  1. Tetra Vaal on District 9 Rises From the Ashes of Halo · · Score: 1

    I am surprised that no one posted this. It is the first video and IMO the best video that I have seen from this director. Oddly, it looks even more realistic before the Youtube conversion, if you can find it.

  2. great new gadget for this! on Text-Messaging Behind the Wheel · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Palm has been busy.... on What Happened To Palm? · · Score: 1

    Actually, tethering will still be a no and personally, I have my doubts that ssh would be a battery hog...

  4. Re:Encrypt! on New Worm Installs Sniffer · · Score: 1

    What program was that? That sounds like a very interesting one that I'd love to try out.

  5. better link on SETI Researcher Quashes Signal Rumors · · Score: 1

    I don't know why the much better link with more information from seti.org wasn't posted instead of this short article.

  6. Re:I won't buy it on Linux Smartphones Race To Be 1st In U.S. · · Score: 1

    I actually went to the Sprint, Cingular, Verizon, and T-mobile's websites. Every time Slashdot posts an article about a smartphone this same comment gets posted. If you don't want a smartphone, DON'T BUY ONE! If you want a simple phone, without a camera or tons of gee-whiz features, they are available. All you have to do is go to your carrier's website! All the above carriers' cheapest models, in most cases free after rebate, have very basic, almost no-frills, certainly not smartphones, handsets. I don't care if you don't want a smartphone! I don't expect you to care that my Duron 650 machine still does everything I need it to do! I don't expect you to care that people are still using TRS-80 Model 100s!

  7. Re:Interesting! on Fifteen Years of Technology Reporting · · Score: 1

    LOL, aaaawesome. Thanks for reminding me about the Mooninites especially in this context. :)

  8. Re:Really on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    I wholeheartedly agree. I love Japan and was just there a few months ago (and plan to move there next year) but I think this doesn't even qualify as a meme. It's just lame.

  9. Re:What it really means on Online MD5 Cracking Service · · Score: 1

    There sort of is a movie. I'm pretty sure this is what I rented on video. I thought it was the whole story on one tape, possibly edited down, but I don't think we even finished watching it because it was so awful.

  10. Re:This has been going on in Winnipeg for years... on Vancouver Bars Network Together to Track Patrons · · Score: 1

    BAHAHA! I just had to note (Score:1, Insightful) That's some mighty fine moderating.

  11. Re:This has been going on in Winnipeg for years... on Vancouver Bars Network Together to Track Patrons · · Score: 1

    This is only at the CanadInns bars, which I rarely go to-and I go out a lot. I've probably been to them 3 times in the last 5 years. I'm not passing judgement either way. From my perspective it seems like fights have dropped off in the last several years. This could be attributed to a lot of otehr factors though. Any comment?

  12. Re:xine on the Xbox? on GNU/Linux bootable CD on XBOX: dyne:bolic · · Score: 1

    Or you could use DVD-X dongle free, which supports menus, is region free and does not use macrovision and runs native on Xbox without Linux. No dongle or remote is required. (Download link not legally available)

  13. Re: work with 007 hack on GNU/Linux bootable CD on XBOX: dyne:bolic · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's on the front page of xbox-scene right now and here and you can download it here

  14. Re:Enough memory for this? on GCC 3.3 Native Build For NetBSD/dreamcast · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here is a link but the original site seems to be dead now. :(

  15. Re:Anyone else remember this? on Slashback: Rendering, Munich, Clones · · Score: 1

    Yup, it went both ways. I have even seen it going the other way on Nazi propagandha. First google hit for "swastika buddhist" - Swastika - The Ancient Symbol

  16. Re:Wolfenstein: "GUTEN TAG" on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    I set my ICQ incoming message wav to that sample for a while. It was pretty cool until one night at around 3 AM my ICQ had been quiet for a long time and then a buddy messaged me. The speakers were pretty loud and I just about shit! I changed the sound scheme the next day, I think :)

  17. Re:Neat, but why bother? on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 1

    You can switch off several of the newer modchips and revert to the orginal BIOS on several of the newer modchips when you want to go onto XBox Live. This is regardless of EvoX and/or linux installed also.

  18. Re:I still hope on Linux On Unmodded Xbox, Improved · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, you can boot to linux without opening the case with the original method. This method is to flash the onboard bios so you don't have to go through the 007 workaround everytime you want to run unsigned code.

    It looks like she just is probably using someone else's machine. She's using the arrow keys...

    Mr. SpookySuicide, It has come to our attention that you are making posts on the internet regarding our intellectual property. Please remove all references you have created to Tony Soprano or our legal team will be forced to take action.

  23. GPU drivers on Xbox Receives Linux Mandrake 9.0 · · Score: 1

    Forgive me if this question has already been answered, but have there been Linux drivers written that will actually use the X-box GPU's 3d acceleration capabilities or is it just software acceleration for now?

  24. Re:non-professional website. on Indian Linux PDA For $300 · · Score: 1

    The article is also dated August 19. I really hope this isn't vapourware as I think every PDA should have a USB port. The SD + Compact Flash is a real bonus also!

  25. Re:Any serial port? on New Zaurus Prototype, Sony Palm OS 5 Devices, Yopy 3500 · · Score: 1

    Yup, I believe most Palm's will work (at least the older ones). You just need the cable. I'm betting similar solutions exist for any of the linux based handhelds also.

    linux specific article
