  1. Re:Personal server on Axentra Rumba Server - Home Do-It-All Box · · Score: 1

    You mean .Mac? :) Does all that, without having to run a server in your home, and possible get suspended for having a server.

  2. Re:O_o on Beatles Bite Apple · · Score: 1

    Apple Computers was originally banned from doing anything music related by their agreement with Apple Records. They were allowed to make system beeps, but nothing more. As you can imagine, that created problems when they wanted to add a software synth to their computers in the form of QuickTime. So, before they actually published anything with MIDI capabilities, they paid Apple Records a fairly large amount of money to rescind the agreement and never sue them again. This is also why the iPod is legal, iTunes is legal, and that system sound is named sosumi (pronounced so-sue-me).

  3. Re:Lockout? on Apple Polishing Mac OS X for Uncle Sam? · · Score: 1

    Buying only Win2k would mean a another hardware lockout, x86 hardware only?

  4. Interesting on Apple Wins VT in Cost. vs. Performance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Dell - too expensive [one of the reasons for the project being so "hush hush" was that dell was exploring pricing options during bidding]

    Who could have guessed? ;)

  5. Re:gamecube2 on PS3 Backwards Compatibility Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Nintendo did try to make the SNES compatible with NES games. The SNES CPU is a 16 bit version of the NES CPU, which has an 8 bit mode. The rumor is they had trouble getting it to work well enough, and decided it wasn't worth the time and money to work out the kinks.

    Yes they did get it to work, but it would have added an extra cost of 100$ or something in that area, and they felt that it wasn't worth he extra price.

  12. Does Mac OS X count? on Nearly 2 Million Active Sites running FreeBSD · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does OS X count, when they sum up all the BSD machines?

  13. Why not on Installing Halon Fire Supression System at Home? · · Score: 1

    Install Fire-warners instead, and keep a fire extinguisher ready.

  17. C'mon on Happy Birthday, Dear DNS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No need to post Wired articles all the time. If you like them so much you might as well go there and read them everyday.

  18. Re:Metal Sucks. Aqua slightly better. on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah they're even breaking their own aqua guidelines. I haven't had a problem with telling which window is infront since I use tabs, and hide applications I don't use.

  19. Not much left for Steve on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    Rumor sites and leaks have pretty much gotten all the good stuff already. So I wonder what Steve will do on monday. I mean he truly loves announcing new shiny things.

  20. Re:Torrent here on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yeah, hopefully. Maybe people need to flip a switch first ;)

  21. Re:Torrent here on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Uh oh, now the discussion will become yet another BitTorrent FaQ thread.

  22. I hate metal on Screenshots of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Leaked · · Score: 1

    I think Apple should keep the aqua look, this new look, isn't as nice as the current.

    I see no need to have every application in a metal theme. All the apple apps are enough.

  23. Timesplitters 2 on Two Players, One Console, Cooperative Play? · · Score: 1

    It's a great game, it's made by the same people that made Goldeneye for N64. After goldeneye they started their own company.

    It's a shooter game similar to goldeneye. But instead you travel through time. It has high replay value too. On easy you can beat it well easy. On normal it's much harder. But you'll beat it. Now hard heh it's near impossible :p

    It also has a great multiplayer part where you can play in teams against bots. It also has some crazy singleplayer mini games.

    Higly recommended.

  24. Here's another link to the page on Apple Marketing Hypes New PowerMacs · · Score: 1

    Worlds fastest personal computer

    I for one hopes they run the same sort of commercials that they did when they introduced the G3 :)

  25. Re:Some great bittorrent sites on BitTorrent Guide · · Score: 1

    Naw it says

    Slashdot sucks. Oh yeah, we'll be back.
