  1. Re:Major Labels? on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    Do you actually listen to anal cunt or just look at the song titles in your playlist.

  2. Re:eMusic on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    My only complaint with eMusic was that they asked for a credit card number to sign up for a FREE trial. I haven't used them since

  3. Re:Wine on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    A site that does that: juno.co.uk (I don't work for them, I just like them).

  4. Re:Discrimination, discrimination I say. on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    CA and 90210 works from the uk aswell, will have to see if ive been charged for it. btw, is this fraud?

  5. Re:Major Labels? on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    Pendulum? Nope
    London Elektricity? Nope
    High Contrst? Nope

    Not looking good, trying something else

    Sunn O)))? Check
    Earth? No Earth

  6. Re:I wonder on OpenOffice 2.3 Released · · Score: 1

    11. Don't give me a license agreement/please register screen every time I update.

  7. Re:Where do you get such an old virus? on Boot Sector Virus Shipped on German Laptops · · Score: 1

    Can I borrow a copy of KAK for the office?

  8. Re:The digital TV switch isn't going to happen on FCC Says Analog TV Lives Until 2012 · · Score: 1

    Better reception; they live in a rural area, and the error correction in the digital signal means that it doesn't degrade like the analogue one does.

    From what I've seen it degrades much worse than analogue. I've seen digital cut out and just freeze when analogue just goes a bit fuzzy. Tho this could be due to using a £15 box from tesco.

  9. Stupid question (but I genuinely don't know) on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 1

    Can't you just get the tv listings off the air/cable/whatever? Perhaps things are set up differently in the US but in the UK listings are broadcast with digital tv (I haven't checked tuner card compatibility but I've never seen a set top box that doesn't support them).

  10. Re:Java popular? on Sun Says OpenSolaris Will Challenge Linux · · Score: 1

    Still porting should just be some minor tweaks and a recompile unless they put loads of assembler everywhere.

  11. Anyone know what the bug is? on Vista Bug Costs Users In Swedish Town Their Internet · · Score: 1

    The article seems very light on details. Does anyone know what the actual problem is?

  12. Re:No tears shed here on MTV Bails on Microsoft's URGE Store · · Score: 1

    That's not the kind of URGE that a music store can help you with.

  13. Re:Why should *every* song say "fuck"? on Wal-Mart Ditches DRM, Keeps Censorship · · Score: 1

    I don't see why a store that also sells toys and teen clothes would want to carry "50 cents" in the next isle.

    Because the only age group that can stand to listen to a full album of 50 cent will also be interested in toys and teen clothing.

  14. Re:What other media players already support H.264? on Flash Player 9 Gets H.264 Support · · Score: 1

    I doubt that the licencing is that much. If it was then surely someone would just stick vlc or mplayer in a box with a drive and sell it for $10.

  15. Re:Has anybody ever actually seen this site? on A Campaign to Block Firefox Users? · · Score: 1

    Is that some recent "New Math" development where a small negative is actually a large positive?
    No it's an old math development called modulo arithmetic.
  16. Re:And so it goes on... on AMD Previews New Processor Extensions · · Score: 1

    Probably enough to start dropping a few. The 16 bit instructions could be disposed of without anyone noticing for a start.

  17. Re:in college this would make some sense on Discouraging Students from Taking Math · · Score: 1

    It certainly doesn't make sense to encourage students to drop maths unless they have a very clear idea of where they're going in life. In the UK at least there are many university courses where decent grades in maths and/or science are requirements.

  18. Re:Finally... on Algorithm Seamlessly Patches Holes In Images · · Score: 3, Funny

    The entire internet outside slashdot

  19. Re:Originality? on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 1

    Now, overall, IANAL, but I fail to see how they can trademark something as simple as a red cross. That would be tantamount to me trademarking the black filled-in circle.
    I haven't had time to check this but apparently the first registered trademark was a red triangle (the bass beer logo), so it's not too hard to see a red cross or a black circle being trademarked.
  20. Re:You don't get it. on Firm Sues Sony Over Cell Processor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it actually possible (legally) to impound and destroy PS3's? Once people buy them aren't they those people property or is there some way to override this?

  21. Re:"Black lung" for the office set? on Office Printers May Pose Health Risks · · Score: 1

    The only way a dilbert could ever be excellent would be if he suicided.

  22. Re:And the problem with paper was? on Researchers Crack Every Certified CA Voting Machine · · Score: 1

    So thats why they invented SATA

  23. Re:The police mindset on Merely Cloaking Data May Be Incriminating? · · Score: 1

    A better solution would be to encourage everyone else to perform maximum obfuscation/encrypting of data, the idea being that you don't end up in the part of the country that gets jailed.

  24. Re:Does it matter on Webcasters Call Bunk on SoundExchange DRM Ploy · · Score: 1

    "server" should be "servers" and I should proof-read.

  25. Does it matter on Webcasters Call Bunk on SoundExchange DRM Ploy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Surely the obvious solution is for the net radio stations to move their server out of SoundExchange's reach. I hear hosting in Russia isn't too expensive these days.
