  1. Re:Sounds great, but... on Palm OS To Run On Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting
    If you read the link, in one of the q&a's it says:

    Q. Will I be able to upgrade my current Palm Powered . device to Palm OS for Linux? A. We'll know if this is possible once the Palm OS for Linux software development is finished. In general, licensees are reluctant to offer operating system upgrades on any mobile platform because they don't sell well --the people most interested in upgrading their OS also tend to upgrade their hardware as well. So... maybe

  2. Re:Hehe on Unifying GTK & QT Theme Engines · · Score: 1

    Just like to say thanks for this, its a great tool. I'm using 0.2 atm and have found a minor bug - gnomines doesn't display (if it really matters) Again, thanks for this and keep going

  3. Re:Good One on UserLinux Proposal (And Analysis) Now Available · · Score: 1

    I dont think he did - I think it came from a UK talk radio dj called Nick Abbot.

  4. Re:Tuners on Court Upholds FCC's 2007 Deadline For Digital TV · · Score: 1

    Have you seen freeview?!?! A box costs 50-150 and you get 30 channels. Yes, ok, some channels do suck (much like channel 5) but you get so much for so little expense. I like good quality tv and freeview delevers it at cheep price, which is far far better than sky's plan of "lets make more money by shoving as many channels down the pipe as possible. What do you mean 'bandwidth'?. Meh, nevermind just cut the bitrate". Although it does seem that someone has applied sky's plan to digital radio - '128kbps per music station, that should be enough for anyone!'

  5. Re:simple GUI on Mplayer Revisited · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with you. It took me ages but I found two that I like - gxine and kaffeine, do a google and you'll find them. They both do want you want.

  6. Exclusive to their console? on Take-Two Interactive and Sony Sued Over GTA · · Score: 1

    Will Mircosoft also be sued as GTA ran exclusively on a PC in Windows (unless you had a copy of transgamming)? Or will it be ?

  7. Cry me a river? on Microsoft Dislikes Nations Trying to Escape Lock-in · · Score: 1

    Look i know slashdot is meant to be anti-microsoft but there is no need to quote Justin Timberlake! ;)

  8. Hmm.. Regulation on Increased Software Vulnerability, Gov't Regulation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who is going to pay for regulation? I can see goverments passing it between them waiting for someone else to pay. Self regulation by software companies will not work, can you see Microsoft, SCO, Sun and Red Hat sitting down to draft a policy? I can't.

  9. Re:Port It on Razor Blade Games? · · Score: 1

    Damn right, just look what happened when the Sonic Mega Collection got released for the game cube, people just snapped it up ;)

  10. Re:MD5 Hash on RIAA Tracking Songs by MD5 Hashes · · Score: 2, Informative

    As far as I know, you would also have to use the same mp3 encoder as different encoders produce different results, therefore different files/md5sums. I'd also like to throw in flac as that uses a fingerprint, so even if the id3 tag changes, the hash doesn't.

  11. Re:Newbie on Mozilla 1.5 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    you could be a troll, but what the hell, im being nice... if you dont want to use IE and/or OE then Mozilla.org is the best place to start. Good Luck!
