  1. Re:Yes! on Ars Electronica : Biggest New Media Festival · · Score: 1

    And here's what's left for the next CAVE version: force feedback! When someone shoots a rocket at you, you'll feel like you're blowing up.

  2. Re:Online Help for ecommerce, tech support on Skype VoIP Software & Service Reviewed · · Score: 1

    you're sitting at your computer, looking at something, and needing help.

    And then you have trouble connecting to the 'net and you're about to call your ISP...

  3. Re:But did they try... on Simulating the Whole Universe · · Score: 1

    But it will work if you use a different universe simulator inside the first, and then another copy of the first inside the second, and so on towards infinity... ohh, imagine that. (try running Virtual PC inside VMWare inside VPC... yes, I just had to try :P)

  4. Re:What's that name? on Mozilla's Sunbird Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the *bird name comes before the *fox name... they'll rename it in a few months.

    A L1 cache large enough to hold a DVD's worth of data? GIMME THAT NOW!

  6. Re:Count Me Out on Longhorn to be Released in 2006, Sans WinFS · · Score: 1

    The only "complete rewrite" Microsoft did to Windows was when they created Windows NT 3.1, all windows NT versions has been built on the same code (which was made to be very modular and portable from the beginning), and all DOS-based Windows versions have also been based on the same code (at least since Win 3.1).... granted, there have been a multitude of additions and changes between different versions, but never such a complete rewrite.

  7. Re:Open Source Television? on Mark Pesce: Open Source Television · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to show a beowulf cluster of everything on screen, and film in Soviet Russia.

  8. Re:The time honoured way on Matrix Decision Making · · Score: 1

    No, do like every Joe User does... keep klicking "OK" at every choice you get.

  9. Re:4 CD's on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 1

    no cd for the internationalization Oh, yes... just get the Windows XP MUI pack (or 2000 or 2003, whichever you use), I think all those are 4 CD's each, dunno how much they cost though (or even if they're available for home users)... I think they'll only install on the English version of each OS (and not XP home at all), so you're out of luck if you have any other language.

  10. Re:Screenshots on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 1

    That's why he tells those who can that they're lucky :P

  11. Re:Will this break Windows XP installs too? on Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Funny how I installed SuSE 9.1 to dual boot with WinXP without any hitch whatsoever (except not being able to remember my passwords as I don't boot into it too often :P)

  12. Re:Whoever you use for your free email, thank Goog on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    Oh, damn it, that's about 1/12 of a bit!

  13. Re:If you build it.... on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    Hotmails spam filter is quite good actually... just go to the settings and check the "treat all emails not from my contacts or on my safe list to be treated as spam" option... granted, some legitimate e-mails will get sorted to the spam box, but those are easily moved to the inbox (when you move a mail from spambox to inbox you'll automatically get a question on wether to add the e-mail address to the safe list or your contacts list) Then again, either hotmail has improved their spam filter before the mail even hits my mailbox, or the spammers have removed me from their lists... nowadays I don't get more than 1 or 2 spam mails per day.

  14. Re:competition on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hotmail was actually more tied to MSN Messenger in the beginning than it is now (and has been for a while :P), at least now you can use any e-mail address you wish to instead of just msn.com and hotmail.com

  15. Re:It's not just that the poster is a moron on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    How about grad? (whatever the full name is... IIRC it's 400 in a full circle anyway)

  16. Re:Longetivity! on Fuel Cells for Laptop Computers · · Score: 1

    It lasts for damn-near infinity then, if it rips a hole through the space-time continuum?

  17. Re:Naming for normals? on Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment · · Score: 1

    Then name a good, existing, web browser name other than "Internet Explorer" and "Navigator". (those are the only decently descriptive names I can think of off-hand... the former one is pretty-much single platform today and the second one is too old to be viable today)

  18. Re:Shit, are those American dollars? on 3D Linux Laptop Available · · Score: 1

    Canada is (if I'm not totally mistaken) a part of North America, and thus part of America. The Canadian currency must then also be an American currency. American Dollars would then be dollars used in America, wether it be in the US of A, Canada or any other American country.
