  1. Better than replacing it with a buggy horse.

  2. Thanks for this time.. on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    I read Chips & Dips, and when that newfangled thing called Slashdot came along I kept reading.

    Thanks for stuff.

  3. Re:More Bike Tips on Rob Levin, lilo of FreeNode, Passes · · Score: 1

    Also illegal in some countries. Flashing lights are for vehicles like police and ambulance, they draw too much unconscious attention to them which can cause you to not notice other things in the traffic. (For comparison, try reading text on a web site with a flashing ad banner next to it)

  4. Fluids in keyboards... on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    After a guy poured some brown sparkling fluid into a keyboard (which stopped working), he wrote the following:

    (translation: I will not pour cola into keyboards)

  5. Re:All What? on The Fiber to the Premises Install Process · · Score: 1

    The fiber is much faster than that, but is according to the article capped to either 15 or 20 Megabit per second depending on which part of the article you read. For instance, "1.7Gigabyte in 12 minutes" is roughly 19Megabit/s. Please read the article and do your math.

  6. Are we supposed to be impressed with 15Mbit fiber? on The Fiber to the Premises Install Process · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For instance, turn the clock back 5 years and the bandwidth up by 6.7x and you get the old slashdot article http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/08/215523 8 which was about some people in the town I live in..

  7. Re:why "build" your own array? on Fibre Channel Storage? · · Score: 1

    Veritas Volume Manager (vxvm), not Veritas Netbackup or somesuch.

  8. Direct http mirror here on Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography · · Score: 4, Informative
  9. Re:Actually, on the new IIIx and V units, its safe on Overclock Your Palm · · Score: 1

    I do NOT recommend overclocking the pilots.. I tried EcoHack at 23Mhz on my PalmV, and I noticed that the graphics in Lemons and Dragonbane was fsck'd up! I went down to 16mhz and after maybe 5-10 minutes, it became normal again.

    Don't!
