  1. Building a MineSweeper player? on Reverse Engineering MineSweeper · · Score: 1

    So they are going to build a bot to play MineSweeper? I didn't think it was that hard to begin with.

  2. Re:I wonder... on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Nice B5 quote in a ST reference.

  3. Re:URL for HTTP-fetchable XML on Weather Data Available in XML · · Score: 1

    This only gives you current weather information.
    What the XML service gives you is a forecast.

  4. Re:IPv6 and Teredo on Cheap Point-To-Point VoIP Through NAT? · · Score: 1

    Actually That won't work under SP2.

  5. Re:Can I axe you a question? on WinAmp's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    I think they used their exit strategy.
    This is just a spin by AOL.

    All is lost ... wait, this guy says all is not lost, let's go with him.

    Or not, who knows.
    I went with Sonique over Winamp until Sonique was bought out.

    You be the judge.

  6. I've got an easy fix. on Will Wind Power Change Earth's Climate? · · Score: 1

    Just take a line of those windmills, point half to the North Pole, half to the South pole, and hook them into the grid.
    I bet we can keep the temperature variant steady, and still make power.

  7. Okay, But are they fast enough for 3D? on Are LCD Displays Ready For Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I have a cool set of 3D glasses (you know the LCD shutter kind).
    What I want to know is: Are the new fast LCD monitors able to do that sort of thing?

    I haven't even found a good fast phosphor CRT that doesn't ghost with the 3D glasses.

  8. Utlr@VNC has my vote, Hands down. on Which VNC Software Is Best? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It has the best features of the differnt VNC flavors all wrapped into one.
    It can use NT authentication, has an encryption plugin, auto selects the best transfer mode, has a video driver, and too many features to list. I have it on all of my servers at work.
    The file transfer is one of my favorite options.

  9. It's about time (from an Ohioan) on Judge Says Ohio Must Allow Provisional Ballots · · Score: 1

    Ohio is a very republican state.
    I live in one of the most republican counties.
    I live in a village with a corrupt council and mayor.

    Now I don't have to worry about not getting to vote this year. (Why did I vote for Nader last time?)

    At least we didn't adopt crappy, no paper trail, e-voting machines. Maybe next year.

  10. First of 2 Steps on Liberated Games Launches · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if we could just liberate them from the /. effect.

  11. Re:60 of the most influential? on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    I would say you are dead wrong there.
    If these movies are influencing scientists, then they are important, even if they aren't the best.
    This list has meaning to me.
    I think it would only be divisive to people who can't tolerate other peoples opinions.

    Your thoughts determine your reality.

  12. Re:Logan's Run on Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film · · Score: 1

    I was just a kid when that came out.
    I remember that there was a series only because the actors were different.
    I still watch it when it comes on TV.

  13. Re:Boss of eWEEK.com here on Ziff Davis To Website: License To Link, Updated · · Score: 1

    Bravo for responding to this.
    I am an eWeek subscriber.
    This would make a great article.
    Don't forget people love humble pie (when they're not eating it) 8^)

  14. Re:Obvious by looking at whats happening on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 1

    Ok, maybe my sight isn't that good. What does it say on her hat and shirt. I blew up the image but I still don't recognize it.

  15. Re:Trojans/worms now know how to uninstall SP1 on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 1

    That's why you slipsteam the Service Packs and Hotfixes into your XP Install disc.

  16. This thing needs a killer app ... on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 1

    Quote from the site: "With no special software"

    Finally, just what I'm looking for.

  17. Re:Would you rather Spam Filters were Illegal? on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1

    I agree. I work for an ISP and I am updating our Modus Gate anti-spam/virus program right now.
    In 5 minutes I will check the quarantine to see if it is working. If the ruling were the other way, I would be a criminal.

    What we NEED is good legislation that protects all forms of communication without putting me out of a job.

  18. Try using good gear on Is VOIP Over WLAN DOA? · · Score: 1

    I work for a wireless ISP. We use Cisco wireless bridges that support Spectralink Voice Priority QOS. We have no problems with VoIP.

  19. Re:Tungsten T3! on Best PDA To Read e-Texts On? · · Score: 1

    Uh, you are wrong. It does not have better resolution, it has worse.

  20. Re:A 'Box-Set' indeed! on Pioneer Electron Beam DVD · · Score: 1

    I believe Reading and Writing are 2 different things. One would use the electron beam to make the master, then using optical "tricks" you could use some blue or UV laser(s) to read it.

  21. Re:Expensive on Commercials Come To The Net (After This Word) · · Score: 1

    I agree. There should be a way to Opt-Out of this, possibly through their ISP. It looks like it could be subverted through cunning use of non-IE browsers or just chuck Media Player.

  22. I have to work there. on Hamvention · · Score: 1

    I'll be in a vendor booth. There is a lot of cool stuff there. I bought an FM Stereo transmitter there. Now I can listen to my streaming MP3s within a 3 mile radius on my car stereo. BTW, with FM higher is better.

  23. Re:Missing information on Platinum Nanomuscles Developed · · Score: 1

    100 Volts really mean anything without the amount of current it consumes. The only thing that voltage tells you is potential.

  24. Re:What I remember of Ender's Game. on Ender's Game Influences US Army Training · · Score: 1

    Do the ends justify the means?

  25. Try a new card on Improving Indoors Wi-Fi Reception? · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to add an antenna, you may want to try a card from http://www.engeniustech.com/
    They offer client cards that run at 200mw, about %50 more range (theoretically) than a Cisco card (which is also very good at 100mw).
