  1. Re:Dupe! on Burn the CD on Both Sides · · Score: 3, Funny

    Adverts ARE duped, you read the paper, they show dupes of the same companies selling stuff each day.

  2. Re:the Japanese sorted this out ages ago on Cell Phones In The Air? · · Score: 1

    I went to japan recently and I travelled all over Tokyo, I cannot remember any sort of problems with phones while in a crowded subway or on the busy streets. A lot of them have headphones in their heads most of the time anyway.

  3. Re:Seriously... Why would you use this? on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    If all you do is touch up photo's then Photoshop isn't for you as you just pointed out. On your second point, maybe you are right, 50% of them are here, they could be "creative nerds".

    Oh, I'm sorry Mr AC Grammar Nazi, did I not tell you? This is my first day with a Dvorak keyboard.

    Or maybe because it is a professional app which creative pro's can easily afford, as opposed to whiny ass kids who think they need such software. Compare this to a hasselbaad camera which costs over 10 times as much. PS is cheap compared to everything else in its intended market.

  9. Re:Printer Ink on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you suggesting we print all our work now in Dom Perignon because its cheaper? At least we would be more willing to recycle any printing mistakes by just devouring the printed page.

  10. Re:Better not install it yet on Apple Offers Mac OS X 10.3.7 Update · · Score: 1

    10.3 had the ability to wipe clean external firewire drives remember? My mac didn't touch Panther until 10.3.1 because I have a firewire drive.

    It took me 8 hours to get just 1 of the 4 OSX discs installed on my PC....
    Why 4 discs... are you trying to install everything? I can get by on just the one if I just wanted to do a bare minimum install, I highly question your reasons for doing it with all four if you are doing this with a PC. What are you doing it for?

  12. Re:Rehashed to the death, but.... on Tablet Mac Becomes Reality · · Score: 1

    You are not the only one, as a graphic designer, I would love one of these, in the mean time I'll just use a WACOM tablet ;).

  13. Re:People will only change... on Green Energy Almost Cost-Competitive with Fossil Fuels · · Score: 1

    My angle on this was from the corporations perspective, that they provide the current crop of fossil fuels, in due course, they will have to switch to other types because the present source will run out, if they want to remain as an energy business, they would have to switch to a renewable form. But I can see what you are saying, the trouble is, those people need educating and understand what needs to be done.

  14. Corporations will only change... on Green Energy Almost Cost-Competitive with Fossil Fuels · · Score: 1

    when it affects their bottom line, when its worth the expense, they will only switch to renewable energy when renewable energy becomes cheaper than fossil fuels and it costs more to use those fuels. This article is great news towards that eventual shift.

    Did you know a slashdot effect is powered by a biomass of geek intuition?

  16. Amazing on Warzone 2100 Source Liberated · · Score: 5, Interesting


    Some of the levels for this game was brilliant. I particularly like the one where the computer program had found the second base in the urban levels. You had to EVAC the base while at the same time defend it in order to get every last troop out of there. I remember stashing the highest ranking troops in the Airships first and leaving the newbs to defend the base. But the problem was, the newbs were the most advanced troops (if you hadn't already recycled the higher ranking ones). I love playing that level over and over again.
    Amazingly, nobody on Slashdot thought it was even worthy of a mention back early this year when Slashdot featured the greatest RTS of all time. Of course TA was mentioned and Warzone 2100 never was.Those 2 games were simply the best for game playing and sheer fun.
    Lets not forget the small expansion packs for Warzone 2100, they offered even more units, super troops and those huge Red Dragon Tanks which you knew you had won if you had built them. Then there was the small downloadable campaigns which featured even more unique units. Tanks with 2 gun turrets and such, so powerful they took out nearly everything with one or two shots.
    It pissed me right off when I switched to the mac and this game wasn't available. I'd play it again in a heartbeat.

  17. Mozilla style funding? on DVDCCA Sues Maker of Luxury DVD Jukebox · · Score: 1

    Pity we couldn't help the little guy in this case, merely just to help them win and set a precedent, whether or not you like (or afford) their business model.

  18. Re:Read the article guys on Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner · · Score: 1


    I'll agree his use now is not 100% kosher, from what the article states however, he registered it in the year 2000, thats before the ipods inception btw. So he has had other uses for it.
    However, don't get me wrong, I want Apple to own this site and they can do with the clause mentioned in the article. My opinion is merely to give some balance to the whole discussion before all the mac heads scream "rape" on a story which doesn't have all the facts. I use a mac as well btw

    This guy registered "itunes" before Apple did by one whole month and was using the site as well.

  22. Shows what I know on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 2, Interesting


    I thought a majority of traffic lights were already predictive, I thought it was common sense to have this built into the technology when it was first created. If not as mentioned here but at least timed anyway to reflect busy and quiet periods in any given day.
    On a side note, It annoys me as a pedestrian when you press the walk button, the green man comes on only when there is no traffic. Not of course when there is traffic and you need to cross the road in safety, thereby stopping the traffic.
