  1. This is news? on Researcher Only High Bandwidth Network · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I did a paper on this for my introductory networking class LAST YEAR and the topic had been a subject in the class for a few semesters before mine.

  2. Re:Location, location, location.... on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    I heard Warner Robins AFB in Georgia recently had a suicide and 3 homicides (from some crazy love triangle). So yeah, I wouldn't feel any safer there no matter what the circumstances were.

  3. Re:Eh on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: 1

    I said to mount the home directory, not pull the entire distro off.

    A simple hack could be made using Knoppix, they have storage of /home on a usb thumbdrive, why not throw in your Gmail info on bootup (of the linux distro, not your damn pc) and enter your info and have your /home directory mounted with all your settings then continue to run off the CD based distro.

  4. Eh on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: 1

    GmailFS is still a much cooler hack.

    Imagine a bootable linux distro, upon boot asking for your Gmail login info then automatically mounting it as your home directory. Instant linux box wherever you go and have a internet connection.

    Fucking cool.

  6. Re:Does anyone know.. on Unix's Founding Fathers · · Score: 1

    The gent who said FilePro is correct... a great DB which a company I previously worked for ran. Built the whole company from the ground up on it in the 80's on a old radioshack xenix box. Now runs on a decent a SCO Unix box flawlessly with about 6 secretaries remotely logged in doing their work, processing orders, etc. Its great

  7. Webmail? on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sure gmail is considered webmail, but its definitely one of the first webapps I've that seen. When i'm checking my gmail I don't feel like i'm using webpage, I feel like i'm using a very well crafted application.

  8. Who cares!!! on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    Who wants to bother modding a PS2 anyway, it's like 29 wires on tiny solder points!

    Pick up a xbox, 007, memory card and download the correct software and you can have your xbox modded to be a linux box, amazing media player, emulate any previous console, or pretty much mod it to be anything you want it to be in an instant!

  9. This reminds me of... on The BookMachine: On-Demand Book Printing in 3-5 Minutes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That vending machine that cut potatos and fried them in the machine and dispensed them on the fly. Fresh hot fries on demand. What ever happend to that?

  11. Epcot on Segways Roll Over Chicago · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Even better, Epcot just started 2 hour tours.

    $80 for 2 hours around Epcot, a lot better than Chicago thats for sure, travel all the best countries in the world on a Segway! Reservations needed.

    Florida residents get 15% off I believe.

    Quake 4 pushed back 3.5 to 7 years

    errrrrrr wait...

  13. Thank god! on G4TechTV Announced · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Was ready to change the channel today at 5 to avoid the horrible robot wars, was suprised to see that Filter was on, a former G4 show. No complaints show far, work out the techtv crap and bring in decent G4 shows. If they keep the right people this might not work out too bad.

  14. Old news... on Highest Human Elevation Using a Rocketbelt · · Score: 1

    Old new for those who watch techtv, was on tech live a few days ago I believe, pretty interesting interview footage as well as seeing the guy covered in advertisements.

    I'm sure it will repeat this weekend if you want to see the video.

    Fuck that.

    Iron Maiden is metal, and good fucking metal at that.

    GC, Blink 182, Kittie? Thats not fuck, it's pop.

    Go listen to the dead kennedys, the misfits, minor threat, or some other true punk bands and not that sell out pop garbage.

  19. Mine as well on Universities Taken Offline to Fight Worms, Viruses · · Score: 1

    Morrisville State College, where I attend was shut down as well. We're entirely wireless (old 802.11 absolute crap, 1.5mb connection) as well as we have no land lines, every student is issued a Nextel cell phone. When we moved in no dorms had internet, they were shut down for 3 days and numerous people had accounts shutdown until they cleaned up. Ah well, over with...

  20. How about GPS? on Cell Phones and Air Safety · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I've always wanted to take my GPS on a plane and check out to see if the pilot is speaking the truth when announcing the altitude, plus checking speed would be cool. Anyone the rules about a GPS on a plane?

  23. Nooo on AOL vs. Open Source AIM Clones · · Score: 1
