  1. Mario Golf? on 20 Titles At Revolution Launch · · Score: 1

    I don't know about anyone else here, but Mario Golf is by far my fave. Nintendo game... hopefully we will see a new version pop out after the Revolution release? :-)

  2. There is hope! on World's Most Expensive Mp3 Player · · Score: 1
    The best MP3 player I've been able to find that is comparable to the iPod is the Neuros II Digital Audio Computer.

    The only downsides are:

    • they are discontinuing the Neuros II
    • Neuros III may not be out for a while.. :-(
    • they are a little bunky :-S

    I still want one... but I am a poor "Web 1.0" developer...
  3. Re:This is 1st generation on Holographic Storage Crams in 0.5TB Per Square Inch · · Score: 1
    First, this is one "plate" compared with 5 plates of the 500 gig hard drives.

    But seagate has 160GB platters... :-P

  4. Nice... on Amanda 2.5 Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    ... I've been looking for something like this. Thank you Slashdot. :-)

  5. finally... on Online Vendors with Cool Tools for Builders? · · Score: 1

    ... I can build a custom copper heatsink for my machines. :-)

  6. Thanks but... on World's Slimmest Phone · · Score: 1

    ... I'll stick to my bulky but functional LG 5400. :-)

  7. Hmmm on CentOS 4.3 Multi-Platform Release · · Score: 1, Redundant
    I've been looking into using CentOS for a webserver... just to try it out. I am a big Gentoo fan, though.

    I'll be sure to try this release out though. :-)

  8. Neat! on Seven-Ounce Linux 'Wrist PC' · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I think this could go far... but I suppose that is my opinion.

    I actually had a thought of a miniature wrist-type PC with bluetooth. Transmit between your watch and a "full" system and be able to share documents, etc. That'd be neat. :-)

  9. Gentoo? on Should You Pre-Compile Binaries or Roll Your Own? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I feel that Gentoo Linux offers the best of both worlds, with their ebuilds. :-)

  10. Hmm... on Linux Servers Break out of HPC into Enterprise · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always been a fan of building, installing and maintaining my own Linux server. :-)

  11. Re:HP makes phones?? on No 3G for HP Until 2007 · · Score: 1
    I hear ya.

    I suppose I've learned to just ignore anything with the acronym "HP" in the sentence. :-P

  12. Hmmm.... on In Praise of Constant Connectivity · · Score: 1, Interesting
    I'm a freelance web developer.

    I generally do most of my work between the hours of 5:00pm - 5:00am the next morning.

    Without constant connection to the internet, I don't know where I'd be.

  13. Linux? on Robotic 'Pack Mule' with Impressive Reflexes · · Score: 0

    but can it run linux? :-P

  14. Re:Planning? on Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access · · Score: 0
    I am from Canada, and live in a fairly small city. We have some really small communities right around here. I feel it would be more like this:

    *pick up phone and call the local Mayor*
    "Hey Bobbeee, I'm aboot to build a huge ass tower in my backyard. Can I get permission?"
    "How come, eh?"
    "Damn church is blocking my porn[read: internet] signal, eh."
    "I'll bring the beer and matches, if you bring the gasoline, eh?"

    Don't you love how us Canadians can take pride in laughing at ourselves, yet when it comes to the US, they tend to get all bitchy? ;-)

  15. POP3 access. :-) on Teenage Blogger Finds Gmail Hole · · Score: 0
    I use the Gmail POP3 access via Thunderbird 1.5.

    I don't believe this will affect me in any way. :-)

  16. Re:PLEASE!!!!!!! on AMD Subpoenas Skype · · Score: 0

    Not a part of the OpenH323 project, but WengoPhone may catch your attention. :-)

  17. Re:Just wait until it gets "upgraded" by users on AMD Subpoenas Skype · · Score: 0

    Or use OpenWengo. :-)

  18. ALTERNATIVE TO SKYPE! on AMD Subpoenas Skype · · Score: 0

    OpenWengo... It's open source. :-)

  19. Re:koders on Search Engine For Coders to Launch · · Score: 0

    EEEK! I cannot trust it. It appears to be written in ASP or ASP.NET. Yuck. How can it be written in such a horrible language and be used for open source?

  20. Re:On your hard drive? on How Do You Store Your Previously-Written Code? · · Score: 0

    Or how about: /home/user/code/play/ /home/user/code/work/

    ? :-)

  21. Re:My way: on Build a Homemade Media Center PC · · Score: 0

    DAMNIT! Forgot to post as Plain Text:

    I am in the process of building a PRV/HTPC system. I went a slightly different route:

    ** NOTE: Canadian Prices **

    - Obtained an old, broken DVD player and gutted it(APEX AD-1500) for the casing. (FREE)
    - VIA EPIA-M10000 Mother board [$230]
    - Mini-Box 200 watts Power Supply [$90]
    - Pioneer DVD-/+RW [$45]
    - 512MB SODIMM RAM [$75]
    - 250GB hard drive [$120]
    - Some odds and ends... [$20]
    - MythTV [FREE]

    Total: $580 :-)

    The reason I am choosing an old DVD player as a case, is I don't like the ugly cases available. I don't need 2 5" bay slots, and I don't need any 3.5" bay slots. I want something small, simple, and looks like a usual DVD player. :-)

    Works fine for me. :-)

  24. Re:On the other hand... on Build a Homemade Media Center PC · · Score: 1

    To my understanding, MythTV uses xine for the video stuff. So just install the codecs you expect yourself to be using, and you're good to go. :-)

  25. Re:error on Build a Homemade Media Center PC · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Hehe... Leave it to MS to develop a buggy scripting language.
