  1. Download link? on Another New Serenity Trailer · · Score: 1

    Anyone got a downloadable link?

  2. Slashdotted on Homebuilt 19" Mini-ITX Server Rack · · Score: 3, Funny

    4 comments and already crawling. Guess we've melted a few of those hard drives then.

  3. Bloody typical! on Apple Updates iPod · · Score: 0

    Oh my fucking God! Fuck you Apple!

    I just spent £99 on a flash-based MP3 player yesterday that works with Linux and plays OGG, but I would've well bought an iPod mini for £139 and put up with the half-assed support and converting MP3s...

    Bloody typical! This is why I'm refusing to buy a Mini Mac until after Tiger is released (and hopefully, they'll update the hardware around that time too!)

  4. Licensing? on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought the content on Wikipedia was licensed under a free, open license? How can Google "revoke" that to do this?

  5. Windows only, nothing to do with KDE on Gecko-based K-Meleon 0.9 browser Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    The K has nothing to do with KDE since it's Windows only.

  6. Re:Apparently these folks didn't see on Wireless Power Recharging Nears Fruition · · Score: 1

    Oh my God! I've been trying to find out the name of this film for years, and then here I come across it on Slashdot! Awesome, thanks!

  7. Re:Sorry I poked your eye out.... on Samsung Launches 3D Movement Recognition Phone · · Score: 1

    Well, phoning your girlfriend is hardly gonna be a problem if you post on /.

  8. Sky+? on SBC Builds A TiVo Rival · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One thing I never hear mentioned is the state of play in the UK. Is the TiVo here or coming here at all? What about this one? (Didn't RTFA, getting ready for work...)

    How does the TiVo service compare with the Sky+ service we can get over here that appears to allow the same features?

  9. Re:It *IS* available in Europe... on Using The Gyration Media Center Remote With Linux · · Score: 1

    Erm, nevermind.

    I should RTFA.

  10. It *IS* available in Europe... on Using The Gyration Media Center Remote With Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look here.

    We use these all the time at work (a UK high school) for use with the interactive whiteboards. Very cool devices, good range, the 3D use takes a bit of getting used too and works well - but the teachers can always use the pens on the whiteboard.

    The mice charge up in a cradle and the keyboards take 4xAAA (or AA?) batteries that last for months.

    Dead easy to setup too... No drivers needed so I'm pretty sure Linux support should work (haven't had a chance to sneak a set off-site yet and try it ;). Just plug the reciever into a USB port, plonk it in plain view, get the keyboard and mice talking to each other by pushing a few buttons and you're off.

    £80 for keyboard+mouse from Dabs. Nice piece of kit, no doubt about it.

  11. Re:Best part... on Homemade Hypercube Case · · Score: 2, Funny

    I really don't see how you can say that from that angle. I mean alright, there's the cleavage, but what if she's horribly disfigured or something on the right side of her face?

    (Ten minutes later...)

    I was searching for an artical I read somewhere about a porn star that regularly features on some TGPs. She's got a club foot that she hides pretty well most of the time. Sadly, I've found more free porn and must go now...

  12. Official my arse... on Comair System Crashes; Passengers Stranded · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sounds like my Mother wrote the official statement. A techy would never report something in that way.

    Besides, it's pretty obvious their OS wasn't digitally signed. :p

  13. Re:Notice! Server Maintenence Window! on Planeshift Enters Open Testing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, because they saw this /. post and thought downtime would be better than a server on fire in a datacenter...

  14. Yes, but on U.S. World's Foremost Spam Nation In 2004 · · Score: 1

    Are these emails digitally signed?

  15. That's all well and good, but... on U.S. World's Foremost Spam Nation In 2004 · · Score: 1

    It's pretty obviously really.

    I mean, all the spammers living in the US have less distance to go to get Redmond to digitally sign their emails.

  16. Re:Yes, but the question is, on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    Jump on the bandwagon?

    Mate, I'm *driving* the bandwagon. :)

  17. That's all well and good but on Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle Open in Japan · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not watching it if it's not digitally signed.

  18. That's all well and good but on Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter Reviewed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Are the drivers for it digitally signed?

  19. It's pretty obvious really... on Following up on Torrent Shutdowns · · Score: 3, Funny

    They weren't digitally signed.

  20. Yes, but the question is, on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it digitally signed?

  21. Yes, but on Some Ways To Avoid Spam On Gmail · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is apg digitally signed?

  22. Re:The guy is overplaying his hand on Open Letter to a Digital World · · Score: 1

    ActiveState Python is what you need on server boxes for quick jobs like that, never failed me yet on the 8 Server 2003 systems at work. (Soon to be looking at migrating to Linux/Samba, however.)

    Don't forget Cygwin either. Very useful piece of kit, especially considering the state of the command prompt...

  23. Concise, clear, elegant... on Trillian 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Is there Mac or Linux support?
    No.


    Fair enough.

  24. Re:Google Suggest just isn't very useful on Google Suggest Dissected · · Score: 1

    Err, I fail to understand how this causes problems?

    I mean, if you're searching for something specific, how is Google suggest going to help you?

  25. No good... on Google Suggest · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmmm....

    p -> paris hilton
    po -> poems
    por -> porsche

    I'd say it's pretty obvious what I intend to search for. This thing is utterly useless. (Although, in it's favour, I must say the Paris Hilton first link was pretty good.) :)
