  1. Re:KDE 3.0 Scoop on KDE 3.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    speaker for the dead rules, everything after that sucks, except ender's shadow was alright--In my opinion

  2. Re:Alumina (transparent or no...) Think BIG gems on Slashback: Decade, Fragmentation, RDRAM · · Score: 1

    thats kinda funny, it was probably worth ALOT less then what it cost to produce.

  3. Microsoft on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's website is the perfect example of a website that has always been clean, loads fast, and easy to navigate

  4. Re:Relative statistics? on Time on "Pirates of Primetime" · · Score: 1

    I agree, but looking at the corelation, I suspect that napster had some positive impact on record sales during it's previous life.

    Then again, as you stated, it's difficult to prove anything.

  5. Re:You're running on old hardware right? on How Well Does Windows Cluster? · · Score: 1

    My gaming machine and the machine I'm doing some 3d hacking on is a dell inspiron 8100 notebook with a 1ghz Tualatin, and xp runs great. Not as great as linux 2d wise, but still pretty good. (The 3d drivers for linux suck)

    XP runs fine on my duron 650 at work as well, a little memory intensive but fine none the less.

  6. Re:Relative statistics? on Time on "Pirates of Primetime" · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. Reference a year that happens to be after napster was shut down, and say "look! cd sales are down!" When in reality they increased, and were increasing still until napster was stopped.

  7. Re:eak... on Windows Tracks CDs & DVDs You Watch · · Score: 1

    its probably checking for updates, as by default it is setup to do so in the preferences.

  8. Re:Relative statistics? on Time on "Pirates of Primetime" · · Score: 1

    I thought cd sales went up for the years 1999 and 2000, and only declined after napster got shut down. Thats what I remember reading somewhere anyhow.

  9. Re:you know... on NOA to Sue for Flash Advance Linkers · · Score: 1

    I think that was the point they were trying to put across earlier, in that it is so vague that a lawyer could apply it to about anything. Thats why it currently holds the place of "big stick" for corporations to go around and beat people up with.

    With it being vague, it is also up for interpretation, but I think that about everyone can agree that it is evil.

  10. Re:DivX on Limited-Use DVD Technology · · Score: 1

    the difference I can see is that you dont have to return the movie after you "rent" it.

  11. Re:Who cares? on Satellite Radio: Tune In or Turn Off? · · Score: 1

    I'm willing to pay $10 a month compared to the crap we get around here... I like just turning on and listening to the radio when its not crap.

    I think alot of people feal the same way as well, I have alot of mp3's, but yet I still like to listen to the radio.

    heh, thats pretty funny.

  14. Re:Go do something else, maybe on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree, school is nothing like the real world.

  15. Re:Windows Update is worse... on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 1

    heh, NICE....

    looks like you went fishin' and caught something.

  16. Re:Think before you gripe.... on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 0

    I was thinking the exact same thing. When you plug it in it will just show up as another drive attatched to your system.

    BTW, a firewire card now is all of $20-$30 dollars. The cables cost more then the cards!

    I bought a 4pin to 6pin firewire cable for my sony notebook, and it costs $60.

  18. I tryed to do the same thing. on Make Your Own DSL · · Score: 1

    I actually tried to do just everything that artical just explained with these expensive 'LAN connector modems' back in like '95 that varied between 1-7Mbit depending on distance.

    From where I lived, I was on the same CO as a business that I worked with that had a real T1 (which at the time was more insain speeds then as recongized now).

    I tryed to get a 'dry copper pair' from us-west (now qwest as everyone knows), but they refused saying they were all out. I tryed to pull a few different ends of people I knew but to no avial, to this day I know that they had plenty of dry copper laying around in the ground...still pisses me off to this day.

    sorry, didn't mean it as a personal attack whatsoever nor to degrade what he knows....just kinda a friendly poke at MCSE...I've probably read that about DHCP a hundred times, hell its in the RFC. Then again most people probably wouldn't pay attention to pointless tidbits of information. I apologize

    You could theoritically do transparent proxing in both directions?

    can squid filter out the requests that exploit the security hole?

    That John Romero chick seams to be doing pretty good.

  24. Re:Ok on The Ultimate Limits Of Computers · · Score: 1

    You have to be carefull HOW fast you make it though or the FCC will limit you.

    "56K, thats just too damn fast!"

    so they limited it to 53K

  25. Re:Good heatsink on Is Your P4 Working At Half Speed? · · Score: 1

    Download the latest via 4 in 1 drivers. Verify that DMA is enabled in your disk's properties. I'm running an asus AV7 with 256 megs of viking cas3 memory at cas2 (133mhz) with an athlon 700@800 and a asus V6800 video card (gforce256 DDR) with the latest bios's in the mobo and vid card, with the latest drivers for everything (well, not THE latest, I dont want to reboot). I have win2k on the computer, it is rock solid stable. as of right now I have a month and a half up time. I have a 7200rpm HD, my computer is faster then I can window most of the time right now. Anyhow I'm not specifically an intel or amd freak, but the latest drivers/bios help alot. When I can find a notebook with a gforce2 go, and 32 meg of DDR memory linux is going on my desktop permanantly.
