  1. Re:Where were you? on Five Years of Quake · · Score: 1

    yes you are mistaken... the Monster 3d card had only 4Mb, the voodoo2's had 8, 12, and I think 16 not sure on that though. I still have a monster 3d in my spare 233 amd. Damn that card was $$ in the day, I paid $189 for it brand new.

  2. Re:It's being studied in England on Rental Car + GPS = Speeding Ticket · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to get all of us to believe that a Ford Escort can even do more then 80?

  4. Is it just me on 2600 v. Ford Motors · · Score: 1

    or am I the only who relizes that general motors is not ford at all. GM makes chevy, pontiac, cadalliac, etc... Again GM is not Ford. DOH!

  5. Re:someone educate me (Request for Comments) on Dual Athlon Motherboards Creep Closer · · Score: 1

    Only the first generation of PII's were 66mhz (233, 266, 366). I have a dual 400PII and it has a 100mhz bus, as well as my old 300PII.

    The speed of you cpu has nothing to do with the speed of your downloads (doh!). A 486 can saturate a T1.

  8. Re:FCC Compliance? on Clear Computer Cases · · Score: 1

    For the most part my pc is the same. Execpt that if I sit in a certin spot next to my desk, my 10K scsi drive make my cordless phone tweek hard core, also it seems to affect the lower channels on the tv (not my tuner card at all just the tv set it's self).

  9. Re:There are good reasons for this. on Could We Have Had Cell Phones In The 60s? · · Score: 1

    I know it might not be popular here on slashdot, but I am *very* pro-DMCA. Hacking needs curtailed at all costs and if it means loss of the first amendment (which, IMO is crap anyways) or a bunch of "hackers" and "linux dorks" getting their asses raped in prison and infected with AIDS then it's worth it.

    Good thing for the First Amendment. /. would be goverment regulated, and your post would probably end up with you being fined or put into jail.

  10. Re:Silliness on Calling Out TiVo · · Score: 1

    Yes there is. I use a hauppauge card for capture, and avifile & vcr ( both can be found on Freshmeat ). I make a small script like this

    #!/bin/sh
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
    export PATH
    DATE=`date +%m%d%y`
    FILENAME=/path/to/myshow-6pm-$DATE.avi
    v4lctl setstation 3
    vcr -t 60m $FILENAME

    An call it from 'cron' or 'at'. Works very good, and the files are DivX;-) avi's so they are fairly small. Linux VCR-HOWTO

  11. Chip maker code names on AMD focuses efforts on Palomino core · · Score: 1

    I find it funny how chipmakers always change the names of their project, at ramdom. Remember that this CPU was supposed to be SledgeHammer at first. Now it ClawHammer, sound kinda weak to me.

    I still own the Model 200, and it still works. Talk about fast, 24K, built in 300 buad modem. Hell this was made before '87 as well.

    I'm starting to wonder where NCR gets their crack at.

  14. Re:What to buy? on Play DVDs On Linux · · Score: 1

    Secondly, the Netstream2000 is over $2000 and is for commercial use only. You probably couldn't get one even if you had the money to burn.

    Wrong! The Netstream2000 is $240.00 not $2000.00, I know I bought mine from insight.com. It is fully supported, t.v. out & video overlay, it is based on the EM8400 chip which does all decoding in hardware. The EM8300 (H+/DXR3)only decodes video, audio & css are done in software. Plus the Netstream2000 is not a commercial use only product just commercial grade.

  15. Re:digital only AC3 and/or DTS sound cards? on The PC As Theater: THX comes to the PC · · Score: 1

    1. it is too expensive - especially if you want the live platinum, for it's s/pdif outputs.

    All of the SB-Live cards have s/pdif connector, even the SB-Live value, it just on a pinout on the borad it's self. I have the x-gamer and it works just fine, s/pdif as well.

  16. Re:is it available on tape? on Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' Available On DVD! · · Score: 1

    you should know what you are talking about before you open your mouth and stick your foot into it. DVD decoder that works in linux and it legal.

    Well I fell for it, DOH! It does the same thing w/nutscrape in linux as it does in winblows.

  18. Re:Okay, dumb question .... on What Do You Think Of The Delux DVD? · · Score: 1

    I have the Netstream2000 from sigmadesigns, and yes it does do streaming video, but when you download the linux drivers, they come with a few apps to acually watch a DVD movie on your computer, the bunk part is to use it in linux you MUST buy the remotecontrol. The video overlay is very nice, and the tv out is very nice as well. The program miniplayer that comes with the drivers is the program that allows video overlay otherwise the default is tv-out. If you want DVD in linux and you want an awsome picture, this is defenitly the card to buy!

  19. Re:Okay, dumb question .... on What Do You Think Of The Delux DVD? · · Score: 1

    Better yet! go buy a Netstream2000 from SigmaDesigns. It is fully supported in linux, hardware css, video overlay, tv out. This card rocks! The only problem is the price is $200
