  1. I guess on Incas Used Binary? · · Score: 5, Funny

    That means that the Incas were a bit advanced! :P

  2. Slightly OT - The SCO dog ;) on SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo · · Score: 3, Informative

    Userfriendly has modified a Gary Larson (Farside) comic to fit SCO! It's quite funny!

  3. Re:That will be interesting! on Asia's Space Race: China vs. India · · Score: 1

    Your anti-hoax site says 6% of americans believe it. I think that's a lot ;)

  4. That will be interesting! on Asia's Space Race: China vs. India · · Score: 1, Troll

    I wonder if they will actually LAND on the moon. According to a LOT of people, Armstrong & Co. did not! Some of the pictures are pretty convincing! Though I am not entirely sure that I am conviced myself ;)
    Also the matter of cosmic radiation etc... Interesting, interesting!

  5. Re:This just in! [-1, Redundant] on PCI Express - Coming Soon to a PC Near You · · Score: 0

    I saw after my submit :-P figures ;)

  6. This just in! [-1, Redundant] on PCI Express - Coming Soon to a PC Near You · · Score: 0, Redundant

    PCI Express will not replace PCI. PCI will be backwards compatible, and for the convenience of OEMs PCI will be renamed PCI Express, the faster PCI Express will be henceforth be known as PCI Express Hi-Speed, and the PCI PCI Express will be known as PCI Express Full-Speed.

    Someone had to...

  7. Whooooa! on PCI Express - Coming Soon to a PC Near You · · Score: 1

    I am speechless! "PCI Express currently runs at 2.5Gbps, or 250MBps per lane in each direction, providing a total bandwidth of 16GBps in a 32-lane configuration."

    What can I say: WOW! - Hello gigabit netcards, (multiple) extreme graphics adapters etc!

  8. That should be easy on Brokerage Instant Messages Must Be Saved · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just build a custom Jabber server that saves everything serverside!

    Call it Corporate Jabber or something... Users should, however, be warned of the logging!

    Recently, here in Denmark, an employee of a company was dragged in court, because she was sending private mails from work (through an online dating site). The court ruled that it was ok, and that the company should stay out of the employees private life - even if she had some [private life] at work. Go Denmark ;)

    Anyway, there are lots of things to think about when logging...

  9. A small joke on Scientists Grow Decaffeinated Coffee Plants · · Score: 1

    A man walked into a restaurant and seated himself. Soon, the waitress came over to take his order, "...and to drink?" she asked. The man said he would like coffee.

    The waitress promptly returned with a cup of coffee, but spilled it on the man's lap when she stopped at the table. "Oh my god, I am so sorry!"

    "That's OK," the man said sopping up the puddle on his pants with his a napkin. "But tell me, is this regular or decaf?"

    "Regular," she replied.

    "Oh great, now this thing is going to be up all night!"

  10. I don't know... on Roswell Declassified · · Score: 1, Funny

    The Truth Is Out There... And besides... I Want To Believe ;-)

  11. Superior windows/linux client on Jabber Gathers Steam In Australia · · Score: 2, Informative

    IMO the best jabber client for the windows platform (and linux platform) is Psi - http://psi.affinix.com - I don't use jabber any more (I use Miranda www.miranda-im.org) - Mainly because I had to take my jabber server offline for a while. When I put it back up, I am still going for Psi as a client!

    The server runs on any port you wish! I ran mine on port 23 for a while (as a consultant in a firm where they had closed a lot of ports)...

  12. Source of 42 FYI on SAPAC Unveils New Australian Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Oh and for the "uneducated" the obligatory reading is Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" :)

  13. Re:How long... on SAPAC Unveils New Australian Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    That happened long ago, actually, you're currently living on the supercomputer (earth) that is computing the actual question ;)

  14. Doesn't work too well on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    I live in Denmark, my list was filled with people from Barcelona, Texas, London, Israel and one from Sweden (not that far away though ;).

    Who's up for writing an improved version for my favorite IM - Miranda IM? Use MaxMind's GeoIP database, or DirectI's IP-to-country database! Couple that with what users put in as location, then associate some words and then mix with water ;)

  15. Code on Application Layer Packet Shaping on Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    It doesn't even see the code anymore, just - redhead - blonde...

  16. Re:Apropos! Searching for a jukebox program! on Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes · · Score: 1

    Great stuff! I will! Thanks!

  17. Field of perception on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 1

    This seems logical to me! A lot of speed reading techniques helps you train your field of perception. I.e. normally you only "see" a word or two at a time... With the right techniques you can gradually increase the number of words you read at a time.
    Trained speed readers percieve whole lines at a time! I remember my former English teacher in high school read a third of a page in a glance - He read REALLY fast! :)

    Check out this google search! Now go learn it!!

  18. Apropos! Searching for a jukebox program! on Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes · · Score: 1

    I'm searching for a webenabled jukebox (not streaming - real jukebox) - to play music on the server.
    I used something old with a perlscript, mysql and mpeg123/rxaudio with a php GUI - but that hasn't been touched by anyone in years... Does someone have an alternative?
    Much appreciated!

  19. It might have been a hoax, but this isn't! on Microsoft's iLoo Project A Hoax · · Score: 1

    Ish*t, is not active atm, but you can check out his setup, to let people flush his toilet from a browser ;)
    Here you can read a comparison of the internet and a toilet...
    Always amusing Onion, has an article on online sh*tting ;)

    Man, I gotta pull myself together and get some work done :P

  20. You live in the country? This is the thing! on Last-Mile Solution For A Rural Land Co-op? · · Score: 2, Funny

    IPAC with QoS!! RFC2549!
    Cheap, but maybe not that fast...
    There also seems to be a reference on slashdot!

  21. Generation? on Live Worms Found in Columbia Wreckage · · Score: 2, Insightful
    About C. Elegans, quoting this site:
    The lifecycle takes about 3 days at 20 deg.C.
    It was only 4th or 5th generation (times 3 days) - hmmm did they find it 15 days after?
  22. Good idea on Distributed Computing Attacking SARS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder when my United Devices client (ud.com) is gonna add that project... It's currently working on smallpox and cancer...

    Should I change projects? Switch UD in favor of D2OL or what? And why? ;)

  23. Re:Good but... on Mini-Box M-100 · · Score: 1

    "Would the savings in my electric bill cause this to pay for itself over time?"

    Not unless it'll give you electricity instead of using it ;)

  24. Hydrogen source? on Hydrogen Fuel Station in Iceland · · Score: 1

    I've got a great idea! Couldn't we use fossils to create hydrogen?

    Oh... Wait...
