  1. Re:Issues with Vista? on VLC 0.8.6 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I had that problem too, but if you go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output Modules and then check the Advanced Options box, select "Windows GDI video output" from the drop-down list, and it should work.

  2. Re:Kinda defeats a parking meter feature on Top off Your Parking Meter with a Cell Call · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's still $15 in Brookline.

  3. Re:Automatic playlists? on Rip CDs Directly to Your iPod · · Score: 1

    I was one of those people who stopped at Winamp 2. Winamp 5 was never quite the same, and after I got an iPod I gave up on it altogether. It's been at least a year (probably more) since I've last tried it. With iPod support, it might be worth checking out again. Thanks!

  4. Automatic playlists? on Rip CDs Directly to Your iPod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This device from Zettabyte will also save you from using all your ten fingers when changing or revising your playlist as everything is automatic.

    As much as it's dumb that iTunes is supposed to be the only interface to your iPod, I do like the ability to visually manage playlists and create smart playlists. I don't think this device will be able to automatically decide that I want $song on $playlist.

  5. Re:no +3 comments? in whole thread? on Laptops Required for Freshmen · · Score: 1
    For a couple months, I was getting mod points every single Monday, and that seems to have slowed down... and like others I'm being asked to metamod sometimes twice a day.

    I don't think my browsing habits have changed or anything... But I have noticed this issue... Maybe slashdot is just giving out less mod points for some reason?

  6. Re:And let me guess... on Amazon Plans Music Service To Rival iPod · · Score: 1

    Gapless playback!

  7. Major Discrepancy on iBook Converts to iTablet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone notice the title of TFA is: "Tablet Mac draws bidders on eBay" but when you go to the ebay link in the article you see "History: 0 bids"

    Seems like the title of TFA should be "Tablet Mac draws wide skepticism from Slashdot"

  8. Re:Important question... on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: 2, Informative

    The new (Steve Carell) Office. It would be awesome if they got some BBC stuff up there... I already have Fawlty Towers on DVD, but I'd want it up there just so I can tell people to get it!

  9. Re:It's like guns on Researchers Want Right to Bypass Protected Spyware · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure I'd consider circumvention of something a tool. The methods you use to circumvent something are tools, but circumvention is just another act that can be made illegal. ...That still doesn't mean it should be, though.

  10. I designed a game in academia! on Majoring in Video Game Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's so true. When I learned Prolog in my undergrad, the first project I did was to develop a text-adventure game. Man, that was sweet. It had like 16 different places you could go. Although, maybe it's kind of sad that this was only 3 years ago...

  11. Re:That Spells "Problem" on The Death of Used Game Sales? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...Or if your PS3 dies? I had a PS2 die on me, and buying another one was bad enough. Having to re-buy the games to go with a replaced system would certainly make the situation more enjoyable... :/

  12. Re:Will the influx of new Ipods.... on New iPods on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    I want the ability to poop in a fully charged battery.

    I guess we all have our own dreams...

  13. Re:The map doesn't work in Firefox. on Google Maps Graduates · · Score: 1

    Have you disabled Java in your preferences?

  14. Re:you *still* cannot map multiple points on Google Maps Graduates · · Score: 1

    It's a moot point. We all know that Microsoft is evil, so any convenient features in their software are overshadowed by, well, the shadow of Satan. Benevolent Google would never adopt such evil features...

  15. New Market on First PSP Trojan Reported · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does this mean that Symantec is going to begin marketing antivirus software for the PSP?
