    How long before these virtual models are available on porn sites for...people other than lonely geeks like myself...to dress / undress.

  2. Re:Palm OS? on Linux Headed For Smartphone Domination? · · Score: 1

    I know you can hotsync the palm to a computer IR port but I have no idea if you can use the hotsync connection as a modem. I think I remember reading you could once but don't remember.

    As far as analog, I have no clue.

  3. Palm OS? on Linux Headed For Smartphone Domination? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What about palm for smartphones? As a longtime user of the Kyocera 6035 who recently upgraded to a Treo 600 I've fallen in love with the palm-based smart phones. I've looked at some windows ones and they just have *too* much functionality so that it all gets confused and horribly complicated. I haven't looked much at Symbian based ones but they didn't seem to have as many features and certainly not the broad application base either Palm or Windows have. As far as Linux are there any smartphones out there based on it?

  4. Why not from the beginning? on Microsoft Agrees Settlement Over MikeRoweSoft.com · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What I don't understand is why Microsoft didn't do this from the beginning. They send a legal threat and find out they're dealing with some kid. Instead of turning around to sue the hell out of the kid if they had just offered this from the beginning there would never have been any story and this would be a complete non-issue.

  5. Re:Friendster is so 2003 on Google Social Network: Orkut · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think you are confusing balding 40-year old men who pretend to be teenage girls online with actual women.

    Or maybe I'm confusing AOL chat rooms with friendster.

  6. Maybe the sole source for one group on Arrest in Caridi FBI Investigation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I highly doubt that he is the "sole source" for all DVD screeners. It simply wouldn't make sense considering how many groups there are out there releasing them in competition with each other and with different versions. If there was one source there would be one group always getting the first release for every movie, which just isn't the case. My best guess was that he was OBUS's source. They're the only group that released all of the movies listed in the article and while they are a major group, they're far from the largest or most well known.

  7. Re:Effective pipeline on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 1
    You are sort of correct. It's actually that when it's not in cache the pipeline gets *lenghtened*. From this post over at Ace's:
    P4 Willamette and Northwood have a 20 stage pipeline when seen from the trace cache. However, including the decode path which stores its results in the trace cache, the pipeline is 28 stages.
  8. Re:Scientific work on optimal pipeline depth on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 1

    because we know that SPEC and stuff like 3dmark is the reason we buy computers. If fact, that's all I ever use my computer for, to make myself feel good about having the fastest one.

  9. Technical discussion on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 4, Informative

    For those into the technical side of this type of stuff and heck of a lot higher S/N ration, check out the Ace's Hardware forum. There's a large thread going on overthere taking about the rumors and what it would actually mean.

    and also hasn't (really, they've been working on the next version but nothing's really come out) been updated for months. And is quite buggy. And franky just doesn't download as fast as most other clients. That said I use it all the time because it's nice to run in the background getting rare stuff.

  13. Treo 600 on Spotlight On Windows-Powered Gadgets And Gizmos · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just got myself a Treo 600 for Christmas and I think it balances pretty well. True it is a Palm first with a phone built into it, but it works. One of the palm applications buttons is a phone button. Once on the phone screen you can make a call either by using the direction-pad thing to scroll to a contact / favorites list or by dialing on the keyboard. True it has a built-in camera, but I'll probably end up ignoring it. The battery life's great from what I've found so far (couple of days easily). The only downside to it is the keyboard buttons are a little small untill you get used to them.
