  1. more accessible and shareable by a wider audience on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    'more accessible and shareable by a wider audience' This is the problem. Car analogy... Ford sells more F-150s than anything else. Some geeks insist on buying economical compacts. So they redesign the compacts with huge heavy pickup sections to make them more useable by a wider range of customers. Only very few geeks want a compact with a huge pickup section so they all leave for Reddit. Plus I think they wanted 'responsive' but they've given us whitespace. 10 to 1 it's been designed by a Mac user.

  2. Pah! - It's been done before with Christmas Trees on Genetically Modified Plants To Produce Natural Lighting · · Score: 1

    Self-powered Christmas Trees.. http://gmbiotech.com/current.htm

  3. I don't like Radiohead's music on 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album · · Score: 1

    I'm not a fan so I wouldn't have paid for it.. but if I had have downloaded it and loved it what would I do then? I guess download another copy and pay for it. Maybe a few of the 'no pays' did that?

    If I was them I'd be offering the low bitrate for price your own and other downloadable formats at an increasing price.

  4. Re:Seen this happen... on Thieves Using Stolen Credit Cards to Make Donations · · Score: 1

    so they freeze the card.. move onto the next generated card number and have a go at guessing the CVV. All from multiple IP addresses of course. Automate and you'll get a successful transaction and therefore a card number + CCV number every now and then.

  5. Re:Astronomers Spy 288bn Mile Booze Cloud on Astronomers Spy 288bn Mile Booze Cloud · · Score: 1

    after checking the link I discover that it is an article on The Register! But not with that silly headline.

  6. Astronomers Spy 288bn Mile Booze Cloud on Astronomers Spy 288bn Mile Booze Cloud · · Score: 1

    Is this 'The Register' ?

  7. Exactly it! on Net Neutrality or Not? · · Score: 1

    Exactly it! Why do people pay for a connection? Just for the hell of it?

    It's like buying a radio... you buy it to listen to radio stations. You buy an internet connection to access the web. No web, no connections, no telco revenue.

  8. like this.... on Robo-Gecko Climbs Glass · · Score: 1

    http://www.powscience.com/store/actionproducts/cli mbatron.html

    Had one and worked better than that Gecko thing - no cable and no falling off either!

  9. X-Ray company involved... on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    The X-ray company involved is http://www.xtekxray.com/ in case anyone is interested. (Yes I work for them)

  10. MP£$ Exchange Rate on Napster Has Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    http://www.napster.co.uk/ntg.html £15 per month

  13. Re:eddie izzard? - Bill Bailey on Eddie Izzard As ... Doctor Who? · · Score: 1

    Bill Bailey would be great. Kind of a musical, fckwitted version of Tom Baker.

  14. Re:Macromedia and Flash on Tim O'Reilly Interview · · Score: 1

    Even when you get it running it's AWFUL!! Much slower and more difficult to navigate then the old site. I want my right click menu!

  17. Re:What's the reaction? Codecs! on Windows Media Format Could Hit Linux-Based Devices · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that MS Media player connects to MS to download codecs.

    If MS don't want you to have the codec then you don't get the codec! (Well easily anyway - which is 99% of users in trouble)
