    Yes, you can on the 3800 series.

    Very observant of you.

    ROTFLMAO...wish I was moderating today!

  4. Re:Those guys are cool... [Oops] on Do It Yourself Cool Cases · · Score: 1

    Duh...I didn't read carefully. In your example more fans blowing out than in (negative pressure inside case) makes vents and other holes act like intakes (even through in through a removable media opening). Very bad for dust problem. My first reply still makes sense, but doesn't exactly pertain to your example.

  5. Re:Those guys are cool... on Do It Yourself Cool Cases · · Score: 1

    Regarding your first point:

    I agree given your example, but a _little_ positive pressure in the case could be good. If you filter your intake, and your exhaust is _slightly_ restricted, air will blow out of any vents and little holes, helping to keep the interior dust-free.

  6. Re:Remote Desktop.... on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't count on it being multi-platform like VNC though, and it remains to be seen how many security holes it adds.

    > FLAMEBAIT!? What the hell? This guy is making a good point!

    You're right, and I was glad you said it, but you sure come off like a jerk with the rest of your comment.

  8. Re:What's with the big folder thingies on Windows Whistler Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that the giant folder icons are an attempt to make lusers feel a little comfortable by making folders look more like the folders in their meatspace filing cabinets, thereby suggesting that that's how they should be used.

  9. [fresh from the lab] on What Is Important In A User Interface? · · Score: 1

    heck, all you really need are dip switches and a logic analyzer...anyhting else is gravy :-)

    If you want to demonstrate some intelligence, cite a few things you admire about Americans as well. Otherwise keep your clueless rant to yourself.

  12. Speak for yourself ... (Re: Is it because ...) on Cisco Eclipses Microsoft As 'Most Valuable Company' · · Score: 1

    I find pipes, routers (and switches) _very_ sexy!

    I do agree, though, that most people are fairly uniformed (and therefore not turned on) about network infrastructure. :-)

  14. Never mind that - I want an endoskeleton... on Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation · · Score: 1

    Gimme massive surgery, some chemical and drug treatments, maybe a nanotech infusion (if I'm lucky), and about a year to recover. Subdermal armor, hardened skeletal structure, and synthetic tendons/muscles jacked into a nervous system hyped up by metered stimulant dispensers and directed by a brain/tactical computer interface. Leave the weapons external though - makes for easier repair/replacement/upgrade/compatibility. So I'll live half as long - at least I'll kick some ass while I'm around.
