  2. Re:I remember a similar thing... on Motorola Plans Wi-Fi Cell Phones · · Score: 1
    I know of what you are talking about. I remember talking to a Telstra tech (a long time ago) who said telstra was trialing such tech, but I think they dumped it in the end.

    I think it might have been something like a dual DECT/GSM phone.

    DECT
    GSM

  5. OT: USA's Political System on Boucher's DMCRA To Get A Hearing On May 12 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    sorry to be off-topic, but does anyone have any good links on how the American policial system works, who has what powers. These debates that involve congressmen and sub-committees are all very interesting, but for an outsider it can sometimes be difficult to understand.

  8. Re:Watch the salesman sqirm! on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: 1
    Wow that is fast, I am not sure if it depends on the handset but the Telstra GPRS network takes around 10-15 seconds at times to log on.

    On another note though I wonder what Telstra is going to do with their GSM network eventully as they recently announced to go with 1xRTT tech with their CDMA network.

  10. Re:my hopes aren't too high... on EMI Promises Downloadable Music · · Score: 1

    But it is not the technology that matters it is the content. so what if I play it on an mp3 player or a computer you pay for the content, that is why you buy it! you don't buy music so you have the right to play it on a certain piece of hardware.

  11. Re:Question... on Philips & Sony To Purchase Intertrust DRM Tech · · Score: 2, Insightful
    while I agree with your sentiments I still think that change can affected. History shows that Superpowers can be defeated, the Vietnam war and the war in Afganistan with USSR. Global economics can be change, something people see as unstoppable but global economics changed after WWI and then WWII. So is it not possible to change the current path of DRM.

    While open source nutjobs might not make up much buying power they can help promote a different point of view and educated others.

    What about the optical out that you get on some cd players? does that give a perfect output or at least better than a copper solution and are there systems which take that optical signal??

  14. Re:Am I the only one... on Font HOWTO For Linux · · Score: 1

    maybe... but I love Clear Type on my laptop. I can read the litte footnote numbering in my essays and italic text is so much more readable, but I would agree that some fonts do come across as a bit fuzzy

  16. Re:If it was that simple... on Eat Less - Live Longer · · Score: 1

    Like you said there must be some other penalty

    I don't think we would evolve a certain way
    unless it was needed for our survival. I guess
    living extra long simply is not necessary for
    the survial of the species.

  22. The happy day on Quake Wedding · · Score: 2

    Priest: Does anyone here know why this man and woman should not be joined in holy matrimony, if so speak now or forever hold thy peace

    There is a grunt from back of the congregation and everybody turns. A heavly built man with a flattop haircut smoking a cigar steps out into the ile. He stares at the bride, eyes as cold and ice. firmly planting his feet he pulls a BFG from seemingly nowhere. Someone in the croud yells BFG lamer but he doesn't care anymore he only has eyes for one and now he has been betrayed its payback time. The people around him seem paralyzed stunned at the turn of events. The man feels a prickle run up the back of his nek and realises that there is a camper in the shadows, the groom smiles at having taken such precautions. The man knows hes not beaten yet, spiting the ciga from his mouth and using the momentary distraction to flick on his shield belt. Grinning at the groom who now wears a horrfied expression he pulls the trigger. The gun whirls into life the sound breaking the paralisis of the people and they start to flee (some hopping along for more speed). The camper fires the man grunts and smiles his shield taking the brunt of the railgun hit. The bride screams in horror as the green ball of pure energy exits the guns barrell. Small tendrils of energy streak out from the glowing sphere cutting through the fleeing people. body parts start to fly everwhere but the man is not idle, turning round and strafing right he pulls out his rocket launcher firing into the corner where the camper shot from. The camper tho has not been idle, realising that the man has a shield belt and that his hiding place has been compromised he moves spamming grenades as he flees covering his tracks. The man gives chase spitting in disgust at the camper before he goes he turns and looks as the BFG sphere evelopes the couple standing at the altar. Their final screams are a silenced as their bodys are ripped apart by the full impact of the BFG sphere of death. Smiling at his handy work ( ":)" appearing somewhere at the top of your monitor) he turns to go and resume the chase, to fight another day, another level, another server.
