  1. Re:DUPE! on Internet Users Are More Social Than Non-Users · · Score: 4, Funny

    The editors were too busy having a social life perhaps? ;)

  2. Re: Not all with DRM on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 1

    have fun with your Ogg files and your 5 pound portable music player....I mean laptop.

    Whatever. My Neuros weighs less than 9 ounces. It definitely plays Oggs, just like the Rio Karma.

    AAC everywhere? How many CD players in cars play AAC? I don't think people will be re-ripping their thousands of mp3s/oggs/whatever into AAC.

  3. Re:PDA remote controls? on Japanese Firms Create Home (Appliance) Network · · Score: 1

    I didn't read the link but I was using a program called Remote something around 3 or 4 years ago that you could use to train the PDA to send certain IR signals. It came with a nice UI for a tv/vcr/dvd/amplifier/etc. remote. Worked quite nicely. Free, too.

  4. Mod parent up on Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    This is indeed a big difference. Most people do look at the location bar rather than the status bar.

  5. Re:OSS Good on Israeli Gov't Begins Testing Mandrake Linux · · Score: 1

    I think the thing that annoys me the most is when certain classes require or exclusively teach certain Microsoft products. (Like Office)

  6. Re:Good idea, but.... on New Online Music Service For Australia · · Score: 1

    I thought with Apple you could get the album for around $10?

  7. Re:Windows Longhorn on Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    So, who hired Gartner this time to say that?

  8. But... on Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles · · Score: 1

    do your neighbors know about it? ;)

  9. Re:its that pesky Y2.003K bug! on Computer Glitch Causes Havoc and Losses on Nasdaq · · Score: 1

    The subject line was Y2.003K.

  10. Re:Not always possible on Computer Glitch Causes Havoc and Losses on Nasdaq · · Score: 1

    I don't usually carry $250 in cash with me ;)

  11. Re:Here's a few on Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players? · · Score: 5, Informative

    DI has been very committed to their Neuros Audio player. I have one and I love it. DI is still creating firmware updates AND continuing development on their new Neuros units.

    Someone else has mentioned this before. The founder, Joe Born, responded.

    This may also explain some more on the rumors.

  12. Re:world's smallest violin playing... on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 1

    A week of paying for 2 wireless plans when you should only need one..

  13. Re:Even before the # portability... on AT&T Wireless Fumbles Number Portability · · Score: 3, Informative

    Verizon Wireless has been giving out $25 to $30 credits for people with ATT WS portability problems (when they switched to VZW). Sure beats putting up with ATT's incompetence and their insulting $5 credit.

  14. Mirror mirror on the wall on Slashback: Matrix, Terminology, Topology · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you just want the images, I have them mirrored here

    Here's a direct mirror to the video

  15. Re:Sad state of affairs... on Stealth Inflation · · Score: 1

    I have their E53 checking account, and I accidentally had PayPal use my checking card and it put my checking account under. 5/3 conveniently transferred the negative balance to my credit card to balance out my checking account back to 0. I was pretty happy until I noticed the $7 or $8 charge at the end of the month. Better than $25 though.

  16. Re:Does this mean... on Paraphrasing Sentences With Software · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Chinglish Files

  17. Re:Its gonna be a race for the bottom ... on Hong Kong's Lessons on Number Portability · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think it depends on the demographic. Some people just really want a cheap cell plan. Though, they might change their mind when they don't get service a mile down the street. Some providers are a bit upscale, Verizon Wireless and Nextel come to mind. They focus on features/service etc. rather than price.

  18. Re:That's great on Hong Kong's Lessons on Number Portability · · Score: 1

    Just sell it on Ebay. That's what other people do when they go from a GSM provider to a CDMA one or vice versa. Also, certain phones can be switched over, depending on the carrier. Some Alltel phones can be used with Verizon Wireless.

  19. Re:We Need the Phones Changed on Hong Kong's Lessons on Number Portability · · Score: 1

    With contract signup bonuses, phones are dirt cheap. I think people will be open to the idea of getting a near-free phone when they switch providers. They are rolling out GSM/CDMA phones, but I don't think they're near the U.S. They're a bit pricey too. Why do you want to roam on all providers? Verizon Wireless and its roaming partners cover all of the GSM providers together plus more.

  20. Re:Great! on Documentary about Professional Gaming · · Score: 1

    Ah, so that's why our dorm's network was so slow last night. jk ;)

  21. Re:Great! on Documentary about Professional Gaming · · Score: 1

    Well, the torrent worked ok, but it's incredibly slow tonight.

    Here's a temporary mirror. Play nicely.

  22. Re:About the author... on Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards · · Score: 1

    When you buy the seeds, they come with a EULA that states you cannot use them for brewing beer. If you violate that, they'll send the RIAA out to sue your daughter.

  23. Re:Has anyone started a non-profit... on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    What if there was a place that could recoup costs by selling CDs (whether they be audio, or filled with MP3s) as sample music? Sort of like Cheapbytes.

  24. Re:Behold the power of /. on Superball! · · Score: 1

    I wish one of them would mirror it then. I'm trying to mirror it now, but no luck.

  25. Re:How will you verify keys? on Encrypted Cell Phone Hits the Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Nobody verifys keys for webpages, email or ssh right now. How many times have you seen "HOST KEY HAS CHANGED" or "host key not found" and typed "yes" anyway?

    Nobody? Maybe the people who don't care. I use SSH for a reason. I never thought that someone would try to do anything malicious until a week ago. A week ago, someone in my dorm tookover my i.p. and had a sshd running. I was connecting to it from another computer in the same building, and I got PuTTy's friendly warning about the host key changing. What did I do? I clicked abort, exited the program, went back to my room, and investigated the incident. Anyway, my point is that I hope most people don't blindly click OK.
