  1. Is VNC affected? on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 0

    How does this affect remote desktops with VNC? Does this read the frame buffer?

  2. 48% is pretty scarey. on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 0

    Throughout history, improved education has caused a decline in superstitious beliefs. Is the reverse happening in the US?

  3. I'll add a vote for Amarok too on Better Jukebox Software for Bigger Libraries? · · Score: 0

    I used to use Winamp on Windows and then XMMS when I switched to Linux. I always preferred a lightweight interface, something that would play files and keep out of the way.

    I started Amarok by mistake one day and thought I'd take a look anyway. It is now my player of choice and has transformed the way I use my music.

    It's not simply a player but an excellent music organiser. I'm a fan now.

  4. Re:Open source is not a verb on Microsoft to Open Source FoxPro · · Score: 0

    Yes! What's wrong with open sourceify?

  5. Re:what about RAW wounds? on Krita 1.6 — State of the Art · · Score: 0

    For many RAW formats, you can use dcraw to convert to another format. You may need to pipe the output into ImageMagick's convert to get a format you can work with.

    Google's Picasa handles some raw formats, too, but the editing features are basic.

  6. Re:Roundup on Personal Ticket Tracking System for Admins? · · Score: 0

    I'll add my vote for Rounudup. We use it.

    Roundup is good. It is easy to install and very easy to use.

    Your clients can use the web interface or submit problems by email.

    It's very configurable but, if you want to really bend it, it's written in Python so it's hackable.

  7. Has she lost the plot? on Shortlist of Possible ET Addresses · · Score: 0

    Margaret Turnbull is quoted as saying

    "These are places I'd want to live if God were to put our planet around another star,"

    which I can't helping thinking is going to colour her research from the start.

  8. You shouldn't mock this on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 0

    It is the recommended configuration for acceptable graphics performance on Windows Vista.

  9. Why are they suing bitorrent users then? on King Kong vs. Movie Pirates · · Score: 0

    Because it is low effort and low risk but highly visible and a high return on the effort.

    This is the film industry's modus operandi.

    Think sequels.

  10. Re:duh on BBC Views Content Piracy As Wake-Up Call · · Score: 0

    The BBC isn't publicly funded, it is viewer funded. You need a TV license to own a TV in the UK and the license revenue funds the BBC.

    This does raise the question of who is entitled to view BBC productions.

    If I get rid of my TV, I can still watch all the BBC shows I want by downloading them - even though I am no longer a licensee and paying for them.

    However, I won't be able to watch the advertising funded, commercial channels even though I don't need to pay for them.

    It is a bold move by the BBC but to work, it depends on people wanting to watch commercial channels for them to continue to get their funding.

  11. Re:Guise? on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 0

    The cameras were not off. This has now been ascertained for certain.

    However, all the video footage has gone missing.

    Draw your own conclusions.

  12. Re:Acid2 test looks fine in IE7 on Windows Guru Calls For IE7 Boycott · · Score: 0

    Yes, you are doing something wrong.

    My Firefox doesn't have a capital F in the middle.

  13. A scale would be nice. on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 0

    I mean, how big are those flags?

  14. They could do better than that on Double Your Fun with DoubleSight · · Score: 0

    Why not butt the two panels seamlessly to get a proper panoramic display with an unbroken virtual desktop?

    Now, that, I'd buy.

  15. Your rights and freedoms are being thrown away on No Secret Ballot for Military Personnel? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Those of us who take an interest in the state of the US watch in sorrow and some concern at the rate at which your cherished rights and freedoms are being stamped on by this administration. Bush only got in after some very suspicious vote counting. The Republicans aren't too bothered what it takes to keep him there.

  16. Re:Better submission... on Wolfenstein Multiplayer Test 2 Out · · Score: 1

    Should of? Should of?

    Should HAVE.

  17. Re:Whats the point? on Another Cool GPS Project: Degree Confluence · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely right and were scored unfairly.

    Who really gives a shit? It's only an accident that the lines run through any point as apposed to any other anyway.
