  1. 24 hours of symphony 9 on BBC Offers Beethoven Symphonies for Download · · Score: 1
    For those of you who can't have enough of Beethoven, or are just slow in listening to music, there is a 24 hour version of the 9th symphony.

    It can be found here.

  2. Re:Torrent with all the symphonies on BBC Offers Beethoven Symphonies for Download · · Score: 2, Funny

    For those of you bold enough to leave the computer screen for a while, there probably is a local CD store near you where you can buy the whole set of beethoven symphonies.

  3. Re:Classic n00b question... on BBC Offers Beethoven Symphonies for Download · · Score: 1

    Well, that is of course a matter of opinion. I for once, like the sonatas more than the symphonies. By the way, you should also listen to the Beethoven piano concertos, they are very good.

  4. Re:Classic n00b question... on BBC Offers Beethoven Symphonies for Download · · Score: 1

    Well, the Moonlight Sonata _is_ the Piano Sonata No.14. Of which the first part is very well known and therefore also performed too often by people that actually are not able to play it.

  5. Cheaper on Earthlink Sponsors Cheap Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    In other news, people are selling massively 8086-based PC's containing enormous 5.25" disks (imagine how much GB of data can fit on this) for only $2.

  6. Cool! on Cell-based Server Blade Demonstrated · · Score: 1

    A computer made from living Cells! Technology advances fast these days!

  7. Star on Sirius in Negotiations With Apple · · Score: 1

    Sirius, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere! Finally ET has landed and contacted Apple. The iPod will be the first product to be sold extraterrestrially!
    Wait and see!

  8. Blank? on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    It seems that this company is not only an expert in blank keyboards, but also in blank websites!

  9. Re:yes! on Television on your Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful
    finally, mobile pr0n !
    Hah, only on Slashdot this comment would be modded Insightful!
  10. Re:Server is down already on Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately you are doing it all wrong... Of course it should be: ...OOOOOOOOO00000000oooooooo00000000OOOOOOOO...

  11. Re:No closer on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but to collect this solar energy you have to build space-based systems, and they are very pricy to build. Fusion on earth, on the other hand, can be done at the surface and produces much more power/area than solar panels in space.

  12. Re:Put it on the Moon. on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1

    Mod parent funny!!! This is the best joke I have heard in the last hour!!!

  13. Obey on NASA Boosts AI For Planetary Rovers · · Score: 1, Funny

    Of course these robots must obey the three laws!

  14. Website also uses this on Projecting Video On Curved Surfaces · · Score: 1

    It seems this websites also projects the images over itself. The text is completely invisible to the reader, because of the perfect projection of the website's images!

  15. Re:I think it's a bit funny.. on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    If you want to get rid of all free websites, use an ad-blocker. The money sites get from ads, is usually used to keep those sites free of charge.

  16. Re:Humans in space is just PR on Going Back to the Moon and Mars · · Score: 1

    Why do you think that the journey to Mars has to happen with one rocket? I could imagine that there is one craft which supports human live and is able to land on the surface of Mars. Another craft then, is also going to Mars and when it arrives, the astronauts can attach that to their capsule and are able to launch from Mars again.

  17. Re:Green Tea on Green Tea Cleans Hard Drive Heads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here in Holland you also get tea served in a glass usually

  20. Student Fights University Over Plagiarism-Detector on Student Fights University Over Plagiarism-Detector · · Score: 1

    Posted by michael on Saturday January 17, @01:16PM from the can't-fight-the-man dept. (Maly) writes "CBC is reporting that MCGill University has lost a fight to have students first turn papers over to an anti-cheating website before handing them in to professors. The student refused to hand in three assignments to the service, received a zero on those assignments, then fought the ruling. The story doesn't have many specifics, such as the venue of the fight (court or some internal university tribunal), but it is an interesting case. As a recent graduate of the social sciences, I find that practice appalling. The student is right to refuse, as he gets no compensation from the service for making money off his original work (assuming it was original!!). Although I don't like the idea, and I'm glad I never went through it, I suppose its analogue would be mandatory drug tests in sports."

  21. Re:Woohoo, it's Java on Explore Mars with Maestro · · Score: 1

    Well, I installed the latest Java Runtime Environment from Sun and downloaded the Java3D, but still it runs sloooooooowly. And it uses over 400 Megabytes of RAM. I am not sure if it is supposed to be that much!

  22. Hall of Fame on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    I think this story will reach it. Seems like all stories about politics and Iraq end up in the hall of fame...

  23. Re:it's been around for a couple of years... on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    So I guess this ability isn't so new as you thought it was. I guess the US is a couple of years behind in this case. I wonder if there was a topic, a few years ago, about this when they introduced in the Netherlands...

  24. SO what's new on Intel Researchers See Moore's Law Becoming Obsolete · · Score: 1

    I think everyone could have figured out that once Moore's law won't work anymore. I wonder how long the Intel researchers worked to figure that out. Maybe that's why their processors are expensive...
