  1. just won't use on Who Will Google Buy Next? · · Score: 1

    orkut, if you a dwarf, elf, halfling, or man of gondor?

  2. not poetry on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 1

    I'd rather listen to Vogon poetry than have to sit through one of those formulaic pieces of Disney crap.

    My wife has given up asking, she knows what the answer is.

    Even I enjoyed Monsters Inc etc. though, which I think, says a lot coming from someone who watched Hammer House of Horror at 8 rather than Mickey and Donald.

  3. Re:Put Linux On It on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

    agreed, 8, 9 for Mandrake has done a great job with these, straight away, no problem

    Superman
    Wonder Woman
    Green Lantern
    The Flash
    Hawkman/girl

    hmm, maybe the justice league is radiation prejudiced ;-)

  5. Re:So what do /.ers think is good? on iTunes More Popular Than Most P2P Sites · · Score: 0

    Yeah, be interesting to see what they would all say (the Clash) about downloads etc., (if that was still possible :( )

  6. Not google on iTunes More Popular Than Most P2P Sites · · Score: 0

    so a pleasant change?

    Looked at them the other day, seems pretty cool to me!

    Now if they could hook up to irateradio etc? :)

    I reckon Underdog could thrown in a few boards and lawyers with Simon Bar Sinister? :)

  10. one musician's view on The Other Side of BitTorrent · · Score: 0
  11. not trying very hard on The Other Side of BitTorrent · · Score: 0

    or not looking at the right places?

    been playing with irateradio, apparently has around 50K songs - all different styles. It feeds you things based on what you rate other songs.

    This is the distribution I have so far

    (rating of either get rid of, or 1 to 4 stars)

    get rid of 262
    1 star 72
    2 star 71
    3 star 26
    4 star 6

    so 60% not interesting at all, given you are throwing out multiple music genres you don't like that is going to be high (and higher to start with)

    but if presuming you could select genres (approx the 1 star or higher songs), more like radio, then have over half worth listening to again (which is what I called 1 star songs - program called them yawn - got over half you'd listen to again.

    Far from 'shit' like I might hear if I turn on the girlie pop station.

    In most cases, as people have said here, getting a record contract means you will end up OWING money with no rights.

  12. no Romans on HHS Signs Major Linux Deal With Novell · · Score: 0

    I always find it is good to propitiate Fortuna, actually!

  13. Re:yay on AOL Open Sourcing Audio & Video Technology · · Score: 0

    yeah, and the Scandinavians are all teetotalers

    and the Czechs

    and the Irish someone said have the odd beer?

  14. Vector good on Find Linux Torrents Quickly · · Score: 0

    I agree, ran very nicely on a partition on a 64MB/400Mhz machine (Standard, not SOHO version) a while back.

  15. Bolts from the blue? on 60% Of U.S. Believe Life Exists On Other Planets · · Score: 0

    Alien Death Ray kills television executives

    hah

    opposition of current oil manufacturing that appears to also be scum :)

  17. run rabbit? on Browser Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 0

    right, if firefox dominates, gets targeted and has security problems 467 problems from Sunday, people would start looking at the new Icerabbit browser, to run away from all these problems, I am sure?

  18. some publishers do on Using Computer Stores to Spread Open Source? · · Score: 0

    I know there pretty much aren't newsagents in da yankeeland, but you definitely get those small magazines in newsagents that have repackaged free software as 'the best 500 free programs' or that sort of thing, and sell them.

    Of course, if you are a publisher, easier to put them in a nice package, but it certainly does happen here.

  19. not any more on Indian Government Keen on Open Source · · Score: 0

    Newspapers USED to pay proof readers, fact checkers, etc.

    Fairly clear that nowhere near as much of this happens now.

  20. strange on iPod to Podcast Sirius Satellite Radio Content? · · Score: 0

    dogs generally don't like Apples?

  21. Re:Visa/MC Debit Is Safe on Dealing with Internet Credit Card Fraud? · · Score: 0

    as far as signing cards goes, was my experience they barely ever bothered to check signatures in the USA for credit cards, whereas it is pretty much done all the time in Australia, at least cursorily

    has that changed?

  22. Re:Awesome... well.... not very on Chat Online with Cordless Phone · · Score: 0

    Yeah, its hard to order kids online!

  23. private only :- on Citywide Fiber Project Challenges and Goals · · Score: 0


    so you could get this situation

    not many Libertarians, not worth a private company running cable to them, similar to rural Utah?

    or like me, you could have lived in one of the wealthiest and oldest suburbs in one of the 100 biggest cities in the world and have no cable, no DSL, no satellite etc - pretty sad market failure in these situations, would have been nice to have an alternative there
