  1. Re:2.0? on Google Begins "Gmail 2.0" Rollout · · Score: 1
    Did you even read the god-damn summary??

    They are calling it "Gmail 2.0" even if Google isn't.
  2. Mod parent UP! on GNOME Foundation Helping OOXML? · · Score: 1

    Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

  3. Re:Embarrassment on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1
    I wanted to pay for it, I really did. The site sucks (on Firefox). Firstly the basket didn't work. (Why use a basket? Basket are used to contain a collection of *different* items. There is only 2 things for sale. A couple of check boxes, no???) Then the basket featured worked, but it requires me to register, email address and mobile number. No sign of a privacy policy or opt out of spam. So I registered with temporary email address and fake data and on the final confirmation screen there's a link to the terms and conditions:

    "By registering with the shop, w.a.s.t.e. products may use your e-mail address to send you Radiohead news, updates, ticket info etc."
    Just as well I used fake data then. So I eventually get payment working (£10) and get a download link. I always use the firefox extension DownThemAll, blindly. DTA does multipart downloading, their server detects this, cancels the download and now I get "Too many downloads error". Super. If this is the kind of innovative music experience I can expect, I'm going back to P2P.
  4. Re:I thought high end meant Xeon? on Intel X38 High End Chipset Launch and Benchmarks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Dell precision workstations

  5. Me? on A Brief History of Slashdot Part 2, Explosions · · Score: 1

    I would have gone to see boobs. But maybe that's just me.

  6. Re:Dunno... on Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug · · Score: 1

    That would be Office 2.7K moron

  7. Re:The law needs to clarify things like this on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 1

    Difference here is that Westinghouse don't benefit, unless they supply your electricity too?

  8. Re:Whoah whoah whoah! on Most Laws Attempting Limits of Violent Videogames Fail · · Score: 1

    Here is the linky. Messed up indeed.

  9. Re:I could believe if I hadn't seen... on Cross-Platform Microsoft · · Score: 1

    It's not Microsoft that is writing the linux platform code AND the code is open source. Big feckin difference.

  10. Re:What I want to know is... on Smartphone Shootout · · Score: 1

    The real wtf is that the safety type is in the query string...

    Hey kids try this, it's fun!

  11. Re:Not blogs, but forums on Blogs Are Eating Tech Media Alive · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thank you. Now I know where to go so that I can remotely discharge my firearms.

  12. Re:Personal review on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to click the "Parent" button...

  13. Re:I am a genius on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1
  14. Re:I am a genius on Matter Discovered Traveling at Near Light Speed · · Score: 1

    Frame of reference... Bullet, assuming no resistance, moves from the gun in direction d at x meters per second. If gun is travelling in direction d at 300,000 meters per second from other frame of reference, then the bullet will appear to be going 300,000 + x meters per second
     
    The speed of light postulate states that that the speed of light should be the same in every frame of reference. That means time dilates. The space ships, while going 70% the speed of light in their frame of reference, will be appear to be a different speed when one observers the other. (I think...)

  15. Re:Is Halo really that great? on Bungie Vs. Miyamoto - Fight! · · Score: 1

    And to this day, many years after Halo 2 was released, nobody else has even come to getting *close* to how well designed the matchmaking is. Gears? Rainbox 6? Ghost Recon? CoD? Nope.

  16. Re:Not buying it on Miguel Plans Silverlight on Mono & Linux by Years End · · Score: 1

    I too appreciate your more balanced objective of technology, the market and it's users.

  17. Re:Wikipedia article on 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    But like the key is in the title... They'll have to delete the discussions about the deletions.

  18. Re:1080p content on 1080p, Human Vision, and Reality · · Score: 1

    They all seem to be 720p....

  19. Re:Good Luck on De Icaza Pleads For Mono/.Net Cooperation · · Score: 1

    Second Life.

  20. Re:Beatport.com on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Good tip too.

    > The catalogue / target market doesn't exactly overlap, I suppose

    A brief search for some tracks I recently purchased on beatport aren't there... but the two combined give good depth. Nice one :)

  21. Re:Beatport.com on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    50+ Euro. (Looks like slashdot doesn't like the euro symbol)

  22. Beatport.com on DRM Free Music is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    If you like the electronic music scene, I highly recommend Beatport.com. Music is DRM free, available as MP3 320kbps or WAV and has the very latest releases. Since I started buying there early last year, I've been spending 50+ a month on tunes. Which is more than I spent on music in *total* in the previous 7 years, if you know what I mean...

  23. Re:Why would we want OpenID? on AOL Now Supports OpenID · · Score: 1

    If you are that scared, just run your own OpenID provider.

  24. Re:Get to the Root of the Problem on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1

    yeah, I'm not getting all this DRM and Vista lark. If none of your content is DRM'd then you're not going to have any problems...

  25. Re:What? on How the Camera Phone Changed the World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I took this photo with my phone last week as I walked to work. Nokia N80, 3mp. The original picture is bigger and sharper than the large one on flickr. As good as most pocket shooters, imho. Night time shots aren't great though.
