    spaceship B will be travelling at 60 + 48 = 98 m/s.. still less than the speed of light

    umm.. my calculator shows 60 + 48 = 108... or is this "relative addition"?

  2. Re:How About.... on Building A Homebrew Robotic Lawnmower? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sounds like a job for a robotic poop collector.

    In KDE you can configure Klipper to either "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" or "Separate clipboard and selection".

    Your choice.

  5. Re:I don't see this working... on Microsoft's iPod-Killer: Portable Media Center? · · Score: 1
    I don't think people want a small video playing device. Listening to music is different than watching video. You can do things while you listen to music. You can shop, or do chores, or workout, etc. But to watch video, you have to stop everything you are doing and concentrate on the video.

    YES. However, I do think that these portable media devices should have some sort of video-out capability, and should be able to play/stream video. As a consumer, if I want to watch video on my iPod then I should be able to hook it up to an LCD panel (or monitor, or TV) and watch video copied from my Tivo (or whatever). That would be killer. -Tom

    The implications of this are slowly beginning to be understood.

    For a minute I thought I read "The implementations of this are slow..." Oh wait..

    This was about the oldest trick in the good ol' days of the VAX and mentioned on page 3 (or so) of the VMS Security Manual. You where supposed to always press [5F] (break) before opening a session on a VT terminal.

    Ahh yes.. I'm sure every college student read the VMS Security Manual before logging in.

    I myself have fond memories of being curled up next to the fire, smoking a pipe, and reading the VMS Security Manual.

    Even if they were running Win98 system, POLEDIT (if properly configured) would block the ability to do crap like this.

    In all its POLEDIT glory, Win98 wouldn't be able to prevent a hardware keystroke logger from capturing keystrokes. There are quite a few on the market, and are usually designed to look like baluns or adapters.

    Yes, much more costly - but much more effective.

    Yes, they may be tricky to install with the highly perceptive Kinko's staff circulating the floor, but I'm sure with a little ingenuity it can be (has been) done.
