  2. Mouse buttons... on A Basket Full of Apple News · · Score: 1

    (if only it had 3 mouse buttons)
    It took long enough to get 2 mouse buttons... I wouldn't be holding my breath for 3 :)

  3. Re:Penn St is not in Pittsburgh on LaserMAME: Playing Tempest In A Whole New Light · · Score: 1

    Just a little corection. Penn State is not inPittsburgh, though many people think so, and this would be neat in Beaver stadium. to blind the opposing team and give the Nittany Lions a chance to win.

    You're probably thinking of Pitt.


    That's Penn Street, not Penn State. :-)

  4. The coolest part... on LaserMAME: Playing Tempest In A Whole New Light · · Score: 5

    Is what they're doing tomorrow...

Come check it out...

    Er, maybe not.

  7. MegaCar on Your Holiday Present Wish List · · Score: 1

    Check this bad boy out at http://www.megacar.com/
    A 150kbit/sec `net connection in your car? It doesn't get any geekier than that :-)
    Oh, and I'm pretty sure this falls in the 'unlimited' price category. =)

  8. Re:Lazy admins... on Crackers Preparing Massive DDoS? · · Score: 1

    Maybe I wasn't really clear... I was referring to the hack itself, not the DDoS software. Oh well, not like it matters now :)

  9. Honestly... on IDs For MO Drives To Counter Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    Who buys Fujitsu MO drives anyway? :)

  10. How about FedEx? on Package Shipping From USA To Russia? · · Score: 2

    A quick look at their website doesn't reveal any sort of restrictions to Russia. Might be worth a try? Take a look at FedEx's international service restrictionsinfo.

  11. the upside on DoS Vulnerability On Nokia Phones · · Score: 1

    At least now when I don't answer my boss I'll have a good excuse...

  12. Just a thought... on 0.01 Micron Process? · · Score: 1

    .18 to .01 is quite a leap... but could this process be used today, though on a smaller scale? If it's going to take 10 to 15 years for production at .01, how about .10 in a year? Or would it be impractical or inefficient to do that?

  13. Re:Where's ICQ on IMUnified: Playing Red Rover With AOL · · Score: 2

    AOL bought Mirabilis, so I'd assume that ICQ won't support IMUnified unless AOL as a whole changes policy.

  14. Search Engine Comparisons on Go.com Content Engine Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    Is there a site out there that has thorough and *unbiased* comparisons of the different search engines out there?

  15. Re:What about the Raite 715? (fixed link) on Hidden-Feature DVD Players Again · · Score: 1

    Let's try this again.. :/

  16. What about the Raite 715? on Hidden-Feature DVD Players Again · · Score: 1

    The guy over at DVDFile apparently hasn't heard of the Raite 715, which sounds like a much better deal than the Apex or this Infinity player.

    Sure, it has the same shoddy build quality as the others, but with a quick firmware flash (through the CDR, no less) you'll be watching multi-region discs with Macrovision off.

    PLUS it costs a whole $70 less than the Infinity. Hmm, seems like a no-brainer :-)

    Check out Pat Gomes excellent <a href="http://www.his.com/~pgomes/">site</a> with info about upgrading the firmware on these babies.
