  1. Re:Trolltech.. on Original BeOS Developer Now at Trolltech · · Score: 5, Informative
    I think the troll in trolltech refers to :
    A supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives in caves, in the hills, or under bridges.

    as aposed to people who troll for arguments which is
    To trail (a baited line) in fishing.
  2. Re:Not too big a deal on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 2

    If all this bug does is cause the browser to crash then it's nothing. I know of numerous ways to cause IE to crash using pefectly valid CSS. Does anyone care? Nope. Micro$oft sure as hell won't fix them because they're not really a security risk. I know how to lock up Opera using CSS too, which has been known about by the Opera team for a long while.

    Should work in IE and firefox, god knows about opera and khtml though.

  4. Goatse linked in article? on South Korea Introducing Robotic Teachers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why does "64 educational robots" link to mr goatse? Trolls posting on slashdot now?

  5. PSP SDK on PSP Firmware Downgrader Released · · Score: 1

    You can download the toolchain script from here which will install everything you need to get started. I've used it in cygwin in windows and on ubuntu.:

    For running stuff on the 1.5 psp you need to use kxploit to patch the executable (eboot.pbp) this can be found here:

  6. Working link. on PSP Firmware Downgrader Released · · Score: 1

    It's http://pspupdates.com/, no dash. and psp-spot.com is having server issues due to the demand for the 2.0 downgrader.

    Yoshi has been accused of stealing code in the past, aswell as stealing the donation money. But who knows what's true. From what i saw of him on irc, he's an arsehole.

  7. Re:"homebrew software development " ? on PSP Firmware Downgrader Released · · Score: 1

    If you could burn your own UMDs, or 1gig memsticks drop below the cost of a game, i think piracy would be pretty high, but running them off a memstick at the moment doesn't seem all that practical to me, having to go to the effort of scrubbing one game, copying another every time they want to change a game. This at best allows someone to demo a game before purchase.

    BTW I'm trying some homebrew coding on the psp, it's a nice bit of kit, and the open source pspsdk is pretty simple to install and use.

  8. Bad idea on PSP Firmware Downgrader Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Losing power while down/upgrading will brick the psp, making it transparent to the user would be a bad idea.

  9. SCO on MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Can we trust mysql to be nice folks when they're in cahoots with SCO?

    It's flash dude, flash has had a built in movie player for some time now. I'd much rather have flash used for movies like this than stupid media player plug-ins, shame not everyone uses it.

    Imformative increases karma, funny does not. That's why some mods mark it imformative if they're feeling generous.

  12. Re:Wow can you imagine on Space Elevator Gets FAA Clearance · · Score: 1

    Most manned stuff in orbit is between 100-300 miles high, but geostationary stuff is 22,000 high, which seems awfully high to tether an elevator to. Gunna need some tough cables for that baby.

  13. epaper and html on When Will E-Books Become Mainstream? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When we have nice portable epaper to read them on. If epaper really does require little power it could be solar powered.

    Also the ebooks need to come in an open format, I personally think semantically correct (x)html would be perfect. Easily restyled to your personally preference.

    Blind users would also benefit from that as they wouldn't need to wait ages for the book to come out on tape, assuming it does at all.

    Firefox in my pocket is what i want.

  14. PSP best for homebrew on PSP vs. DS Six Months On · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I love my PSP, but only for homebrew, emus, etc. God knows why Sony wish to stop people using the PSP for the only thing it's good for.

  15. Re:Some can be forced to work on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Damn formatting broke it, should have used preview. here it is again:

    If you find the respective install.rdf file for the extension (it usually says inside which it is). In windows they're located:

    C:\Documents and Settings\WINDOWS_USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profilename.default\ extensions\

    and change <em:maxVersion> to 1.4, firefox will assume it works. This doesn't necessarily mean it will work though. I found the WebDev toolbar to break. But adblock works without needing to be modified.

    While it's a huge improvment over the current slashdot code, it still doesn't even validate. at least not using the coral cached version:

    So this is a pic of a NEW linux game? Exactly how many of them are there?

  23. Re:Its gonna be mostly a guessing game on LGP Announces New Competition · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it's 1 random pixel per second, so expect a longer wait before you can make anything out. The image is 1280x960, or 1,228,800 pixels. Which will take 14.2 days to show itself completely.

    Oh and it's a jpeg so lots of refreshing will be needed, making the slashdot effect more painful.
