  1. Re:There's only one possible answer. on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 1

    Never heard of jingles being pirated ;) Same counts for the other two. Of course, an orchestra member earns money by playing, indeed, for a public, as I already stated in my posting. And excuse me for my bad English, I meant creating/writing music instead of making music, except of course for jingle writers, but that hasn't got anything to do with the music I was talking about.

  2. Re:There's only one possible answer. on 45% of Dutch Media-Buying Population Are "Pirates" · · Score: 1

    If the goal of the music you make is to make money, you're setting the wrong goal anyway. Music is there to tell a message, or set a specific atmosphere. And another thing is that an artist makes almost no money out of music sales. If you want to support your favourite artist, visit his concert, that's how they make money, and that's also how they experience real gratitude for the effort they put into their music.

  3. Month on Microsoft To Kill Windows 7 Beta Februrary 10th · · Score: 5, Funny

    Februrary is not on my calendar :(

  4. Re:Favourite ScummVM game on The Return of (Old) PC Graphic Adventures · · Score: 1

    That's what I already said in my post. I was looking for an illegal version and ran into the ScummVM website. Obviously I downloaded it over there (http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php). Beneath a Steel Sky is listed over there as well :)

  5. Re:Favourite ScummVM game on The Return of (Old) PC Graphic Adventures · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Have you tried holding the stylus in your other hand?

  6. Favourite ScummVM game on The Return of (Old) PC Graphic Adventures · · Score: 1

    One of my favourite games that came out on ScummVM was Beneath a steel sky. Got the floppy version years ago, on my old pentium, but didn't have the book, so I couldn't get passed a certain point (where I needed the codes). When I was searching on the internet a few years later to see if I could download some illegal version somewhere, I came across the ScummVM website. I think it's really a good initiative, because I could now play this game on my linux box (there was no Dosbox yet, or at least I didn't know about it).

  7. Re:I'm a girl on Slashdot on Researchers Test Whether Sharks Enjoy Christmas Songs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If you had one, maybe you wouldn't feel the need to be an asshole to a woman on an internet forum for no reason.

    You must be new here.

  8. Old-style adventure games on Adventure Game Interfaces and Puzzle Theory · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I really miss the interfaces the older adventure games used, like Police Quest 1 and 2, Space Quest 1 and 2, Leisure Suit Larry 1-3, and the other Sierra adventures from that time. Just walking around, and typing instructions. Of course this could be modernised by using voice commands, but I like it better than just clicking around on everything until the right thing is clicked.

  9. Re:No, you were not! on Guitarist Hopes To Play Again With The Help of Bionic Hand · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just go away, you insensitive clot!

  10. I was wondering... on Sweet Molecule Could Lead Us To Alien Life · · Score: 1

    ...couldn't it be that they located some candy from the toolbag? You know those women always put everything in their bags. I'm just waiting for the next item claiming that aliens also get their period, because they found a bloody tampon.

  11. I, for one, on Sweet Molecule Could Lead Us To Alien Life · · Score: 1

    welcome our sweet overlords. And please bring some of those Ol' Janx Spirit-filled chocolates, I ran out.

  12. As an extra security layer on Exchanging Pictures To Generate Passwords · · Score: 2, Funny

    It might be a good idea to take a picture of Bob and Alice shaking hands, to be certain the handshake is secured, too. If there's proof the handshake really took place, you know you're connected to who you're supposed to be connecting with!

  15. Re:So? on Breaking a Car's Cipher · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not necessary to physically access the keys, and the owner of the keys doesn't have to press any buttons either, just having the keys in range will suffice. Probably the keys use something like RFID or so.

  16. Finally... on MS Seeks Patent On Virtual Fuzzy Dice · · Score: 1

    ..."Where do you want to go today" is about to make sense
