  1. Apple's other entry into PDA market: iPoc on Apple and PalmOne Release iPodTreo · · Score: 1

    You people may be interested in PocketPC Thoughts' coverage of Apple "real" entry into the PDA market, the iPoc.

  2. Re:First the letter i, now this on Google Announces 'Mini' Search Appliance · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Reading Is Life on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    You don't get paid, but if you really want to proofread, consider Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders: http://www.pgdp.net/

  4. Your sig... on Patriot Act Used to Enforce Copyright Law? · · Score: 1

    Gmail DOES support Safari, versions 1.2.1 and newer. They recently added this feature. You do know that Gmail is still in beta, don't you? Don't get mad at them for not having certain features yet.

  5. Re:Gmail invites on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'll take one.

  6. Ask on a forum on CD-ROMs Failing In Win2k & XP Boxes? · · Score: 1

    What resources aside from MSKB and google searching do slashdot readers use for troubleshooting strange problems?

    Try some online forums. I suggest www.tek-tips.com and www.experts-exchange.com. There are usually tons of helpful people on those boards. Just remember to help other users solve their problems as well.

  7. Re:OS's / GUI's for these babies? on Massive Small Form Factor Preview From Computex · · Score: 2, Informative

    You want Myth TV or Freevo.

  8. Re:Three letters that make it not so useful on First Napster 2.0 Review · · Score: 1

    I thought you were going to say D, R, and M.

  9. Re:Ask Slashdot: cases? on New Nano-ITX 12cm Motherboards · · Score: 1

    I am thinking about the Morex 36xx cases.

    Here's a review: http://www.bigbruin.com/html/morex_3688.htm

    Morex official site: http://www.morexintl.com

  10. Re:The Goal and the Problems on Japan's Proposed 30-Year Robot Program · · Score: 1

    You don't happen to work for Cyberdyne do you???

  11. Sell it on Experts Recommend Keeping Hubble Operational · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Perhaps they should consider selling it to another party. I'm sure there are some companies or non-profit organizations who would be interested and have the resources to take it over.

  12. Re:Just build systems on How Can Techies Give Back? · · Score: 1

    It will keep the kids out of trouble until the feds come busting through the door and busting them for having a sh*t load of pirated/illegal software! Come on, use Linux and some open source or free software. There's quality free stuff out there; check out the Knoppix Linux distribution.

  13. The Sims on Architecture / Home Design Software? · · Score: 1

    A fun alternative would be to use The Sims. It can't do anything that is structurally complex, but you will be able to try out furnature layouts, carpeting, and wallpaper.

  14. Re:Finally on Rio Announces Networked Ogg Vorbis Player · · Score: 2, Informative

    You might be interested in the Linksys Wireless-B Media Adapter. It uses 802.11b to distribute audio and images to your television. It includes a remote control used to control an GUI on your television.

  15. Archos Multimedia on Newest iPod vs. the Nomad Zen NX? · · Score: 1

    I can't believe this product (or any other ones by Archos) aren't being discussed. With the Archos AV models, you can record and play back movies (the AV320 has a 3.8" color screen), listen to the radio, capture and view photos. It can support Compact flash, smartmedia, and memory stick. And, oh yeah, listen and record mp3's. They have 20GB and 40GB models.

    Archos can do much more than the iPod and costs much less. Go check it out people! (archos.com)

  16. First amendment... on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 2, Troll

    If only this damned thing would stop getting in the way of making this country a better and safer place.

  17. Tell MIT to release their Class A on US Shrugs Off World's IP Address Shortage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Tell MIT to give back their Class A, unless they *actually* have 24 million machines over there! There is no way a university needs that many IP addresses. I believe Stanford already gave up theirs because they realized it was unncessary.

  18. Re:i was wondering on 2191.78 Years for the RIAA to Sue Everyone · · Score: 1

    If I download any mp3's of people dropping friends off at the pool, I'm comming after you! For goodness sakes, please stop suggesting this, the P2P networks already have enough junk on them.

  19. Re:Imagine a lab of these... on Lindows Webstation · · Score: 1

    ...Just as long as you can keep people from swiping the CD's!

  20. Re:Send buymusic.com some feedback on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    It's really the record companies that are imposing these restrictions (notice the varying levels of protection by labels). Buymusic.com has to sell their music like this.

  21. Re:I'm waiting for better quality on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    ...but who is going to want to download lossless versions of songs off the internet. I'd say 'no thank you' to downloading those 50MB wavs.

  22. Re:Microsoft centric... on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    Suggested formats for your music products - in addition to Microsoft's proprietary format - would be MP3, Ogg Vorbis, et al.

    They can't use these formats because they don't have DRM... and since you need Windows Media Player 9 to use the files, you can bet all the people who would want to purchase from this site would have IE.

  23. Re:Let's see, 1/8" stereo cable from out to in, .. on Buy.Com Debuts Music Download Site · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if I was going to obtain music illegally, I would just rather 'steal' it than the method you describe. Both methods are copyright infringement, but Kazaa is cheaper, easier and faster.

  24. Ok, let's get this over with... on Sony's New Vaio PCG-TR1A: 12" Powerbook Killer? · · Score: 1

    1. They must have been running their web server on one of these! 2. Imagine a beowolf cluster of these babies!

  25. Re:you asked for it... on Backscatter X-Rays Coming to Airports · · Score: 1

    Come on... you've already posted this!!! Although it is funny :)
