  1. It was for GeForce 2's on Turning A FX5900 Into A FX5950 Ultra, Tool-Free · · Score: -1

    The hack to turn the GeForces into Quadros worked for the GeForce 2s. I've still got my GeForce 2 GTS which I turned into a Quadro... it does make differences, I remember benchmarking it back in the day.

  2. Whats the point? on Palm PDA Roundup · · Score: -1

    Really, Do people need to upgrade their PDA's like this all the time?

    My Palm IIIe served me well for several years, and I just replaced it with an M125. I don't think I ever filled up all of the 1 meg of space on the III, and I would have a hard time doing so.

    There really aren't that many good games out their for it, I tried using it to read books, but it sucked batteries.

    Why exactly do you need to upgrade?

  4. Cool! on Faster Boot Times By Reducing 'Suspend' Latency? · · Score: 2

    I've been wanting to do the same thing with an old P120 around my house and a couple old HD's.
    The only thing that has held me back (well I'm also broke) is the thought that everytime you hit a pot-hole, your going to tear your disk to shreds. I've been thinking of a way around this, such as suspending it by springs from the roof of the trunk, or pacckaging it in bubble wrap, but it still seems like it would get quite a jarring.
    Also what about heat, it doesn't seem like an already old PC would last very long in a hot car and/or trunk, what would be the solution? Just use a lot of fans?

  5. I know!!!! on Inside the CueCat Hardware · · Score: 1

    I know how we could give Cue-Cat a bad name.
    Use their software and write a script to continually think it was scanning in (everytime it scans something it reports to their website) a bunch of Sex Toys.
    That way when they look at their quarter reports or whatever they will get sued my every mother out-there who let little billy get a Cue-cat.
    Just an idea

  6. I've seen these on 3D Printers · · Score: 1

    The local Oaks school has one of these (you go there the last 2 years of H-school if you want on the job training) for their Cad department.
    It works basically by using a chunk of Plastic and melting it with a laser where it wants to shave of.
    I also heard ( on Slashdot, I forget when)they wanted to put one of these in the space shuttle so they could make replacement parts in orbit.

  7. Re:ultimate stress reliever on IT Stress In The Workplace · · Score: 1

    Relax man,
    While an Ak-47 would sound cool, I doubt any geek could fire it more than once or twice. Most geeks probably couldn;t fire a Shotgun (moreless pick it up) I myself get 4 outa 5 clay birds when I shoot out behind my house with my father.
    I haven;t tried AOL cd's, first because my launcher wouldn;t throw them right. second because they would probably create some perty bad shrapnel.

    AY MEN BRotha!!
    I know, I think its redicoulas that in order to install something for Linux you have to download 2-3 or even 5 (rpms of Mesa, I just did it) and install them in a certain order, why not just have one file to download with all the stuff, and only one file to set-up!

  12. Better than Geforce! on 3dfx Voodoo 5 Review · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine just bought a Voodoo5 5500 and he says it kicks his Geforce256 up and down!
    He said he played Quake3 in 1600x1200 with all the pertys turned on and get a fps of around 80 or so!
    Sounds like a good Card!!!!

    Besides Does Linux have support for the V5 yet???
    and I have heard nopthing about a v4? Are they making one? O is like Slack? from 4.x to 7.x?

  13. Re:Do the wiring yourself... on Constructing A Geek House · · Score: 1

    I kinda wired my house this last june.
    What I did was set up as server (Shelf) in my room, which is the attic, then ran cat-5 from there to the basement, then through a crawspace to my moms office, then ran one to my sisters room across the hole from the door to my attic. On the end of each line I have a nice little box with the RJ-45 connector which has sticky tape on the back and is stuck to the bottom of the wall, my "shelf" is just a piece of board that goes between my wall and a hand-rail that is part of the stare-case to my room, on which sits a linksys 10bps hub and a pent.75 (running Caldera 2.2) which is pulling web-server duty (which I don't leave on all the time) and is soon to pull Squid and fire-wall duty when I get road-runner.

    I really wish I had a Server closet, and I kinda wish I would have ran rg-6 so that when I get Roadrunner I can tap into the line and get cable on several TV's, but I can always run it later, running the Cat-5 only took a day and 1/2.

  14. FTP? on Accessing BSDi Diskslices On Non-BSD OSes? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I went to Shawnee State U in Ohio, and the whole of Portsmouth was bought out by Pepsi.
