  3. Re:Bittorrent? on Red Hat Linux 9 Release And Interview · · Score: 1

    For some reason getting rh9 is slow as heck for me, hovering in the single digits kB/s. Knoppix on the other hand downloaded in a flash reaching speeds over 100kB/s.

  5. Re:Sacrifice on Advice for a Dad-To-Be? · · Score: 1

    Agree completely. My # 1 advice would be for at least one of you to work a lot less or not at all. It's sad if all the "firsts" happen at daycare.

  6. How can I... on TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    mod the story down?

  7. knoppix is great on Knoppix 3.2 Available · · Score: 1

    I installed XP sp1 on my HP pavilion which made it no longer work, couldn't get to safe mode, last known working config, not load to DOS, nothing. Dead to the world. Luckily I had a knoppix CD lying around so I was able to use it to back up my essential data by ftping it to my old PC. Good thing too since the supposed non-destructive rebuild was quite destructive.

  10. Re:Sounds like my folks on Family Tech Support · · Score: 1

    Unnamed friend bought new speakers because the left one was "broken". New speakers, same problem.
    Somehow the balance was pushed all the way to the right. OK, I'll admit it, it was me.

  11. Re:pcmag has another review ... on Slashback: Centrinissimo, Damages, Software · · Score: 1

    I can't recall ever reading a review in PCMAG that didn't pick a Dell product as the recommended choice. I bet they hate it when they review items that Dell doesn't make so they actually have to make an informed decision. Unlike this wonderfully impartial site which is always fair and balanced when it comes to comparing products and services. Ehrm...sorry.

  12. Re:Morality of the long term... on The Ethics of Life Extension · · Score: 1

    You are so right, longer prison sentences and not to mention the death penalty are such proven deterrents to crime.
    Sorry if I didn't sense your sarcasm, but you're either joking or delusional. I would sign up for a long one-way space trip though.

    "Raimund Magreiter, the head of the surgery department at the clinic, said at the moment Jamnig was suffering from phantom pains in the new limbs but that it was normal."

    Since the arms are now attached aren't the phantom pains just pains now?
