  1. Difference between recording video and audio? on Britain is the World's Surveillance Leader · · Score: 1

    From my understanding, dependent on local laws, one cannot record audio without the permission of the persons being recorded. How is this different with video?

  2. ok, lets start testing please :) on Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 - Finally in Limited Release · · Score: 1

    Start firing up Azureus, just need the torrent. Or is this not "free" to a long time ydl user?

  3. Re:Question for Yellow Dog users... on Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 - Finally in Limited Release · · Score: 1

    It depends on whether or not you want to put your new laptop to sleep, use airport extreme, or want 3D graphics. You can use a Wireless PCI card adaptor, and shut your computer down to work around those quirks. The think with Apple hardware is, it is cutting edge and it takes some time to support. I remember how much work it took to get firewire recognized on my old iMac running linux. Now, it just works out of the box. The latest Debain (Sid) supports bluetooth out of the box now.

  4. GUI? on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    real men dont use gui.

  5. What is more annoying... on Cell Phone Ringtones Give Music Industry Another Headache · · Score: 1

    ...the original Nokia phone ring or the latest teen beat song ring tone?

  6. Try emacs on The 'Robotic Psychiatrist' Answers · · Score: 1

    Human Psychiatrist: $300/hr.
    Robot Psychiatrist $100,000
    emacs M-x doctor: priceless.

  7. Re:Update shows iTMS needs more selection on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 1

    I also fall under the 20% songs actually found on iTunes, but that is because you actually cannot find many of the artists that I have. But I have 2 questions for you:

    40 Chick Corea albums are not enough?
    76 Coltrane abums do not satisfy your hunger?

    Granted, as with the combo of artist album and song may not bring it up, but, not as an example of rare, hard to find, "in a sentimental mood" is listed 102 times.

  8. Re:OSX and Fink on Gimp Hits 2.0 · · Score: 1
  9. Re:OSX and Fink on Gimp Hits 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Or you can just download a binary here: http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/

  10. Who? on Backlash as EMI Hunts Down the Grey Album · · Score: 1

    I says (while starting up Gnutella) Sorry but I can name dozens of the Beatles songs, but have only heard of Jay Z. I am sure I would recognize him, but whatever... Sounds like a publicity stunt.

  11. Why no arial on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 1

    So if I use Arial does that make me a terrorist?

  12. Re:Having had both... on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    All that TV and you spend your time posting in /.

  13. Free cable preferred on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    I prefer the free cable that I get by splicing my internet cable connection :P

  14. Re:Bravo! on More MyDoom Gloom · · Score: 1

    Pine is default for some universities, for students emails.

  15. Re:Good article on Why iPod Mini is a smart move for Apple · · Score: 1

    Finally someone (parent) with reason and view of the bigger picture. Even as a Slashdot/Apple type, it is incredibly difficult to resist the pull.

  16. Re:Let's get this out of the way... on Why iPod Mini is a smart move for Apple · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up for being hilarious (not insightful, shees!) because 3 posters (as of now) thought this comment was serious!

  17. Re:One thing the RIAA is powerless to do... on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    Well good luck getting the new Brittany Spears CD then! :P

  18. How to make your computer like OS 9 on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    Im not trying to troll here, but Tog really likes OS 9, doesn't he? Its as if he's taken personal offense for every change, and just to make it more powerful, you can add these utilities to make it just like 9 again!

  19. Re:choice? on Microsoft Unhappy With HP's iTunes Decision · · Score: 1

    Interesting point, but and Apple users would never use SUXX0R and definitely learned not ALL CAPS.

  20. IF i only had mod points... on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    LMAO, please someone mod the parent up!

  21. Re:Is this my first ever troll? on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 1

    ON a cd player, there are only 12 songs, so its a better change to pick someone up with 1000 songs.

    I remember when I got the first ipod. There was definitly the cult of the secret white headphones in the beginning. I remember it was like: Wink, wink, nod, nod. You spent $500 on something that fits in your pocket. Your a mac user. Now its normal to see about 10 people on the subway with those white headphones. Now there are just as many women with ipods, and not everyone is a geek.

  22. Re:Real world?? on Big Mac Officially Ranks 3rd · · Score: 1

    Yes, it was meant as a joke. I was going to originally use just Quake framerates, but creating gaussian blurs are equally useless for me. Seriously, though, setiathome kicks ass on my G5, about 1 unit every 2 hours. I wonder if Berkeley should be using a G5 supercomputer and forget everyone else!

  23. Real world?? on Big Mac Officially Ranks 3rd · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, it might make some fast scientific calculations really really fast, but I want to know how fast it does some real world stuff. Give me some Quake framerates, or Photoshop gaussian blur benches.

  24. is it in beta still? on Evolving the Social Network · · Score: 1

    At least it is not in perpetual beta like some other networking idea....

  25. Re:Bah... on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    But if your PB was newer and had Airport Extreme, and the nvidia g-card, you would be singing a different tune. I had my 12" and gleefully installed ydl 3.0 as they said they support the 12" but the wireless did not work and ppc support for nvidia is nonexistent.
