The same think happened to a friend of mine running WinAmp on his NT box. What happens (according to the official Winamp faq) is that your video card is using so much bus bandwidth that nothing can get through to the soundcard. Some boards even go so far as to lock other devices out of the bus while scrolling. The only known way to fix this problem is to replace the video board.

Science is a Good Thing(tm) to spend money on! Would you rather they spent all your tax dollars on continuous and ineffecive bombing in Iraq? Paying for a congressional circus that proved nothing? Funding stupid laws? Buying the NSA new crypto-crackers? A manned (and womaned) mission to mars is the next step forward for us. We landed a man on the moon in 1969. That was 30 years ago! The fact that we haven't already been to mars is mildly pathetic.
It says you have to return "to the place of purchase"! How many of you bought those copies of win-slow 98 at micro$oft's corporate offices? Not many, huh... That *may* be the reason you didn't get refunds there.
It's not about piracy, it's about being able to play the Japanese version of the game. Message to Squaresoft: We want FF8! Now! We *will* bypass your location chip to play it!
UltraHLE (cool, an exercise in reverse-engineering) MP3 (Cool, lets store all our music on the computer instead of spending all day shuffling CDs) now this (Cool, no waiting until October for FF8) It's not stealing if you *have the CDs* ! (that goes for PSX or MP3)
I saw plans once for an adapter to connect a PSX memory card to a floppy drive cable. The same sort of thing ought to work for N64 game cartridges. Nintendo could build something like this, bundle it with a good emulator (like ultra HLE), and open up a whole new market (people with computers but not an N64). If I didn't have to buy the damn console I would be playing Zelda 64 right now. The downside is this would make it easier for ROM pirates to save ROM images onto a computer (which *IS* legal, if you own the cartridge, despite Nintendo's assertions to the contrary)

mount/dev/you/me man: why dump your girlfriend? (returns "man:: too many arguments")
She was good at grep and wine, but was just never in the mood to fsck. Then she found out I had been seeing windows behind her back (I was just playing games! honest!) so she left me.
What are the odds that the government would let me walk into Fort Meade (for the non-paranoid/non american slashdotters, that's the headquarters of our NSA) and put up a webcam? Not very good. My basic attitude here is, as long as they have secrets, so can I. Cameras on every streetcorner? The system would be abused, both by the government and by the large corporations. Not a bright picture of the future. It would be something like "babylon 5" meets "the x-files".
And the euro-parliment is about to get hit with a clue-by-four. This could be the high point of stupidity that pushes the average net.user over the edge into political activism.
Did anyone else catch the references to "differentiated service" levels mentioned in the article? What this sounds like is that big corporations (or universities) with the Big Bucks(tm) get the best service (good support, high bandwidth, high reliability), and private ISPs or small companies would be left with the unreliable or low-bandwidth connections.
So he's outed one of the teletubbies. Thats interesting, from what i've seen, they seem more asexual than homosexual. One has to wonder, who's next? Bert and Ernie? Mr Rogers? Big Bird? Kermit? Everyone but Jerry Falwell? Where will the madness end?
I just can't see Sierra recalling 50k copies of a football sim because it sucked. Sierra has been unrepentantly making suck games since the 80's. What was *really* on that disc besides the game? South Park videos? Nude photos of the Sierra engineers? Plans for the neutron bomb? The truth about the Kennedy assasination? UFO guidance/navigation software? Or was it just a really bad football game?
"It should be understood by those skilled in the art that a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer,... is separate from the operating system."
They just proved the DOJ's case, right there. If the doctored video doesn't kill their case, this will.
Is there a single member of congress who realizes that the internet is not confined to the U.S? Or does the "we're the leaders of the free world" mentality make them think that every other nation will just fall into line behind whatever peice-of-crap legislation they put out? It's ridiculuos to think the internet *can* be censored, let alone that it *should* be.
As soon as lyrics.ch goes back up, someone or some group should copy *EVERYTHNG* onto multiple remote servers (hopefully in a country with very loose IP law). That way, the "internation lyrics server" will become the "immortal lyrics server"!
now where the hell did that bit about pockets come from?

Wouldn't that be "hopping" on the bandwagon?
Now i know why people do that first-post crap, there are few things as depressing as seeing an empty slashdot comment page...
MP3 is the way a lot of us store our music. As for CDs they're cheap, its the CD-R drives that are too damn expensive.
We get to slam Micro$oft AND the US Patent office at the same time? Sound the fire alarms!

sorry about the HTML screw-up. This one seems to have worked

...worked without the benefit of digital memory, which is mentioned specifically in the patent.
