  1. Re:Trinitron? on Shopping for a New Monitor? · · Score: 1

    By the fisher-price analogy, I think he meant non-trinitron (fisher-price) vs. trinitron.
    All the professional designers I know use trinitron screens, all mine are trinitron too, 19" Eizo and a 21" IBM - they rock.
    I have seen non-trinitron screens that I tought looked ok, but I am not a prof. designer ;)

  2. Why complain about GB? on 8.6 GB Internet? · · Score: 1

    Hell, I would download the Internet if it was only 8,6 GB - I wish it was! It takes so long right now ;)

  3. Re:What makes whitespace so special? on Slashback: Rocketry, Pythonation, Scoffing · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use the braces the same way you do ;)
    I also indent properly everywhere.
    In Python I just don't have to do the braces, and it's really really nice :)

  4. XVid has one MAJOR weakness on Tom's Hardware Reviews First Player for DivX Video · · Score: 1

    As it says on the lastest news on the front page:
    You may have noticed it, XVID has moved its downloads (which are source codes only, you won't find binaries on our pages, or DLLs, or installers, or ...) - That's right. It's only for really cool people who can compile stuff. And you know, that is actually very few people on Windows...

  5. Interesting on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 4, Funny

    The pen is mightier than the sword.
    The pen can now print a gatlin gun!

  6. Re:The coolest part of this story... on Light Emitting Silicon Steps It Up · · Score: 5, Funny

    LIght Emitting Silicon? - LIES
    ;)

  7. Aaah that would explain on Redheads Need More Anesthesia than Others · · Score: 2

    Why she's always screaming so much ;)

  8. Ok the questions we are all holding back! on Robotic Surgery · · Score: 2

    The questions we are all holding back:

    a) Does it run Linux?
    b) Can you get an aimbot or other cheat codes?
    c) How many stupid questions are there?
    d) Is it depressed?
    e) Is it's name Data?

    Man I am tired :/

  9. Awww man on Servers with a Smile · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I couldn't make sense of the damn article, until I re-read the headline - "Servers with a smile" - not Sewers with a smile - phew!

  10. Focus of linux on Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) Is Available [updated] · · Score: 2

    the focus should still be on the overall development of the. kernel

    The kernel development is important - but the important thing, no the mission, for distributions like mandrake is bringing linux to the desktop - this is very, very important!

    If we get a lot more people interested, the quality will become better, and hey, we might even attract gifted people that could end up giving a lot to the community.

    Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso is now 89% downloaded - Can't wait even though I'm happy with my SuSE 8 installation :)

  11. But the REAL question is: on How Would You Start a Radio Station? · · Score: 2

    Why Would You Start a Radio Station?

  12. Nokia is HIGHEST quality on Nokia 3650 Symbian Imaging-phone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nokia makes the best phones on the market. Period. I've owned Siemens, Motorola and four Nokias - I've tried the Sony Ericsson T68i, Ericsson (old ones) and a few others (like Bosch etc) - NONE of them are as good as the Nokia - they simply have the best user interface - menu system - of them all. On advanced phones the menu system is very important - And none beats the nokias.
    The only thing that I regret about the new phones, is that they no longer have the "IntelliKey" - that was a good!

  13. Oh and Psi can use SSL - I use it! on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 2

    Oh and Psi can use SSL - I use it! It's quite cool ;)

  14. Gaim is fine - Jabber is better on Gaim For Windows · · Score: 2

    I hear that Gaim speaks jabber - but jabber speaks AIM as well as a bunch of other protocols. I've got a jabber server running, I use ICQv7 protocol, MSN and Jabber - I had Yahoo and AIM installed too but none of my (few) users used it, so I disabled it - less to maintain ;)
    Anyway I haven't used anything else in more than a year!
    Oh yeah and a nice feature of Jabber/ICQv7 is that you can add any mobile phone to your buddy list - and send SMS messages from the IM :) (I know it's ICQ but this is simpler!)

    For the client side I use Psi - A VERY cool client - available for BOTH Linux and Windows! It's really nice IM client - granted it does miss a few Jabber features such as chatrooms etc... But I never use that - I only use normal IM chat messages...

  15. And the answer is on Quantum Computer Possible From Silicon Fab · · Score: 2

    Up for "1" and down for "0".

  16. Re:zerg on Crush/BRiX: An Experimental Language/OS Pair · · Score: 2

    How fast can you code? ;)

  17. Keystokecounter! on Slashback: Arch, Bubbles, Keystrokes · · Score: 4, Funny

    That is wierd and funny! Now I've typed 57... No 66... No 75... No 84... Eeeerh, 98... DAMN nevermind...

  18. Re:Sounds tasty! on MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool? · · Score: 2

    Yeah well, I mean that it wouldn't be such a great idea for small companies with 10 employees or so...
    And I don't think that it would be used on the internet, at least not for important stuff... Open source development might work... Maybe...

  19. Re:Sounds tasty! on MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool? · · Score: 2

    yeah it blows :(
    ISP screwed the disk or something, and he's taking a LOOOOONG time reloading it...
    In the meantime, get it here: http://game01.comhjem.dk - it's the second link... :)

  20. Sounds tasty! on MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think I'll install the client, and start looking for peoples bank records, insurance stuff, wills, payroll info etc :)
    But seriously, I can imagine that it will only be good on larger scale corporate networks with lots of "enterprise PCs", as they put it...

  21. Wow, the implications on 10-Gigabit Ethernet Standard Approved · · Score: 2

    Now it seems feasible to actually share RAM over the ethernet - That would be nice :D

  22. Wipe out the fuel reserves? on Bio-Weapons That Eat Ammunition and Fuel · · Score: 2

    I wonder how long it would take to come up with a viable alternate energy resource? Maybe it's a catastrophe like that that would force us to discover the ultimate energy source? :)
    Dare we try? I think not! ;)

  23. Uhm, not spaceflight! on Window or Aisle? · · Score: 4, Informative

    If I read this correctly this is _NOT_ a ticket to space - This is a ticket to the "International Space Station (ISS) Experience" - sort of like a disneyland ride... The ticket is for the, quote, "Orbital Pre-Qualification Program" - Read it. It looks fun though, if a bit expensive...

  24. Wow, great piece of work! on Command and Conquer Generals · · Score: 1

    Great article, if not a bit long. But great, I'm impressed with Skaggs and his team, with the awesome graphics of C&C:G - This might be the RTS game that brings me back to the genre that I left so long ago in favor of 3D FPS games!
    I can't wait to go buy it! I just hope that they won't mind emulation servers ;) Blizzard blowz!

  25. It's being done!! :) on SuSE Submits Enhancements for AMD Hammer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    FreeBSD is working on an x86-64 GCC! Actually AMD itself has sponsored this! Take a look at the link!
