  1. Re:First and foremost, cover your ass. on How Should One Respond to a Network Break In? · · Score: 1

    then use your LART to set things straight.

  2. Re:EDO on What Are Your Favorite Computing Memories? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i must be getting old... my first memory of memory was that on my trusty old zx81. the 16k memory expansion module never sat good in its socket, so the poor thing would reboot whenever i smashed the keys too hard, or when i moved it too wildly while playing defender (or some game like that, at my age the memory fades quickly).

  3. Re:are you stating this from experience? on An Ode To Gaming Music · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No, i read it in a magazine for pro- musicians. They gave this as an advice for aspiring pro's who are trying to get into the business because they love music. It's a (relatively) well-known fact in the business that (large) record companies are only interested in concepts, not bands or music. it's far more profitable for record companies to sell britney spears to children, than trying to discover the next beatles. If you want to sell your music without selling out, you have a far better chance in the game industry because the people over there actually listen to the music itself. you don't have to be a mtv-artist when you write game soundtracks, it's all about the music.

    the expression (something that expresses or communicates) is really (in actual truth or fact) quite (actually; really) common (frequently used).

  5. Re:As a snes gamer on An Ode To Gaming Music · · Score: 4, Insightful

    if you love music, and want to make a decent living as a musician/composer you'll have to go to the games industry. they are looking for good, and sometimes even original music because they know that good music will make the game look better. Record companies are usually not interested in music, they are interested in selling cd's (or mp3's).

  6. Re:Isn't the point on Linux Desktops in New Zealand Schools · · Score: 1

    Just because something contains the word "sex" doesn't make it funny, although some of the posters here might disagree...
    the comparison is actually quite good.

  7. Re:The Web on Meet Web Hypochondriacs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Without citations, how can you really trust anything you read there?
    I'm sorry, but without proper citation, how can I know that your claim is true?

  8. Re:Open doors on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    I recently bought an acer laptop. at home, it immediately connected to an access point calles "mshome". i found this connection too slow, so i changed the speed of the access point from 2 to 11 mb. Still don't know to who it belongs, though.

  9. Re:Networking on Writing Letters for Cold Canvassing (IT) Jobs? · · Score: 1

  10. Re:A little surprise on HHS Signs Major Linux Deal With Novell · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Challenge on Symantec Launches Anti-Spyware Beta · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the fact that symantec wants to earn money by selling products is inherent to them being a company. so what's your point?

  16. Re:Don't lead the pack on Designing a Municipal Wireless Service? · · Score: 3, Informative

    But don't forget the culture shock you might experience when relocating to another country. see http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/03/17 23213 for more on this subject.
    Relocating to a country that has culture can be frightening.
