  1. Re:Still fine by me on Philips Patents Technology to Force Ad Viewing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That system makes pirated versions more popular if they have been ripped from DVD and had that nonsense removed.

  2. Re:Engineering problem on X-37 Flies but Runs Off Runway · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe it was the wrong aproach angle

    'Not only is this the shortest runway I've ever seen it's also the widest!'

  3. Re:Patent Solution -- 3 year limit on Life or Death for Tivo · · Score: 1

    3 years sounds a good idea.

    By the time the 3 years were up, they'd have to be out with their next idea to stay ahead of the oposition and make the consumers want to buy their new one.

    Would make it better for us too. EG the Tivo & equivelents would have bigger hard disks, record several chanels at once, dump a series to DVDs, make the coffee and take out the trash.

  4. What has a Player to do with Piracy? on Film Studios Sue Samsung Over DVD players · · Score: 1

    This unit is a DVD Player.

    How can they say it causes priacy?

    It does not copy DVDs

    It lets you jump past the messages for 'do not pirate this CD', which is all over the box, and the adverts (adverts have nothing to do with piracy).

    It also lets you play originals from another region. That has nothing to do with copies either.

    How does this unit cause piracy?

  5. Re:Easy on What Do You Want in a Job Website? · · Score: 1

    I have often said to agencies that they should say 'where' and 'how much' in their emails. Its often the quickest filters when reading through them.

  6. Re:If 2. did occur on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    No use of OLEDs on it then. They are living creatures too.

  7. Can't they do this already? on Microsoft To Offer Free Wireless VoIP · · Score: 1

    There are a few wifi enabled phones out there and others landing soon (eg Nokia N91)

    If Scype or any of the others want their foot in the door they need to get their symbian and MobilePC versions out asap. I'll get wifi calls at home or work

  8. Re:I don't get it. on Beware the iPod 'slurping' Employee · · Score: 1

    Everyone keeps saying iPod when any MP3 player with hard disk (and there are many) will do.

  9. Re:I don't get it. on Beware the iPod 'slurping' Employee · · Score: 1

    You can get some CD players that can take DVDs full of music. Burn a music track and the rest with data so you can even give them a blast of music

  10. Why just iPods? on Beware the iPod 'slurping' Employee · · Score: 1

    There are loads of MP3/MP4 players out there. Mine is some unbranded 40G unit thats just as capable of sucking files.

    Cant they just say MP3 Player?

  11. Re:The UK has a minimal fine for no licence plate! on Britain to log all vehicle movement · · Score: 1

    I hear that expanding foam in the slot at the back for ventalation tends to cause them the odd problem.

  12. Startrek quote on Google Urged to Drop Images · · Score: 1

    From the eppisode featuring Tasha Yarr's sister, there was a sign near the reactor saying "you can never at too much water to a reactor"

  13. Honeypot on Terrorists Move to Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    Since they chance sites regularly, cant someone set up a few honeypots to catch them moving to the new sites?

    Redirect their efforts so that instead of blowing something up, they cut an old ladies lawn for her, or clean her windows.

    Or suicide bomb the middle of an empty field. Those scarescrows are a menace to a way of life

  14. Re:Why wait to increase encryption on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    D'oh, I keep forgetting about the default formatting in this place.

  15. Why wait to increase encryption on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    "All this makes you wonder what other supercomputers are out there, not known to the press, and if it's time to increase the size of your private key and strengthen your encryption." Depends if you dont mind someone reading your old messages. Your old ones could be stored on someones Gmail account untill its viable to crack. As long as theres nothing in them you dont mind getting out its not a problem (like that afair you had while your wife was pregnant)

  16. Re:Is it Too Much To Ask on Mozilla Sunbird's First Official Release · · Score: 1

    The real miracle would be getting it to work out when the easter holiday is in Aberdeen. It varies from the rest of the UK and even the officials dont know when it is year to year.

  17. Anything outside America on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    Would like to find one that covers my own area, but the maps on that site dont cover the UK.

  18. Re:Please let it be so. on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    You'd only be able to blink when you look at some porn

  19. Re:Imagine the look on your face on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    Not as bad as in "Theres Something About Mary" I would hope.

    "We got a bleader"

  20. Re:Who needs a transporter ???? on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    The feed tray from the sending "faxmachine" would feed directly into a shreader/mincer. Effectivly duplicating yourself and killing one off.

    I remember a quote about fax machines, where the sender called the receiver saying "When you finish with that document, can you fax it back, its my only copy"

  21. Re:Imagine the spam on Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin · · Score: 1

    "You'll have someones eye out with that"

  22. Futurama Quote... on Burn the CD on Both Sides · · Score: 1

    "And we have a photo finish...and the second horse won by a quantum!"
    "No fair, you changed the results by looking at them!"

  23. Re:msdn.microsoft.com slashdotted? on Microsoft Offers to License the Internet · · Score: 1

    Works fine in netscape for me

  24. Re:But how would ET find us? on Europe's New ET Life Search Programme · · Score: 1

    Just as long as they dont think we are shooting a weapon at them.

    "Hey look zarjaz, someone is pointing a sniper rifle at you, I can see the red dot on your left head"
