    NASA satellite crashes minutes after launch:

  2. ps2 on Sony Announces Version 1.0 Of Linux for Playstation 2 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why do we want this again?

  3. Re:GeForce 4? on Nvidia Geforce 4 (NV25) Information · · Score: 1

    GeforceXP?

    I could not stop myself.

  4. um on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We dont have weekends or friends, we have THE SIMS!

  5. Re:Forgot a REAL test! on Tom's Hardware KVM Roundup · · Score: 1

    How could a KVM switch slow down your FPS? I could understand the video signal degrading because of the lengthened signal path but could it actually decrease the rendering speed?

  6. WTF?! on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1

    It would be so ironic if they started purchasing back copies of 2600.

  7. Damm on TrollTech Releases Qt 3.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Damm I thought this was some sort of first post/goatsc.ex tool with a GUI.

  8. Re:802.11(b) on Wanted - 45 Mile Wireless Broadband? · · Score: 1

    "It might work or it might not."

    Spoken like a true telco/isp tech.

  9. video mirror? on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 1

    There is video of the second plane on TV - anyone got a link?

  10. Re:Investigative reporting on What's the Best Online News Story You've Read Lately? · · Score: 1

    Damm - I was going to post this one also! Aside from the technical information we geeks crave, I think it was well written and interesting from a story point of view.

  11. Yeah, it's CTS on Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome A Hoax? · · Score: 1

    As a sufferer of a wrist aggravation I would have to guess that many of these types of problems are miss-diagnosed.

    One morning I woke up and my thumb was almost completely numb. I went to see a doctor and one of the first questions he asked was what I did for a living. After I told him I was an IT professional the diagnosis period ended even though all the doctor did was a few reflex type tests. He told me to wear a brace when I slept and it would go away which it did, but I have often wondered if that was really the problem. I have problems with my mouse hand from time to time but not the other.

    I think many people place way too much faith in the opinion of doctors. It's true I could have gone for a second opinion but I figured I would get more of the same.

  12. Fire Fire on Dell Notebooks Catch On Fire! · · Score: 1

    Looks like another job for nosmoke.exe .

  13. Filtering is not fair to all artists on Aimster Seeks Protection From RIAA Demands · · Score: 3

    The thing that gets me is it's not possible to copyright a song title.

    How do they propose to block people from downloading artists who want their music blocked while accommodating the artists who want people to share their music?

    I know this is beating a dead horse but it's just another example of how the artists are not the ones being serviced here. On the other hand, maybe the industry is just doing it's best to control a situation that is pretty clearly out of control.

    The thing that really sucks is that for many, the choice is to sell out to the suits, or not be heard.

    How many of you have made any kind of effort to support a local musician, painter, poet or fire eater? In my area, unless you band is playing Steve Miller covers, your gig is going to be in a coffee house to 6 people. I am not saying it's impossible to make a living soing such gigs, but, it's pretty hard.

  14. bugtraq on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    Holy crap! Software with bugs?! I can't believe it! A few posts mentioned reading bugtraq. A quick search on Google gave me several different sites. Could someone nudge me in the proper direction?

  15. Lets be Honest on College Board AP CompSci Exam Will Be In Java · · Score: 1

    Kids would get more of a technical education reading this web site. I was happy to see they are at least headed in a direction now...

  16. Why is this bad? on Fabulous Prize: A Trip To The Intl. Space Station · · Score: 2

    Imagine the kind of technology NASA could create with the cash that Survivor/Millionaire/Who wants to be an International Space Station Astronaut would generate. Would the interest generated by an increased popularity destroy pure research? Why do these keep getting canned? If Bill Gates wants to build IIS 2005.1 I say we let him. (you wouldn't get me on it though)

  17. Video Games and Violence on Interview With Gary Gygax About Game Violence · · Score: 1

    I have played A LOT of Quake/Doom and I have never killed anyone.
