  1. Re:How hard is it for a computer to do addition? on Software Bug Adds 5K Votes To Election · · Score: 1

    That's pretty nice code, well commented (in English too, as far as I can see). Do you know who developed it?

  2. Re:Not really on Has Bing Already Overtaken Yahoo? · · Score: 1

    Then they got ripped off. Even Ask Jeeves outperforms this!

  3. Re:Good luck with that. on Music Streaming to Overtake Downloads · · Score: 1

    Agreed, you can pry FLACs, and my FLAC enabled copy of lame.exe from my cold, dead hands.

  4. Re:MTP on Palm Pre "iTunes Hack" Detailed By DVD Jon · · Score: 1

    That's because the standard is rubbish. You could sync just fine with a mass storage device.

  5. Re:Geany! on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    Looks like it's Scintilla based, which means it will be very solid If for some reason you can't get this working on Windows, there's a Scintilla editor called Scite, also Notepad++ uses it.

  6. Re:Yes, we're getting older and bringing our stuff on Extrapolating the Near Future of Gaming · · Score: 1

    You can pry my cribbage from my cold, arthritic hands.

  7. Re:sounds like vegimite on Rotten Office Fridge Cleanup Sends 7 To Hospital · · Score: 1

    Probably Marmite or another variant in NZ.

  8. Re:Use wTorrent on Apple Refusing Any BitTorrent Related Apps? · · Score: 1

    I don't think rTorrent/libTorrent supports DHT though.

  9. Re:Windows 7 - Cripple Version on Lenovo On the Future of the Netbook · · Score: 1

    What? The version you are talking about is the Starter edition, definitely not designed for the EU/US/Australian markets. I'd imagine it would be W7 Home, or whatever that version is called.

  10. Re:I own a record store. on Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This troll pops up once in a while.

  11. Re:Google started the ball rolling... on A Look At the Wolfram Alpha "Search Engine" · · Score: 1

    The CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox can probably blacklist domains as well.

  12. Achieve! on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Slashdot: Episode 2, now on Steam.

  13. Re:fp on The Copyrightability of Twitter Posts · · Score: 1

    A whole new meaning to "Boston Tea Party"

  14. Re:Isn't Cloud computing simply 70s-era technology on Red Hat CEO Questions Relevance of Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't understand all this obsession with "cloud" computing...I don't want to switch to a "software lease" model that sucks $50 out of my wallet year-after-year-after-year. That adds-up to $500 a decade which is plain nuts.

    I want ownership.

    Don't you think that's exactly why software companies would want a leasing solution?

  15. Re:mirrors on Activists Use Wikipedia To Test Aussie Net Censors · · Score: 1

    Has something changed since Wednesday? I had no problems accessing Wikileaks from an Aussie connection then.

  16. Re:Oh great, there goes slashdot on Wikileaks Pages Added To Australian Internet Blacklist · · Score: 1

    Don't know, but I was able to access the "blocked" page from a connection here in Australia. Maybe it only gets blocked if the filtering plan goes ahead?

  17. Re:From the article... on Google To Monitor Surfing Habits For Ad-Serving · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know the one - the Slashdot login cookie :)

  18. Re:Mistaken Identity on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't work for premiere series, but I had an idea the other day. Instead of shows on iTunes coming out after TV, allow people to pre-purchase the whole series, maybe for $30AUD. Really popular shows like Heroes, Lost & 24 would have no problem with this. Release promo copies & freebies to get people interested in new series.

  19. Re:Link on Collaborative Map-Reduce In the Browser · · Score: 1

    Thank you. Nice that we have "volunteer" editors, since slashdot doesn't seem to employ them any longer.

    They just predicted the financial downturn long before we did, and fired them long, long ago.

  20. Re:Whoops on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    You mean "merde!"

  21. Re:Slashdot Bedtime Stories, Volume 1 on Author's Guild Says Kindle's Text-To-Speech Software Illegal · · Score: 1

    ...and only on Slashdot can that get modded Insightful.

  22. Re:and the land of the.... on Australia To Block BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except the equivalent here is - "Australians let us all rejoice, for we are young and free..."

  23. Re:Nevers run anything in the background? You what on Which OS Performs Best With SSDs? · · Score: 1

    The background process using your thumbdrive was probably Spotlight indexing. You can set up exclusions in the Spotlight section of System Preferences.

  24. Re:True in the DJ world, too. on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    http://vinylwarning.com.au/ and http://cdjshop.com/ would like to disagree with you.

  25. Re:Try mpd (music player daemon) on iTunes On OS X Finally Has Competition · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apparently the "ultimate" setup is MPD + Clients + sound set to output through PulseAudio to multiple speakers. Not sure if PulseAudio compiles on OS X though.
