  1. Re:Kit TVs on Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Kits that would include a broadcast flag 'chip' that could be mistakenly left out by the user.
    They'd more than likely find a way to make it so that the kit TV wouldn't work without the broadcast flag chip installed.
  2. Re:It's not "MAC"! on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Ah, crap. I got the URL wrong for Media Access Control.

    Here you go:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Access_Control

  3. It's not "MAC"! on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    If you're talking about Apple's computer and/or operating system, it's Mac. "MAC" means "Media Access Control."

  4. It's all fun and games.... on RFID + Dart gun = DartMail! · · Score: 1

    It's all fun and games till someone confuses a noun with a verb! (But, hey, this is Slashdot, and my UID is about 100000 higher than yours, so what do I know?)

  5. Re:Shuffling and randomness on Is the iPod Shuffle Playing Favorites? · · Score: 1
    Second, I see a lot of people saying "I have a 20GB iPod -- and I swear sometimes it just NEVER plays this one song."
    Other than what you said, it could also be this:

    People just don't notice it's being played. This happens to me on set playlists (i.e., not random). I have a pillows MiniDisc with 15 songs on it. The song I normally anticipate is track 14 ("Stalker," if you care). Most of the time, I'll completely miss it when it plays. Why? Some kind of distraction.

    it's made by microsoft so it can't be any good, can it?
    I'll bite.

    The Halo games aren't developed ("made") by Microsoft; they're developed by Bungie Studios . Microsoft publishes the series.

    (Yes, Bungie is owned by MS.)
  12. If Windows 3.0 never happened.... on Linux in a World Where Windows 3.0 Never Happened · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'd like to miss Windows Foghorn Leghorn (commonly known as "Longhorn") altogether, thank you very much.

    there are differences (lack of the original pistol, for example) that do significantly impact how one plays the game

    Your monitor's broken? That's too bad. That must make it even harder to post on Slashdot. (Or read the blurb, for that matter.) =P
