Guess what it was.

    Anyone? SCO openserver. They called it OLD & DOS. Lucky for me I know how to boot SCO from my tech support days. So I didn't have to wait.

    They were saying they had a new system to replace the "OLD DOS" one out back waiting to be installed. Hopefully it's Linux based.

    2) The phone number of MS, so you call them when ever you change a piece of hardware and that stupid internet activation doesn't work any more, after only two install on the same PC.

  11. Commodore PET 2001 - Thanks Mom & DAD on Minter on the History of Llamasoft · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Funny, I just finished repairing mine last night, hadn't fired her up for 5-6 years and a couple of moves. Just had to re-seat the memory. Got to love that case design and the rod to hold the hood up. Built like a tank.

    Best $700.00 I got my parents to spend. I remember them asking, "Do you think this will help you with school". Let's see I passed, went to college, passed, got a job in the IT field, got a better job in the IT field, etc.

    Yeah, it helped.

    So thanks Mom & Dad.

    And some day it'll be worth more than the $700.00 too.

  12. Re:I think it's due to the DS - Maybe on Sony Delays PSP To 2005 · · Score: 1

    Maybe Sony is not impressed with the DS and think they can delay the system and have a better system with more games to compete with the DS.

  13. XML? on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 1

    AFAIK are not the menus of a DVD in XML? Then what you could do is have a Master Menu in XML that would handle getting the "real" dvd menus. Possibly patching the "ripped menus with a link back to your master menu. Most likely a remote key not a graphical menu link.

    IF this could work, then you could have each ripped DVD in a dir on you array and the master menu could be accessed via a media player. Could be pretty seemless, if you get the DVD's to loop back to the master.

    Good luck

  14. But isn't "... a 2fer!" = 24 Beer on Flash Mob Supercomputer? · · Score: 1

    In these parts a 2fer or 2-4 is a case of beer. So do they pay you with beer to participate?

  15. Re:Why not send it to a fund to help RIAA victims. on One Man's Check From The RIAA · · Score: 1

    I have kids, kids who like happy happy meals.
    So they eat & I eat, it's $13. If the wife eats it's $20.

  16. Why not send it to a fund to help RIAA victims. on One Man's Check From The RIAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Since $13 bucks is only enough for a McRottens lunch, why not donate it to a fund to help against the RIAA. Slashdotters can be free to give it to whom they please. Suggestions?

  17. Gee, I thought only the SW fans whined. on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 1

    Maybe George is having a laugh with the whiney prequel fans.

  18. And how quick can a disease spread with that? on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    Sort of gross if you need borrow a car. What about rentals?

    Douglas Adams in the HHTTG books told of a civilization being wiped out from a disease caught from a dirty telephone. Even his imagination could not have dreamed up an idea like this one.

  20. Re:Statutory damages - MJ 0wns the beatles on Backlash as EMI Hunts Down the Grey Album · · Score: 1

    Micheal "I love Kids" Jackson, owns the songrights to all the Beatles songs. He outbid Paul M. for them back in the last century. I believe it was for 300+ million. He does not have the right to the original vocals, just the lyrics. Not sure how this works with samples since you could get both artist and song.

    Any way maybe MJ needs some more money to pay off another pedo-suit

  21. Re:That's 362-4360 on Portable Phone Numbers = Market for Cool Numbers · · Score: 1

    Actually it may be only 6 numbers, but the "hey" at the end, not "oh" like you have, can be interperted as an "8".

    Let's face it AC/DC fans would and have called the number. I believe they got sued by someone in the US.

  23. Re:and how do I use it? on GEOS Available for Download After 18 Years · · Score: 1

    I used a small USR program that modified the drive routine that handled the error. Instead of going to track 0, thus head banging, it moved the head to track 18 the directory track. No knocking. It was a oneline program copied from a letters section of a 64 magazine. Worth finding again.
