  1. Re:faster than light speed? on Researchers Break Internet Speed Records · · Score: 1

    All of the data is sent in a chunk. What you need to look at is how 'long' this information has to travel to have gone its own length, then add that to 107ms.

  2. 'in a protected environment'. on Sony Takes on YouTube with Video-Sharing Site · · Score: 1

    This is news?

  3. Re:Home Basic on MS Offers Vista Upgrade Pricing To All · · Score: 1

    Most of the Vista OEM PC's i've seen have had Home Premium by default simply because of the extremely crippled Basic.

  4. Re:Why Upgrade at all? on Is Windows Vista in Trouble? · · Score: 1

    XP adds nothing for me , Vista adds less. I was considering going back to 2K, no idea if nV still release drivers for win2k though.

  5. Re:Gee I'd like to listen on RMS Protest Song On Gitmo · · Score: 1

    You visit Slashdot and use WMP? :P

  6. Why does this matter? on Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens · · Score: 1

    Green groups will complain no matter what. It's the same sort of people that don't want wind turbines in their beautiful fields that they don't even LIVE in, the view from the road (mmm gas guzzlers) will be ruined. Fuck the hell off. If nuclear is even 10% greener that should cover the deficit in building a new plant etc and is GOOD.

  7. Seriously? on Top 10 Internet Crimes of '06 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Net crime and no mention of piracy? Glad to see they're accepting it as a non-crime now :)

  8. Re:why is the demand so high? on Wii Shortages Could Last For Months · · Score: 1

    You can still buy used nes/snes games at a lot of retailers. Morals come before the law with victimless crimes (i'm referring to it being illegal to download a copy of software you already own).

  9. Re:Too early on Details of Next Gen Zune Surface · · Score: 1

    That's not the point.. it's no trouble to dock/plug in your player at home. But to think people will carry a GameBoy-esque "link-cable" around to transfer with their friends/whatever.... hmm ;) Microsoft bargain on people sending songs to their friends via WiFi, currently a lot of people I know trade songs via bluetooth enabled phones, I know i've at least 'bought' a few albums i've heard material from this way.

  10. Hey what's that option there? on P2P Program to Match Files to Product Origin · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds risky. *Scrolls past to the Download option*

  11. A lot of parenting is hypocritical on You Played Violent Games - Why Can't Your Kids? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As humans we are not perfect, it's like telling your kids to buckle down in school knowing full well you never did all the time.

  12. Apple don't already have a 16GB Flash model. on Hacker Replaces iPod HDD With Flash Memory · · Score: 1

    They have the 8gb Nano but no higher.

  13. Countless projects.. on Gaim Renamed — Now Pidgin IM · · Score: 1

    Have names similar to what you suggest, think of things like FreeDOS...

  14. The acronym seems good at least. on Gaim Renamed — Now Pidgin IM · · Score: 1

    pIM? Heh. Seems strange that basically one letter can be trademarked though.

  15. MMO's being a "grind". on WoW Players Targeted By Windows Flaw Exploit · · Score: 1

    When will people realise this is basically the whole POINT of an MMO? You grind to gain better items. That is the underlying principle of an MMORPG.

    Want a game where you can jump into the action on an equal playing field? FPS's are out there, as are RTS, etc.
    If everyone started at 70 on WoW the game would become incredibly boring. PvP? Why? No rewards except pride.

  16. One step closer to... on Haptics Technology Turns Phones into Weapons · · Score: 1

    Becoming rich and famous after inventing a device that allows you to punch people in the face over the Internet!

  17. Re:Proprietary formats? on Raymond Knocks Fedora, Switches to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Synaptic can add multiverse so you don't have to edit the files manually, though yes, it's still more than 'out-of-the-box' support

  18. Two words. on What Solar Equipment to Power Disaster Recovery? · · Score: 1

    Wind power.

  19. Wicked Lasers on GameStop Short PS3s For Launch Day · · Score: 1

    They should be ashamed.

  20. Biased questions on FTC's Game Teaches Social Networking Skills · · Score: 1

    Some of the questions are rather biased, what's wrong with giving someone your first name? I had to answer a fair few 'wrongly' to finish the game

  21. Detectability? on Yahoo's Time Capsule Project · · Score: 1

    If you saw a short flash of light outside the window, even if you were curious enough... it's too late now, it's gone. How can we expect 'them' to be monitoring this?

  22. Re:For the truely demented on Modded DS Adds Hard Drive For Some Reason · · Score: 1

    Largest memory sticks available currently are 4Gb. 1.50 firmware (used for most homebrew on PSP) is limited to 4gb as far as i know (even if you try an 8gb microdrive in the cf adaptor)

  23. Hmm... on MythTV Compared with Windows Media Center · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So their favorite color isn't blue?

  24. Yay on PSP to Get Classic Game Download Service · · Score: 1

    So users can either upgrade to 3.0 and play PS1 games, or stay on 1.5 and emulate SNES, GBA, Genesis, NeoGeo, or even (gasp) pirate PSP games (and probably get the 3.0 psx emulator sooner or later anyway) Sony aren't going to pull away the homebrew crowd so easily.

  25. Ignorance on California Passes Wi-Fi Guidance Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, these stickers will still be ignored just like EULA's, software manuals, etc.
