  1. Creative Nomand + SmartMedia Card Reader on Where are the non-SDMI MP3 Players? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have a usb card reader that allows a SmartMedia to be used as a file system. I copy the files onto that card and slide the card into the nomad. I use the card reader for my camera as well. It's a great solution.

  2. Yahoo! Games on Creative Games sans Violence? · · Score: 1

    Always a fun, violence free place to chill.

  3. Re:SOAP!!! on Making The Case For Open Groupware · · Score: 1

    Hah! SOAP only fixes the data transfer/formatting problems. It doesn't do anything to help interact with the user/servers.. (ie. an actual program).

  4. Re:Removing the ads on Justin Frankel of Nullsoft Hacks AIM · · Score: 1

    Sweet! I always enjoy seeing big companies' ads get "misplaced" somehow!

  5. Other OSes? on IBM's $45 Linux Server (Well, Kinda) · · Score: 1
    What about VAX/VMS boxes?

    I know a couple of Universities that are stuck with them (and have no idea what do to with them - other than let the CS students play..)

  6. State of Nature? on U.S. Wants Large Cyberpolicing Powers · · Score: 2

    What ever happened to the ages-old philosophy of the state of nature? I thought that nations were in a state of nature with each other (in that, there isn't anything that governs their behavior toward each other and that each nation is a sovereign power).. So, it seems that the US is infringing upon each nation's sovereignity.. Yes, it is true that there are things like the UN and the Geneva convention, but these are agreements/contracts among nations and do not infringe upon the sovereignity of these nations.

    This needs to be nipped in the bud before it ever really gets started (the snowball effect)!

    An international "cyber-police" organization seems like the most likely candidate to police the internet, however, is it really necessary to "police" the 'net? If a "hacker" broke in and commited some cyber-crime, it should be the responsibility of the victim to track down the hacker and inform the police in that country. I don't really know anything about internation law, but I think the victim could still file charges..

    Of course, the above senario would require cyber-laws in each country. But that could be taken care of by an internation recommendational committee or the like.. Is Hobbes really wrong about the state of nature?
