  1. Solution. on UK ISPs Secretly Start Blocking Torrent Site Proxies · · Score: 5, Informative

    Install Opera.
    Turn on turbo browsing mode (Icon bottom left.)

    PirateProxy.net now working again for me on Virgin.

  2. Re:Wrong approach on Ask Slashdot: Low-Cost Tools To Track Employees' Web Use? · · Score: 2

    >>It eventually was just easier for them to give me the password to unblock sites myself, rather than pester them about it.

    I guess that could be a starting point for the problem?

    Everyone gets a user/pass, they add their own sites.

    As long as it's all logged (IE, you don't remove example.com 10 minutes after using it) that would provide a solution.

  3. Re:What alternative? on LulzSec Calls For PayPal Boycott, Spokesman Arrested · · Score: 1

    As a buyer, sure, I can't complain.

    As a seller, I'm looking for alternatives.

    I don't like the charges they levy (although I accept others are worse) and I certainly don't like the prospect of them freezing your account and then stealing your money 180 days later.

  4. Re:Slashdot and Bitcoin on Bitcoin Is Not Anonymous · · Score: 2

    I get the same as the parent comment, I have not searched for bitcoin.

    slashdot
    slashdot rss
    slashdotted
    slashdot wiki
    slashdot bitcoin

    *shrug* :-)

  5. Re:Ten points if reading this on your second monit on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    I guess for me that depends on which you call your other monitor. I'm watching a film on my other. ;-)

    When I bought my current gear, I pondered much over whether to get one Apple 30" screen or two 23" ones - both coming in at the same price. I went for two. I decided the two would give me some redundancy, and it appeared easier on my eyes during tests.

    A.

  6. Motive? on Google To Drop Support For H.264 In Chrome · · Score: 1

    The easy inability to stick ad's in ?
    The H.264 2015 deadline?
    Kicking Apple on Adobe's behalf?

    I'm not sure of the motive here. Taking away support for anything is surely a bad idea?

  7. Phew. on Adobe's iPhone Hail Mary · · Score: 1

    I was really struggling getting my head round the iPhone Dev Kit.

    In a fraction of the time, I have learnt Actioscript 3.0 and have workable code up and running. It is SO much easier.

    I, for one, can't wait for CS5 now.

    A.

  8. I have the same problem... on QuickTime .MOV + Toshiba + Vista = BSOD · · Score: 1


    I get an instant BSOD if I open a .MOV file locally from an Adaptec Raid Array card.

    In the same PC, another drive on the on-board nVidia Raid controller will open the same file fine, it would also play from a CD, a memory stick or compact flash card.

    Never did work out why.

  9. Re:Flag on BBC Reports UK-U.S. Terror Plot Foiled · · Score: 1

    Because the plan was to bring down the planes on US cities as I understand it.

    Also, all the airlines involved were US ones.

  10. Re:Screw the Ferrari on Buy John Romero's Ferrari On EBay · · Score: 1

    You would need to get past the dogs first to get to Stevie. She is a cutie though.

  11. Re:Drivers for Creative Labs Dxr3 kit for Windows on Windows NT and DVD Decoders? · · Score: 1

    Works fine for me with NT4.0, SP5, Riva TNT2 and Soundblaster Live.

    Some speech sync problems, but then films like Lock Stock and Two Smoking do that all by itself anyway.

  12. Re:This is all nice, but... on Premiere Episode of Slashdot Radio:Geeks in Space · · Score: 1


    Banshee under NT was locking solid for me whilst viewing Slashdot and various other TABLE heavy sites. Worked fine under 98.

    I upgraded the card to a TNT2 and that works fine. Someone mentioned that it may be because the Banshee drivers accelerate all windows GDI functions - but then so does the TNT2.
