  1. Great!! on Wii Confirmed at 480p · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was busting for one!!! ;)

  2. I hope the PS3 fails now on PS3 8x More Power Hungry Than PS2 · · Score: 1

    Now, more so than ever, I hope that the PS3 fails! It sickens me to think of wide spread proliferation of this console in home all across the world draining all that power :( Consumer electronics are one of the first things that need to become more energy efficient if we are going to taclke this little problem that we're getting ourselves into...

  3. Re:Bullsh*t! on Hoarders vs. Deleters- What Your Inbox Says · · Score: 1

    Of course, but this is where the line is drawn - and as of now, my girlfriend resents endless housework ;)

  4. Bullsh*t! on Hoarders vs. Deleters- What Your Inbox Says · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm sorry, but this has really incensed me! This is absolute crap, I am incredibly organised when it comes to email because it's easy to stay on-top off (well, at least try to.) If an email is important, or it contains information that I will definatly need in the future, I will file it in a subfolder. If it's related to ongoing work, I will keep it in my intray until said work is completed when it will then be deleted. If it's my mother sending me pictures of kitten it will hit the trash before I've even gotten to the end. I wish my life was this organised, but it's just not - my bedroom is always a mess of clothes (until I start running out) and God knows that this place could do with a spring clean! Organising one's "virtual" presence is a hell of a lot easier than physically sorting things out! That felt good :)

  5. Re:It must be good !! on Network Card for Gamers - Uses Linux to Reduce Lag · · Score: 1

    I love the way there is a serios lack of actual PCB on the card - hence the massive fan / headsink / plastik-crap (tm) on it.

  6. Ahh... on Surgical Tools to Include RFID · · Score: 1

    So THAT's where I left it!

  7. One vote for VM Ware ESX Server on An Overview of Virtualization Technologies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We run 2x VM Ware ESX Servers on Sun x4200 servers (w. 8 gig o' ram :) - the web-gui for ESX is second to none, incredibly easy to configure virtual machines. It's got us seriously considering moving more than just our dev enviroments over to virtualised hardware.

  8. Re:how's about Free95? on FreeDOS Not Dead; 1.0 Release Imminent · · Score: 1

    I know it's not strictly speaking Win95, (plus the fact you were clearly making said comment in jest) but ReacOS?

  9. Re:A picture of the theif? on Mac Theft Recovery Software Tracks Thieves · · Score: 0

    It's called gaffer tape - works even better on the back i^Hmacbooks

  10. Re:Good, but.. on SUSE 10.1 Released · · Score: 0

    get out...

  11. But does it run... on FreeBSD 6.1 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but does it run solitaire?

  12. Re:obligatory on Windows Nag Windows to Counter Piracy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's just funny to watch her hit counter go mad whenever I post here ;)

  13. obligatory on Windows Nag Windows to Counter Piracy · · Score: 5, Funny

    cracks in 3...2...

  14. Re:the times they are a changin' on Verizon's Aggressive New Spam Filter Causing Problems · · Score: 1

    Our ISP has recently had to filter mail via SORBS (http://www.sorbs.net/) to combat the amount of spam - it's been causing havok as hotmail and yahoo users get their mail randomly rejected. I'm presuming this is a simlar line of defense.

  15. Re:Hurray! on Windows Drivers for Mac Rolling Out · · Score: 1

    Oh come on, it's so painfully obvious that the Mac Mini is best SFF PC you can currently buy - who doesn't want one of these sat under their telly?

  16. Beta Version avaliable now on Microsoft Pauses Work on 'Photoshop Killer' · · Score: 5, Funny

    if you haven't tried the beta already, simply press the Windows Key and R, then type 'mspaint.exe' without the quotes.
    classic.

  17. Viral Marketing Campaigns on The Simpsons Come to Life · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Okay, very cool - but I wish slashdot would advertise my viral marketing campaigns for free as well... http://www.gutrecords.com/ecards *ahem*

  18. Re:While some OS/2 Peeps are browsing... on Keeping the OS/2 Flame Alive · · Score: 1

    I thought as much, knoppix to the rescue!

    thankyou :)

  19. While some OS/2 Peeps are browsing... on Keeping the OS/2 Flame Alive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    wonder if anyone could offer me a quick bit of advice (Sorry, I know this is O/T!). Our phone system, apart from being ancient, runs on a 166Mhz Cyrix (lol!) with OS/2 installed. If the hard disc in that machine fails, we are buggered as our telco no longer supports OS/2 and wants us to upgrade (a snap at £8,000!).

    My question is - does anyone know how I can make a perfect hard disc image that I can restore from if the Rickety 2Gb Segate in the box fails? Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Jonny.

  20. Decent Games on Sony Unveils PSP Translator · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Even tho this is old news, I wish Sony / The Publishers would get their act together and release some decent games for the PSP. At the moment, the only good thing to do with them is illegal (homebrew, emuz, etc).

  21. Thank Goodness! on Ancient Flaws May Leave Mac OS X Vulnerable · · Score: 3, Funny

    Thank God people have almost cracked running Windows XP on these new Mactels!

  22. Saw this one coming. on Gizmondo Future Sealed · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was at the Gizmondo launch party in central London back in April / May time. They must have spent millions on it with live performances from Sting, Jamiriqui and various other "expensive to hire" types (Tom Green and Danni Minouge provided an appauling dynamic). At the time I thought it was doomed to failure (it looked like a cross between an Atari Lynx and that odd Nokia gaming phone) - still, the free chamapagn helped dull the pain.

  23. Re:Interesting choice... on Robert Fripp to Compose Vista's Soundtrack · · Score: 1

    The Brian Eno Win95 sound can be found here, brings back fond memories ;) http://www.whitwell.ndo.co.uk/musicthing/sounds/ms sound1.mp3

  24. Re:from the-dupe-dept. on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: -1, Redundant

    DUPE! (what was that noise? oh my karma hitting the floor...)

  25. Re:Flash Plugins on Adobe Acquiring Macromedia on December 3, 2005 · · Score: 1

    Like I said in a previous reply - I use flash to design pop and rock artist websites - very little content, but very, well, flashy ;)
