  1. which /.? on The New York Times on Hypocrisy of US IP Policies · · Score: 1

    I am not quite clear which /. you are referring to here. As many people often try to make clear in the threads, Slashdot readers are far from an amorhpous blob that all believe and act the same way. Or do you mean the Slashdot Editors who I am sure disagree often enough?

  2. If you need help/want to save these trailers on Sen To, X-Men 2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have put up some direct links on a page here :

  3. Re:Oh No! on LinuXbox Boots · · Score: 1

    you were probably modded down for thinking that mame wasn't already on the xbox, look around for MAME-X

  4. Re:A dialogue I had with Anti-Adblocker on No Pop-up Blocking in Netscape 7.0 · · Score: 1

    It isn't about making you see ads, it is about limiting your access to the site, if the page does send back a confirmation message that the ad has loaded then the rest of the page doesn't load.

  5. Re:Not just "under god" on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    I always had the option of not saying it, I did though. I don't think I would have had any problems if I didn't want to say it, but I had some pretty cool teachers.

  6. so it isn't possible... on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    that this album just isn't as good as the last one? or the novelty has worn off his style?

  7. Re:Someone should tell Matt... on Matt Groening on Futurama, Simpsons and Fox · · Score: 1

    The Willy Wonka Widescreen DVD petition when Warner was only going to put out a pan & scam version of the 25th anniversary DVD..

  8. Re:Doesn't the snow get worn out? on Perpetual Skislope · · Score: 1

    well done, my quotation from the article obviously shows I didn't read it, you got me!

    The issue I thought wadetemp was referring to was the grooves in the snow, and a system being in place groom it. that is primarily what I was referring to by refreshing. Generating new snow is what you bit on.

    If your going to be so caustic about my response to a question you should be a little more careful of what you cut and paste from the website.
    When you take someone to task about researching, make sure you've done yours.

    "Twin Chamber Snow Chamber for non-stop snowmaking"

    oops.

  9. Re:Doesn't the snow get worn out? on Perpetual Skislope · · Score: 1

    refreshing the surface of the snow would have to be a requirement of the setup, at the top of the hill you would have to have some sort of filtration system stopping foriegn matter to enter the working system, shoes, poles, skis, small children etc, that would have an effect on the surface of the snow, plus its mentioned that the snow has a fixed depth of 8 inches, something has to regulate that, so at the bottom of the hill something must be regulating the height of that snow, so its fair to say that the snow is being smoothed as it exits the refreshing area. (I don't think they bothered to impliment this on the little model they built, definately not in the videos)

    granted the snow will be being churned up by the skiiers in front of you (as in any ski field) but your always skiing into newer snow as you get down (the info is a little vague but it sounds that only at the highest speed setting would you be able to ski in place, rather than skiing down the hill?)

  10. Re:Go mame.dk on Chilling Effects Cease & Desist Clearinghouse · · Score: 1

    its fishy because no one C&D would cause them to take all the roms offline

  11. Re:Doesn't the snow get worn out? on Perpetual Skislope · · Score: 1

    did you read the article?

    "As the slope moves down on the non-skiing side of the incline, a "cold chamber" kept at minus 15 C generates fresh snow using the conventional "snow guns" used on ordinary artificial slopes."

    half the track is constantly being refreshed.

  12. Re:Just what i need on Foot-Powered Laptop · · Score: 1

    and the reason you wouldn't alternate legs is?

  13. Re:There's something to be said for *grain* on Lack of Digital Screens for Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    really?

    'I love analog because of all the errors & noise it adds to the picture'?

    a digital format allows the final copy to look like the first copy and director can make that copy look exactly how he wants it.

    If they want the grain, dust, and hair to be part of the final product they can add it.

  14. Bootleg Mp3s? on Publius · · Score: 1

    Bootleg Mp3s are fine

    its the studio recordings they don't want you trading

  15. Re:Free registration required? I think not.. on The Times' Crystal Ball, Set To 2010 · · Score: 1

    you think they would get away with posting direct links? of course they would know about the trick, they don't want to piss off the NYtimes tho,...
