  1. Re:Perspective... on Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    And MUCH more that $860,160,000 if the initial guy didnt take inflation into account!

  2. Re:Useful for the UN Weapons Inspectors on Radiation Detection Wrist Watch · · Score: 1

    Heh are you sure they would find what they want thou? What about the US military buildup? They would probably register a higher count when they fly back to the US bases in the surrounding area... Saddam isnt a good guy, but I wouldnt go as far as saying Bush is either.

  3. Griefing on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 1

    This would bring a new meaning to the word griefing if you can actually steal items ingame, but not have them classed as a crime in real life!!

  4. Astronomy on Starlight Measurements to Size Up a Planet · · Score: 3, Funny
    hah was I the only one to read it and think you being sarcastic:

    NASA scientists have used a technique called 'astronomy'
  5. Account names.. on Jupiter Forecasts 50% Increase In Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... ok whatever ways of masquerading email addresses on sites just will not work. I know spammers are deemed rude and rather unintelligent, but surely they are gonna run some basic tests to clean lists up, like converting $'s to S's and removing nospam. What about choosing an email address that intentionally has nospam as part of the real address? then they are likely to filter it out :)

  6. What they should have done... on System Optimization Guide for Gamers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    1) Write a "Hold to withstand the /. effect 2) Then write the tweaking guide Their server is /.'d already! :'( Is the article any good, or is it just a load of "remove stuff from startup" etc? Also is it a Linux or Doze tweak guide?

  7. its OLD!! on "Longhorn" Alpha Preview · · Score: 1

    This build is over 3months old! Its ancient!

    well lh is gonna have much better boot times... so id say it would be faster than the machine you talk about.

    well i havent done any M$ bashing... I can't wait til longhorn and some of its interesting new features...

  10. plz read... on MS-DOS 1981-2002 RIP · · Score: 2, Informative

    Erm /. at least do what they ask: 'To link directly to this page, please use http://www.jestsandjokes.com/show.php3?name=dos.co mmandments' *tut-tut* You never know, that page may forward the user to their slashdot proof server rather than battering the meagre normal one.

  11. Ahh the memories... on MS-DOS 1981-2002 RIP · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I wonder how different Id be if I had been brought up on *nix terminal rather than MSDOS....

  12. Jolt on Month-to-Month Dial-Up 'Net Access in the UK? · · Score: 3, Informative

    nooooooo keep the Terminators away from me!

  15. Re:Here's an idea... on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 1

    Agreed... I started using computers (seriously for long periods of time) from about 10ish and my fingers are already feeling like they arent going to last much more than 5 years (im 18 now). Id hate to have my fingers feeling like this at 11-12 (well the 3yrold..)

  16. Re:hmmm on Why Do Graphics Cards Cost So Much? · · Score: 1

    surely monitors are the most expensive part of a PC not the graphics card... I paid £350 for my monitor, even the most current graphics cards cannot be bought for that price.

  17. Re:OK, that's it, I'm 'switching' on Linux 3.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Id say try out the Mandrake distribution (Linux-Mandrake.com) as its very good for making the hop from Windows to GNU/Linux.

    Ive tried Red Hat but personally prefer Mandrake 9.0. Checkout Linux.com & for any hints tips / tutorials Google is always the best bet.

  18. Re:Screen copy protection on E-Book Copy Protection, For What It's Worth · · Score: 1

    What about trying Remote Desktop / Terminal Services to that box that was showing the satellite images and print screening the remote box from a TS window? Its worth a try...

    An error occured while loading http://www.rm-r.net/~bri/casemod/:

    The moral of this story is: it's not what's on the outside, but what's inside that matters. :-)


    On the contrary, at least the lights work, the insides obviously arent!!

    What about running Windows 2000 on the XBox? Has it been done? Can it be done?

  23. Life of CDRs on Tom's Hardware Review of Yamaha CRW F1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Looks like this may extend the useful life of CDRs! Sounds all good to me.... Even though DVD writables are coming down in price they still cant match CDRs for compatibilty (as they are still arguing over the format for DVDs) and price.

  24. Re:Dust on Lightning Rods for Nanoelectronics · · Score: 1

    Well I cleaned my CPU fan etc with my vacuum cleaner... its still working.. and at a lower temperature due to less dust etc.

    No surprises there ;)
