  1. Re:iPod nano review on Ars Technica Vivisects A Video iPod · · Score: 1

    That was my thought as well. After reading the nano review, I was impressed that I could practically thrown the thing down and still have it work. By reading the article, it appears that it will survive the basic wear-and-tear of everyday life, but I would like to see how will it survives under more extreme conditions.

  2. Re:dont complain on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    Argh, at my high school so many damn kids listen to iPods during class! It is so freaking annoying. I don't get kids these days, why don't you stop listening to your music and listen to the teacher for an hour. Your music can wait. I can only hope that kids don't watch TV during class or something because if I were the teacher, I would be taking the device away for a long time.

  3. Re:Aperture info on Apple Unveils New Pro Products · · Score: 1

    From what I've read, Aperture is different from Photoshop.

    Apple downplayed the competitive threat that Aperture potentially poses to Adobe's popular Photoshop software, describing it as "complementary" to Photoshop. "This is to do a whole different set of things," Schiller said in an interview. "There's been no software that does what aperture does."

  4. Re:Of course it has problems on Wikipedia Founder Sees Serious Quality Problems · · Score: 1

    Well I think they were referring to other things. Seriously, if an encyclopedia contained a history of slashdot, I would be very surprised. Heck, the encyclopedia would have to be updated every week with new information, which is completely impractical.

    Personally, I've only used wikipedia for a starting point, as suggested before. I don't ever use information from it because I just don't trust it. This summer, one of my teachers used it, and he pointed out many errors. However, it was good for a basic overview of what the subject is.

  7. Re:This is the proof we needed! on Four Millennia Old Noodles Found In China · · Score: 1

    You would not believe how many people posted this on the venganza forums. I've found it at least 6 or 7 times in different topics. Inrefuteable proof!

    Ah, who are you kidding? No one uses realplayer!

  10. Distribution? on Universal to Offer its Movies Online · · Score: 1

    Probably all ready been asked by now, but how will they distribute them? Just put the file on their servers and see bandwidth fly away? Or will they actually embrace a P2P technology like BT to release the files? Another question, how big would the files be? I know that a 2 hour movie is easily about 700MB - 1.2 GB from what I have downloaded in the past.

    However, I doubt I would subscribe to such a service because I assume it would be lacking many of the special features that DVDs have, like directors cuts and deleted scenes.

  14. Re:Smelloscope on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Blah.. my memory is fading. The REAL quotation is.

    Professor: "Would you like to try the smelloscope, Fry?"
    Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus."
    Leela: "I don't get it."
    Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
    Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
    Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
    Fry: "Hehe, no, no, I think I'll just smell around a bit over here."

  15. Re:Smelloscope on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    "Hehe, I want to smell Uranus."
    "Actually Fry, many years ago scientists changed the name to prevent that stupid joke from recurring. It is now called Yourarse."

    Are you saying there is something wrong with the graphics? I prefer the older Daleks to the newer ones. The new series Daleks just look too fake. Blah. (goes back to watching some Peter Davidson)

  20. Looks Great on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1, Funny

    I just checked this morning and noticed something different looks great. Hell of a lot better then before. Looks a lot cleaner and sleaker. However my only concern is if you included an automated duper-detector. Or is that asking too much?

  24. Re:Spectate online, no. Combat, yes. on US Companies Sponsor Pro Gamers · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing something like that on TV (OLN if you are interested) and it was pretty dull. I mean it just showed two teams firing at each other. You couldn't see the balls flying through the air and it was pretty boring. No first-person cams or anything.

    Praise fellow pastafarian. That is what I tried first.

    I checked it out, but I am not that impressed. It could be better.
