  1. Re:Obvious...after you see it on Gloves Translate Sign Language Into Auditory Speech · · Score: 1

    That can easily be accomplished using Speech-to-Text then Text-to-Sign.

  2. DNSMasq on Major ISPs Injecting Ads, Vulnerabilities Into Web · · Score: 1

    Can easily be fixed if you run a local DNSMasq server (i.e. DD-WRT, OpenWRT) http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2006q4/000920.html

  3. Re:what currency? on SCO Offers $250K Bounty for MyDoom Author's Arrest · · Score: 1

    wow, 250,000 in SCO stock would probably mean the entire company by now.

  4. Re:Arbitrage Situation on Exchange Rates Play With Online Music Prices · · Score: 1

    This is actually happening in many commodity markets. There was this slashdotted NYT article awhile back on textbooks. School bookstores are buying books from Europe and sell them on American campuses. Arbitrage brings the markets close together. In this case, it would be a component of globalization. Since buying music is actually buying a license, arbitrage can be legally prevented. They can ask for verification of address or national ID. Verification of national ID is already done in MMORPG market.

  5. Re:Yes, but .. on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    even if you do, I bet you will be slashdotted in seconds.

  8. Re:With a name like robodex... on Robots! · · Score: 1

    It's a PDA that contains a list of robots and their descriptions. I heard the first version will be able to identify 151 robots.

  9. helping spammer? on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this make it easier for spammer to get a huge list of email addresses?

  10. I like OpenGL on What is Happening with OpenGL? · · Score: 1

    I believe DirectDraw is supported in just about any video card that's there. Unfortunately, D3D and OpenGL both require hardware accel in games (I haven't seen any major game that has software D3D or OpenGL).

    I believe on other reason that DirectX triumphs is because it support those other stuff, such as DirectSound, DirectPlay. Developer will have to use those things even if they choose OpenGL as the gfx API.

    Personally, I have a GeForce2 MX. It runs OpenGL stuff a hell lot faster than D3D.

  11. New innovation from Despair's on Despair Suing 7,000,000 Email Users Over :-( · · Score: 1

    We have invented the word "is". This word should transform the world by making speaking/reading/writing easier. Now we can say "It 'is' good" and "It 'is' raining" instead of just "good" and "raining". Of course, you must pay us tributes for using the new word "is", if you refuse, we will sue you.

  12. Re:Why a calculator? Why not a Palm or WinCE? on Graphing Calculators for Geeks? · · Score: 1

    So I can dump a dictionary into it (assuming you are using a calculator with a search option for text files, TI-89) and use it on the SAT.

    Even more sell it later to someone who haven't yet taken the SAT for the Original Price + Inflation + Profit + Tax + more.

  13. Permission on MS Tells How to Delete Linux, Install NT or Win2K · · Score: 1

    Did anyone notice that it never mention about the user must have permission to write to /dev/hda?
