  1. I fifth that on Unsung Heroes of Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Gvim is a great little program, even if I haven't got around to setting it as my default editor at work (Visual Studio 7)

  2. Re:Yeah... and? on Oxford Students Hack University Network · · Score: 4, Informative
    Quoth gilrain
    That's why this surprised me. In the real world, sure they would be rightfully prosecuted. But with the entire event being isolated to a university campus...
    I'm pretty sure they're not going to be prosecuted.
    From the Guardian article:
    "The police referred the matter back to the university, saying it was best dealt with internally."
  3. Re:Animal Crossing on On Online Backgammon And Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    Yes, I found that I was playing almost every day for a month or two. But then I'd discovered all the fossils and paid off my house, and there just wasn't the same desire to go back in.

    Dillo was heinously crashy for me
    When was the last time you used dillo though? I've been running v0.8.0 for the last couple of months and haven't had any problems. Of course my box has a whopping 64mb of RAM, so things aren't always speedy...

    Quoth Zareste:
    (Netscape is) one of the slowest browsers you can get, while IE for Mac goes much faster, and of course, Safari blazes past both of them.
    What's Opera like on a Mac?

    Quoth neuroticia:
    (Especially since Apple has unusually large patches sometimes.)
    Look at the Quicktime updater for example...

    Quoth irokitt:
    "$3500 per month for 1GB per month" Now surely that's in Australian currency, but that still sounds expensive to me.
    Even for Australian currency ($1 AUD ~= $0.75 USD), that's bloody expensive.
    Considering that most broadband plans here cost between $50 and $100 dollars a month, this is very, very pricey.

    Quoth Minna Kirai:
    Somebody far away yelling that he owns your stuff has no real effect on ownership.

    Quoth AC
    It's hard for them to say "fuck you" while they've got a bigmouthful of US dick. If they didn't object to sugar cane being left out of the Free Trade deal, I doubt they'll stop deep throating just for some scary hacker, sovereign nation or not.
    They also haven't complained yet about the two Australian guys who have been locked up in Guantanamo Bay for more than two years.
  12. Re:Baseball BATS ! on A Peek At Script Kiddie Culture · · Score: 1
    Quoth Megafur:
    The powerful threat of "meat damage". There was some fakey "hacker" card game put out by WotC once where that could happen. I forget what it was called though.
    Were you thinking of Netrunner perhaps?

    The first instance I can think of for this was in Usagi Yojimbo on the C64. Can anyone think of any older games?

    If it's that much of a problem for you, then just press F11 and go into full screen mode.

  17. Re:You sir are wrong. on Australia To Adopt U.S.-Style Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    Quoth Joel Carr It's not going to help us at all. However we have an election coming up this year and Jonny has been trying to get this free trade deal sealed for quite a while now. You can bet that if he does get it, no matter how bad it actually is, he'll make sure we all know about it come the election. We'll be told that thanks to his government, relations with the US are now better than ever, and look, a free trade deal to prove it! I don't think that it'll help little Johnny that much at all... He's really pissed off the sugar industry and a lot of farmers...

    I remember that the world championships used to be broadcast on ESPN. Does anyone know if that's still happening?

    If it can be done, you can bet we'll be hearing about it here at Slashdot, soon... Isn't there someone out there running a web server on a PDA

    If we hear about a web server on a PDA, it won't be running for very long....
  20. Re:Seems to reflect CD pricing bias on Exchange Rates Play With Online Music Prices · · Score: 1

    The price seems likely, given that Telstra's music service is charging A$1.49 a track.
    Unfortunately, they're Windows Media Player files, so that excludes me...
    This information was gleaned from an interesting article about it at The Age.

    Ogg is like Betamax -- while theoretically better, isn't Better Enough to make 99.9% of the world care about it.
    The thing is, with video players it was only possible to accept either beta or VHS. Portable music devices are able to support multiple formats without too much trouble.

    If you think yourself a criminal, please follow these instructions:
    1. Kill yourself
