  1. How the detection works on British PC Tax to Replace TV License? · · Score: 1

    http://www.tvlicensing.biz/detection/

    Pretty straight forward really.

  2. Stand alone version? on IE 7.0 Beta 2 Available to the Public · · Score: 1

    Is there a stand alone version? How are people ment to test their site in IE6 and IE7 if there's no stand alone version of IE7?

  3. Re:A TV screen for a computer? on Microsoft OS Smart Phone for Developing Nations · · Score: 1

    This isn't a problem if the resolution is low enough, 480x320 or even 640x480 would be fine, although kinda crowded for any serious work.

  4. Use CSS on Should Businesses Have Mobile Friendly Websites? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If your site is written properly, i.e. using CSS for layout, then at the very least you can simply disable CSS for mobile visitors, not very pretty but doesn't block any content. The best option would be to have a style sheet with it's media set to handheld to tailor the content they see. Hide unnecessary stuff, and format the rest in a compact fashion:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="handheld" href="handheld.css" />

    Opera is useful for testing these styles (Shift+F11) and the Web developers toolbar adds this feature to firefox. A very well made site compatible with handhelds is none other than opera.com, everything on their site has a well optimised handheld version.

  5. Re:Shame really on Gmail Mis.delivered? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gmail already has this feature if you own slashdot@gmail.com you can also use slashdot+anything@gmail.com

  6. Linux support? on WoW Supported On New Intel Macs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So, if WoW runs on a unix system on an intel cpu, how much work would it be to get it running on linux?

  7. Re:Typicall awful font rendering on Linux on aMSN 0.95 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    My fonts look a lot better than those in the aMSN screenshot, but then the screenshot shows fonts without anti-aliasing enabled. Even windows looks shit if you disable that. Personally i think my linux fonts look better than the ones i get in windows. I use ubuntu and gnome by the way.

  8. Here's the working download links: on aMSN 0.95 Released · · Score: 5, Informative
  9. Re:GOD DAMN SHE'S UGLY on The Economist on Mitchell Baker · · Score: 1

    I'd do her, and i quite like her hair, but then i have odd taste in women.

  10. Re:Repeat of the xbox launch? on Sony Paid for Fake PSP Graffiti? · · Score: 1
    causing a huge fuss in the media about it being graffitti. Seems companies never learn


    I think the whole idea was to cause a huge fuss in the media, they got exactly what they wanted.
  11. Re:Flash Problem Resolution on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    I had this problem when upgrading to flash player 8 even in firefox 1.0.x

  12. Re:where to get Firefox on Firefox 1.5 Final Now Available · · Score: 1

    ftp.mozilla.org is a round robin, they have a few servers and should be able to handle the load.

  13. book link! on Jack Thompson vs Amazon? · · Score: 5, Informative
  14. Re:God mode on Bill Gates' Doom Video From 1995 · · Score: 1

    IDKFA = all weapons, ammo and KEYS
    IDFA = all weapons and ammo.

    now where's my dammed cookie?!

  15. Re:Dear Sony... on Three Companies Shut Down For Spyware Bundling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sony have more money though. Money == Power.

  16. Why not make it a crime... on Police Need 90 Days To Crack Hard Drives · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Why don't we just make it a crime to withhold passwords from the police, then you at least have something to charge them with without us having to bring back internment.

  17. Re:So does this mean.. on Telecommuters May Owe Extra State Taxes · · Score: 1

    Would they also be entitled to US minimum wages too?

  18. Re:Missing the point: fundamental flaws of .mobi on mTLD to enforce Web standards in .mobi · · Score: 1

    Exactly why CSS has the "handheld" media type. Press SHIFT+F11 in opera to emulate it. Naturally http://opera.com/ looks lovely without the need for a seperate site.

  19. mTLD can't even follow standards on mTLD to enforce Web standards in .mobi · · Score: 1

    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=https% 3A//www.mtldinfo.com/

    fails to validate. Lets hope their .mobi site is a little better.

  20. Re:Well... on Start of Life Gene Discovered · · Score: 1

    I believe an animal life doesn't start until the brain boots up, before that it's no more alive than a plant.

  21. Re:Linux on How to Build a $500 Gaming Machine · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did you miss the part about it being for gaming?

  22. My Puter rox0rs on Microsoft Releases Game Advisor For Windows · · Score: 1

  23. Skool Daze on UK Politicians Threatened By Bully · · Score: 1

    Bully just seems to be a modern version of Skool Daze and Bak 2 Skool. Did them games get this much media coverage because they contained a school bully which you beat up and knock out with a slingshot?

  24. Re:Sweet on Quake 4 Linux · · Score: 1

    I believe the game was developed by Raven Software, who also did the Soldier of Fortune games as well as Hexen 2 and Heretic 2. I'm not sure how much id had to do with the actual development of the game other than the engine of course.

    Err, i think the 40% under the age of 15 are also under the age of 20.
