  1. Slashdotted. on Specialized Knoppixes for Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    Slashdotted. Mirrors please if you can

  2. muscians on display on Computers Replace Musicians In West End Musical · · Score: 1

    Put the muscians on display?

    I used to love looking down into those pits they put them in when I was a kid. Mind you, the computer sounds nearly as good ;D

  3. a spare battery on What Extras Should I Buy When Buying a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    while you still can;

    for the ability to resell!

  4. Minimum spec. ? on Linux & Mac UT2004 Demos · · Score: 1

    Anyone know how much it costs to build a machine that runs it well?

    Ok, then ... that runs it? (I'm on a gf2mx,1ghz; boohoo)

  5. Amaya on Designing Websites - What Browser to Code For? · · Score: 1

    From a money point of view Mozilla.

    For everything else, Amaya.

  6. TV| Remember? | 'Net cafes on Atari Jaguar-Related VR Units Show Off Virtuality · · Score: 1

    The game linked to in the story was on British TV. Can't remember the name of the gameshow.

    Also, does anyone remember the virtual reality WW1 flying game featuring an italian mad man in the seat behind you shouting

    "He's a getting away!"

    ? What was the name of that thing ?

    There used to be one in Bournemouth Tower Park Bowling.

    I used to love those VR things, much what arcades should be about - hardware too expensive for the individual to buy.

    ps, seen the other odd inputs such as the sword, weight mat, skateboards, surfboards and other crazy stuff.

    Wish there was an arcade if knew of that had some nice VR. Maybe internet cafe's should do it?

  7. like Windows Media Player and iExplorer? on Microsoft Develops XP 'Light' for Thailand · · Score: 1

    So things like Windows Media Player and iExplorer are removed.... or increased I wonder :)

  8. Used to require the VideoToaster board on Source of Amiga Video Toaster Software Released · · Score: 1

    Used to require the VideoToaster board. Originally retailed at ~2500. I think it was Zorro based and intended for A4000/A3000.

  9. UK? on Switching from Phone to Voice-Over-IP? · · Score: 1

    Anyone had any success googling for UK VoIP gateways and providers?

    It doesn't seem to be too well known here and I'm not sure why since we pay the most. It could be a legal thing not yet delt with by Ofcom.

  10. Internet provided by phoneline provders on Switching from Phone to Voice-Over-IP? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I can see a problem here that flicking over the posts I can't see raised and that this:

    Most internet services are provided by companies who are in some way linked to telcom companies or provide thier own telcom themselves.

    Examples:

    - adsl/dsl's?
    - cable; Telewest broadband offer phonelines pretty much same rate as BT

    Does anyone know of a way to get internet access on its own without buying from a cable company who would prefer to sell you a phoneline too? - in the UK...

  11. Bring down ppc prices on Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU · · Score: 1

    Very nice. Perhaps this is intentional.

    A very interesting move. Is it just a technological decision or more?

  12. Re:Army contracts? on America's Army Expands Focus, Plays Down Goals · · Score: 1

    Wow, even after retiring it still applies.

    It even applies to cadets!

    Does anyone know the name given to the UK version of the UCMJ?

  13. Army contracts? on America's Army Expands Focus, Plays Down Goals · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where I can view the contract for various armed services; UK, US?

    I've always wondered what rights you have / don't when signing up.

  14. Personally, if it were up to me I'd just: on A Look at Microsoft's Regulatory Problems · · Score: 1

    drop all this reason and argument and just say:

    "You're doing too good and that's damaging the economy." ... split and generally encourage the smaller players

  15. via book on Reviving the Firewall Design Program? · · Score: 2

    his book is excellent, and a way to contact:

    http://www.ieee-security.org/Cipher/BookReviews/ 20 00/ziegler.jan2000.html

    (this is the same guy right?)

  16. latency on The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio · · Score: 1

    Once again everyone disregards latency :`(

  17. cheaper way on Tom's Reviews Expensive, Noiseless Case · · Score: 1

    $$$?

    - Put the noisy thing in a cubboard

    - or in another room

    - maybe some sort of enclosure available (<a href="http://www.buildsilentpc.com/silent_pc_case. php">here</a>)

  18. Hopefully not said before but on Student Fights University Over Plagiarism-Detector · · Score: 1

    How exactly do I write something original?

  19. Confused with legal defense? on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's some sort of union for pooling defense but I can't remember the details.

    I do know that if one member gets attacked then the other aid them.

    With the number of OSS projects out there even if each member contributed a minimal amount as insurance against thier code it would worthwhile.

    I think I might be getting confused with a legal service from the GNU or something?

  20. 14" VGA, 20min warmup on Who Still Uses Old Monitors? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    14" VGA monitor that takes 20mins to warm up, though this time is decreased with vertical encouragement. Used all the time to:

    - check freenode via bitchx
    - config router

    I'd love to show a pic, especially alongside the router with no case as it's laughable ...but the website it serves totally hides this.

    In fact all my monitors are old - 15" at best and CRT :p

    But... they don't lose pixels and are faily bomb proof!

  21. print this thread on Application-Centricity in Our Schools? · · Score: 1

    and post hard copies in locations slashdotter's suggest

  22. addictiveness ratings on reviews on South Korea Grapples With Online Gaming Addicts · · Score: 2, Funny

    Next time I review a game, or read a review I'll have to take note of the addictiveness rated.

    Like chocolate there are drawbacks to gaming

  23. landfill on Safer Means Of Disposing Of Mad Cows · · Score: 1

    We have ours in landfill at the present. Bit of a biohazard?

  24. UK on Registering a Locality Based .US Domain? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A very good idea. I'd like to the same for .uk

    Unfortunately AFAIK the problem over here is worse, I'm not even sure how to register a foo.uk domain rather than the usual .co.uk ...

    Hope we can figure something out

  25. What win98 can do that NT can't on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You can cut down win98 a heck of a lot:

    I can't see a way to do this quite so well with WinNT/2k/XP without buying an Xbox :)

    It's useful because you can double-boot with your linux and keep Win98 cut down just for games or whatever.
