  1. I for one on Star Wreck 6 Finally Complete · · Score: 1

    I, for one, will be preordering this.

    I might even order one for my parents.

  2. Now that on IBM Grid Near 50,000 machines - Slashdot Users #13 · · Score: 1

    Now that was a funny advertisement. 79 users? By the time it takes me to write this sentence, at least that many will have joined up.

    Seriously, I'm already running Folding@home, and have been for a while now. Processing for cancer is cooler than cranking for IBM. Sorry guys.

    From what it appears, IBM's newest creation seems to be a poorly created or prematurely released distributed project: only Windows apps, and only dual processor support included. As someone else mentioned, HT isn't enabled for those who have the hardware capable.

    When they finish their project and have proper clients, then this will be news.

  3. Hrm on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 1

    It could work, but making every day land on the same day of the week could result in some days being perpetually reserved at the country club or high school, for instance; that leaves little room for a change of dates to shake things up.

  4. Re:"Massive"? Kids these days. on Massive Layoffs At AOL · · Score: 1

    I had a similar impression... since when does 750 count as Massive?

    About 508's posting, I almost left my chair.

  5. Re:Already Solved - Vanadium Redox on 230mph Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Whoa. I've never heard of that before.

    That would work quite well, as its just a fluid exchange. Heck, it might be easy to convert the existing infrastructure to use this.

  6. Re:Bittorrent... on Halo 2 Available on the Net · · Score: 1

    Since I cant boost this up past +5, I'll just post.

  7. Re:Version on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1

    Well, they're going off the same old numbering scheme:

    one...
    two...
    FIVE!

  8. Careful on Vehicles of Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    The addage "Dont stare at the cliff you dont want to hit" now applies even more...

    On a serious note, what does this mean for billboards and similar advertising?

  9. Re:Hyperthreading on AMD vs Intel: A Linux Bout · · Score: 1

    Chances are very, very likely that it has nothing to do with either processor type.

  10. Opinions... on Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thought that this was a great movie?

  11. Re:On a related note: on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    That was random....

  12. Re:Nice on paper on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 1

    Very interesting - and thats exactly how we can solve two problems at once. While we're all arguing about whether or not wind power is actually usable economically, and the fact that using hydrogen to send power is wasteful, the fact that its both a power source AND a solution to at least Florida's water supply issue makes it a lot better deal for the money.

  13. Re:It deserves scrutiny on Last Words On Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    Ironically, very insightful.

    Think about it - you've got a whole team of tech people... and you're going to force them to use a dell rather than building systems for the dept?

  14. Re:Choices on MSIE 7 May Beat Longhorn Out The Gate · · Score: 1

    ::shrug::
    Message still works.

  15. Choices on MSIE 7 May Beat Longhorn Out The Gate · · Score: 0

    A new Internet Explorer with nice support and better features later...

    or a Mozilla/Opera browser with nice support and better features [b]now[/b].....

    Tough call.

    Still, it's a move in the right direction, and it shows that even the developers know that IE has issues, and they [i]want[/i] to fix it.

  16. Re:In other news on Windows XP SP2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I made the mistake of taking a drink while reading that.

    (:

  17. Re:W-O-R-M on RFID More Hackable Than Retailers Think? · · Score: 1

    You still don't even need to decrypt whatever it is!

    All you really will need is to copy all the RFID data from a cheaper item, encryption and all, and dump it on another piece.

  18. Re:This is why... on Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users · · Score: 1

    I wish I had a mod point for that post.
    +1 Insightful

  19. Re:Modern OS on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 1

    ::troll feeding::

    Its the option of being able to remove / not install it that we're talking about

  20. True purpose on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    With a system THAT powerful, Im sure it won't simply be doing just that, particularly with the US draft nearing readiness.

  21. B5 on Babylon 5 Creator Pitches Trek · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If he has enough ideas to make another trek show, he might as well spend the time to create another series in the B5 universe - it will be better received.

  22. If they begin to charge... on AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences · · Score: 1

    If AIM services begin to be charged, they will alienate their obscenely large user base, and fleeing users will start using ICQ/MSN/Yahoo/etc. instead.

    This also might give the guys at Gaim-vv a boost via incentives and volunteer manpower.

  23. That cusp on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    Someone already said it here about the report... where it goes up to 75%, drops way down until it reaches 97% lifelike.

    right now, the real-time rendering is getting to that 75 - 90% mark, so things are looking a bit creepy, but give it a few months or years, and it'll then start to look very, very odd...

  24. Re:If I spend quite a bit of time, why not. on Gaming PC Makers Take Aim at Lucrative Niche · · Score: 1

    If I pick up a 286 in someone's trash,

    bang for buck would be:

    x / 0 -> infinity.

    Woo! Infinite bang for the buck. Screw those P4EE's and the FX-53's, Im gonna get myself some 286
    's!

  25. Re:Actually on McDonald's and Sony Offer Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    lol...

    I was going to mod this, but there wasnt a -1 Nausiating
