  1. Re:WDTV on SFLC Sues 14 Companies For BusyBox GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    Brad over at b-rad.cc is already working on alternative firmware, and there's a debian chroot if that's what you were looking for.

  2. Re:Throttling on Israeli ISPs Caught Interfering With P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    150gb and lower limit here in Australia for 10mbit+ connections.
    I pay $70AUD/month for this...

  3. Re:Not more safe on Malware Found Hidden In Screensaver On Gnome-Look · · Score: 1

    The main problem is the sudo anything culture that has been created with Ubuntu.

  4. Re:A view from Asia-Pacific on Linux Reaches 32% Netbook Market Share · · Score: 1

    Must vary from store to store. JB Hifi in the Canberra Centre is all Win7/XP

  5. Re:Adblock on Google Upgrades Chrome To Beta For OS X, Linux · · Score: 1

    Someone really needs to develop Sparkle for Windows.

    Sparkle is a rather nice on-app-load update checker for OS X.

  6. Re:Convert it to continuous feed inktanks on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 1

    Interesting. I've seen this for commercial-grade printers. Can all models be converted like this or only some specific Epson/Cannon etc?

  7. Re:Recording HD? on Best PC DVR Software, For Any Platform? · · Score: 1

    There was a product called Fury-something that could pass the output from HDMI to other outputs, which may be one step towards what you want to do.

  8. Re:Hockey guy? on Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout · · Score: 1

    OK, ignore climate change completely. No problem. We're still going to run out of oil, though.

  9. Re:class action on Dell Defect Turning 2.2GHz CPU Into 100MHz CPU? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Step 4: Lawyers profit, everyone else gets $5 off at the Dell shop.

  10. Re:I see what they did there... on Telcos Want Big Subsidies, Not Line-Sharing · · Score: 1

    They're trying that in Australia with plans for a new national fibre optic network. I'd say Telstra (our version of AT&T) is going to tie it up in the courts forever.

  11. Re:STEM... on Obama Kicks Off Massive Science Education Effort · · Score: 1

    So stick Crayon Physics and Crazy Machines on DS and Wii, strongarm Nintendo and Sony into opening up their devkits and give some students the XDK and you have science education for the lazy.

  12. Re:does anyone still use it? on MythTV 0.22 Released · · Score: 1

    Comments like this are frustrating, I can see there's obviously an issue with the way MythTV worked for you, but no details to try and fix the issue.

  13. Re:He needs thicker skin on Ryan Gordon Ends FatELF Universal Binary Effort · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested to know if it was a simple ID mismatch. As far as I can remember, each MythTV frontend needs a unique ID to connect to the server.

  14. Re:Antarctica! on Firefox Passes IE6 In Browser Share · · Score: 1

    I would think that IceWeasel would be in use in Antarctica.

  15. Re:A suggestion... on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    And this is why mirrors exist. If my local mirror has it, yours does too.

    http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/9.10/

  16. Re:It says: 256MB RAM... on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Can I purchase any of the Smart netbooks yet? I want one. A lot.

  17. Re:Low power FTW on ARM Stealthily Rising As a Low-End Contender · · Score: 1

    *and* contains a fairly complete Forth interpreter.

    Source code + bootloader at http://github.com/wikireader

  18. Re:Vishing? on Asterisk Vishing Attacks "Endemic" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's pretty hard to set Asterisk up properly, let alone secure it. The cynic in me says this is so Digium can make more money on support and training.

  19. Re:It's a dead parrrot. This device is obsolete on The Software Router As MiFi Killer · · Score: 1

    Except the software continually spams you on start up, and is a tad too expensive for what it does.

  20. Re:Just torrent it on Canonical Halts Ubuntu CD Free-for-all · · Score: 1

    My best friend used to live in a house about 4KM away from the nearest telephone exchange. No broadband, dialup connects at 9.6-16.4kbit. The CD shipping was a great idea for some people.

  21. Re:Define 'cheapest' on No Cheap Replacement For Hard Disks Before 2020 · · Score: 1

    Why bother, when you can just download it again if you want it?

    Not all of us can. Download quotas in Australia are pathetic.

  22. Re:Experiments on Now Linux Can Get Viruses, Via Wine · · Score: 1

    I'm interested - are you saying I could open() /etc/passwd from a wine instance?

  23. Re:QI Please on BBC Planning To Launch Global iPlayer VoD Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    It just started airing in Australia (series 6), so maybe the BBC have started to do deals with other networks.

  24. Re:prime 95 on Software To Diagnose Faulty PC Hardware? · · Score: 1

    IntelBurnTest (using Linpack) will stress the CPU far more than Prime95 ever could. Useful for heatsink testing too!

  25. Re:Inquire Within on FBI Investigates Liberator of Court Records · · Score: 1

    I think Slashdot just found a new hobby!
