  1. Re:Es5 on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: 1

    I installed it, just to see what the GUI was like. The much touted "anonymous" and "secure" p2p functions of ES5 depend entirely on the end user's ability to find a Proxy Server, and for the "secure" part, that Proxy Server has to support SSL Proxy. Maybe there are some easier to use secure p2p functions in ES5 I'm missing.

    I read the article before I posted. My post was in reply to your post, which was speculating on whether or not the employees at most Chinese restaurants are of Vietnamese decent.

    The people in the Chinese restraunt would probably be here because they don't like the regime in the PRC (People's Republic of China). You must be confusing them with the Vietnamese restraunt, because we haven't tried to "liberate" China. Yet.

    True. But they certainly have more bandwidth for "hungry" Slashdotters. From what I understand, many of the missing non-Alpha-stage packages are available at most distro-specific mirrors, such as Debian, Gentoo, and in RPMS form.

    They are now telling me I need to pay them another $1399 to use that software?

    Or even better, I'll pay you $$$ for that copy of SCO Linux, so I can put it on my Xbox. And then you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling of seeing Ballmer's puppet company Linux distro (SCO Linux) running on the "prized" Microsoft Xbox.

    I bought a v1.1 Xbox off eBay, so I can flash the TSOP bios with one of the cracks. That way, I can play KOTOR and run Linux.

    I may have only two ears, but I think anyone who's heard The Matrix on their own personal dolby 5.1 system would be obliged to agree with me that surround sound does work. Next time, put more thought into your troll.

    It either requires a 3rd party memory card with a PC uplink connector, or knowing someone with a hacked Xbox who can put the save game on a normal memory card for you. So if you live in a big city you can just swap memory cards at a meeting. Tutorials Here.

    Calm down, child. It has USB 2. All will be interfaced. As for the VGA output, Lik Sang didn't have any trouble aquiring RCA AV in/out adapters for the GBA SP.

  20. Re:7.1 channel audio on a handheld device?! on Specs for Sony PSP Handheld · · Score: 1

    I personally would be more interested in the headphones Sony expects to attach to the PSP. 7.1 headphones would be my dream come true - no need for a $100-250 5.1 Dobly speaker system.

  21. Re:Battery Consumption on Specs for Sony PSP Handheld · · Score: 1

    If it's less than an inch thick it may not need a fan. Most handhelds don't have fans because simply because generating that much heat alone drains the battery at a phenomenal rate. That is assuming it has a 1000mAH-ish battery. So I presume the media motor and gpu/cpu's will be near the outside of the case.

    They're launching it at E3. The Japanese manufacturers usually don't show products they plan to only market in Japan at US trade shows, AFAIK. Of course, they may release it in Japan 6 months early.

    With a 16"x9" widescreen, it certainly won't be small. I say the Gameboy family will remain the most efficient. Heck, with a screen that big I bet it will cost at least $300 at launch.
