  1. So obviously a fake! on New Star Trek Series Rumblings · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on - so INCREDIBLY cheesy! - Did you all actually read and parse this. Dear lord. Fake, fake I say!

  2. MP3 Stereos on What Audio System Powers Your Home Theater? · · Score: 1

    My question is does anyone know which are the better mp3 mini-systems and components? I've heard a bit about the irampline, but no one seems to have really reviewed them or others. Anyone know of some good reviews or have any reccomendations?

  3. And the trailer... on Linux and Gnome Go to the Movies · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that the trailer is in quicktime - so those of us running linux can't see the trailer either.

  4. what would be truly impressive on Boogie Bass Hacked · · Score: 1

    Would be if someone put linux on it! Make it sing a song or say something every time your server got a hit. Have it squirm and scream if someone launces a DOS attack against you.

  5. Best of both worlds on Review of the BSD part of MacOS X Beta · · Score: 2

    Then again, if tenon's xtools were free in its final release, as it now is in beta...or some other coca-x server wrapper library that was free is implemented, osx users could get the best of both worlds.

    Granted, newbies aren't going to be out there compiling new apps right and left, but we experienced users can...and then post the binaries, or write small installers, and then...osx==gnu/mac hybrid.

    that's my plan for my next box!

  6. While I enjoy Geeks in space on Product Placement · · Score: 1

    If you are looking for tech commentary, social commentary, and a shitload of wonderful humor, check mbrl and its weblog by creon and rhino - sooooo amusing, I bust a gut every time. But yeah for geeks in space!

  7. smp? tnt? hrmmmm..... on Quake III Arena Demo Test for Linux · · Score: 1

    It looked awesome...until it froze. Does it have issues with either a TNT card? Or smp issues (i remember reading way back that carmack had something aginst smp) - hrm......

  8. recent Sagan origin theory on Liquid Ocean on Europa? · · Score: 1

    I could be a bit off on this, but if memory serves, one of Sagan's more recent origin of life on earth theories said that primitive earth was a frozen ball, much like Europa seems to be now, covered with a skin of water ice, and that organic elements may have been introduced my colliding asteroids, or at least the primitive ocean would have benifited from the heat and chemicals of early impacts.

    it goes on to say that by keeping the ocean liquid underneath with hydrothermal activity in combination with asteroid impacts, this could have lead to an abiogenic formation of life.

    and here we see Europa with an ocean covered by a water ice crust (so it is water underneath, if at all) heated by hydrothermal vent activity, and it has undoubtedly dealt with asteroid impacts...hrmmmm....

  9. distributed game tree anyone? on Gary Kasparov vs. The World · · Score: 1

    Has anyone thought about writting a distributed client to come up with an entire game tree for chess? I mean, yeah it would be huge - but then wouldn't it be interesting to find out the exact paths to victory at every turn - or at least the most likely paths - no more fuzzy logic etc - or maybe I'm just talking out my ass...just a thought, though.

  10. Mesa and Riva on Linux Support for Riva TNT2 · · Score: 1

    The Mesa webpage mentions that Riva support may be coming soo - I personally run off of a Tnt from when I used to run in winblows, and now find that any GL I want is software accelerated :( Has anyone heard whether or not Mesa might end up including Tnt or 128 support?
