  1. about your controller on SATA vs ATA? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Instead of using a card from Promise, think about using one from 3WARE. I speak from experience.

  2. suing for the name on Google to be Sued Over Name? · · Score: 1

    If you're going to sue them for the name, might as well take their server farm too. Boy, wouldn't that be a sweet deal. Protien folding here I come.

  3. Re:The drive might be fast, but the media... on Plextor First With A 12x DVD+R Drive · · Score: 4, Informative

    Much of the media out there as DVD+R that says it is 4x media will also burn at 8x. I have the Plextor 708A drive, 8x DVD+R burner, and I buy 4x Memorex media and burn at 8x with no problems. You may want to look at DVDRhelp.com and see what media burns at what. The list covers 25 different media brands and tells exactly how fast they will burn at with what burners, etc.

  4. XM on ClearChannel Complains About XM, Sirius Radio · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am a subscriber to XM radio and have been for almost a year. I don't listen to public radio anymore. If I could get uncensored comedy and headline news from a public radio station, we wouldn't have a need for subscription services. I think that if I'm paying for service, then XM/Sirius are more than welcome to push any content to me that they want, minus commercials.

  8. protecting from viruses on Nasty New Virus Variants · · Score: 4, Interesting

    the ISPs need to have some server-side virus scan running. we do through our company's email server, and so far, it seems to work like a champ

  9. software on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    I work at Best Buy part time as a Service Technician. We have been using PC Certify until recently we just quit, as a store. It sucks. Anything over 256 ram it misreports, doesn't notice anything higher than a P3 or lower mhz thunderbird. We use Knoppix, and three other cd's we ordered off of the internet to do any troubleshooting now found out within a few minutes. If you would like copies of the three other cd's we use, I am more than happy to accomodate. Email me at my profile email account.

  15. Blogging... on How Everyday Things Are Made · · Score: 0, Funny

    For years I have been attentively reading these online "blogs." Recently, it came to my attention, however, that I could read one every morning without ever having to fire up my PC. All I have to do is look between my legs when I take my morning shit. Sometimes it even burns my eyes, like looking directly into the sun. For this reason, I have termed myself a "blog factory." I have also noticed a correlation between diet and the number of blog entries I can produce in a given day. Sometimes I am unable to produce blog entries for extended periods of time. I have termed this condition "gastric bloggage." Sometimes I check the factory output log and know that a blog entry has been produced, but when I look into the shipping area, it is gone. Sometimes when I walk down the street, a dog will produce a blog entry in front of me in some attempt to communicate. I shove the blog entry into my ears and eyes, but I am still unable to understand. One day though...

  16. Daylight Savings Time on Managing Batch Jobs for Several Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    Just remember that when you have them run for each time zone, there is a thing called Daylight Savings Time in some time zones, and not in others. Depending on where your facilities might be, there are some places in Nevada for example that are in a Daylight Savings Time area, and other parts that are not. Just remember to offset those by an hour when DST occurs and when it goes back to normal time.

  17. patents on Netflix Granted Patent on DVD Subscription Rentals · · Score: 1

    You know, I think I'm going to patent the male hardon, that way, when all of you have sex (which I'm assuming most of you do, in one way or another), you will all owe me money.

    This whole patent thing is getting out of hand, no pun intended.

  19. the downside on AOL will launch TiVo-like Mystro service · · Score: 1, Informative

    The reason that all the equipment is going to be at the cable provider is because of the fact that with this new service, you will not be able to skip commercials like you are able to with tivo. Most of the same features are there, pausing live tv, skipping shows, etc. But, from what I have heard, you will not be able to skip commercials, and there will be commercial pop-ups when the tivo is in a freeze frame. Companies that advertise don't like tivo for the fact that nobody sees their ads anymore.

  21. Re:Behind the times. on SGI launches R16000 · · Score: 4, Informative

    You really cannot compare a 700Mhz MIPS chip to a 3000Mhz x86 p4.

    You must remember, the R16000 is 64-bit, not 32-bit.
    Also, it has 4000k of L2 cache, not 256k or 512k.
    Also, out-of-order instruction execution, x86 chips can't do this.

    you are trying to compare two things that are completely different.
