  1. Re:On Apple's behalf... on Crack the Pepsi iTunes Promo Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    "How many times have you listened to 99% of those 20, 40, even 100gb+ songs on your hard drive?"

    Well, since that 100 gb song is 71 days long, I don't get too many opportunities to listen to the whole thing. I do, however, enjoy sections of it.

    "Who's the one guy in that picture?" "Let's take a look at the metadata...oh yes...that's Uncle Joe, Aunt Kathleen, the caterer, the photographer, and a Walmart special on GI Joes."

  3. Re:2.6 breaks KVM support on Configuring the 2.6 Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Just check on win2k. Tab on the command line inserts a tab. Now that's useful. Thanks Microsoft.

  4. Re:kernel 2.6 and gentoo 1.4 on Configuring the 2.6 Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    What kind of drive was that? I don't overclock, but I do keep getting that warning, especially when I'm trying to shut down or when I've been using wine.

  5. Screw that... on Dealing With Copyright Online: Porn v. Music · · Score: 2, Funny

    I want to wake up in the morning to find my mailbox up to 25 gigs with trailers for new Hollywood movies!

  6. Re: Quick notes on the install on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1

    Figures. Thanks for the warning. Naturally, I'm in a wireless-only situation. I guess I'll see if anything comes out.

  7. Torrent Anyone? on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1

    Seems that Microsoft is feeling the Slashdot/mydoom effect and this is pretty slow. Anyone have a full version they could share? If not, I'll have one in a few hours.

  8. I've got one on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1

    Right now, I'm lying on my couch with it comfortably on my lap. It's not cold, but I'm certainly not scorching myself. I've also been on battery power for over an hour now and have an hour left. Mind, I have yet to run a 64 bit OS on it (dling the windows version, but it's awfully slow. Is Microsoft getting slashdotted?), but it's quite nice. I also installed fedora core 1 on it and that runs pretty well although there are naturally issues (ethernet, wireless needs NDISwrapper, need to upgrade XFree to recognize video card). For 1300, it's well worth it

  9. Just got one on Linux Centrino Driver Update · · Score: 1

    I bought one yesterday. I'm planning to put fedora on it and try out the NDIS wrapper. I'll let ya'll know how it works. (review, maybe?)

    One of these things is not like the others,
    One of these things just doesn't belong,
    Can you tell which thing is not like the others

  11. Not PATRIOT on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In my neck of the woods, we've recently had some issues with the parts of the DMCA that allows the FBI to seize library records without anyone getting to know. The solution is that most local libraries now purge their records of your books as soon as you return them. I shouldn't think it would be any different for ISPS if they didn't want it to be.

  12. Depends on the dreamer on Sweet Dreams Are Made By This · · Score: 1

    I did lucid dream stuff pretty regularly for 7ish months (not all lucid dreams, but definetly awareness in most of them) but lately, I've been lazy about it and my dreams have gotten to be both vivid and really screwed up. I've been missing dreamsigns all over the place and even dreamt that I'd been shot in my most vulnerable spot (no, not there). So I guess the moral of the story is that everyone dreams differently, which is why I'm a little dubious about this device. Yeah, it would help, but there's more to manipulating dreams than that. On that note, I need to go back to my dream journal.

  13. Sounds great.... on Mix Wi-Fi and Portable Digital Audio, Get Aireo · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...just don't park too close to the neighbors who have the same device and atrocious taste in music!

  14. Paid. Right. on TruSonic Uses MP3.com Catalog As Muzak · · Score: 1

    You get paid 15000*n/t where n=number of times your songs get played, while t is the number of songs they play on all playlists. Oh yeah, and they don't pay you unless they owe you more than $25. Which means that unless your songs make up 1/600 of the songs they play in a month, you get jack.

  15. Re:What are people using Windows Media Player for? on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1

    What good does Windows Media Player provide the end user, that it is taking up 34.43% of the web connections?

    Pr0n.

  16. Re:PS2 + Video Capture, might want to think about on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    For a start I imagine there are some significant latency issues associated with video capture which, while fine for watching telly, might be a bit of a problem for playing games.

    Actually, I frequently use my playstation on my ATI All-in-Wonder 8500 and have no such latency. I would just look out for good deals on capture cards if you're concerned about space. That said, I've never tried this under linux, though now I'm curious. I'll report back.

  17. I can try to help with that.... on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    I'd be happy to try for a rough tranlation if anyone can tell me how to get linux to display kanji in mozilla. The hiragana is fine, but the kanji aren't right. Any help?

  18. Re:PS2 + Linux + MiniDV = home AV on Cross-Platform Video Capture Cards And TV Tuners? · · Score: 1

    Because he doesn't have a TV. The point is to avoid getting one, and instead to have a ps2 and video displayed on his monitor.

  19. Why stop at 10? on Microsoft Researching Anti-Spam Technique · · Score: 1

    This seems most useful when combined with other ideas. For instance, a system with several lines of defense, starting with a whitelist, so known good mail wouldn't hit the rest. Follow that with the 10 second puzzle, and then your choice of spam filters. If the sender passes the 10 second test (ie they're using lots of systems to send, so they don't care) but spam filter says it's spam, give them a puzzle that takes 5 minutes (more?). This serves the purpose that individual users who lose at the whitelist and spam filter can still get their email through, but mass mailers lose a ton of spam sending time.

  20. Re:Morse code, eh? on USB Menorah · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It says "Morse-Code-Message". (Yes, I can do morse code, but I prefer to just read the page that links to that and says what the message is.)

  21. Now you've done it! on X10 Xmas Light Control with Pan and Zoom · · Score: 5, Funny

    You've gone and slashdotted the most common words in the english language! Now what are we going to do?

  22. Not only that on Cheap, Rugged, Multiplayer Gamepads for Linux · · Score: 1

    The ems usb2 works pretty easily under windows, and both under linux and windows, Stepmania will autoconfigure the pads correctly on it. Very reccomended for fellow ddr junkies.

  23. -mm patches? on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    I had heard that certain things that were fixed in the mm tree weren't put in the kernel, at least through test11. Does this mean there will be an upcoming mm patch for the final kernel, or since Andrew Morton is managing, is mm in this?

  24. What about cracking? on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This seems all well and good while the machine is running. What happens when you boot it up or shut it down, though? In the summer, you could be dropping or increasing 130 degrees C. Even if the cooler can normally regulate this, what happens if the machine loses power? (no, I couldn't rtfa, it's slashdotted)
