  1. camera on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    I have a useful tip

    Look for batteries designed for devices that require higher power.. for example, the AA and AAA batteries sold in the sections in stores where Digtal Cameras are sold... there you'll find batteries which will LAST LONGER ... and cost only minimally more...

  2. Re:Save the eye candy on Menu Shadows in GTK2 · · Score: 1

    if it looks like XP, feels like XP, sounds like XP .. then it is XP!

    but, without the cost, and with other bonuses you get for free like thousands of developers working on your operating system...

    the way I look at it ... if it "has the capability" to clone XP, then it can replace XP for your average user

    so i dont have to hear my mom say things like "Why dont you just use the same programs everybody else does?"

  3. did they ever support linux? on ATI's Radeon Linux drivers no longer supported? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As far as I know, their normal Radeon cards have never supported linux..

    Its only the FireGL cards which do ...

    However, the FireGL drivers also run the Radeon cards .. which is probably where the past assumed 'linux support' came from

  4. But I think it could be easily circumvented .. on Paul Graham on Fighting Spam · · Score: 0, Redundant

    As described, it would be very hard for legit spam to get through.. However, what I'm thinking is that they could have their normal 5 KB of email which is spam .. and at the bottom .. (or anywhere else) , just add 20 KB of words they know are "good words" .. throw html comment tags around it and its never seen to the viewer ... but the large amounts of "good words" outnumbers the "bad words" , causing a spam msg to be considered good...

    I don't know if that'll really work.. but its a thought

  5. hmm on Spam King Living High in the Bayou · · Score: 1

    someday website TOS's will say "links to this site may not appear on slashdot"

    google cache

  6. ofcourse, its MS on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    this is the way i look at it

    MSNBC = Microsoft NBC
    Author of article = By John W. Schoen

    notice, the picture on left column gives his title as "MSNBC Sr. Producer"

    I guess that tells us why his aritcle is all about the dead of linux :)

    Next we'll see CNN on the Death of internet explorer

  7. What we really need. on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 1

    What we REALLY need:

    1. A phone no bigger in any dimension than a Nokia 8xxx
    2. It should open up to a RIM style keyboard on one side, and LCD on the other (Nokia 9xxx)
    3. It should have decent API's, with popular libraries / languages ( QT for GUI ... optional java ..)
    4. It should have a decent processor
    5. It should have one of those projected keyboards

    That gives you a phone in your pocket, a PDA when you need one, and the projected keyboard gives TI enough buttons to start a major Math software company on the side ..

  8. You know on Microsoft Case Proceeds · · Score: 1

    I would like to see this:

    1. Modular windows for OEM's
    2. Retail windows which forces you to use MS products

    This setup would mean, basically.. if you want a "nice" version of windows, you have to get it from OEM's .. if you want to be microsoft dependent, you can get it from them..

    End Result? Microsoft is 50% happy (but who really cares except their investors), OEM's are happy, developers of replacement software (real player, netscape, etc) are happy ...... the idea is, Microsoft sortof gets its way, the states sortof get their way .. is that too hard ?!

  9. I dunnno on Haptic Battle Pong... Future of Game Interface? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In my opinion, a game is a game -- and should stay there.

    Feedback is nice, but if you want reality, come to reality .. Living in a virtual world, and pretending its reality, lets you lose yourself...

    no offence everquest folks

  10. Re:Off Topic request on Linux at Industrial Light and Magic · · Score: 1

    google cache

    that would be a good feature
