  1. Re:These shorts and unknown productions... on 3dFestival's International 3D Award Winners · · Score: 1

    Streaming Bjork video is available from here (links at the bottom). Doesn't seem to work for me though, probably due to my sucky PC at work.

  2. Re:Some missing the "picture" on Should Apple Buy TiVo? · · Score: 1

    Listening to music isn't just sitting there?

  3. Re:It has cost my company quite a lot. on Any Reason To Buy Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try using terminal services instead of VNC.

  4. Re:I like bad weather on Surviving Tornadoes · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean. I grew up in suburban chicago, while storms aren't that bad there, there is nothing like a good thunderstorm. I miss that living in LA, where I don't think I have ever even heard thunder. :( I miss the snow too. Man I gotta get out of LA.

  5. Re:Flawed testing methodology / conflict of intere on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 1

    Your ideas about reliability and validity are right, but this is the computer marketing world we are talking about not a scientific lab. They just wanted to make sure that they weren't getting completely skewed results on one run and then published them since they got the results they wanted.

    It is kind of silly to go to all that work at proving there is a lucrative relationship between lionbridge and MS when it states that the report was paid for by MS on the first page.

  6. Re:Worked at VeriTest on a contract once on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 1

    Veritest has several locations. Some do only one thing. Others do everything, including lots of testing under *nix.

    So he is down on political correctness when it doesn't involve his minority group? Wow, that is pretty progressive thinking.

  8. Re:Additional info... on First HDTV Camcorder · · Score: 1

    The jury is still out on whether HD at 25mbit/sec will be artifacted

    OTA HD in the USA is about 19 mbit/s, no artifacts that I have seen.

  9. Re:American subconcious on display yet again on New Terminator 3 Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    There is an end of the world fear in America? I must have missed that. Seriously, I haven't had a fear of EOW since the fall of the Soviet Union.

  10. Re:Define Watered Down, please on Must-See Films at L.A. Anime Festival · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry, Gundam came before Macross (which is what was used to create Robotech). The father of giant robot anime is probably Tetsujin 28-go (Gigantor was the english version) from early 60s, though Astroboy from early 50s could also be considered the father of all robot anime, he wasn't a giant robot though.

  11. Re:Rube Goldberg? on 606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad · · Score: 2, Funny

    You Brits need to work on your marketing. :P

  12. Re:Where's the Neon? on "Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra · · Score: 1

    Dodge didn't think so. Just drop a new engine in there. :)

  13. Re:Oh yea, the USA really sucks on Deus Ex Writer Discusses 'Dangerous Technology' · · Score: 1

    Look, I like Ireland, I think it is a great place. I work with several Irish people, they are excellent people. I was just commenting, as an American how it was a bit scary to see heavily armed troops in a TINY town delivering money to the bank. I say this to let you know that it is a very foreign concept for Americans to see heavily armed troops in the streets.

  14. Re:Oh yea, the USA really sucks on Deus Ex Writer Discusses 'Dangerous Technology' · · Score: 1

    The sanctions were only working if your goal was to opress the people of Iraq.

    I haven't been searched or gone through a metal detector in the last 10 US malls I have been to (or any mall for that matter). Maybe he was from Compton which is gang infested?

    Ireland had some pretty heavily armed military types delivering money to the banks when I was there (can't remember if they were military or just special division of cops, all carried SMG, kind of scary). This was in rural northwest Ireland too (Ballina to be exact), which surprised me.

  15. Re:Diamonds as CPUs on Diamonds As Room-Temperature Superconductors · · Score: 1
  16. Re:The fault is above ground... on Newly Discovered Fault Under L.A. · · Score: 1

    The 405 is the San Diego freeway. The 10 is the Santa Monica freeway.

  17. Re:Advice to troops on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 1

    I just hope the US troops are getting the same advice as the Brits. Somehow I doubt it.

    No, of course they aren't, the US troops are told to rape and pillage. They are all given little jars to bring the oil back to Bush.

    Just so you know, every talk I have seen on the news by US commanders talking to the troops has referenced giving Iraq back to the people as the goal of the operation.

  18. Re:2496? on Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The live resamples everything to 48 I believe. That is why I made the original comment

  19. Re:2496? on Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    isn't 16/48? I seem to remember all this uproar about the Live having to resample CDs.

  20. Re:no nuclear winter on New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth · · Score: 1

    Not just people, some wild animals may survive too. What do you do when a mountain lion wants your lunch? Also hunting.

  21. Re:Why not? on Peter Molyneux Asks For Gov't Help For Small Shops · · Score: 1

    In the UK taxes are going up again in April.

    That is the problem. All these grants results in higher taxes.

  22. Re:The Hard part is convincing people use it that on Windows vs. Unix Revisited · · Score: 1

    Since the TCO study is focused on schools I will as well. Using a terminal/server structure is fine in a liberal arts environment. They are just writing papers. It is insane in a science/engineering environment. Who would want to share a CPU with some guy trying to model the space shuttle in MATLAB?

  23. Re:The Quad Proc niche on AMD's Athlon-64 Benchmarked With UT2003 · · Score: 1

    You should try a dual Xeon setup. Hyperthreading will give you 4 logical processors to use. I would be curious to see how well HT aids this application.

  24. Re:$150 for cables? on Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV? · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is just plain RCA connectors. Use 75 ohm connectors and cable for best results. Most popular DIY cable seems to be Belden 7710A or 1694A and Canare L-5CFB. The Canare 75 ohm RCA Crimp plug seems to be very popular for the connector.

  25. Re:$150 for cables? on Whether (And When) To Buy HDTV? · · Score: 1

    If you can make BNC cables yourself you can certainly make RCA cables.
