  1. Re:I have to agree... on RIAA Grabs Student's Life's Savings · · Score: 1

    You should try to buy second hand CDs if you have to buy from the "top 5". At least then you're not directly giving them any cash.

    Your post just gave me images of some airforce guy hopping round the room trying to get a glove on his foot and demanding that they be given better installation instructions in the future. :)

  4. This isn't offtopic! on 17" Monitor Case Modding -- The "iMike" · · Score: 1

    He/She is talking directly about the bloody article!

    I have to agree with the parent; it is one butt ugly case. Technically though, I was totally impressed with the amount of skill and effort that went into it.

    If it wasn't green, it would look a hell of a lot better!

  5. Re:can this be? on Spammers Exploiting Hotmail Vulnerability · · Score: 5, Funny

    The headline would've worked just as well as:

    "Your Rights Online: Hotmail Being Exploited by Spammers"

    I suppose MS must be employing their new ActiveSpamXP.NET technology. Built on the proven reliability of ActiveSpam 6.0, it will make our spam receiving experience faster and more reliable.

    Yea, well my Atari 5200 walks all over anything you've got!

    Not my MITS Altair 8800.

    Clearly a far superior machine.

    I saw "Hamvention" and thought it was an article about inventing cool things out of ham.

    My last day was Friday. I'm not sure if I can spend four more year listening to people complain.

    Then you probably don't want to spend the next four years reading Slashdot either.

    IBM bought Sequent and are planning new revisions of this with a new name [shitcity.com]

    I once found that site by accident during a game of "make up a url and see if it exists" with a friend.

    Needless to say, I'm glad I wasn't eating at the time.

    Ick.

    Jesus, how long have we been waiting for Elite 4?

    The only thing that keeps me going is still being able to play First Encounters, and the fact that they still have a link to some Elite 4 stuff on their site.

    And for those who ask why we here on slashdot bash the utter shit out of microsoft, this is JUST why. They're full of shit.

    If we keep bashing the shit out of them, how come they're still full of it? Maybe we need to beat them harder.

  23. Mine wasn't ;) on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    I destroyed my Spectrum in one hit.

    While playing Barbarian 2, I spent many lives trying to jump over this one hole. It was one of those times when you had to be pixel perfect to make the jump.

    I finally made the jump on my last life -- and got eaten by a dinosaur straight away.

    I picked up my Spectrum in both hands and headbutted it.

    The case came off. Cables, keyboard membrane, and shards of plastic went everwhere.

    Amazingly, after I taped it back together, it worked for a few more years before it finally gave up for good. Needless to say, I never played Barbarian 2 again ;)

  24. VMWare on XFree86 4.3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    As others have found, vmware 3.2 hangs really badly when going fullscreen in xf86 4.2.0, and the vmware support claims that this is a problem with X.

    I was wondering if anyone has had any success running vmware 3.2 fullscreen on this new version of X.

  25. Re:Lifespan? on NASA Gives Up On Pioneer 10 · · Score: 1

    I just had a look around the net and found the following:

    The escape velocity of the sun is 600km/sec.
    The speed of Pioneer 10 is 12km/sec.

    Now, I'm no expert on space travel, and I can't guarantee the validity of those numbers , but it does seem like we'll be seeing Pioneer 10 again in the future. Although the site where I found the speed of Pioneer 10 seemed to reckon that it's on its way to Aldebaron.

    On the surface it does seem like it's not leaving the solar system. Maybe someone with knowledge of these things can help.
