  1. Re:So many devices on The Ultimate Nintendo Console · · Score: 1

    Who actually owns so many Nintendo consoles?

    Me! I have three NES, two SNES and a GC. Actually I've got a lot of NES because all my games were sold with the consoles.

  2. Re:The end of mailing lists? on Attention Bonds Gain Momentum · · Score: 1

    To me, it's still a stupid solution because there's money involved in a problem that could be solved with free (no money) and open-source solutions.

  3. Re:The end of mailing lists? on Attention Bonds Gain Momentum · · Score: 1

    You will put the sender in your whitelist. But if you're not honest, you subscribe to a hundred mailing lists (with a small Perl script, that should be easy to do), you don't put anyone in your white list and you keep all the cash. This solution won't work.

  4. Re:Wow! It's a wonder Doom went anywhere... on History Of Doom Movie Debuts · · Score: 2, Informative

    I wouldn't say jaw-dropping. It was great but there already was a few games with some kind of photo-realism inside. It also had a huge success because you could had hours of fun discovering the maps and shooting aliens. There wasn't a lot of FPS when it came out, and the previous game (Wolfenstein) had a relatively small success as a shareware (only in the geeks world).

  5. Re:Not sure how they could do it on Japan Considers Taxing of WiFi · · Score: 1

    When I was a n00b, I've been playing by linking 3 computers just for the fun: I didn't knew what an ISP was and I didn't needed it. I just gave my PCs random IPs like 192.168.0.42 and it worked. Your ISP doesn't need to know what your network looks like (Mac/PC, Ethernet/Wireless). And for the billing process, I would never give any details to anyone, ever.

  6. Re:30 metres? on Cheap Cell-Phone Detector · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you want an exact conversion, 30 metres is equal to 3000 centimetres ;)

  7. Re:Already have one on Cheap Cell-Phone Detector · · Score: 1

    The sound is more like a tu tu-lu, tu tu-lu but it was not my problem: I never had this kind of sound without a call. I would be freaked out if my cell phone was calling home like yours every 10 minutes. Of course it could be explained by your dead zones with the phone trying to amplify its signal, thus producing the magical music.

  8. Re:At no cost? on Microsoft Expands Access to Windows Source Code · · Score: 1

    Seriously, can we all stop saying your eyes will burn if you look at MS' source code? If you're a decent coder, Windows' code won't taint your coding skills. I have looked at some VBs scripts once and I haven't been reduced magically to a script kiddie. I would look at MS' code once for the fun of it if I could do it, but I really doubt it would mean the end of my career... We're not so stupid as to copy/paste everything we see on the internet, we have brains and we use it, please.

  9. Re:I hope to be a linux using manager someday on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine told me about black metal musics remixed into classical, you should try that.

  10. College homework on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    When I'm really late for a college project, I listen to black metal at full power. It helps you to stay concentrated.
    More seriously, all the gurus I know don't restrict themselves to one kind of music. Well, for Microsoft pros, Britney could be an explaination to all the problems...

  11. Re:What's the point? on 3D Mouse · · Score: 1, Funny

    The 80s are back! Does that mean I can write my source code with red and blue glasses?

  12. Re:COOOOL on Build Your Own Electric Etch-A-Sketch · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Worst. Comment. Ever.

  13. Re:Has anyone else registered? on North Korea Opens Official Website · · Score: 4, Funny

    This webmail address is good for us: the NSA won't be able to read our e-mails anymore if it's located in North Korea!

  14. Re:Well shit. on BitTorrent Beats Kazaa In Traffic Numbers · · Score: 1

    [OT]: I still don't understand why they wrote Freenet in Java: I launched it once, its RAM usage kept increasing until it crashed... I don't think anyone will use it seriously with such requirements.

  15. Re:It would be interesting... on BitTorrent Beats Kazaa In Traffic Numbers · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't know the difference between Kazaa and BT, but BT's use has greatly increased with the ability to download japanese anime, so I'd say the legitimate traffic is still low. The good traffic can only come from Linux ISOs shared on the net.

  16. Re:How can they accurately measure it? on BitTorrent Beats Kazaa In Traffic Numbers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Everything is explained in the documentation if you ever need to write your own client (or alternatively, you could look at the Python source code which is very interesting for all the lazy CS students on holiday like me ;)

  17. Re:we've already ditched the CDs on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    If you don't need your DVDs anymore, can you give them to me? And what would happen to your files if you caught a virus? (I could still rely on my plastic stuff).

  18. Re:intangible: airline seats and japanese children on Hacking the RFID Network · · Score: 1

    They destroyed most of their culture (well I'd say half of it), but it's still on the safest country in the world (if you don't fuck with the yakuza). That's why I don't understand their behaviour. It's maybe because all the parental scheme has disappeared (the father never at home for example).

  19. Re:? for the experts... on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 1

    The Quick BASIC version of Gorillas was in color (I still have the source if you want ;)

  20. Re:Artists Against 419 on 419 Scammer Gets Scammed · · Score: 3, Informative

    This site has already been shown on /. before.

  21. Re:Holy Church of Fish, Bread and Wine on 419 Scammer Gets Scammed · · Score: 1

    I may be redundant, but at Scam o Rama, you have a few stories (the red links) where scammers are baited and scammed (one baiter has won $100, and another story shows you pictures of a sexy male in female undies)

  22. Re:Necessary? on CeCILL: La Licence Francaise Du Logiciel Libre · · Score: 1

    Actually, there's a law to translate instruction manuals in french (but I don't know about contracts).

  23. Re:I suspect... on CeCILL: La Licence Francaise Du Logiciel Libre · · Score: 2, Funny

    In France, stupid people hate the USA for two reasons: fat people and rich people. Making fun of fat people (and McDonalds) is easy, and hating rich people is easy when you're poor. But there was a time (not so long ago) when americans were respected for their successful version of capitalism.

    As for us, GPL nerds, we don't care about the USA because we're all some kind of techno hippies that love to share software, there's not even a religious barrier.

    But don't be scared if a french guy is insulting an american, we've been doing this for years against canadians, belgians and swiss. Forget stupid people...

  24. Re:its BLACK AND WHITE! on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 1

    No, you have a have a color screen for $100. What I find strange is their interface software: it's not the OS, it's some kind of program you buy. But I agree that if I would buy one (with full color and 512Mo of memory) for $200. Instead, all the standard options triple the price.

  25. Re:New Gamecube? on PlayStation 3 To Debut at E3 2005 · · Score: 1

    I saw today that Nintendo released all their old vintage games from the NES on the Game Boy Advance (pathetic). I can tell you what you will see on this Nintendo DS: all the N64 and Game Cube games (again) for a higher price...
