  1. Re:Don't spare THOSE places! on Win a Part in the Hitchhiker's Guide · · Score: 1

    No, that's the Best. One liner. Evar.

  2. Re:XFCE vs. KDE on Cobind Desktop Reviewed, With Interview · · Score: 1

    Maybe not out-of-the box but you have two choices that I know of right now:

    fbpager and fluxter.

  3. Re:That.. on Microsoft Eyeing AOL? · · Score: 1

    I know that Slashdot is very US centric, but anyways...

    AIM is completely unknown in Argentina, nobody uses it, nobody even knows about it, they are simply happy with MSN. MSN Messenger is the IM App of choice. ICQ had it's time but now it's certainly dead. I seriously doubt they'd ditch MSN and they'll probably just do what AOL did with ICQ, keep them as separate products, probably sharing the infrastructure.

    I have succeeded in getting some people to use Jabber lately, mainly due to big MSN outages, but it's a very small number.

  4. Re:When I was 10 years old... on Best BBS Memories? · · Score: 1

    For you, LORD fans, http://www.lotgd.com

    The biggest site I've found running Legend of the Green Dragon, the php remake of LORD.

  5. Re:I wish more of them would on They Blocked My SMTP, Now What? · · Score: 1

    Incoming, outgoing, or both? The workarounds can be different depending on which it is. Incoming. Outgoing is fine.

  6. Re:Incoming or outgoing? on They Blocked My SMTP, Now What? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I was referring to incoming traffic, I thought it was clear enough but then again, english is not my native language.

    Outgoing port 25 is just fine.

  7. Death on The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    If you die in the Matrix MMORPG... do you die in real life as well?

    After all... the mind cannot live without the game.

  8. Oh damn. on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 1

    The phrase "Light as a cloud" doesn't make much sense to me anymore.

  9. passwords.txt on Online Document Search Reveals Secrets · · Score: 1

    Oh, so I'm not supposed to save all my important passwords in plaintext in a clearly marked "passwords.txt" file in my webserver for easy access?

    Oh damn.

  10. Re:Hmmm. on Afterstep 2.0 Beta Includes XML Graphics System · · Score: 2, Funny

    Windows 95 Plus! flashback! Oh god! Make the hurting stop, make the hurting stop! Now, seriously, I liked that theme but on such a high resolution that wallpaper just looks bad. Something nifty like that but rendered in glorious 3D would be neat.

  11. Re:Well... on Hams Complain about Powerline Broadband · · Score: 0

    I didn't mean to be a Troll here, just wanted to say that there are more modern technologies available nowadays.

  12. Well... on Hams Complain about Powerline Broadband · · Score: 0, Troll

    They should just ditch those radios and move on to VoIP. ;)

  13. Anonymous reports on Disclosure of Major Software Exploits by Students? · · Score: 1

    Posting anonymously to a mailing list like bugtraq could help but it could also mean that it could fall on wrong hands. What about just an anonymous report to the software company that developed it?

  14. Re:Moonpod games on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Yeah, indeed Starscape is amazing. I saw the banner at penny-arcade.com and thought... ohhh... top-down spaceshooter. I love those things, played out the demo and it was fantastic. However, I'm waiting for the *nix version to buy it. Really nice eye-candy as well and developed using SDL, their development team is porting it to Mac right now if I'm not mistaken and later on to GNU/Linux.

  15. More Around the World on Free Internet Access Is Profitable In Egypt · · Score: 1

    Argentina has experienced the first wave of free ISPs that displayed ads to support themselves and they failed like almost everywhere else. Nowadays a new wave of free ISPs has arrived, completely free and adless. They support themselves by being tied somehow to other ISPs/Telecoms and by offering special content to their users (Where they display ads). ISPs here have special "reduced fee" telephone numbers which save you quite a lot of money if you stay connected more than 15 minutes. Free ISPs do not have this kind of services. So, they support themselves in part from the money that doesn't go to the "reduced fee".
