  1. Re:It will be interesting on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 1

    Could you go into more detail on this please? I'm on 56k and already started to DL the ISOs for mandrake.

    Yes 56k, I know.. I want off Windows that bad :P

  2. Re:It will be interesting on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 1

    my machine is 2 months old. I'm running windows 98 because I refused to buy another version of windows when I planned to move to Linux and HL2 ran on 98. :)

  3. Re:It will be interesting on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I'm going from Windows 98 to Mandrake Linux, any tips for people doing so? You're saying people should get out of the MS bubble so lets see what advice you got for us :)

  4. Fantastic on Microsoft Releases Malicious Software Removal Tool · · Score: 1

    It'll start removing "unsigned software" because it's not safe right? I remember that article and hence why I'm switching to Mandrake in a couple of weeks time.

    Thanks for pushing me away from Windows, MS! I'll remember to pay you back some day.

  5. Fantastic on EU Parliament Demands Fresh Start for Patent Directive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They will get rid of one problem and add another. All we need. Theres no single way to make a patent law which can't be abused by large companies, we live in a world which leans in moneys favour, they have it, we don't.

    Good game, we lost see you next round.. erm wait sorry someone patented rounds, we can't use that either.

  6. can I pick backwards writing? on Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay · · Score: 1

    Can I buy it and get him to write "I sold out!" backwards on his forehead?

  7. Unfair on MS AntiSpyware vs Ad-Aware vs. SpyBot · · Score: 1

    Who here only uses 1 or the other of spybot and adaware? Most people know adaware and spybot pick up different things. Hence putting them together VS Microsoft would be a better judge.

  8. Re:They need a cartoon ... on AMD Plants Turion Line of Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    and I guess the main villian will be a G5.

    "A HA! I'am an artistic villian! I shall paint this town.. NEON PINK!"
    "OH NO YOU WON'T! WE COPYRIGHTED PINK TWO YEARS AGO! YOU HAVE TO BUY US BIG CARS AND LET US HOLD THE MONOPOLY IN THE MARKET FOREVER NOW G5!"
    "Curses.. where my open source pink?"

    Of course this will then air on Mtv, confuse the fanbase and be put back on Nick Jr. for a couple of weeks where it'll become cult among kids of geeks.. 3 of them who relised if they gave up Slashdot they could get laid. :)

  9. And..? on Sims 2 Hacks Spread Like Viruses · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What's the difference between watching your little Sims goto a coffee machine over and over, and watching them walk up to something else 20 over and over.

    I've never seen the fun in Sims (yes I know it's a god game, but it's very very small scale). I just can't see a huge difference between this and well.. not this..

  10. Erm.. on PSP North American Launch Date · · Score: 2, Informative

    I thought we'd already heard how the PSP is poorly made, ha sno battery life and we shouldn't touch it incase it falls apart/gets scratched.

    Seems we may as well wait for the PSportable in a couple of years fine and hopefully they will have fixed these problems.

  11. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! on New DRM Scheme To Make Current DVD Players Obsolete · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is never going to happen, no one is going to go and buy a new DVD player for some new crappy wannabe-standard. They'll try it and fail, next please!

  12. Not a good thing on LiveJournal Buyout Rumor · · Score: 1

    Even though it is used mostly by whining 12 year olds complaining noone thinks they are cute. The system it's self is very useable and pretty advanced. It's always going to be known as "The whiney blog site", but the simpleness of the place (and yet still powerfully customizable) makes it worth keeping around, if only to see what comes out of it in the future.

  13. Tires? on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 1

    Surely somethings must be about done for now. Tires on a car don't last a year on a smooth road for example. Did Nasa have anything prepared (like the tires are good for X miles or the cameras are good for Y shots), for this kind of thing?

  14. Re:Aint it incorrect.. on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 1

    is it 1/3? I haven't checked into it.. I perfer the 1/7 scale ones Bandai make.

    It doesn't seem "Hyper" to me. It just seems to be normal Zeta. Maybe I'm missing some minor detail?

    Now where's the hyper mega launcher and the Hyaku shiki to go with it?

  15. OBEs mean nothing on Sir Peter Molyneux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OBE is a joke these days, to the point where people turn them down. Once they ment something but now they get handed out for next to nothing. Everyone in the country knows this and it gets 10 minutes on the news once a year at most.

  16. Re:Aint it incorrect.. on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 1

    A gundam is large robot from the series (Theres about 15 series), Mobile suit Gundam. It's extremely popular in Japan and usually refered to as "the star trek of Japan". Google it or goto mahq.net and look at some of the stuff.

  17. Re:How long.. on Indoor Tropical Island · · Score: 1

    I watched a couple of documentries on the subject... and yes there are men who goto nudist camps and hang/film (yes film) the children... you can LEGALLY buy these movies..

  18. How long.. on Indoor Tropical Island · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Untill the nudist version? Surely this would be the simplest option and stop the retards going "I SAW SOME GUY NUDE ON THE BEACH PAST THAT SIGN SAYING NODISTS! I WILL SUED THE CITY FOR IT!".

    It would be a safe (As in child molesters can't get in) and private (yet still free and among nature). It seems the perfect solution to a problem we don't even have (sort of..).

  19. http://www.idontfear.com/ on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 3, Funny

    Okay lads, this guy is asking for it! With a URL like http://www.idontfear.com/ , surely he's mocking the slashdot effect. Bring out all your Amigas and C64s and we'll have his server linched by dawn!

  20. Aint it incorrect.. on Revenge of the Sith Pics Leaked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Personally after the HHGG (Zaphod's second head is up his nose) and Zeta Gundam (A real Gundam is being made for a movie! Here's some pictures which are infact a 1/2 scale Gundam model been around for 10 years!), incidents. I think I'll hold off on any "leaked" or "hot new news" untill it's been comfirmed by a source I trust.

  21. Be honest on The Care and Feeding of Open Source Software · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why not just be honest about what OSS is? Its the Star trek ideals in software form. I scratch your back, you scratch mine and we improve the world (Universe).

    Theres no need to explain it as anything more then that to non-geeks.

  22. e-mail on Internet Use Cuts Socializing Time · · Score: 1

    Is e-mail not also a way to communicate hence being social?

  23. hmm on New Trojan Threatens Windows XP SP 2 · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't MS just be better off writing a new browser instead of wasting all this time trying to fix IE? Surely they relise this..

  24. Wonderful on Ambulances to Get Virtual Doctors On Board · · Score: 2

    In the UK there is a HUGE shortage on doctors and nurses. Having them sitting in a room talking to (fully trained) ambulance crews is all we need.

    I can see a use to this but surely the money would be better spent on getting more doctors, nurses and medics. We already have radio systems which work perfectly fine.

  25. Re:Anyone.. on Top Ten Advances in 2004 · · Score: 1

    yep sorry everyone. I'm a bit tired... I ment to post a correction but oh well.
