  2. Interesting math here... on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just replaced an overloaded 235W with a 300. 235 in an oversized atx. What _were_ they thinking? The 300 people were nice enough to reverse the fan.

  3. Interesting math here... on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    The RAM is PC100

    The monitor? No, it wouldn't be as good as the imac. The imac is $999 IIRC, not $600, sooo

    The case? Why is that bad? It doesn't need to do much. Cases are important, but not for joe Bob user (I have a cool In Win Q500 Super death tower).

  4. Interesting math here... on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    Ok, were at $528.

    Generic NE2000 ~15
    Modem- ~40
    Speakers- ~20
    IR is on most MB's.
    SB 16- ~15
    Keybd- ~5
    Mouse- ~10

    sooo $633. Bump the 400 down to a 366 and we are less than $550. Don't get me wrong though, this system would suck. I'm just saying that it is possible. Besides, Apple has a bonus because their parts are cheaper.

  5. I'm not saying it's a home computer... on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    He just said do that for $600. I did. The monitor? Bump it up to the $999 imac price, and you can get a _good_ 17 incher. The imac is a good home system, I'm not arguing that.

    Diamond LX MB + 400 MHz Celeron A- $179
    Maxtor 6.4GB Hard drive- $114
    32MB RAM- $31
    24x cdrom- $29
    Diamond Viper 330 (Riva 128 3D)- $47
    15" - $100
    Case- $28

    Total $528

    Add in misc software and there is a $600 roughly equivalent system.

    All prices are from pricewatch.com

  7. Imac is a great design idea on Dell is Building iMac Lookalikes · · Score: 1

    Until the break the cdrom drive. The whole thing comes out upon ejection, so it's super breakable.

  8. They would flood us and be easily detectable on SETI@Home For Linux · · Score: 1

    We'd find them easily with no need for this.

  9. Sounds like a waste of time on SETI@Home For Linux · · Score: 1

    Within X ly, there are no civs X years ahead of us. If there were, we'd be flooded with reruns of I Love Zorblak. All of the trekies in the world with this software won't change that.

  10. Nor is the comic on Linux on Dilbert · · Score: 0

    Saw it monday.

  11. What The He He? on The Myth of QWERTY · · Score: 1

    No. He did say we should lose the Caps lock. That guy sucks.

  12. I dislike the QWERTY on The Myth of QWERTY · · Score: 1

    It _is_ slow. I tried dvorak for a while. Horrible to learn by jumping into it. I'm saving all of that effort for the Maltron keyboard, which is far superior (and $430). Coolness comes with a price.

  13. 300 hefty novels?? on IBM and Mp3 · · Score: 1

    Lets say you are on a trip. Instead of your computer and 3 or 4 books, you carry just your computer (or whatever it is). You can read just the same, and have more packing room. I wish I could get all of my books (and the ones I am too lazy to checkout) on disks.

  14. Ah, those were the days... on How Doom got its Name (from John Carmack interview) · · Score: 1

    Seems like they don't care about 1st person anymore. Q3 is only multiplayer. I hope it bombs terribly. They need to get off of their asses and make a new game. I would have thought that halflife might have knocked some sense into them, but I guess not.

  15. Ah, those were the days... on How Doom got its Name (from John Carmack interview) · · Score: 1

    Same here. Everyone says doom is outdated. Who cares if you can't jump? No game has touched doom (on the computer anyway) and probably no game will.

  16. People are idolizing RMS, Linus, etc too much on Feature:On the Subject of RMS · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but we should give credit where credit is due.

  17. And let the flamewar begin... on Feature:On the Subject of RMS · · Score: 1

    I think GNU / Linux rolls off the tounge better.

  18. People are idolizing RMS, Linus, etc too much on Feature:On the Subject of RMS · · Score: 1

    People talk about how cool Linus is, he's "The man", now RMS is really popular... Why? No one says anything about all of the other people who make GNU / Linux possible. Linus isn't Linux and RMS isn't GNU.

  19. I loved the simpsons but... on Matt Groening's "Futurama" featured in Salon · · Score: 2

    It got _really_ played out. The same old predictable jokes time and time again. I wonder if Futurama will continue this? As for the simpsons, it would have been better to stop it while it was still funny. Now it's just stupid.

  20. Olemiss demanded I stop my mp3 server on MP3s Causing Decline in CD Sales? · · Score: 1

    Or they would comfiscate my computer. Pure bullshit.

  22. RMS Immature? on RMS Immature, Slashdot and Community Arrogant? · · Score: 1

    It's kind of like calling a modem a dem (modulator/demodulator). It's only half right.

  23. Sound Server? on Interview w/ Dave "Zoid" Kirsch about Linux Quake · · Score: 1

    adduser SuperDave audio

    That will let SuperDave do audio things with out changing the permissions.

  24. Pentium III? What about Septium? on Pentium III (Katmai) on Monday? · · Score: 1

    p3 is 786, right? Septium sounds a lot cooler.
