  1. Re:Rather Lacking in Details on EC Reviews New Complaints Against Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    The combination of programs in there office suite is meant to be the problem, Word and Outlook seems to be the big ones.

    The Inquirer had some extra details here.

  2. Duke Nukem on The Heartbreak of Canceled Games · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Exactly why isn't this considered late?

  3. Nintendogs on Nintendogs In-Depth Strategy Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    For people like me who were thinking wtf Nintendogs Wikipedia has a page on it.

  4. Ignorance on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it ignorant to believe an IT manager should be a knowledgeable in technology as a whole?

    Short answer: Yes
    Long answer: Hell yes.

  5. Re:Media on Terabyte DVD Recorder Available Next Month · · Score: 3, Informative

    What is the price of media for these things?

    It takes normal DVD's - and so not that much, since you can get a pack of 25 for £5 in the UK (single layer), and it is probably cheaper elsewhere.

  6. Firmware upgrade on PSP Function Additions In the Works · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I bet that all these features will need a firmware upgrade to wrok, and I can't see Sony missing out on the chance to keep people away from custom firmware by getting them to install this.

  7. Power on The Maturation of Video Games · · Score: 1

    For a long time, PCs were far more powerful than consoles

    They still are, just not with such huge differences. This might change however when the 360/PS3 comes out, but PC's will catch up. Besides PC's have keyboards and mice.

  8. Re:Microsoft? on HighDef Content to Require New Monitors · · Score: 1

    Microsoft are planning to implement it in Vista to protect DRM'd content.

  9. A browser? on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Google Desktop 2.0 is beginning to take shape as a browser in itself as the need for a Firefox or IE is almost eliminated.

    For me this contains nowhere near enough information or capabilities to be a browser. Want to see 5 or 6 google results (plus descriptions) at once and open them in tabs? How about running on *nix? What if I want to read a news article and visit several sites at once, or google something in a news article while not closing it and getting the information quickly? A lot of the time the information I need I find in the extract that google provides and so I don't want to have to click unnecessarily or visit other sites.

  10. For those who don't know what mambo is... on Miro Replies to Mambo Allegations · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. Re:Valve on MS & Game Rentals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Steam is only purchasing games ove rthe internet, this seems more like renting them.

  12. It is not reviews, but on Finding Trustworthy Webhosting Reviews? · · Score: 5, Informative

    You might want to check out Webhosting Talk and ask about any hosts you are looking at, or search the forums to see what customers of the hosts are saying.

  13. Redundancy on The Tech Used to Catch Vegas Cheats · · Score: 2, Funny

    Harrah's, the largest casino group in the world and on the Las Vegas Strip

    Welcome to the department of redundancy department.

  14. How long will they last? on Video Tombstones · · Score: 1

    How long will the tombstones last until they die or (more likely) someone steals it for the screen?

  15. Re:Speculation is useless on Speculations Intel's Next Generation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does that make me slashdot-worthy?

    Only if you make a beowulf cluster out of them.

  16. But... on Recordable Media a Bigger Threat Than Filesharing? · · Score: 1

    I bet you they will still go after filesharers, or keep on going on about how "damaging" filesharing is even though it makes no effect and this is more proof of that.

  17. Re:screenshots on More Mac OS X on Plain Old x86 Boxes · · Score: 2, Informative
  18. Google campus on Apple Campus Missing From MSN Earth · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, I wonder if the Google campus is missing too?

    Well it is missing from Google maps itself (search for 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. If google doesn't have it then I doubt Microsoft would have it.

  19. Server trashed already... on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Coral cache of the site.
    Google cache
    Mirrordot
    Not that anybody round here would be reading the article though.

  20. Reuters article on Sharp's Double-View LCD TV · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does the article linked to have nothing to do with two people being able to watch two channels? The article, to me, seems to say that Sharp and AU Optronics have agreed to share patents, nothing about sharing one screen with two people.
