  1. Re:Come on now... on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Windows has done that at least twice per version.

  2. Re:No, no... on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And the only reason this was modded up and not down was because of the 4 digit user ID.

    Only on Slashdot.

    Well, that is the smart way to do it. If you're gonna star in a show as pathetic as Enterprise is becoming, at least make a heap of (American) cash while you're at it.

  4. Re:I will be more impressed.... on Toshiba Unveils Laptop With Instant-On TV & DVR · · Score: 1

    Use a PowerBook. And the Sleep function. Close the lid, it sleeps. And drains very, very little battery.

    Open the lid, and it's ready to go in literally about 4 seconds. Instant? Not quite, but close enough for me!

  5. It would be nice... on 32,000 "Why I'm Tired" Emails · · Score: 1

    To have the full set of 32000 e-mails somewhere to read. Remove the names, e-mails, etc., and just POST them somewhere. They'd be quite a read, some of them anyways.

    I once wrote a Bash script to infinitly WGET a single page... So maybe if we all do something like that?

    Naw, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade.

    Of course you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list first to point to Debian Unstable.

  10. Re:what about your background? on Video Chat Via Transparent Desktop Overlay · · Score: 1, Informative

    Erm, this refers to computer desktop. And since I don't believe that computer desktops can have books or papers randomly around the screen, I think you have the wrong idea.

  11. Re:How is this possible? on The iPod Gets WiFi, Sort Of · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you either A) use unprotected MP3s or B) use iTunes to rip CDs to AAC format, its all unprotected.

    iTunes simply outputs standard old M4A files, not the copy protected ITMS ones.

    In other words they'll get revenue of about $699 from that plan.

  14. Re:Who Cares About the Browser War? on Browser Wars 2004 · · Score: 1

    As soon as most of the people on the web have broadband, such content will be king.

    You refer to Flash. I DESPISE Flash websites. They are the bane of the internet. Flash animations and websites are annoying, musical (ugh), and make loud annoying repetative sounds. Why doesn't everyone just use simple XHTML and CSS for the layouts, etc? If you do it right, it's 100% cross browser, maybe rendering slightly differently in different browsers, but not badly, just a little different.

    In short, why do people insist on making annoying Flash websites?

  16. Re:Way Too Late. on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1

    I firmly believe Xine is just as good as any of the highest priced DVD players for Windows/Mac.

    Actually, OS X comes with a DVD Player of it's own, so you don't need any high-priced software. It's not fancy, but it works well enough. The only annoyance I find is that the fast forward/rewind is annoying to use, but if you're just watching a movie, it's perfect.

    Also compare that behavior to Windows. Windows Media Player boasts about being able to play DVDs. Then you realize you need commercial software, sold separatly, to use that feature. On Linux you can play DVDs fairly easily (and legally when not in the USA) with Xine, Mplayer, et al. On OS X you get a legal DVD Player coming bundled with the OS. So why is Windows so far behind?

  17. Pointless comment and so, I bring you... on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look closer. The OS column in the history stats has about even "unknown"s and "Linux"s, and one Solaris 8. It's still Linux, just seemingly running a MS server.

    I'm sure we have a few of those somewhere around here.

    Wow, whoever was writing that is smoking something.

    Konqueror, Mozilla, Firefox all have popup blocking. And installing updates is very easy with RedHat/Fedora and Mandrake. And Digital Camera? Mine was plug it in and start Gtkam. They don't even give details on WHAT they were testing this with (what hardware). Some fair comparison.

    I'm going to be using my nice little Sharp Zaurus for movies (once I can actually get them to encode to fit on my little 256 CF card...), and my iPod for music. I use a PowerBook for my main computer, and a Linux desktop for my more... Well, my more developmental system.

    And the iPod works 100% well with the PowerBook, the 20GB is more storage than I'll ever use, and the quality of the iPod (not just the look) is wonderful.

    So I'll pass on this thing...
