  1. Cause and effect on Binary Package Formats Compared · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cause: The word "apropos" is used in The Matrix: Reloaded
    Effect: The word apropos is used on Slashdot.

  2. Re:Hot damn. on Intellivision Operating System Revealed · · Score: 1

    Heh, reminds me of that Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie song: "From MacOS to Windows, to Lin-li-lin-linux, every computer crashes 'cause every OS sucks".

    Every computer of that era managed to fit an OS into about 16k of ROM, and the Commodore Plus4 even had a spreadsheet and word processor in there... Kinda makes everything else look bloated.

  3. Mad Science Awards on Chicken Run · · Score: 1

    At least it beats the "science" depicted in the Mad Science Awards.

  4. Molecular music on The Art, Music And Computer Science Of DNA · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dr. Linda Long had been doing something similar with Music of the Plants and Music of the Body.

  5. So confused... on Firebird Database Project Admin on Name Clash · · Score: 1

    Firebird? I thought they released games on the C64!

  6. Illegal lending/copying on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 1

    While we're at it, it's illegal to lend books to friends. They might as well throw you in jail for that as well, just to be on the safe side.

  7. Re:Microwave on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    The phone was not expected to be revolutionary - the inventor thought that maybe there would be as many as one per village.

  8. Re:Redundant on Are Video Blogs Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    >vidog, videblog, vog, . . . this isn't going to catch on, is it.

    Yeah, it's far too similar to the catchy phrase Ogg Vorbis. People would get confused.

  9. Re:Lets think about what makes good tv... on Are Video Blogs Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 1

    >I know for sure it aint my life, could it be yours? If so, why?

    Because I'm a depressed, philosophical transsexual on acid.*

    (*Except for the acid).

  10. Dot Matrix symphony on Dialtones - A Telesymphony · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sounds a lot like the previously reported dot matrix symphony a while back. Interesting, but an acquired taste.

  11. Music that's free to copy on Which Artists Support Music Swapping? · · Score: 1

    You can copy my music which is available in Ogg Vorbis format. How many other musicians here have released their music online? Surely more than have spoken so far.</SHAMELESS PLUG>

  12. Re:File Extensions on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 1

    All Ogg codecs are going to have an .ogg extension. Apparently the decoders will be the smart type you mentioned, yes.

  13. Re:I actually scored the 64kbps sample above.. on Ogg beats MP3 & The Rest In Listening Test · · Score: 1

    Nope, there's a spiral at the end and the scary face is on the B-side. It definately sounds like a ~64kbps mp3 type noise, not a picture. After putting lots of pictures in songs (Like the C64 screen shot in this one), I can tell the difference.

  14. Re:I actually scored the 64kbps sample above.. on Ogg beats MP3 & The Rest In Listening Test · · Score: 1

    I swear there's about two seconds in the middle of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker that sounds like it was compressed at a very low bitrate. It doesn't sound better, but it's artistic :) Seeing as how you can get plug-ins to give your music an analogue tape feel, nothing would surprise me. Sony keep on trying to claim that MiniDiscs sound "warmer" therefore better than the original CDs.
