  1. Re:Speaking of doomed companies... on Preliminary Ruling Limits Scope of Rambus Patents · · Score: 1

    Their stock is dropping because they're being sued for artificial stock inflation. That's actually two ways it's dropping. One by being sued, and secondly by the deflation.

  2. Re:competition underway... on Preliminary Ruling Limits Scope of Rambus Patents · · Score: 2
    10% is not likely. Calculate this:

    RDRAM - PC600, 16 bit
    SDRAM - PC133, 64 bit

    600 x 16 = 9600
    133 x 64 = 8152

    Now imagine DDR SDRAM, which is almost twice as fast since it reads and writes at the same time. RDRAM is just not worth it.

    Your mother never gave you a hammer? You turn the stuck piece on the side and hit it briefly. It loosens up quite a bit and you can pull it apart with you fingernails (if you have them).

  5. Re:SWEET. on Lego CAD · · Score: 1
    I think what it's for is not to simulate Lego, but design for it and you can build it after you're done...I could be wrong and you have full rights to hit me if I am.

    I used to make catapults in Lego and attack my brother's castles to try to knock his guys off the walls...those were the days...

  7. Re:Humor. Me. on New Atari Jaguar Game Running $1,225 on eBay · · Score: 1

    eBay does not keep going while there are bids coming. It closes the auction after a certain time. No matter how much you bid, it'll still go out at the set time (little over a day at the time of this writing).

    Dude, Digital Theatre is about movies. You think he know less than a substantial amount?

    Yeah, and I don't eat pizza and twinkies every day. Heck, I can't concentrate 16 hours a day.

  12. They just don't stop with the DVD stuff! on ESR on the DVD Control Association · · Score: 1

    I think they are overly worried about their protection that they aren't working on making it better. If they advanced, the crackers, etc. would have a harder time catching up.

  13. Re:I'll give you a clue: on Software Version Numbering After 2000? · · Score: 1

    But most people who say it refer to it as a short cut to Slashdot. I thought that's what the question was...The poster said something to the effect of "What is that /. thing...(stuff here)...people are always saying it" or something like that. I'm too lazy to check.

  14. Just a rumour... on Software Version Numbering After 2000? · · Score: 1

    I heard that Windows NT was getting Windows 2000, and the Windows 9X series was getting Windows Millennium...Don't quote me on it, though. I don't remember the source.

    If everyone pulls off their site, the internet may be less used, which means /. will load several times faster.

  20. Re:I don't know how many times we're going to... on Interview: The L0pht Answers · · Score: 1

    Maybe it doesn't make them something else, but a malicous "hacker" is called a "cracker" and therefore is no longer a "hacker"...yes, I know, many arguments about that, but try convincing a real hacker of that.

  21. That's a joke, right? on Interview: The L0pht Answers · · Score: 1
    I find a few things wrong with that:
    1. Warez is not hacking. It's pirating/cracking.
    2. Hackers do not throw their email out.
    3. 99.9% of hackers know better than to use AOL.
    4. Getting "hacking programs" means you're a script-kiddie, not a hacker.
    5. I didn't quite get the second to the last sentence, so I can't comment on it.
