  1. Whoah this is so cool on Get Your Palm On The Network · · Score: 3

    what would be even cooler though is if each palm pilot could act as a node in a self-growing network. with sufficient bandwith and rollout as well as a few repeaters, you could have a totally wireless network that is actually built simply by people having palm pilots near you. that would kick the crap out of just using infared docking.

  2. bad idea on Red Hat Is Not Linux (dot org) · · Score: 1

    no matter whether you like it or not redhat is a standard, and standards are what we need in linux, they bring us together. trying to push people away from redhat only serves to fragment linux and the community. (no, i don't run redhat(or mandrake for that matter))

  3. Re:Katz and OOG on DNA Testing Of Deep Ancestry · · Score: 1

    He thinks Katz is an idiot. That is the reference point to compare oog to. And katz is "spectacularly different than you or I." for starters he is an idiot, is annoying as hell, writes meaningless, insulting drivel, and has front page post access. i don't see how being called a peer of Jon Katz can be construed as anything other than an insult. and i can still judge him by the quality, or the lack thereof, of what he writes.(this is much like how any other slashdot user is judged)

  4. the facts? on Dinosaurs May Have Been Warm-Blooded · · Score: 1

    get the facts to your theories?

  5. Re:wierd on The World's Largest Game Of Tetris · · Score: 1

    you're not on lsd or shrooms now are you?

  6. wierd on The World's Largest Game Of Tetris · · Score: 1

    i don't think i see the connection, but damn that prof seems wierd.

  7. hehe on The World's Largest Game Of Tetris · · Score: 1

    reminds me of in high school when we spelled out [creative] stuff on the scoreboards. oh well, i never got caught

  8. The crew on Tech Stocks Tumble · · Score: 1

    cmdrtaco and hemos run the site, the rest of the people are allowed in by them. personally i think they do a much worse job of things because they *aren't* nerds(think katz), but hemos and malda are interesting. and roblimo is an idiot, and i don't find that neccessary to back up. what i would love to know is how robin was selected as a /. editor.

  9. nice on More Of Palm Product Line To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    wireless devices like this are cool, especially when the wireless service doesn't cost an arm and a leg. the nice thing with palm pilots is that they don't need all that fast of a connection, so that should keep costs down.

  10. brute forced? on Proposed Wireless Encryption Method Cracked · · Score: 1

    well rc5-128 can be brute forced as well, but it's plenty secure. i don't get why they even make encryption standards lower than 64 bits.

  11. nice chips on Celeron 2 Overclocking · · Score: 2

    while the new celerons are nice chips, they definitely fall far behind the coppermines at comperable speeds, for a detailed celeron vs coppermine article check this one at hardocp

  12. aphanumerica rocks on Report From The Mozilla Developer Meeting · · Score: 1

    they do some of the coolest mozilla skins

  13. good points on Everything Is Cooler With A Peltier · · Score: 1

    if you have a case with plenty of ventilation, as well as good fans on the peltiers, they will add to the life of the CPU. That said, I've never seen a cpu that was burnt out from normal usage or electron migration, but have seen hundreds of failed harddrives and a handful of shot ram. i would consider a peltier a good idea when attempting to cool the cpu in an attempt to overclock it, but maybe a little overkill if it's just to increase life of a normally operating chip. but heh, peltiers do have a serious coolness factor.

    think of a peltier cooling a chip and then a watercooling system cooling the hot side of the peltier, that my friend is pretty high on the cool scale :)

    go with a peltier, and use it as the excuse to overclock a teensy bit :)

  14. skins on Suck On Skins And UI · · Score: 1

    mozillazine redid their chrome section, chromezone
    check the aphrodite one, it is *very* nice looking.

  15. peltiers are bad for long term on Everything Is Cooler With A Peltier · · Score: 2

    don't go with a peltier, they generate tons of excess heat. while they may keep the CPU nice and cool all of the other peripherals will be hotter as a result. It's extremely rare for a CPU to quit functioning in only 5 years. However other components such as RAM and Harddrives(especially harddrives) fail far more often. Not to mention that they have a far lower MTBF (mean time between failure) when run in an overheated environment(which a peltier cooler will do to the rest of the components in your case.
    My advice would be to get a good heatsink-fan combo and a well ventilated case instead.

  16. try vorbis by Xiphophorus on Best Live Streaming MP3 Solution? · · Score: 4

    vorbis is higher quality density than mp3 and it doesn't have encumbering patents and licencing.

  17. MOD THAT UP on AOL + Time-Warner Worse Than Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    i think you are exactly right, linux can be way too powerful, because unlike aol and ms, it doesn't totally suck

  18. as much as aol sucks on AOL + Time-Warner Worse Than Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    as much as they suck they keep on growing, how do they do it?
