  1. Re:At least until MS buys yahoo ... on Flickr Adds Video Capabilities to Service · · Score: 1

    Would google/picasa meet your needs? I haven't use it myself, but they're the biggest alternative i could think of. I suppose there's also deviantart and photobucket, but I've no idea if they're any good.

  2. Re:Triple J Unearthed on Why the RIAA Really Hates Downloads · · Score: 1

    Did you know you can listen to JJJ over the internet? Just head on down to http://www.triplej.net.au/listen/default.htm.

  3. Re:just eat it on Newly Discovered Fungus Threatens World Wheat Crop · · Score: 1

    I think I'm going to have to side with Steve (from "Steve, Don't Eat It!") and stay as far away from this "devil poop" as I can.
    Linky thing here: http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000344.php

  4. Re:It'll all end in tears.... on Internet Explorer 8 Beta Features Revealed · · Score: 1

    Just letting you know that Opera's set of search terms can be updated. For example I could right click on the search edit box at the bottom of this page and choose "Create search". Now I'm able to select random text and send it through to the slashdot search.

    Could it be they asked your parents, or someone who knew where you were?

  6. Re:Who cares? Use Opera on Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12 · · Score: 1

    I'm just waiting for 9.50 to finally come out of beta...

  7. Re:Opera on Firefox's Market Share Hits 28% in Europe · · Score: 1

    yes.. just what i want, all browsers to not just be adware infected, but adware themselves!

    Who said anything about adware? I think they're referring to the ancient past when Opera was free, but had an ad panel up the top.
  8. Re:Good thing? on Star Trek-like 'Phraselator' Helps Police · · Score: 1

    Nope, it's a one way device. The police enter the phrase and this thing speaks it in whatever language it's set to. There are slightly more details in a wired article here.

  9. Re:This is horrid on Star Trek-like 'Phraselator' Helps Police · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could try this blog post in Wired. But I don't know that it's much better.

  10. Re:Grain of Salt Required? on Exploding Cell Phone Battery Kills · · Score: 1

    Turns out it was a cover up. There's more information at the Sydney Morning Herald. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2007/11/30/1196037111096.html

    No, I think it was zombie pirates. Like this one here.

    What did Yea ever do to you?

  13. Re:Imagine that on Hacked iPhones Confirmed As Bricking With Latest Update · · Score: 1

    ...and a subpar web browser. Don't get me wrong. I like the Curve a lot, and in the last couple years I've had a Blackberry 7290, 8700 and right now I have an 8800. But the Blackberry web browser doesn't even hold a candle to the iPhone browser. At least give Apple credit where it is due. They have the first decent mobile web browser.

    Have you tried Opera on a mobile? I've heard good things about it, but never tried it myself.

    Do you always begin conversations this way?

  16. Re:Bookmarks? Pff on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 1

    Looks like I spoke too soon. Google has just added search to Google Reader.
    Huzzah! Although it's giving me problems with 9.50... hmmm... back to 9.23 for now.

  17. Re:Bookmarks? Pff on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 1

    I don't really use bookmarks that much (even though with this I might start to). What I really want is can we please please PLEASE have RSS sync? Please? This is why I ended up using Google reader. Even though it doesn't have the ability to search my feeds... (why google?!? WHY!?!?)
  18. Re:I thoroughly enjoyed the eery feeling that on Self-Introspecting Robot Learns to Walk · · Score: 1

    Something like Pleo? I don't think it's quite what you want, but still could be interesting. There's an article from Wired about Pleo and its creator here.

  19. Re:Just hope you don't get an effed image. on Building a Fast Wikipedia Offline Reader · · Score: 2, Funny
    Blatantly stolen from David Morgan-Mar.

    In many of the more relaxed corners of the Outer Eastern Rim of the Internet, Wikipedia has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Britannica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.

    First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words "anyone can edit" inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
  20. Re:Bad idea on Using Face Recognition Instead of a PIN Number · · Score: 1

    I've mentioned this before, but it's appropriate so I'll link it again. It's the Zug credit card prank! Read this and never feel safe with your credit cards again.

  24. Re:Gadgets? Bah. It's software I'm addicted to. on How Long Could You Live Without Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. I wrote something similar so I could use the media keys (play/pause, next track, etc) on my keyboard. Then iTunes started supporting media keys natively. Oh well.

    I'm curious, what do you use the iTunes hotkey control for?
