  1. TV? on Mitnick Ordered Off Lecture Circuit · · Score: 1

    I doubt a TV could be used to hack... no telnet, and i doubt you could install a *nix on it.... even if the (obviously dipshit, seeing as how she looked at internet access) judge meant WebTV, it's doubtful. but maybe the folks at NetBSD.org are working on it ;)

  2. Anyone Know About Escape Velocity? on Limited Edition Terminus For Order · · Score: 1

    No, no, not how fast you have to go in order to get outta this wretched planet's atmosphere, this game from Ambrosia Software. It's pretty cool. Seems like this game is what has been begged for a thousand times on the BBS at escape-velocity.com, a 3-D EV. Unfortunately, EV is only for the Mac, but if you want to get sheepshaver (or have it) then check it out!

  3. Slightly offtopic on Component DVD/MP3 Player for $170 · · Score: 1

    In The Matrix, Neo stored data(?) on minidiscs. anyone know of a data MD writer? that would have a really high just-plain-cool-and-futuristic rating. kung fu on a smartmedia card?!

  4. Dumb idea... on Is H.R.1907 Patent Reform that We Want? · · Score: 1

    Well, as soon as my lawyer is finished, i'm gonna patent the human genome and charge everyone for existing. or i could just sue. har har, what wonderful things lawyers are good for. i also agree with the guy who wants 3-year software patents, because most software is obsolete after 3 years. after that, would it become public domain, or open source?

  5. Yech... AOL CDs on Man To Live In House for One Year · · Score: 1

    i shudder at the very thought of eating AOL CDs. maybe he'll be able to do a pushup or something. i can't.

  6. A sad, sad case of Dan Quayle syndrome on Pick Your Own Net Person Of The Year · · Score: 1

    yes, he did do all that you said for the internet, but don't forget he's a ... dipshit.

  7. Tiger R-Zone on Wearables From IBM Japan · · Score: 1

    oh, look! This looks like a Tiger (the guys who made all those hand-held, not-quite-up-to-gameboy-standards games for 10 bucks) R-Zone, with a better screen, and, well, everything. hmmmm... methinks i could slap a pentium on that R-Zone i got. off topic a bit, but i like this: Cats from mars! hilarious!

  8. apologies for my crappy sig. HTML... on Wearables From IBM Japan · · Score: 1

    i didn't know i had that on. i think this'll fix it.

  9. Ignorant Question on Wearables From IBM Japan · · Score: 1

    Erm, isn't Linux a variation on Unix, and if so, don't you need to write the OS/software to run on the machine? Wouldn't that mean you'd have to buy one of these things and pick it apart to find out how to run *nix on it? Btw: Mac OS 9 is grossly unstable on my PowerBook G3 (bronze keyboard). Any insight? I think Linux is the way to go...
