  1. Re:But how on Slackware 11 Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    Its OK, Partick had some incompatible hardware.
    Once he had aquired the components he recompiled himself from source and is now read for the next few years.

    In other news, police are looking for the persons responsible for chopping of the wings of a penguin at the local zoo.
    Patrick was in a flap about the whole situation.

  2. go see porn sites on Build a Better Netflix, Win a Million Dollars? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They have decent tech for building similar/recommended alternative pages.
    Especially the newer blogish type pages where theres a gallery and a small selection underneath.

    Not that I would know of course.

  3. Head to Head on Calif. Initiative To Regulate Search Engines? · · Score: 1

    Won't this come head to head with the data retention rules?

    You can either keep the information on the grounds of security or you can remove them on the basis of privacy.

    There is no middle ground.

    If you are not a supermodel with stolen pictures then you are a terrorist.

    Theres a difference between grabbing some boobies and broaching the subject of an unusual lump.

    We do, but its not always practical to give your girlfriend an MOT without a discussion beforehand.

    Oh god, the nightmares had almost stopped.

    Unfortunately beyond the jokes, breast cancer is bad.
    Noone is immune, it knows no boundaries, rich and poor, famous or not it could hit.

    I saw this checkoutmybreasts site recently which apart from featuring nice graphics was very informative.
    (As most of us are blokes it won't affect us directly, but spare a thought for your partners and get them to check)

    Thats nothing new.

  9. I;ve been reading about this all day on Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox · · Score: 1

    And still I have no clue about what I need to do to prevent this without globally "disable javascript" (with noscript)
    It sounds more like a Microsoft recommendation than anything.

    I know some very intelligent people will be looking at the code at present, but a bit more information about possible timescales would be nice.

    Before anyone says go look on mozilla forums, I have been there and the one thread on the subject has the same crap posted here.
    No-one appears to be doing anything about it and that worries me.
    Is it lack of details about the exploits? Is it lack of understanding? It is just a very complex bug being examined in private?

  10. Re:This is very very VERY old news. on The I-Tech Virtual Laser Keyboard · · Score: 4, Funny

    The guy who got one of these in 2003 was arrested whilst using one on a plane to submit the article.
    His computer went into standby at a critical moment and upon his release from gitmo powered up his laptop and allowed the submission to go through.

    Please note that the poster or his dell laptop cannot be located, however there is a strong burning smell coming from his apartment.

    They then saw Baywatch and after analysing the bouncing boobies for a while decided Hoff wasn't the ruler.
    It was a silicone intelligence.

    It would be a shame to send it once and have them miss it.

    This is the problem I have with specific EM signals.
    Once they are gone, thats it.

    I still think the only real way to communicate with outlying civilisations properly will be with supernovas.

  13. Re:Damn on New Data Transmission Record — 14 Tbps · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Each advancement in technology allows the main internet backbone companies to purchase one very expensive fast pipe and share it between all the customers (ISPs) of a country or state.
    These things need to be thousands of times faster than your home connection because each one will carry thousands of times more data.

    Its no good one single person having all that bandwidth if there is nobody else to talk to at that speed.

  15. Re:No. on Is PC World Still Worth the Subscription? · · Score: 1

    100% agreed, even the e-ink type devices cannot compare to a for pennies (or free) newspaper to read on the bus.
    The new might be a couple of hours out of date but its enough of a review to know what happened last night.

    Ontopic, unless there is something specific in a monthly magazine I would avoid it nowadays.
    The world does move faster nowadays.

  16. Re:Why? on Apple iTunes Upsampling Higher Resolution Videos? · · Score: 1

    The only possible reason for this I can see is that the larger higher resolution screens might be there, but the iPod CPU might not be able to correctly upsample whilst also decoding.
    Just a possibility.

  17. What if it was the copyright ppl themselves? on Only a 'Moron' Would Buy YouTube · · Score: 1

    The only people I can see who would really be interested in this would be someone like ClearChannel.
    Low quality public access broadcasting with the already prepared royalty payment scheme (radios pay per play).

    Let people upload whatever they want, if its putting views and people notice its a violation it just gets handled (for 99% of the cases)

  18. Re:Now, just checking on Why Microsoft's Zune Scares Apple to the Core · · Score: 1

    I personally think Apple have the iPod perfect with it recharging from the USB whilst updating and managing the tunes.
    It makes it seemless and leaves you feeling completely untethered.

    There hasn't been a single complaint about my missuses ipod since we got it (well, apart from last night in the Apple store when she saw the new ones..)

  19. Re:I'd welcome WMA on BBC Signs 'Memo of Understanding' With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    What about xvid asd (standard xvid using asd parameters) tv shows which are normally ~350mb per 43 minutes become more like 120mb with practically no loss in quality.
    Watch out for those on your bittorrent searches.

  20. Re:Absolutely no chance of success on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 3, Funny

    If this DOES work, then maybe we can sue slashdot for teaching us how to be nice to our girlfriends.
    I still have OMG ponies! nightmares and occasionally give in to the subliminal niceness urges and buy her some flowers.

    Don't tell the worrymongers, but I hear other space craft (take for instance Voyager - wouldn't work with just solar...) already contain RTGs.

  23. Re:Interesting, but... on 17 Serial ATA Hard Drives Compared · · Score: 1

    I don't see any drives with the retail Vista on them. With the advent of static RAM, you would think that they would think about those.

    Does anyone have detailed stats of the new Microsoft operating system?

  24. Re:These are some tough robots on Mars Rover Reaches Victoria Crater · · Score: 1

    The problem with that method would be the orientation of the panels (which are large and flat like a table top).

    Take a look at something intruiging which occurs when you attempt such a thing on a flat surface.
    I suppose though if you could create a shaped wave to push the dust off it might work.
