  1. Could we have a vote please on Are We About To Enter The Age of Book Piracy? · · Score: 1

    "Have you read a full ebook?"
    |- "Yes"
    |- "No"
    |- "The thought of Cowboy Neal distracts me"

  2. Re:Why? on Windows 95 in 4.47MB · · Score: 1

    can't get all games to run under wine, useful to have smallest fat partition, possible with ext2 anywhere to test / install games

  3. proof of motive? on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1

    I suppose that in order to prevent crime it is /essential/ to pre-empt?

    If the infomation is distributed that is no proof of motive that is required for any prosecution right?

    People shouldn't be silenced from speech so,
    a breech of privacy is the next option.

    So how do you feel about this one?

    If you post on slashdot about bomb making and government is it ok for the authorities to tap your phone line and intercept your mail.

    At a push I am prepared to give up my privacy but only if there is no other option. Even then I'm not so sure as the infomation is so often not relevent to the reason for scrutiny.

  4. place valuables down pants on Addicted Gamers Succumb To Cybercafe Thefts · · Score: 1

    and feel the gentle warmth of mobile radiation

  5. Deus-Ex (1) for linux was at working stage - on Deus Ex - Invisible War Probed · · Score: 1

    Loki got this game to a playable stage and a beta release was circulated ready for testing.

    We know what happened next.

    Sourcecode probably gone forever but the binary is out there somewhere with those previous beta-testers.

    Know of any who may want to share the conversion?

  6. When one of you guys walks down the highstreet on Sci-Fi Memorabilia To Ogle And / Or Buy · · Score: 1

    in full costume,

    give me a call

    I want to be there.

  7. Remember CorelDraw for Linux? on Corel Ousted From Public Life? · · Score: 1

    I got CorelDraw for Linux ... old glib compiled etc.

    Hopefully now things will improve :)

  8. Re:Yet another mozilla advantage over IE on Mozilla Gets (Beta) Native SVG support · · Score: 1

    If IE isn't bundled with the next Windows, such as XP should have been we wouldn't be in this mess.

    In many ways us having to put up with users having IE is due to the DoJ's failure to sort things out.

    What will happen on the next release of Windows? Do they have to stop supplying IE with the OS?

  9. GUI drawing / converting? on Mozilla Gets (Beta) Native SVG support · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting/looking out for for something like this.

    So I see it's w3 approved, so where can I get something to draw and convert files?

    (other than http://www.adobe.com/svg/demos/devtrack/svgdraw.ht ml)

  10. after support? on Sony Switches To Its Own Processor For Handhelds · · Score: 1

    well I'd like to get one (due to battery life) but how have Sony reassured me that it will still be useful after they have stopped supporting it?

  11. I do this when filling out forms on Honeytokens: The Other Honeypot · · Score: 1

    And then see what Junk Mail I recieve.

    It's amazing who makes the Data Protection Act.

  12. UK costs if you're interested on Cheap Dial-Up ISPs Gain Ground · · Score: 1

    For your reference, lowest costs I've seen in UK -

    24/7 dialup - £10 ($16)

    24/7 dialup, good connection, no disconnects etc - £15 ($24)

    512/256 ADSL - £18 ($29)

    So for us it's £3 more for broadband.

    p.p.s. I need extra upstream bandwidth, not downstream. But I can only find download speed upgrades? Some bigger adsl connections have better upload speeds but by then it's extorsionate at £55 ($87) for 512/400k up?

  13. Intelligent or just plain scared? on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 1

    Self awareness,

    next..

    global domination

  14. Rate players you've played with on Customer Service Jeopardizes Online Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Why don't games have moderated server? Or a better way to find people you've played with before.

  15. low spending on this gives 1984'ness impression on Funding for TIA All But Dead · · Score: 1

    If work on Terrorism 1984 laws increase as this decreases I'd sayd we're in trouble.

  16. Sneaker-Net support on Valve Launches Public Beta Of Steam · · Score: 1

    I sometimes have to use a Dial up connection a lot.

    This means I have to travel somewhere else to do the bigger downloads and then transfer the files onto my disk of some sort.

    This is ok with Gentoo (wget portagesnapshot.tgz && emerge -ufp world). M$ still provide `mass install` support as well as the auto updaters - this especally helpful when reinstalling afresh every 5 minutes.

    But auto updaters like this completely foul the system as they don't provide support for sneaker-net. What a pain in the neck.

  17. i can see it now on Playstation Lures Kids Into Libraries · · Score: 1

    Silence and tranqility reins across the library. The atmosphere of quiet is actually quite imposing as people whisper...

    only to be interupted by a 4 player 40-button mad button bashing combo

  18. gp32+linux|porting to zaurus on GP32 Showcases Homebrew Coding Winners · · Score: 1

    - gp32 still doesn't run linux unfortunately, damn shame eh?

    - wonder if those games are portable to the Zaurus which is also ARM based? (I broke my gp32 :( )

  19. How much for a broken gp32 on GP32 Showcases Homebrew Coding Winners · · Score: 1

    how much do you think it might fetch if I auction it?

    can't figure out whats wrong with it.

  20. ssssh... on Study: Wi-Fi users Still Don't Encrypt · · Score: 1

    for goodness sake :)

  21. Another fix all solution on Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC · · Score: 1

    Thin-client + move main box to celler.

    cavat: Doesn't work with gaming / 2 expensive afaik.

  22. Re:Excellent Game on Viewtiful Joe Swoops To Save 2D Gameplay · · Score: 1

    really hate having to watch intros. Storylines annoy me too, and they spend so much time and effort on it too :p

  23. hopes it's simple + emergency landings on Protecting Cities from Hijacked Planes · · Score: 1

    Scares the hell out of me too. If it can be done without any programming, perhaps it's a thought.

    - what about emergency landings?
    - beacons are supposed to be a backup, not always able to triangulate
    - unhackable, as long as the plane is in tact... and secure somehow of course

  24. the mobiles here (uk) i thought not good enough? on Digital Shoplifting From Bookstores? · · Score: 1

    - 640x480 is enough?

    - where can I find a cam-phone in the UK with a better res?

  25. thus, a dedicated team required to improve startup on Opensource Code More Refined Than Closed? · · Score: 1

    so it seems that a small group of dedicated individuals / 1 hard working person tends to be the thing that starts good quality code.

    Perhaps closed-sourced developers might like to open up core technology that matters?
