  3. Re:Exploding CPU Not Unheard Of. on Your CPU Will Explode · · Score: 1

    My god, my Soundblaster Live Daughtercard caught on fire because it made contact with the case, and the computer was on. I must have got one of those virus 'mp3s' i've been hearing about. God save us!

  4. Re:obviously someone commented w/o reading the msg on BeOS For Linux! · · Score: 1

    Arrrgh Matey, I've used BeOS before, and knew I could install it onto another partition. So, I ran installer, and it froze on a certain file, restarted. Tried again, froze, different file.
    Don't know what to say. Hell, copying the / directory causes it to freeze to.

    An IDE Monitor? that seems quite strange really.

    The store demo is an actual working unit, as soon as you plug it in (check for the sticker on the back) it resets the demo.

  9. Re:Real Computers have serial numbers too! on Intel Giving Away Free Computers To Employees · · Score: 1

    So, what your saying is
    Serial Numbers != Good
    I can just imagine this now

    Police: We retrieved some of the parts to your stolen computer, atleast.. we think they're yours.
    Youse: Well, I had a 14gb seagate harddrive..
    Police: We have about 20 of those, got a serial.. err.. nevermind.. they stopped doing that a few years back
    Youse: Okay, give em here, i'll be back in a couple of hours.
    Police: I'm sorry sir, but if some of those hard drives contain sensitive data, we can't allow you to take them. Unless you can prove that a single one is yours.
    Youse: Awwwh.. crap

    The hard part is getting back.. or, if something like (it was either Niven or Asimov) but where they have huge organ banks, that contain much more than organs, like arms.. eyes.. etc...

  14. Re:Business card media == subversive transport??? on New Business Card Rescue CDs · · Score: 1

    I think they designed this trippy device.. oh.. I dunno.. maybe a decade ago.. called the 3 1/4 inch floppy disk.. and it could hold all sort of neat stuff, in fact.. at one point, the only way ya could install an OS was by one of these, or the older 5 1/2 inch ones.. in fact, I hold in my hand a 3 1/4 floppy disk full of PGP encrypted information. The only real difference is the amount of stuff you can put on them.

  17. Re:Scott Adams' Motivation on The Ultimate Geek Food · · Score: 1

    If he was in it purely for the money he wouldn't be selling health food, his intention may not be the noblest, as he obviously wants to make some money. But instead of selling stuff like Dilbars, the nerd choclate, or Dogbars the pooch food he's trying to help people eat more healthy. This is of course my opinion, and you don't have to believe it.

    Windows can't be a spy tool, its inherently secure, due to its igenious MSMD, More Security through More Downtime.

  20. Re:So much more out there... on Giving Back · · Score: 1

    Just think of all the geeks it would actract if they changed there name to, Geeks Really Into the Streets(GRITS). Even more with Humanitarian Online Teachers & Geeks Really Into the Streets(HOT GRITS). How about a bigger group, North American Techies Association for Lesser Individuals Education(NATALIE). Or even Techies Really On Lots of LSD(TROLL. This post was shamelessly based on another post, something about Packet Monkeys I think.

  21. Re:"Clueless?" on Salon Interview With Head Of MPAA · · Score: 1

    These lawsuits seem more of a wild fury then anything planned. Perhaps its the death throes of something we all know has to die for this BS about American movies being unhobbled, and freely couriered around the world.

  24. Only 65,000? on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    Why, it appears Microsoft has cleaned up there act a little. Why, the amount of bugs for Win95-Win Millenium must number in the millions by now. Thank god for the hard working, dedicated Quality Assurance boys at Microsoft who have worked so hard to keep the number of bugs in this latest product under the 100,000 mark. This just shows that Microsoft isn't the greedy, capitalistic, hoarding company that puts its own agenda before the user. Thank god they have hired professionals to patch up, what is at best a bunch of spaghetti code. A company like Blizzard has the Audacity to delay their product because of a couple of bugs. Other companies should look at the shining example that is Microsoft. Who, will sacrafice a shoddy product just to meet a release date, so Bill Gates can look down upon his deciphels from his big giant video monitors and annouce "Let their be bugs!".
