  1. What exactle is "spendy"? on 22" 9.2-Million Pixel Display · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to know...

  2. ..Great But... on AMD Allies with Transmeta · · Score: 1

    When are the smp athlon systems coming out.

  3. Bandwidth Hogs on How Fast Too Slow? A Study Of Quake Pings · · Score: 1

    I think server operators should lower their 'maxrate' setting so that LPB cant hog all the servers bandwidth when they connect. Make things a littel more even for everyone and the game will be better for everyone. Just my opinion though! -Rex "40 Dog" Ruther

  4. Re:Wow. What a concept! on Time Warner Says Employees Must Use AOL Mail · · Score: 1

    Except for their Hotmail Servers that is!

  5. Re:Quake 1? on PanQuake · · Score: 1

    I think the used q1 because the source is open. I dont think q3 is...yet.

  6. Con Ed in on it too on Internet Access Via Pneumatic Tubes -- Whooosh! · · Score: 1

    Here is a good link to what Con Ed (NYC's Utility company) is doing to get in on the act. Notice they can get a whole telecom network for $110 million

  7. Re:what is with some people on Visualization Plugins & G-Force, Oh My! · · Score: 1

    I remember a cool cartoon when I was a kid (late 70's i think) that used the term g-force. What a great show. To bad I cant find it on the tube anymore. Perhaps the names been borrowed from this show?

  8. Re:Ethernet on trains on Ethernet For Model Trains? · · Score: 1

    They already have automatic train control on trains in London (Docklands Light Rail) and other places. It's cool.... you can sit in the front of the train with NO driver.

    A little disturbing at first, but it works great.

    I'm pretty sure it's not ethernet though, because it's not real-time.

  9. Headline form the year: 2040 on Launch Your Own Picosatellite · · Score: 1

    ...Astronaut Greg McDaniel was Killed this morning when his spacecraft encountered a small antique untracked satellite known as as "Picosatellite". His family was in a state of shock...

  10. Yes, Too Big! on Linux Distributions Are Too Big · · Score: 1

    I just tried to install RH7 on a 500 MB partition. The standard workstation install failed because of lack of disk space. Tried to removed several packages. Got muddled in missing dependancies then gave up after a few hours. The thing is, I am new to linux and dont know exactly what each package does and what is dependant on it. I know there is some discriptive info for each package, but its not enough. It could be better.

  11. Re:Odd choice on Build Your own Ms. Pac-Man machine from Scratch · · Score: 1

    Scramble was one of my favorite video games. I'd love to see how to make one of those.

  12. Re:Something you might not know on Nattering Nabobs Of NASA Negativity · · Score: 1

    FYI...Foam such as that may be a fire hazard problem.

  13. Re:Bad analogy on Pentium 4 And Brookdale Update · · Score: 1

    In fact bought a corvette engine and put it in a chevelle. It does 90+.

  14. Let's See... on FCC to Require Anti-Piracy Features in Digital TVs · · Score: 1

    Let's see... I watched the Brady Bunch way too much and have the theme song imprinted in my brain. Is this a legal copy or is it my own property? The quality is pretty good, and I can sing it verbatim on a street corner. Perhaps I should send in royalities or something. If it isn't legal please send a legion of hungry lawyers my way ASAP. This song is driving me crazy.

  15. How Pay Pal Makes $$$ on Micropayment Wars Are Over... PayPal Wins? · · Score: 3

    Just to let everyone know. The reason PayPal is giving away $5 to each new user is because they make more than $5 on the balance left in your PayPal account.

    It very similar to the way American Express makes a fortune on their travelers checks. All those unused travlers checks out there = $$$ in AMEX's pocket which it can invest to make more $$$.

    Not that travelers checks/paypal are bad. They both make it more secure to make transactions in unfamilar environments.

    My advice is to transfer your $$$ out of your account ASAP and for you to make the $$$ not them.

    Cash in those unused travlers checks also!

    That is all -click!-
