  1. Re:Hey on Will DRM Exterminate Spore? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Technically, you probably have no right to play the game on WINE. What's the license say about reverse engineered systems? So in this case, DRM is doing what it's supposed to. (Though granted, it's a lame restriction and it sucks.)

    Wine simply implements a win32 API in linux. This allows windows applications to make native calls via the wine API. This in no way reverse engeineers win32 applications.

  2. All I can say is.... on Full Immersion Cooling Comes To Desktop PCs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am happy that I do not work for the geek squad anymore... can you imagine asking grandma to bring in her 300lbs pc?

  3. I agree on Firefox SSL-Certificate Debate Rages On · · Score: 1

    Now that they make it more obvious that something is wrong with the SSL cert, how am I ever going to get inexperienced people to give me their bank information. Blasted Firefox, *shakes fist* you have ruined retirement plan.

  4. Re:Few? on US Data Centers Wary of Sharing Energy Data With Feds · · Score: 4, Informative

    As someone who has worked around and at several very large data centers including those who hosted servers for ebay, google, accenture, ford, honda, etc, I would suggest that it is very likely that the "rest" have a very good understanding of how much power they consume. Floor space is only a small fraction of the processes of determining server capacity. Power and cooling are the real limiting factor in any large floor space data center.

  5. mythtv-guest on What To Do With Old Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I have a mythtv server at the house with one guest in the master bedroom. The server stores all of the content, and the guests can stream video and decode on the fly. Older laptops make perfect guests because most of them already have svideo/composite out and they are extreamly small. I have a p3 800 SFF with 512 megs of memory and a crappy video card and it plays h264 over the wire flawlessly, FF/RR no problem either.

  6. This will not suprise anyone.... on How Aftermarket Inkjet Ink Holds Up After a Year · · Score: 1

    I used to work at one of the worlds largest electronics retail store (that is not the surprising part). With my employee discount a $25 ink cartrege would cost me ~$5. Most of the ink cartrages are only partly filled as well. HP is really bad about saling a $19 cartrage and a $27 dollar one.... the difference? 2x times as much ink.

  7. qpong on The Future of Space Sports · · Score: 1

    I have always been a fan of qpong myself.... It seams like with low gravity this may finally be a possibility!
