  6. Re:Same bugs? on Mozilla Releases Firefox 3 Beta 4 · · Score: 1

    Do you loose the entire scroll function or just the scroll bar? Using the arrow keys, page up/down or space bar....? Also I know firefox cannot support the scroll bar theme that some websites try to issue (IE does support scroll bar themes), maybe the sites you view turn off the default scroll bar in order to display there own as a sort of firefox work around? Don't quote me on any of this, just heard bits through the grapevine

  7. Re:I'll adopt... on HD-DVD and the Early Adopter Premium · · Score: 1

    i'll second that, my 24" 1920x1200 monitor, torrents and mplayer do just fine for me.

    torrents can be substituted with ftp if you know someone in the circle ;)

  8. Re:a little weird on A Modular Snake Robot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem we are at is that any robots we make have crap movement and physical structure but we can 100% control their brain.
    On the alternative, live animals have the movement we desire sadly we have yet to 100% control their brains.

  12. Re:This won't help the xbox on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 1

    I more or less agree. If HD-DVD licensing company had been wise enough to allow microsoft to add a HD-DVD as standard to the xbox then i'm pretty sure the 2 years head start would have allowed HD-DVD to win. Thus, by allowing microsoft to implement HD-DVD tech for free/cheap would have benefited HD-DVD in the long run.
    Giving things away for free is not allways a bad business idea...
    Microsoft turn a blind eye to the Windows XP/Vista piracy in 3rd world countries as it's just another way to stop the end user for taking up *nix.

  13. Re:Convenience vs Performance on In-Home Wireless Vs. Mobile Broadband · · Score: 1

    I work for an ISP an we have a be-unlimited rack here. They only have a 100MB pipe to their rack. I wonder how many users they share that between? Ever checked your contention ratio?
    Don't get me wrong though, i would love to switch to BEUnlimited, that 2.5MB up would be a dream come true. Only problem is that I would have to pay £10 a month for a BT phone line that i would not use...VirginMedia 20MB suits me.

  15. Music, Videos, Programs will always be copied. on Microsoft Pushes Copyright Education Curriculum · · Score: 0, Troll

    I know that copying music is illegal, so will the kids before this and after this. We all know copying music is illegal, why try to educate me more on something i care to know little about. I know it's wrong, that's enough for me.

    Note to the MPAA: This statement does not indicate that I copy music, purely that I know it's illegal ;)
