  1. Re:Sunlight==good on CRT Eavesdropping: Optical Tempest · · Score: 1

    The point I was making was that if you want sunlight during the day, you need windows. Windows (not WindowsTM) will allow people to see the blue flicker with their sensitive instruments during the night.

  2. get a grip? on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    Oh come on!

    I'm a final year Compsci at Cambridge University. I have to say that the course is much much more tedious than I expected, and it's not as fun as I expected studying a subject in such detail when I used to love to fiddling with related things.

    Believe it or not, University courses *are* boring... Just wait 'til you get out into the real world and rock!

  3. .NET porting on Reverse Engineering .NET - Good, Bad or Inevitable? · · Score: 1

    I'm sitting in a session @ M$ Tech-Ed europe, where they are explaining the details of .NET main /. story says:" Microsoftis free to add, extend and modifythe underlying protocol to breakany third-party implementation thatmay rear its head?" but here they are VERY keen to tell everyone that .NET frameworh isn't a proprietary standard: enough to fully implement has been submitted to a standards body! therefore, it SHOULD be possible to implement from ground up on Linux. P.S. C# looks very, very nice!

  4. Re:What About the 486 SX? on Top Ten Intel Slipups · · Score: 1

    No, the 80487 was the 80486DX which was identical to the 80486SX chips they sold bar a few disabled lines in the SX. People pretty quickly realised that they could make a motherboard that just took an 80487 i.e. an 80486DX

  5. Re:This is "Thinking Different"? on Apple Advertises "1-Click" Licensing · · Score: 2

    Apple *used* to innovate. Now they just copy, badly. Their current generation of G3/4 Motorola processors is undoubtably innovation by Motorola, but I was shocked when I recently bought a new iMac at just how little of the system architecture was designed by Apple and that they had *completely* turned their back on their old installed user base of peripherals by removing external ADB, Apple serial and scsi ports... ATi make their graphics cards. Oh, and another thing: I used to have respect for Macs because they usually could run the *pre*installed software without crashing very often. I powered up my brand new iMac, put in a dvd and... it crashed. I try to run a web browser, it crashed... etc etc. Bye bye Apple...
