  1. Polishing a turd into a diamond... on High-Def Disc Interactivity Debuts on HD DVD · · Score: 0

    I don't think even HD could lure me into buying such a rubbish film.

  2. Gapless playback on Hacking the iPod Firmware · · Score: 0

    Thats the one thing that most mp3 players lack. Note the use of mp3 and *not* ogg or any other obscure format and don't be mentioning ripping CD's as 1 file instead ;-) Now if someone could hack that... why I'd almost buy one!

  3. "leaks" these days are more like publicity on Rumored iPod Flash Leaked · · Score: 0

    call me cynical, but such things only ever serve to give companies press. whethers its good or bad press, its still press. its like viral marketing - "have you seen such and such hardware specs, wow, cool!"... equally, we're giving it press by using this very medium. *yawn* we're caught in a vicious neverending cycle.... HELP!!!!

  4. Re:.com rules, sadly on 66.3 Million Domain Names Registered · · Score: 0

    are you sure? most of the people i know in the UK will go for a .com before a .co.uk. unless, of course they're a) not willing to spend the money (yes, that does happen) or b) the domain has already been taken. think about it - whats the domain your avg luddite will enter into a browser? a country specific or a .com?

  5. .com rules, sadly on 66.3 Million Domain Names Registered · · Score: 0

    i'm sure most people will still go for a .com before everything else.

  6. Canadian music has a lot to answer for... on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 0

    You gave us Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Alanis Morrisette, Avril Lavigne, etc. Shame on you!

  7. Re:Travel Sickness on Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Confirmed · · Score: 0

    i had a break from FPS's for a few years and then borrowed a friends Xbollox to play Halo, and suprisingly I started feeling dizzy and had a real problem standing up after only an hour. these games should come with a health warning... oh, they do. doh! they should ban them! yada yada yada...

  8. Re:main cost of spam != bandwidth on Lycos Anti-Spam Site Compromised [Updated] · · Score: 0

    thats actually incorrect. i agree that the time spent sorting spam can be a problem (unless you use procmail + spamassassin), but the bandwidth thing is an issue on narrowband. 56K modem + lots of spam = problem. try it sometime. i don't even bother to use pop3 on dialup anymore. the box i used to filter spam just chugs away whilst my link is saturating for a few minutes with spam. why bother. thank you gmail!

  9. Re:What games are included? on Commodore 64 TV Game for Sale · · Score: 0

    Cybernoid, Elilminator, Exolon, Paradroid, Uridium, Zynaps. I think there is a pattern in terms of quality games :) btw, a speccy emulator would be good, but i guess the c64 was *great* for audio.

  10. Re:Rats on Commodore 64 TV Game for Sale · · Score: 0

    and a rather impressive manic miner clone!

  11. Flight Simulator Hack on Amazon's Best Computer Books of 2004 · · Score: 0

    now that was the best thing in excel! :-)

  12. hardware specs for linux the same? on Transgaming to Support Half Life 2 Under Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    or will it run on my DX2s and P75s?

  13. the more people use linux the lower my salary... on Where Is The Plug-and-Play Linux Office System? · · Score: 0

    remember what you're doing when you try and make linux more mainstream by such new-fangled devices.

  14. Can Tivos still be bought in the UK? on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 0

    I need a pvr in my life. help apprectiated. best pvr available in the uk? (cost/performance/etc)

  15. Re:Not gonna work on The State of Natural Language Programming · · Score: 0

    instead of goto, we would have goatsecx ;)

  16. the only code that matters... on The State of Natural Language Programming · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    10 print "slashdot rocks" 20 goto 10

  17. the hot chick on Tom's Holiday Buying Guide · · Score: 1

    i can see why santa likes to empty his sack everywhere

  18. sigh on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 1

    I wish games makers would spend the time improving coding routines and working on gameplay than continually upping the specs required to play games. Bring back the zx spectrum I say!
