  1. Re:Can't wait for 3d game boy :) on Nintendo GameCube Preview · · Score: 1

    You can actually get them pretty cheap now. The system and all 10 games for under 150 probably. Thats not TOO bad, as long as you know what your getting and dont expect too much.

    An anonymizer wouldn't help you much because this devices is installed between you and your ISP, they coudl still see everything unless it's encrypted

    They probably have no clue what 2600 is... Do most people out there besides geeks even know what DeCSS is? Try this, walk around your town and find 10 people at random and ask them if they know what DeCSS is, I guarantee that unless you live in some majot hightech city that maby 1 person will know, the others will jsut give you a stupid look. I doubt that the fact he was employeed by 2600 had anything to do with his arrest.

    I bet Apple could make the voting booths.. the iVoter :) It could come in nice warm fuzzy colors :) that is if you REALLY want it to be transparent :)

    So whats to stop a physical element from being added to the electronic one? Someone touches the screen, it gets recoreded electronicaly, and a small paper ballot, jsut like the ones sued now, is punched by the computer and dropped into the box. That way we have fast accurate results, and a papertrail to recount if we need to.

    I thought the "big bang theory" said that all matter was concentrated into a single point. If thats true then there wern't any galaxyies around to be 'closer' then any others.

    I agree that he should be a hero for what he did at homecoming, but you are forgetting what else the artical states... gun possession, willfull destruction of school property, committing violent acts. I think these were the real issues that he was suspended for.

  13. Re:Guess what on Mars May Be Dry After All · · Score: 1
    This is very, very unlikely. Where there is liquid water, there is usually life. Life is made up of the most common elements in the universe, and for life to exist all you really need is water and some basic primordial soup. The chances of Mars never having had even the lowest form of bacteria are incredibly slim.
    I thought the earth was the only place we have found liquid water so far? I don't think there is a large enough base of evidence to say that whever there is liquid water then there is usually life
  14. you can still have a homepage button! on AOL 6.0 Client: We'll Be Your Home Page, Thanks · · Score: 1

    Anout half-way through the article it states that when you visit a webpage a small hear icon appiers, if you drag this icon to anyplace ont eh tool bar it creates a button that goes directly to that page. This sounds like they give you the option of creating as many 'homepage buttons' as you want. I hate AOL as much as anyone here, but I like things to be fair... aol hasn't taken away anything, although they ares till evil.

  15. Re:Isn't the moon a planet? on New 'Planet' Discovered in Solar System · · Score: 1

    Look at you deffinition again, it says it should independently orbit a star. I think the fact that it orbits the earth rules it out.

  16. Re:reliable ? on Patch To Allow Linux To Use Defective DIMMs · · Score: 1

    hmmm.. Good point, I'v never actually ran the test. But you fsck comment gave me an idea. What if the memory test was done at the same time as fsck after the computer crashed? I doubt fsck takes up much of the computer's bandwidth because the drives are so slow. It should easly be able to check the memory durring that time. Since bad memory is likely to cause the system to crash why not examine it just like the filesystem after it does crash?

  18. Re:Questionable conclusions on Bulletin: The Net Isn't Dehumanizing! · · Score: 1

    they didn't ask friends and family, they asked moms and dad what effect they thought it had on thier children. Because we all know that children can't be trusted to know this stuff on thier own. I couldn't find anything in there where it says they asked friends and family about someone, just that they asked that someone if they felt they were being ignored. This was hardly a scientific study, just look at who was funding it, people with a big stake in the future of the internet.

  19. Re:Hack Carnivore Challenge on Carnivore Demo Report · · Score: 1
    "We rely on the ISP's security [for the security of the Carnivore box]." Is it just me, or does that statment just give you instant wood? Based on current ISP security and the willingness of 31337 h4xx0rz to plunder whatever and whenever they can, I'm willing to bet that at some point in the not-too-distant future we're going to hear of a Carnivore box being 0wn3d. I can just see it now:
    I don't think this statement has anything to do with the box being hacked, or anything to even do with teh network for that matter. It sounds more like they say they are relying in the ISP to keep thier dorrs locked and not hand out keys to the building to everyone.

  21. Re:reliable ? on Patch To Allow Linux To Use Defective DIMMs · · Score: 1

    I'm guesing that the memtest86 discussed in the article will be integrated into the boot up of the system. That way if more memory goes bad it will detect it, block that part out, and reboot. I guess that eventually you will have to replace the chip, but it's better then paying the full price.

    2)Becoming qualified enough to fly one. You can't just let any fool fly an aircraft - they're dangerous! But, in the future I would expect the job to be done by computers, which negates this little awkwardness.
    For a few terrifying seconds there I had an image of someone inserting an AOL CD into thier flying car. Because, really, that's the only way most 'normal' people will end up flying something like that. I don't even want to be on the same Internet with those people, let alone up in the sky.
