  1. Re:Dear broadcasters: on New Patent on TV Forces You to Watch Ads · · Score: 1

    A better reaction would have been to stuff all the pieces of paper (with or without shit) in the prepaid envelope they sent and mail it back.

  2. Uh-oh on Duke Nukem Forever Update · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wait, I thought it was released 13 days ago...

  3. Re:Stupid dire warnings. on The World's Strongest Glue · · Score: 1

    You forgot to mention airplanes and the space shuttle.

  4. Re:Okay, maybe not official, but... on Games That Defined The Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    Yep.

    Tomtom has very good voice guidance.

  6. Re:The most useful I've found... on GPS for the Windows Mobile 5? · · Score: 1

    Forgot to mention, for receiver I use a bluetooth Holux GPSlim 236 - you can find them on eBay for around $100. Works great.

  8. Re:timing on ARM Offers First Clockless Processor Core · · Score: 1

    Poll a timer. Or use a timer to generate an interrupt.

  9. Re:timing on ARM Offers First Clockless Processor Core · · Score: 1

    Nothing stops you from having an oscillator with counter attached for timekeeping purposes. Dallas Semi has dozens of options, especially for microcontroller designs.

  10. Re:Poul-Henning clarifies on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I own a DI-604. I just went to D-Link's support site and tried to download the latest firmware for it. There wasn't any. I poked around, nothing. I went to their FTP site, the directory that should have held firmware upgrades was empty. Poked around in other directories, many firmwares for other routers are also missing.

    Looks to me like someone is covering tracks.

  11. Re:Here comes the quotes! on No New Series of Futurama · · Score: 1

    Anyway, that was the best nanosecond of my life

    No, this one was.... No, this one.... This one was slightly worse... So far so good on this one!

  12. So in other words... on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 1

    ...if I don't pay the goodmail tax, I won't be able to send emails to an AOL address.

    Big whoop.

    Moving on.

  13. My view on the ten reasons on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    1. Linux, linux, linux.
    2. Firefox. Konqueror.
    3. Couldn't care less
    4. See #3
    5. Linux
    6. See #4
    7. See above
    8. Shell script does it
    9. I was wrong, I could care less.
    10. ??? I can install Slackware in under 10 minutes, and have been doing so for the past 4-5 years. Is this really a selling point? If so I truly feel sorry for Microsoft.

    So excuse me if I don't buy it.

  14. Re:A far more interesting hack on OSx86 Cracked Again · · Score: 1

    Second that.

  15. Re:What a great Valentines day!! on OSx86 Cracked Again · · Score: 1

    No I guess it's based on GSX, not ESX. ESX is still in the lineup of products.

  16. Re:No comparison on Robot Pets Almost as Good as Real Ones? · · Score: 1

    So would be a robotic dog if it were programmed by Microsoft.

    Zing!

  17. Re:But will it come with a rootkit? on New Sony E-Book Device To Debut This Year · · Score: 1

    Sony is a big company. The dudes who put the rootkit in the CD's aren't the dudes who make Spider-man and aren't the dudes who make the eBook and they aren't the dudes who make the cameras and aren't the dudes who make the stereo systems and aren't the dudes who make the video cameras and aren't the dudes who make the PlayStation or the PlayStation games.

    No. But they all subscribe to the same corporate code of ethics - because they have to while being employees of the corporation.

  18. Re:what comes after Pentium? Sexium? on Intel Dropping Pentium Brand · · Score: 1

    Oooh yeah baby... take theat heatsink off. Ooooh yeah.

  19. Re:Water Cooled from the start on Water Cooling an Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Nope - I opened mine up many times, no watercooling there.

    Unless you mean that someone did it as a project. But the stock Dreamcast had no watercooling.

  20. Re:Happy Xmas on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    He knows when you are sleeping.
    He knows when you're on the can.
    He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan.
    Ohh.
    You better not breathe, you better not move.
    You better off dead, I'm telling you dude,
    Santa Claus is gunning you down.

  21. Re:Yeah but.... on S3 Graphics Comes out of Hiding with Chrome20 · · Score: 1

    Ahhh yes. I remember using a S3 ViRGE card... the original video decelerator. In certain circumstances using a non-accelerated, plain video card would give you better performance than the ViRGE.

  22. Re:Perhaps not... on Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets · · Score: 1

    Lakes? How about covering oceans. LOL The amount of water released from hydrogen burning if all the cars in the world were converted to it would be probably 1/1,000,000 of the total evaporation from oceans and other open water surfaces.

  23. Re:Reverse It on Earth Departure Movie From MESSENGER Spacecraft · · Score: 1
