  1. Re:Existing virtual machines? on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    Sounds like it, but watch out... those "text" files may contain patented information...

    You know what I mean :)

    What? You get a GUI? Us poor windows people have to use the CLI (at least as far as I can see). Not that it isn't powerful (I actually like it, but I'm abnormal).

    You're free to say whatever you want, so long as doing so doesn't infringe upon another's right(s).

    Or you could just set it to ignore all incoming formatting, and send your's without any included. You see what they type, they see what you type, no BS (im thinking dark brown on black - i have a dumbass friend who sends that)

    Smilies go out the window as well. Useless.

    There was a new "advertisement" on top of that one right there:

  7. Re:Nuclear vs. gas on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 2, Informative

    A runaway nuclear reactor from a sinking vessel is NOT good at all. That's one of the reasons for SCRAM switches. (also because such runaway reaction would melt a big hole in the keel on the way down)

  8. Re:It's a bad idea to pick up where you left off on Carbon Nanotube Memory on the Way · · Score: 1

    My laptop does that occasionally, but they handily put one of those "reset" pen-buttons on the bottom (like you see on calculators).

    Simply wire that kind of circuit to trip a relay that writes 0s to the ram and you're golden.

  9. Re:TiVo on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they COULD supplement their income with advertising in the online content. Just because you do subscriptions doesn't mean you are barred from advertising profits.

  10. Re:Redbox for keyboards now? on Keyboard Sound Aids Password Cracking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and then the'll just use a notch filter and take the human vocal range out, leaving plenty of low and high freq sounds to play with.

    You know what they say about pride. You know, in the Bible?

  12. Re:Ready for primetime? on Prototype Rollable Paper-like Display Ready Early · · Score: 1

    I could see some kind of calculator device using it. My old TI-83 has a lower resolution and only has 1 level of grey (on and off...) but you can still do plenty with it.

  13. Re:Comparison of terms? on OpenOffice Goes LGPL · · Score: 1

    And OO.o + Windows is just about the same loading time as MS Office + Windows. (turning all the "quick launch" type things - I like to have unused RAM well, unused)

  14. Re:has it got any new features on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1

    I meant winrar instead of the rar format, i knew it supported many formats.

    the formats my version of 7z supports are:
    001
    7z
    arj
    bz2
    cab
    cpio
    deb
    gz
    rar
    rpm
    tar
    z
    zip

    which are mostly formats more common then the ones winrar supports

  15. Re:has it got any new features on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1

    or you could try seven-zip which is decidedly NOT shareware. Not to mention it supports more than RAR.

  16. Re:But... on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just like I could insist on having people hold my desktop machine in thier laps, thus making it a laptop.

    Stupid names, really.

  17. Re:What about politicians .....? on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    never attribute to malice what can adequatley be explained by idiocy.

  18. Re:Allegiance on Quake 3 Source Code to be Released · · Score: 1

    It's also a bitch to get working behind NATs and firewalls. Seriously, why does a client need opened incoming ports?

    Another market crash probably. Hopefully we wake up before that happens though. Too much unnecesary suffering.

    am I going to see a cost reduction in my next phone?
    Probably not.

    And if not, why not?
    Well, just take a look at how the providers rip us off anyways. (I'm looking at charging for individual messages, charging for minutes, charging for roaming*, etc.)

    *
    if your still in a network owned/operated by your provider, why the F do they charge you for going outside of a geographical area?

  23. OK on New Graphics Chip Relies on Reduced Gate Count · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    OK, sounds nice. But how much you want to bet that the phones will still cost the same? At least considering how much providers rip us of as is.

    Besides, most of those extra chips that this new one gets rid of are stupid crap like cameras etc.

  24. Re:So does Slashdot have the same issue? on The Social Impact of Gaming · · Score: 1

    Unless of course we all get legislated back to the stone age.
