  1. Re:Google has power features too. on Google's Weakness, AltaVista's Strength · · Score: 1

    Oh uh.. actually it does work. link:slashdot.org -site:slashdot.org. I don't know why my first test didn't work. Doh!

  2. Re:Google has power features too. on Google's Weakness, AltaVista's Strength · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, link:mysite.com -site:mysite.com does not work on Google, although the two terms do work alone. It couldn't be that hard to get them to work together, could it?

  3. [OT?] Opera 6.01 on NT4 crashes on that Salon link on Chained Melodies · · Score: 1

    Anyone else see this? I've seen it before on other Salon articles, but not all of them.

  4. Re:the shiny ship on Star Wars Episode II Trailer Tonight · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, he has chosen a rather obvious hiding place in the Dune Sea. [boom!]

  5. .sig credit on U.S. Works Up Plans for Using Nuclear Arms · · Score: 1

    "Avoid strong drink; it makes you shoot at tax collectors....and miss." -- JC I'm reasonably sure that quote is from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Robert A Heinlein. I'd be completely sure if I could find my copy. Here is a site which apparently has the Notebooks transcribed; that quote is included.

  6. Shameless self-promotion on Kazaa Admits to Morpheus Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Not that I believe any /.-er worth his or her salt would need step-by-step instructions, but go HERE for a tutorial on installing Grokster sans spyware. I'm told the same procedure works for KaZaA but I haven't tried it.

  7. Who owns whom: the short version on MPAA Wants Copy-Controlled PCs · · Score: 1

    Viacom owns Paramount Pictures and Blockbuster Video, as well as the CBS and UPN television networks, Infinity Broadcasting (radio), and many other media properties.
    Don't forget Vivendi, the French megaconglomorate that owns Universal Studios (they bought it from Seagram, who bought it from Matsushita). Vivendi owns tons of non-media related companies as well.
    Disney also owns the ABC television network as well as cable channels and radio stations.
    The only entity that would be able to takeover one of these huge megacorps is another one of them. On the other hand, if every single /. reader sent $5 to the address below...

  8. Re:make sure to get the patch into -rc1 on MPAA Wants Copy-Controlled PCs · · Score: 1

    And when the megacorps finally decide that GPL goes against their interests and have it thrown out, then...?

  9. Killing the ATI icon (was Re:Networking) on Computing Pet Peeves? · · Score: 1
    You should be able to. In Settings->Advanced, one of the ATI-installed Tabs is called "Other" or "Misc" or something, and has some blue circle-checkboxes in it that allow you to turn off the icon in the system tray.
    I don't know how long I had to deal with that stupid ATI icon in the system tray until I read that. Thanks!
