  1. Help on New Record Prime Found · · Score: -1

    I thought that all numbers in the form 2^n -1 are prime - If I am correct, what's so new about this number? -Nicolas

  2. Re:Do you have to install this? on Highlighting HL2 Episode One's Commentary Track · · Score: 1

    Yep - You have to install it the same way you installed a bloated OS and a few bloated apps - A word processor (Textor) used to fit on a single 5"1/4 floppy... (darn, I must be old) - However, a Gig is less than $1 today, so, is this really a problem? -DaFrog

  3. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Download From Microsoft Without a WGA Check · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is sad.... Is Slashdot now the safe harbor for wannabe script kiddies who hate M$? Come on, how much you hate M$, they are in for the cash, so respect the fact that they want to check that you paid for what you got - Let me ask you a question; are you the same folks you believe that open source means free (as in beer) software? Going back to play a fully licensed game on a very horrid OS

  4. Errr... on 8 MegaPixel Digital Sensor Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Did they copy the Canon APS-C 8.2 megapixels CMOS sensor?

  5. Re:What do you, a grey gamer, want to play? on What About the Grey Gamers? · · Score: 1

    I am 41, 3 kids, 3 dogs, 1 cat, and one beautiful wife - My games: 1) half life 1, 2 (waiting for the next sequel) 2) GTA - All versions, dabling into MTA 3) Age of Empires (yep, M$ can make bug free products!) In 10 years? The same games and a few more dogs... Why these games: They are all innovative and are not time sucks (so that I can have a life) Cheers

  6. Finally - Please stop complaining! on First Windows Vista Security Update Released · · Score: 1

    Please - M$ is now so security aware that they publish patches BEFORE the product is available! Hmmm.... What is wrong there?

  7. Re:A Closer Look on The Skylab-Area 51 Incident · · Score: 1

    Or just fly to "Area 51"

  8. Hmmm - What about fixed transmissions? on Does OSS Make The FCC Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    If the FCC is gone, who will try to ensure that local loop prices do not go thru the roof once MCI/Verizon and ATT/SBC mergers are finalized?

  9. Re:Realism is overrated on The Future of Videogame Aesthetics · · Score: 1

    Has anybody tried XIII (thirteen) - Great 'cartoonish' game -Nicolas

  10. Re:Spyware BAD! Spam zombies GOOD! on Microsoft Anti-Spyware to Be Free of Charge · · Score: 1

    Time out - If you have not paid for a license (i.e., if you are illegally using the software), why do you expect Microsoft to support you?

  11. What about AZERTY? on New Standard Keyboard · · Score: 1

    You insensitive English speaking clod!

  12. Police/Firefighters/Paramedics on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 2, Funny

    Darn, they will now have to learn how to use these old paper maps and CB's instead of their integrated comm systems...

  13. Best game: XIII on Best Original Games of 2003? · · Score: 1

    Amazing cell-shaded graphics - cool FPS

  14. Why? on Familiar Distribution for iPAQ Handhelds · · Score: 3, Informative

    The majority of folks who buy an iPaq (me included) do it in order to have a portable version of their main PIM database (i.e., Outlook) - I do not see the advantage... I truly believe that we should stick with pretty-GUI stuff for the desk/palmtop (i.e., Windows) and use the stable stuff (i.e., *nix) in the back end. Just my views...

  15. Hmmm - How about outside of the US on Microsoft Prepares Office Lock-in · · Score: 1

    I do not think that the DMCA applies in a lot of other countries... So there will be perfectly legal decoders outside of the US -.... Am I dreaming?
