  1. Re:Why rag on Gmail? on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 1

    Some people actually work with .EXEs for a living. GMail is worthless to those people.

    Only if these people don't have the ability to rename files.

    If you change the file extension to anything other than .exe, this "security feature" is circumvented.

  2. Re:Will I keep my username? on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 1

    If you tried to email yourself from your GMail account the message won't show up in your inbox.

    Messages sent from your GMail account to another address which forwards to your GMail account are only shown in 'Sent Mail' to avoid clutter.

  3. Re:Invite on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 1

    You may not need one...

    Have you tried sending a mail to [your username]@googlemail.com to see what happens?

  4. Re:It is not silent on Silent 500W Power Supply · · Score: 1

    If that fan is moving, noise is generated.

    But if you can't hear the noise the fan is generating, it is silent from your point of view.

    I thought that was fairly obvious.

  5. Re:Sure it would matter on PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK · · Score: 1

    you can see PS2 everywhere besides homes: in taverns, in coffee shops, everywhere where there is a TV in public display there is also a PS2 and Konami's soccer

    You're making this up aren't you?

    I'm from the UK, and I've never even heard of this game, let alone seen it anywhere in public. Apart from in the windows of shops that sell consoles, I don't even see any PS2's in public.

    I seriously doubt 'Winning Eleven' has anything to do with the success of the PS2 in Europe. The most popular football games are EA's FIFA series, but I reckon the GTA series is a much more serious force behind PS2 sales.

  6. Re:Of course, Linux is more free market on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 1

    Duh!

    They fully explained how their search algorithms work three years ago.

  8. Re:How is this annonymous? on Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement? · · Score: 1

    As I understand it this is similar to how Freenet works.

    Everyone's requests are bounced around random machines, such that it is impossible (or at least bloody hard) to figure out who is requesting what.

  9. Re:Is this REALLY Bram's site? on Trackerless BitTorrent Beta Posted · · Score: 2, Informative


    Yes

  10. Re:IR webcam ok, but... on Infrared Webcam HOWTO · · Score: 1

    Check the NTL pages, they are already advertising the 1/2/3mbit service to customers. If you haven't been upgraded yet, perhaps you should give them a call..

    Or, if you have a cable modem, you can upgrade your connection yourself here.

  11. Re:Resolution on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 1

    I guess not, but I'd be interested to know how many 15:9 screens you've seen recently, or ever.

  12. Re:Resolution on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 1


    I assume the screen is 16x9

    There's no need to assume that:

  13. Re:this about that on Astronomers Solve Magnetic Fields Mystery · · Score: 2, Informative

    The remnant in the middle of a planetary nebula is a sphere of incredibly hot solid helium (mostly), which used to be the core of the star (i.e. where the fusion actually took place).

    It is called a white dwarf at this stage, and as it has no power source (just residual heat) it eventually cools over an extremely long time to become a black dwarf.

  14. Re:Second Question on PVR's Head-to-Head: MythTV vs. Microsoft MCE · · Score: 2, Informative

    Take a look at Meedio.

    At the moment it does everything other than PVR functionality (DVD, video, music, pictures, weather etc.), but the TV component is due in the near future. There is a large user base and great community support on their forums.
