  1. Re:Two fingered? on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 1

    Yes, but some people are fundamentally lazy. And teaching your great-grandmother to type at 60wpm may take some doing.

  2. Re:Toss this baby in trash on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 1

    And yet, no-one's asked is it really the keyboards/mice that are the main cause of RSI with computers? I've only seen claims spring up since the birth of the web. Coincidence, no?

  3. Two fingered? on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, it looks as if it would only benefit touch typists, not the masses of two fingered typists out there. As for me, well, my keyboards so close to the edge of my desk I have no space for one. Plus, I wouldn't want to bend my thumbs that far back

  4. Re:Magnetic CDs? on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    Can't be any worse than the number of CDs I've had to fish out from 5 1/2" floppy drives. If it's not going to be backward compatible, change the shape by all means.

  5. Re:Would you trust someone who... on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    With sonicstage jukebox, and the conversion to ATRAC, it didn't make deep inroads. Still, with a microphone makes a useful audio recorder.

  6. Re:No way on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    Let me guess: You then attach all your floppies to a whiteboard with magnets?

  7. Re:so... on Microwires Can Replace The DVD-ROM · · Score: 1

    A slightly more common method: Buy the cheapest Dual-Layer DVD media you can find, and leave it out in the sunlight for a while.

    Anyhow, you'd most likely lose the microwire before you could attempt to read it.

  8. Re:What a great project... on SGI & The IMD4Linux Project? · · Score: 1

    With the release of 6.5.23, there is no kernel for the Indys or Indigo/Indigo 2s and a few other older machines - paerhaps in a few moinths time we could petition SGI to release more hardware docs to the open source OS teams (Debian-Mips, Netbsd/sgimips) working on porting their os's to the older hardware - then IMD4Linux would actually have a use in emulating the desktop on a maintained OS for the classic SGIs.

  9. Perhaps... on Diamond Age Coming Soon · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're also sending hundreds people here to mine the diamonds for them.

  10. Woo.... on Novell Quotes AT&T on Derivative Works · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...It looks like this farce coming ever closer to the end!

  11. Re:Silence the critics! on Moving Net Control From ICANN to Governments? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, ever thought about writing in and complaining? If enough of us did that, we might be able to stop the twit wasting our licence fees on writing rubbish like this.

  12. Re:This is not surprising... on Moving Net Control From ICANN to Governments? · · Score: 1

    In case you didn't know, the guy's referring to the fact that the Hutton report pushed out the top people at the BBC, and that it now looks as if the independance of the BBC is under threat... especially as the report is seen as a whitewash, totally clearing the government of any wrongdoing of it's intelligence in the run up to the iraq war, and not being guilty in any way of causing one of their weapons experts to take his life, even though they revealed his name to the press without telling him first. The BBC took the blame for most of the government's lies, and so this is why its independance is seen to be under threat.

  13. SCO move to BSD on SCO Offline · · Score: 3, Informative

    OpenBSD journal was commenting on how SCO moved their servers to OBSD: http://www.deadly.org/article.php3?sid=20040131082 431
    Not even the might of OpenBSD web servers can stand up to a mass of infected windows boxen - watch out Microsoft, they're coming your way soon!

    All we need is a matching filesystem visualiser then :D

  15. Re:Commander Keen on Neglected Classic Games That Deserve Remakes? · · Score: 1

    There was a gameboy sequel, but it aparrently was a huge letdown - and I can understand why, too, I'd hate squinting at a screen that small, and not being able to use a keyboard :P

  16. Re:ummm on Review Of LinuxWorld 2004 · · Score: 1

    What about the freebies?

  17. Re:Logitech or Microsoft? on Mice In Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, unfortunately, there are no surfaces in space, so you're stuck with a touchpad or trackerball.

  18. Doubleclick may be trying to bypass blockers... on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 1

    ...the programmers who work on popup blocking at AOL/Google/MozillaFirebird'll just work a bit harder and eventually stop their uber-popups from coming through. The era of the pop-up/under/other sort of spawning window is coming to a well-overdue end.

  19. Not the same on Live Action Neon Genesis Evangelion Concept Art · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Kate Rose"
    "Susan Whitnall"

    It's just not the same... and the poor children who are doing this will probably never realise they're filling tohe roles of characters that have been the fantasies of many, many sad, depraived anime otakus out there...

  20. Re:Hello! 1995 is calling. on Control Video Games with a Camera · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the ftp link wasn't working last time I tried. Shame, too, I've got an indy here working as a server.

    Give me your consoles. You can't have console clutter without consoles.

    Optimist. They're going to decide to change the engine the game will use twice and end up in the same place.

  25. Re:It wouldn't have happened anyways. on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 1

    They replaced the maglev tracks in Birmingham and we now have a non-maglev train operating between Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International station which gets there in about one and a half minutes. Also it now looks nicer, but they now have a PA system and a TFT display in there playing really annoying adverts whilst you are being transported.
