  1. Re:I think... on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 1

    I suggest you to use a Lotus Notes client then. While not as pretty and sometimes not intuitive as Outlook, it does everything you said and more, and it is secure as a brick.

    So why don't you install and use another mail client?

  3. Re:What link??? is slashdot censored??? on Building A Low-Budget TiVo Substitute? · · Score: 1

    It's not censored, it's still in the signature, you probably turned off viewing signatures. But I really don't recommend you to check it (I had once done in a very unlucky day).

    That's because "the predicted death of Moore's law doubles every 18 months".

    Hotmail is younger than 10 anyway...

  7. Re:Features on First Sony PSP Pictures Revealed · · Score: 1

    It DOES have 802.11b, so maybe you can download MP3s to the device?

    Maybe, but it has only 8 MB of memory...

    Maybe it's another way for sony to make money by selling a burner for these proprietary discs.

    That would make the PSP game pirates' life easier...

  8. Re:It's questionable on Google Rebuffs Microsoft Takeover Bid · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has thousands of employees and 50 bil in the bank, which pretty much allows them to develop any search technology they want and hire the best people in the industry.

    Yes, but you'll still have to compete with Google.

    Larry Page (hence PageRank).

  10. Re:Wow! on Amazon Launches Full Text Book Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google has a prior art for this, and maybe they have the patent too:

    Google Catalogs

  11. Re:Indexing mechanism on Amazon Launches Full Text Book Search · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, but searching pages scanned/OCR'ed and highlighting the keywords has been a feature of Google search for a long time:

    Google Catalogs (Beta)

    It's very probable that they licensed the Catalog Search technology from Google.

  12. Re:The C64 was definitely more fun on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    If you do the timings correctly (by counting the CPU cycles in your routine!), you could even place sprites in the side borders.

  13. Re:The C64 was definitely more fun on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    C64 actually had 64KB of RAM. Games were able to use most of it (excluding screen buffer, 0-page etc).

    But, if you had to use BASIC, the memory was limited because of the space occupied by BASIC interpreter.

  14. Re:Music on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    Something similar was shipped with some HP scanners. You could listen a few tunes from your scanner.

    We should also change the definition of a byte to 10-bits...

    How many MP3's would you like to keep with you while you are travelling? 12? 15? Is that enough?

  17. Re:Commercial App part Re:not very good "prior art on Can Lotus Notes R3 Prior Art Save The Browser? · · Score: 1

    I just didn't get the "commercially valuable" part. It was (and still is) an important part of Notes. We the consultants used embedding Excel into Notes in many projects for our customers.

  18. Re:Cloning Notes: Another Linux Train Wreck on Linux Intranet Application and Collaboration Software? · · Score: 1

    Actually, there is a standart way of sorting in Notes: It is called a view. Since the views are automatically sorted and indexed, if you collect documents from a view they will be already sorted.
