  1. Bonus and team ./ on Protecting the Apollo Landing Sites From Later Landings · · Score: 1

    BONUSES: An additional $5 million in bonus prizes can be won by successfully completing additional mission tasks such as roving longer distances (> 5,000 meters), imaging man made artifacts (e.g. Apollo hardware), discovering water ice, and/or surviving through a frigid lunar night (approximately 14.5 Earth days). The competing lunar spacecraft will be equipped with high-definition video and still cameras, and will send images and data to Earth, which the public will be able to view on the Google Lunar X PRIZE website.

    1. have multiple mini rovers that move 1km 2. take a call phone up and use it to send a cell call to earth as well a post on twitter for even more bonus prizes (or take up an earth fossil) 3. take a watter bottle up 4. completely shutdown at night or have a nuclear reactor to generate heat Only HD not SHD (like the manned missions)? Does anybody on Slashdot want to create our own team?

    You think one of the "red shirts" got to do it with a green alien babe? Of course not. It was Captain Kirk nailing all the Intergalactic Strange throughout the Alpha Quadrant.

    That is why I would replicate a yellow or blue shirt (assuming replicators are in existence yet) or steel one from an engineer or kill the captain.

  3. Re:The Consipiracy Continues on Protecting the Apollo Landing Sites From Later Landings · · Score: 1

    Yeah, as seen on Youtube, moon landing was faked on a soundstage on Mars. Otherwise, how come there's gravity if it's supposedly on Moon?

    No, it was sent to us from Jupiter. It was made by the "Humans" that live there and have for the past 2000+ years, even though they are our descendants (the first people on Jupiter will be born in 1000+ years).

    How many Macs do you see in public?

    I have only seen about 5-10 Macs ever (two Apple IIs over 12 years ago, 2 Mac laptops, 3 IMacs, and a couple others)

    how many Linux notebooks?

    Notebooks? About 10, but PCs/Servers over 20.

    I have 3 Linux PCs and 3 Linux Laptops.

    ARIN is telling ISPs to switch to IPv6 now before it is too late. IPv4 is could run out in as little as 18 months.

  8. Re:so what this means is? on Measuring the User For CPU Frequency Scaling · · Score: 1

    That's nonsense. A base WinXP system (instead of a fully update XPSP3 + AV) would max out the processor and the internet bandwidth within days, if not hours, of being turned on.

    No, that is nonsense. If you are dumb enough to put any insecure OS directly onto the IPv4 (IPv6 is too large for hacking random IPs) internet then you deserve anything and every thing you get.

  9. Re:Repurpose the SysRq key on Measuring the User For CPU Frequency Scaling · · Score: 1

    What good is the SysRq key?

    It is very helpful when you have a kernel panic. It lets you safely unmount and reboot the system.
    On another note the Windows kernel panic (not BSOD) in Vista looks and behaves just like it does in Linux.

  10. Software based on Measuring the User For CPU Frequency Scaling · · Score: 1

    Why not just do like Linux can and does, have 4 settings that control how the processor functions.

    I have the option between Conservative, Ondemand(Increases when processor usage is needed), Preformance(always at max), and Powersave(always at min). When my laptop is unplugged then it runs in powersave mode, but when plugged in then it is in ondemand mode.

  12. Re:Baby crying on Baby Monitors Killing Urban Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter. FCC rules dictate that if baby monitors (or any other unlicensed device) interfere with legitimate communications, then they must be turned-off. This applies not just to WiFi frequencies, but also HAM and TV frequencies. So yes you might locate me, but my next step would be to file grievances, and the U.S. government would fine you severely if you do not turn-off your device.

    WiFi is on 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz which are both unlicensed, so you cannot legally "file grievances" with the FCC, they will just laugh at your claim, unless the signal is stronger then the legal maximum. You may even get a bill for wasting the time of an FCC employee.

  14. Re:Cars on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1

    yes, but a person should be able to buy a part for a car (laptop) without even having to prove that the even own said car (laptop).
    If I went Into a dealership (computer store) and asked for a radio (drive tray) then I should be able to purchase said part without them asking for any information if I have cash in hand.

    Exactly. Radios were cool in their time. But what does it give you in the internet age that a chat room or forum doesn't?

  19. Re:Does it bother anyone else..... on Hospital Equipment Infected With Conficker · · Score: 1

    The computers that were infected weren't hooked to the internet, they were hooked to a network that was hooked to the internet. The other equipment was probably either connected to an infected computer at some point, hooked into the same network, or some combination of similar things.

    Being hooked up to a network that is hooked up to the internet (an insanely large network) is being hooked up to the internet! Any way the network that the medical equipment is on should be a closed system with no computers that were ever connected to the internet.

    Reader beware, I am completely talking out of my ass here. For all I know, Charter, Time Warner and Comcast all have their own backbones. I doubt it, but it could happen.

    Time Warner Telecom is a level 1 provider. I think that they own Time Warner Cable (or are their backbone).

  21. Re:Metered Service on Think-Tank Warns of Internet "Brownouts" Starting Next Year · · Score: 1

    Not saying I disagree with everything you're saying, but the obvious response (devil's advocate or otherwise) to this is that such cheaper providers will then get a disproportionate number of heavy users. Either they'll be able to handle them or they won't.

    Neither they will upgrade their network to be able to handle them, unlike the current ISPs
