  7. Love the printer display jokes! on Geeky April Fools' Day Prank Roundup · · Score: 1

    If only we had an HP with a large display, I'd set it to
    "It puts the toner
    on its paper or it
    gets the hose again!"

    I just used "OUT OF CHEESE", "MOTHER?", and "FEED KITTEN" on 3. *grin*

    It may be tagged humour, but I see too many signs pointing at our CIO... -.-

  13. Is this Slashdot? on What's the Best Game Console of All Time? · · Score: 1

    The best game console of all time and not one who mentioned breasts?

    Or is that considered software instead of hardware? o.O;

  15. Re:Version? on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    Then I wonder which version of 4 you're running. Zone view hides everything, except for the zones of course.
    Version 3000 still showed all that was not R, C or I in zone view.

  16. Re:Version? on SimCity Source Code Is Now Open · · Score: 1

    The only thing I'm missing from 4 is the government buildings-only view. Now I can't hide the tall buildings to be able to get at that subway or bus station next to it. (and in my layout I have a lot of those)

  18. One reason not to install on 64 bit on Vista SP1 Guides for IT Professionals Released · · Score: 1

    VMware server... I'll have to pick specific updates and avoid those that modify the original unsigned driver loading option.
    I'm not going to use the 32bit version as having 4GiB would waste 1, and because it's for work running Vista is mandatory now. :-/

    Too bad it seems the one hotfix in the list about file copy speed is one that needs a call to customer support.

  19. Not dupe, rerun. on The Afterlife Is Expensive for Digital Movies · · Score: 1

    Looks like /. has also been affected by the screenwriters strike. o.O;

  20. Re:Vista 64 is better then xp 64 on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 1

    I'm running Vista 64 on my laptop at work and so far have had no issues with installing 32 bit apps, so if you use the 64 bit version you don't really have to choose.

    The only problem lies in apps that use device drivers like VMware server. For this I had to disable the certified driver check and prevent 3 updates from installing.
    This mandatory certified drivers crap is really another bad idea.

  21. Re:I went one stage further.. on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 1

    Use nlite to remove unwanted mess and integrate the drivers for your hardware into a new installation cd.
    I haven't used it to integrate drivers myself, but removing useless crud makes a real difference.

  22. Re:Not invading your privacy... on Beamed Sonic Advertising Is Coming · · Score: 1

    It's less like shining a flashlight in your direction and more like shining it directly into your eyes while you walk down the street.

    Exactly my thought when I read "It's just like having a flashlight vs. a light bulb". Shining a light in my eyes is irritating and if you keep on doing it I will make you stop, by force if neccessary, which would either end up destroyed equipment or a (class action) lawsuit.

    Okay, I downloaded it but how do I get it to install? I keep getting errors about what to use to open the .exe with and I can't find any help on installing it on FreeBSD, not even Linux.
