  1. Re:Forgive my ignorance... on Linux Now Booted On GameCube System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So that it can run as a light X terminal, and do some processing too. All gamecubes are connected to TVs, so its a nice easy way to watch your media collection there. Also you could view news headlines, browse email, ect.. Anyway, its nice to run the OS you like on the console you like :) (If true for you)

  2. Drinks / Kitchen automation on What's Next for Your High-Tech Home? · · Score: 1

    Having a bar monkey is a cool home-brewn project, although creating a 'smarter' or more automated kitchen would be a very large and very High-tech :)

  3. Re:It does nothing about Monopoly money, though. on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 1

    I assure you, Bill Gate's money is just US Dollars like everyone else's

  4. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, really on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    What if SCO orchastrated this themselves? It wouldn't be hard for them to attack themselves and then play sick.

  5. I'm in a pirate mood on What's the Hardiest Hardware You've Seen? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The hardiest har-har-har to you all

  6. But on New Label Shows When Fruit Is Ripe · · Score: 1

    What if when walking down the isles I prefer to squeeze and pinch the fruits?

  7. :GARNOME on Gnome.org Desktop Integration Bounty Hunt · · Score: 1

    Get the GARNOME script. Its as simple as going to the gnome-desktop directory and tryping make install

  8. Re:There ARE other "hippie" options for music on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    " it's made by Americans and Europeans, and it's really co"

    Sorry, I only use software made by afro-japanese citizens.

  9. A few ideas on IBM Releases Desktop Linux Presentation · · Score: 1

    Have you tried OpenOffice 1.1? Its definately a positive progression, and the startup time no longer annoys me like in 1.0 (This machine is an AMD 1.6 XP +, so nearly 3 years).

    I think your lumping too much blame on X, try it with a lighter WM like Xfce, Blackbox, Fluxbox ect and your desktop is there just as you see X start.. It surprised me a lot.

    For browsers, Firebird is quite nippy but of course cannot compare to Windows explorer which is already running in the first place in startup times. The Gnome and KDE native browsers are also very nippy too. Dillo is nice, but basic.

  10. Storage on Home Directory In CVS · · Score: 1

    Gnome Storage pretty much sets out to do this in a very user frendly way, although It probably wouldn't cover /ect and other system directories.

  11. Anti-UK? on Apple G5 Ads Banned In UK · · Score: 1

    Reality: Apple was airing an add that did not conform to our rules, therfore it was axed.

    Some people rightly pointed out that the ad was iffy, and action was taken.. go home US fanboy! ;)

  12. Thought for today on Why Blacklisting Spammers Is A Bad Idea · · Score: 1

    Isn't 'Smart Mobs' and oxymoron?

  13. This was explained on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 1

    The texturing problems were due to not all the filtering modes being implemented, and the other glitches were reported and are being worked on

  14. It's on the beta to-do list on New Graphics Company, With Working Cards · · Score: 1

    This could end up a neato little model

  15. Read the fucking link on The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    It explicity says yes in the FAQ, how are you being bloody insightful *takes caffine shot* ah, thats better.

  16. Startopia reviews (It was a brilliant game) on Can Independent Game Developers Survive? · · Score: 1

    Muckyfoot don't deserve this fate http://www.muckyfoot.com/startopia/startopiaprevie wsites.html

  17. Poor Muckyfoot, I'll miss them on Can Independent Game Developers Survive? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Startopia still is a kickass game, I bought it when it was released and enjoy it to this day (it received barely a word of advertising and slipped off into obscurity).. If you see this game in the bargan bucket, buy it its fantastic (Humourous, sci-fi parodys, Hitchhikers references and hilarious things like the little-known karmagasms of happyness the Sirens take).

  18. Re:the biggest holdup in linux.... on New X Proposal on Freedesktop.org · · Score: 1

    Are you complaining about having the choice between managers? Engineers cant win can they.

    Heres a simple idea, choose one and use it! Although one note is that most distros come pre-configed so that everything uses the one audio manager ect, and desktop users never have to even know whats going on.. if you are changing between them, then be prepared to chose a different output plugin in XMMS

  19. Re:Necessarily Useless on Mac OS X 10.3 Defrags Automatically · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I don't quite get your point.. HFS+ does get fragmented, you can see this with the Norton tools.

  20. No jackass on Digital Art For Your Wall-Mounted TV · · Score: 1

    It's part of the sound system, or perhaps the digital art viewer, but not a bloody gamecube! No. It's just wrong.

  21. Vampires?? on Another Try at Artificial Blood · · Score: 1

    Why would the vampires not be pleased? This is a safe and quick blood-source, which may very well be more stable than the older homocidal methods. Surely on this pro-OSS extra choices would be seen as a good thing?

  22. heh on ElectAura-Net, a 10-Mbit/second Body Network · · Score: 4, Funny

    My strict dad walks into the networked room where I am standing, embracing to get a decent connection
    "LET GO of her immediatly!

    But dad, I was just fingering her, and she was having a look at my root.. please, I was going to show her how to fsck!

  23. Well its still there you cretlin on CNet on WinFS · · Score: 1

    Now you just have an easier way to search it.

  24. Heh on Compiling a List of Funny Anti-Linux FUD? · · Score: 1

    My sig :)

  25. Re:Cheap bike and a good lock on Toys for Transport? · · Score: 1

    What gets me is if they were able to get the lock off in one piece, why would they want to use it to secure their stuff?

    Also, how does one lock up a unicycle??
