  1. miniDV on Long-Term Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 1

    After a few years of trying to find the solution to this problem, I looked at my miniDV camera... I was happy to discover that people thought of it before (http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/03/0246245&mode=nested&tid=126&ti%20d=137&tid=106). Same as tape backup, but no need to purchase more (expensive) hardware, if you happen to use a miniDV camcorder. Even if you don't, those are much cheaper than "real" tape drives.

  2. Re:Ahh, Wikipedia. on Slashback: Wikipedia, Netwosix, GooglePC · · Score: 1

    The issue of (un)intentionally wrong info in wikipedia is not that simple, especially when it provokes attempts to clear its name. Let's not forget that wikipedia is _made_by_users, therefore the responsibility for its content _stays_with_users. The problem is, when you try to make a manageable, branded product out of wikipedia, you will always have problems with "lack of reliability". Ultimately, the model can be reliable up to a certain level, and should be evaluated from that standpoint, and branded/presented accordingly.

  3. I have friends on For Love of The Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    among Chessmaster characters. Ennemies too...

  4. no-performance on Buying a Small, Light Linux Notebook Computer? · · Score: 1, Funny

    anyone interested in starting a low-budget campaign for ignoring computer performance increases: lets do it togeather!

  5. Ever seen a different arrow keys placement? on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    I worked in text editing for a lot of time, and have become a firm believer in a concept where arrow keys for left and right were below the space key, right under your thumbs. I think all text-editing people out there, at least those that don't use Vi, would really appreciate this. But I never saw it. Did anyone run into something simmilar?
