  1. Infopop OpenTopic on Best Web Forums for Businesses? · · Score: 2, Informative

    A professional board hosted by the same people who make it.

    http://infopop.com/products/opentopic/

    ArsTechnica uses it for their board: http://infopop.com/products/opentopic/

    I must admit I have used older versions of ubb (made by infopop), and newer version of vBulletin, and liked vbulletin much more, but if you want it hosted, Infopop might be your best bet.

  2. I am really curious to know... on Automated Wireless File Transfers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    What are you DOING?!

    I can only imagine some sort of cloak and dagger digital image exchange with a gratuitous amount of trenchcoats.

  3. Hate to say it, buuut. on Virtual Mailing List Managers? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you can't find something suittable, and you have the time, writing one yourself might be a good investment.

    Use your choice of web language to add email addresses to the database.

    Then use something like perl to fire off the emails, depending on what the subscriber wants. /trying to stay away from mentioning any specific language or db.

  4. A thought. on America's Army Recruiting Success Discussed · · Score: 1

    So that recruitment battalion, they are hosting lan games, and during these games, are they leaning on the geeks to join up?

    I hope not, considering that it is a serious choice, and one that should be made without any pressure.

    I can imagine a few situations where the recruiter can muscle a person into signing up without putting much thought into their choice.

  6. Use Shoutcast! on TV "Broadcasting" Over Wireless Networks? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nullsoft developed NSV, nullsoft streaming video.
    It can use a regular shoutcast server and winamp to play it.

    It's a bit poorly documented, but any geek should be able to figure it out. It can play a set of files in a loop, do live feeds, etc.

  7. Re:Silent Hill 2 on Cultivating Incoherent Panic In Silent Hill 3 · · Score: 1

    You too?

    Oh man. I was freaking out during the whole thing, I had the character reach through some grates to pick up a key, and I was freaking out the entire time. I really didn't want to have him do that, even though there was no where else to go.

    I love that game. But I don't think I would ever want to play it again. /me shivers at the thought

  8. Difference between eothers and BitTorrent? on BitTorrent Community Running For Cover? · · Score: 1

    I wonder why BitTorrent is being targetted so specifically.

    Sites like ShareReactor.com have been up for years now, serving edonkey links to the community.

    Bytemonsoon seems to have only been around for a few months, at the most, and already it is being shut down.

  9. Re:Counter-strike on Half-Life 2 Mod Creation FAQ Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not that I have heard of. They would be stupid not to.

    Valve owns counter-strike now, remember. Valve will most likely port it.

    I'd guess that the most work they would have to do with it, is making it behave very similarly to the old counter-strike.

  11. Re:Turbo Tea on Endless Liquid Refreshment · · Score: 1

    In the coffee world, at least, the less time the water is exposed to the coffee, the less caffeine there is in the end result.

    Espresso does not have the most caffeine, partly because the water isn't in contact with the grounds for very long. (The other reason is that espresso beans are roasted more, more roasting destroys the caffeine.)

    If you ever want a cup of coffee with the most caffeine you can get, get light roast.

    So, stick your tea bags in for a few hours. ;)

  12. Is there some sort of volume tire licensing? on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1

    Changing more than 3 tires will change your vehicle's license number, and you will have to reinsure your vehicle.

  13. VCRs? on TV Networks Sue ReplayTV · · Score: 1

    Four years ago, I bought a panasonic VCR. It had 1 minute advance.

    I could record programs, and then skip through the commercials with that button.

    I don't remember Panasonic getting sued for such a feature. Does anyone else?

  14. Sure, but... on Man-Made Black Holes Looming? · · Score: 0, Troll

    does it run linux?

  15. Re:Slashdot and Responsibility on Why Redhat Choose ext3 For 7.2 · · Score: 1

    Seems to me, it would take a little bit of scripting. Without the editors having to do much. According to the FAQ, there are problems with banner ads and mirroring the site. So, a) Maybe use some of junkbusters code to check for banner ads, if there are banner ads, don't mirror the page. b) Check for a line in the webpage being served, to determine whether or not the site should be mirrored. Or, slashdot could perform load balancing of their own, and direct users to the webpage, or to the mirrored copy. Just a few thoughs...

  16. Subversive P2P on 10GB In A Linux PDA · · Score: 1

    What about running a p2p server (i.e. freenet) connect it to a power source and the company lan, then hide it in the wall.

    The possibilities for small servers with large storage space are almost endless.

    And beacuse of that, we know it's the fastest. ;)

  18. AOL chooses ps2 over Xbox? on Sony and AOL vs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm wrong, but this seems really good for the playstation 2. The Xbox runs on pc hardware, runs a windows based kernel, I am sure it would be easy as pie to port AOL, or any other app over to the xbox, and with the hype surrounding the Xbox, you are bound to get way more publicity.

    Why then, did AOL still choose the PS2?

  20. A contract is a contract. on Screwed Over IP Rights By Your Employer? · · Score: 4

    I'm not a lawyer, and I don't have any experience in this, so bear with me. The agreement you signed as part of your contract with company, and now they are telling you they will break that contract, so it's you who could sue them for breaking the contract. If you release your project as open source, It would be fairly easy to prove that you have not stolen code or ideas from them in any way. Also, if the contract doesn't have any ifs or buts about your home projects being your home projects, such as, if your projects are in the same area as the companies projects then the company gets your work, it's pretty clear to me that no matter what your boss says, your contract with them is valid as ever.

  21. Re:L. Ron is fertilizer too. on Scientology vs. Panoussis Ruling · · Score: 1

    This happened to a friend of mine as well.

    It wasn't a personality test, it was an IQ test.

    Doesn't this seem alot like how kidnappers use candy to entice young children to get into their vehicles?

    Makes you wonder if those kidnappers are really recruiters for Scientology...

  22. Who decides? on Courts Gives Napster 72-Hour Deadline · · Score: 1

    Okay, so who decides what is copywritten or not?

    What if a band that is not signed with a member of the RIAA wants their songs removed from napster? Or what if a band that IS signed with a member of the RIAA WANTS their songs on napster?

  23. Is it just me, or... on Gnutella "Virus" Roams · · Score: 1

    Is this just another way to talk about Napster again?

    Executables are not traded on Napster, and mp3 files are not executed by an mp3 player, so there isn't any danger of a Napster virus.
