  1. Re:Not particularly massive... on Coca-Cola Reserves a Massive Range of MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    So all three are right. I posted looking at it as them using one out of sixteen million available. /8 is looking at it as having 16 million unique addresses. /16 is looking at it as half of the bits available.

  2. Not particularly massive... on Coca-Cola Reserves a Massive Range of MAC Addresses · · Score: 5, Informative

    They were allocated a single 3-byte OUI, or prefix. When you realize that 16 million OUIs were originally available, it's like making a big deal that a company was granted a /24 IP range.

  3. calendar, calendar, calendar on Researchers Claim Facebook Is 'Dead and Buried' To Many Young Users · · Score: 1

    Just wait for College to start. Of the social media tools available, there's nothing better for calendar and social event management.

    How do you quickly invite tens, dozens, hundreds of people to a party, rally, debate, play, show, election orsports event and keep them in the loop for time, location, theme updates? What tool do you use to maintain membership to a dozen groups, academic, social, or otherwise?

    There's a lot of fluff to Facebook, but for certain use cases, it is untouched.

  4. Innovation in benchmarking on Ask Slashdot: What Review Sites Do You Consult For IT Equipment? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My go-to sites are those which go beyond the benchmark and get real-world data beyond a 3-minute number crunch.

    HardOCP had their custom heatsink with the thermo-probe for more reliable temperature measurement.

    Techreport has been phenomenal over the years in this. They built a custom PSU tester to test the loads of any or all of the rails at once. Then they had their "inside the second" articles diving in to frame latency, which led to better Radeon drivers. More recently, and still running, is their SSD deep-cycle test, which is already showing blocks beginning to fail on SSDs.

    The innovation factor and time taken to really dive in are things I don't see elsewhere.

  5. Cable untangling on Ask Slashdot: Hands-On Activity For IT Career Fair · · Score: 1

    Tangle a bunch of old parallel port and VGA cables with CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 cables, plus SATA and some DVI. Time them to get you the SATA cables and 3 CAT6 cables.

  6. Well, not *FULLY* functional on Man Builds Fully-Functional Boeing 737 Flight Simulator In His Son's Bedroom · · Score: 2
  7. Giving notice on How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day? · · Score: 1

    Didn't know it was Sysadmin day, but I, the Sysadmin, am giving notice and moving on to another IT firm.

  8. Future fighter pilots on Weebots: Driveable Robots For Babies Who Need Them · · Score: 1

    Who needs to train them to ever get up and walk? Just let them sit in larger and larger, more responsive chairs. They'll fly our jets with better reaction time than our top guns. Oh, but make sure there aren't any TABLES IN THE ROOM [Video @2:20]

  9. 3 profiles for me please on Verifying a User By Following the Movements of Their Mouse · · Score: 2

    I'll need to train 3 modes: 1) Optical/Laser mouse 2) Trackpad for my laptops 3) Optical/Laser mouse when I'm eating Cheetos

  10. Melting away? on Mercury Turns Out To Be a Weird Little World · · Score: 1

    Does anybody else think this resembles the result of putting a small, EMPTY, potato chip bag in the microwave for 3-4 seconds? The arcing on the metal instantly melts the plastic, which globs up due to surface tension and shrinks. Try it, you'll like it.

  11. Re:Phone Feature Wishlist on Ask Slashdot: Info On Upcoming Handhelds? · · Score: 1

    I can give you a list of about a dozen phones which fit the bill, other than number 11. You'd be better off with an external Li-Ion battery like Energizer/XPAL. They come in many sizes, the smallest of which holds enough juice to charge an average smartphone to full at least once, in my use usually twice. You may also look into the inductive mats. The battery capacity is reduced a bit, but if you are typically listening to your music in your car or at your desk, you can leave the phone on the mat and it will stay juiced up.

  12. And it traversed the ecosystem... on Gulf Bacteria Quickly Digested Spilled Methane · · Score: 1

    The bacteria were consumed by the plankton, the plankton by fish and crabs, fish and crabs by the birds.. Then the birds fell from the sky and the fish and crabs washed up on shore. Oops.

  13. Don't click the link! on 'Eternal' Solar Plane Stays Two Weeks Aloft · · Score: 1

    The video is two weeks long!!!

  14. Pioneering work indeed on Physicists Discover Universal "Wet-Dog Shake" Rule · · Score: 1

    I hope the Nobel committee has been notified! Now all that they need it to make the doggy-sweater with piezoelectric fibers and we can reduce our fossil fuel dependence. Note to self: invest in IAMS

  15. That's all well and good... on 5-Axis Robot Carves Metal Like Butter · · Score: 3, Funny

    but will it blend?

  16. Just wait til an hour after they leave on Funeral Being Held Today For IE6 · · Score: 1

    There'll be another man, dressed in camo, to walk up and piss on the grave. I may or may not take credit.

  18. OOh an opportunity to Patent-Troll on US Patent Office Fast Tracks Green Patents · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm going to patent the patenting of green patents. That way, while everyone is pursuing the effort to GO green, I'll be EARNING green!

  19. The solution is simple... on UK National ID Card Cloned In 12 Minutes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just ban cell phones and laptop computers!

  20. Windows Home Server + Jungle Disk on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Windows Home Server actually has very good backup options. a)It allows for folder duplication on shared folders, protecting your shared files against a single hard drive failure. b)It allows you to add a hard drive as a backup drive, basically to dump all the shared folders, which can then be taken offsite. c)Jungle Disk has a WHS plugin, and there's an alternate Jungle Disk plugin which is allegedly better on whsplus.com, which provides your online protection. Automated daily backups mated with Volume Shadowing means that not only is your data safe, but previous versions are available too.

  21. Marklar on How Do You Greet an Extraterrestrial? · · Score: 1

    Well, there is a lot of room on Marklar. If Marklar here wants to bring his marklar to Marklar, that would be fine. Just take our marklar back to Marklar and bring all the marklar back with you.
