    Must be an american thing. I'm struggling to get what you are saying.

    LOVE the brown cardboard box at 0:23. I can't wait to see the obligatory youtube 'unboxing' videos. Oh wait..

  3. Re:Smash TV on Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, I was more refering to the GP post who claimed to want to have a controller split down the middle a la wii mote+ nunchuck etc. Golden eye offer this as you had a whole contrller in each hand, rather than '2 halves' as it were. The N64 controller was pretty neat in that it had the three prongs meaning you could hold it in 4 basic configurations using up to 2 hands.

  4. Re:Is that a joke? on Nintendo Reveals New Wii Controller · · Score: 1
    Indeed. It's well known Nintendo make the best controllers, always have.

    They were ahead of the game by offereing 4 ports as standard as well, plus with games like GoldenEye allowing a single player to use 2 controllers at once by holding the analog stick in each hand, giving analog movement and analog aim.

  5. Re:Plausible Deniability ? on UK Politician Criticised For Using Hotmail · · Score: 1
    Is it still true that a hotmail account will dissappear after 30 days of not logging in? I'm sure I have left it longer than that on occasion to check my mail at hotmail, an accoutn which I have had since before is was MS Hotmail (was it BigFoot or something?) Maybe that has something to do with it.

    As an aside I'm not sure what MS have done to it recently but it's almost compeltely fubarred in any browser other than IE, especially Opera.

  6. Re:I know no one likes a smartypants but ... on Jurassic Web · · Score: 1

    Yes but back then it was a 'kewl link collection', like you say, in the 90's.

  7. Re:Books on Jurassic Web · · Score: 1

    Yeah I remember these. Seemed like a bit of a cash in to me for the folk that just didn't understand what the web was .

  8. Re:Yeah on Jurassic Web · · Score: 1

    Yahoo's human organised and catergoised catergories and links actually used to be a valuable resource and somewhere I'd always check along side altavista of course when doing some new research on something.

  9. Re:I played the closed beta... on Quake Live Open Beta Begins Feb. 24th · · Score: 1

    don't know if you can run about empty maps on quake live like in regular Q3, but it takes about 5 minutes to run round a map and memorise where stuff is. That includes the different game mode (TDM/1on1/ffa) etc

  10. 13 years to the day since QTEST on Quake Live Open Beta Begins Feb. 24th · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I was thinking about this the other day, but QTEST was on fpt servers on Feb 24 1996 - the worlds first glimpse of the awesome 3D game, Quake.

    Of course the actual game didn't come out until June 22 of that year.

    I played QTEST only after the event, as I only got my computer in the summer of '96, and I can still remember hacking about with the arcane text files and hacked utils to get BSP files which allowed me to create a box room and run about in it with a monster or something. This was before graphical level editors were widely available.

    He's making fat cash, yet he doesn't want to pay for a single fucking game. Meanwhile, I have bought every game for my 360 (a lot of arcade titles), and I don't even have time to play the ones I could afford. That's no small pile, mind you

    Firstly, what does the amount of cash someone earns have to do with A) whether they pirate and B) how much they pirate and C) How many genuine copies they buy?

    Secondly Why are you spendning money on these games that you yourself admit you have no time to play?

    Just pirate them and be done with it.

    it's posted to nearly every story. I've certainly seen a it a few times now. I guess who ever modded it felt the same. It was funny the first time.

  14. Waste of time? on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why don't you guys just install a proper rooftop / loft aerial and get a decent signal without all the fiddling? In the UK all most buildings where people live have an aerial and tv points in the rooms, in the same way each room has power sockets.

    Holy crap! I thought you were joking but this is one of the most geekiest things I ever saw on slashdot.

    I see the mac and the kitchen sink made it on to 1986's card.

  20. Re:A thank-you! (and some questions) on Seagate Firmware Update Bricks 500GB Barracudas · · Score: 1
    Thanks for the speedy and informative reply. It's the only drive in my system and I have noticed the system pausing for a few secs, but it happens rarely and *could* have been a 100% CPU situation.....but it is a C2D.. Obviously I'll keep waiting for this solution to be resolved..

    I copied 600G of data onto it over the last couple days from a 100Mb/s server, and didn't notice a prob.

  22. Re:5D Mark II... Sweet! on The Presidential Portrait Goes Digital · · Score: 1

    Whether or not you are exagerating as some replies make out, I don't care - but surely for amateur use things like this : http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2326 make for a compelling argument.

    Opera does it the best way of any browser...

    If you run at 1920x1200 and put magnification to 150%, it's exactly like using a 1024x768 browser, only muc bigger and the fonts are all nice and smooth.

    If, for some reason, the page does go wider than you want, just hit 'fit-to'width' and it squashes it back to the browser width. It's fanstastic.
