  1. Re:My Talk With Richard Stallman About This on Norway Outlaws iTunes · · Score: 1

    My MobiBlue Cube plays PlayForSure files, and runs fine with my linux system for transferring music. Haven't tried buying PlayForSure crap for it, cause well, I prefer not to waste my time on worthless bullshit.

  2. Re:As much as I hate Sony right now.. on Sony Fixes Back Compat Issues in PS3 Update · · Score: 1

    "There are about 25 cube games worth playing. There are about 300 PS2 games worth playing, and another 300 PS1 games worth playing."

    First off, there are more than 25 games worth playing on the Gamecube.
    Second, your post makes you sound like an uninformed Sony fanboy. Would be careful with your wordings next time, they really like to tear into fanboys around here.

    See, thats why I like my Apple products. Their class action lawsuit wanted to give me money for things I didn't purchase.

  8. Re:.Mac & iTunes on Just Cancel the @#%$* Account! · · Score: 1

    And it wasn't iTunes's fault that she couldn't play her music. It was your friend's own inept abilities to remember a username and password that caused the problem.

  9. Re: Mobile OS X on Macworld Rumor Round-Up · · Score: 1

    The one I heard about was being developed about the time of the original Messagepad. The developer was pulled from the project and put on the NewtonOS instead. I'll see if I can find the link to the article I heard about it in.

  10. Re: Mobile OS X on Macworld Rumor Round-Up · · Score: 1

    Apple had a mobile MacOS for a pen based computer along time ago. They dumped working on it because it'd compete with the Newton. Then Steve Jobs returned and dumped Newton. Now there are rumors of a mobile MacOS, again.

  12. Re:How One Small Business Switched to Zune on How One Small Business Switched to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Promise's driver for Linux worked great for me under Slackware 10. Then I upgraded to 10.1 and on up as each version came out. Only way I found to get my Promise card to work was forcing the kernel to load a really old binary driver for an old kernel. It refused to work with the open source drivers, and Promise's refused to link in with a newer kernel.

    I think next time I'll just get a lobotomy and an Adaptec SCSI based storage solution.

  13. Re:Great idea! on Flexible, Plastic Sheets of Power · · Score: 1

    Tesla's device for wireless transmission worked with the natural oscillating frequencies of the earth. He always tried to work with nature, not against it.

    He also was working on an etheric/zero point based energy source so we could get rid of all this enviromentaly damaging power plants.

  14. Re:I can see why the PS3 is not in demand on The Decline of the PS3 Grey Market · · Score: 1

    The Atari Jaguar had a form of online play long before the Dreamcast or XBox.
    The VCS had a modem for downloading games. - http://www.cyberroach.com/cyromag/six/mvc-880f.jpg
    Other consoles, from Nintendo, had them before Dreamcast. Other older companies did too.

    The only thing I've seen being new this time around is Nintendo including a photo editor. Everything else is just repackaged old ideas and techniques. Though I do enjoy Nintendo's version of them, alot.

  15. Re:Features? on Review of New Xandros 4.1 Professional Linux · · Score: 1

    Should try Slackware with Blackbox or Afterstep. Those seem to run pretty nicely on old hardware.

    Also, could try QNX, it's fast, fancy, and lacks even more software than BeOS :)

    I'm sorry, is this a 5 minute call, or the full half hour?

    I would just like to say something to deflate your huge sense of self worth. Slashdot was started by guys from Michigan. :P

    Hey, don't insult us Mac users like that. I use Slackware and Mac OS X as my two main OSes. Slackware for Server and Desktop, OS X for laptop. Tell him to go back to drooling over the latest screens of Vista.
