  1. Windows? on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can you load Windows onto it? :-)

  2. Re:How to Compute Key Cracking? on Xbox Private Key Distributed Computing Project · · Score: 1

    oh well then, by all means get to work. I will expect you linux developers to make short work of the encryption and have it done in a matter of months if its that simple.

  3. Re:How to Compute Key Cracking? on Xbox Private Key Distributed Computing Project · · Score: 1

    You're so dense. Ever hear of Public/Private keys? Im not goint to teach you cryptography so i'll just let you go look it up.

  4. Re:How to Compute Key Cracking? on Xbox Private Key Distributed Computing Project · · Score: 1

    a better question would be, Whos chip are they trying to crack? Like the RC5 Challenges, if they were to try to crack another one it would take just as long to do. whats the point of cracking it if you're going to have to do it for everyones machines? Its a painfully pointless exercise which should only be getting recognition for stupidity and nothing more.

  5. Re:A thousand household uses on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 1

    The iTanium can flash-fry a herd of buffalo in twenty seconds.

  6. Re:Yeah, yeah, yeah on P4 2.80GHz Overclocked to 3.917GHz · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Go with the feeling, you're not the first post.

  7. GPL Bleh on MusicCity's Morpheus violating GPL · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Ok, i really have nothing against opensource but the GPL is horrible. The way i see it is if i were to do something opensource it would be a variation on the BSD license. Take what i got and use it to make whatever you're working on better. None of this "IF YOU USE MY SHIT YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT OPENSOURCE TOO" thats just rude. IMO thats MORE wrong then most of the crap Microsoft does like what they did with the Windows XP registration. IE "Buy Our Operating System and you can only use it on one machine because we'll make it so you cant put it on more@#$%@"

  8. Wow! on Running Linux On Your Swimming Pool · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is there anything linux doesnt do!?

    I should make up a linux box that uses an Athlon to power my lavalamp!

  9. Re:Easier vs. cheaper... on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 1

    From what I'v seen of cpu instensive tasks the Dual 1ghz G4 can mop the floor with a dual athlon.
    I dont know in comparison to the 2000+ but its a good deal faster then the 1800, as in twice as fast.

  10. Benchmarks? on Sony Announces Version 1.0 Of Linux for Playstation 2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone ran linux on a PS2 run any Benchmarks yet? I'd like to know just how fast the CPU really is.

  11. Weee on 3.5 Ton Satellite to Crash Back to Earth · · Score: 1

    I hope it lands on my house. I could sell the movie rights for it. Then we can have a whole series of movies about huge satellites returning threatening all life as we know it.
    Wait, wasnt that what one of the blob movies was about?

  12. This isnt new on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    We had one like that at fanshawe college as well. It could detect more then just exact duplicates, like duplicate functions as well. It would then be up to the professor to decide if it is an attempt at cheating.

    this is nothing new, fanshawe college isnt the first to do this.

  13. Re:iPod Crusher maybe? on Rio Riot and Lyra Personal Jukebox · · Score: 1

    I didnt say it did, i said these other ones do.

    Quote (of me!): The iPod it self could fit inside these mp3 players that use laptop drives.

  14. iPod Crusher maybe? on Rio Riot and Lyra Personal Jukebox · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The iPod is so popular because of the size. This thing uses a laptop harddrive like all the others. The iPod it self could fit inside these mp3 players that use laptop drives. It also uses USB. Please, do the math on how long it would take to transfer 20 gigs on USB.

  15. Good on The Tick to be Cancelled · · Score: 0

    About damn time. the cartoon is the one true tick.
    the characters in the real version were too.. um.. Too much. The tick was too obnoxious and imature. The animated version rocked your socks. Bring that one back.

  16. Re:Uh, Why are you paying for an AP anyway? on Supercharging Your Linksys Wireless Access Point · · Score: 1

    An AP is 1/10th the size of a Linuxbox and 1/100th the hassle.

  17. Sensitivity on Rearranging Pixels For Performance · · Score: 1

    Actualy the Human eye is 30% more sensitive to Green then Blue and Red. We can see more shades of green then any other colour. This is why Night Vision and HUD's on jets are Green.

  18. Game Consoles And HDTV on To HDTV or Not to HDTV? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Game consoles will enjoy HDTV, that will be another positive reason to get one. XBox games support it and i think so do some PS2 titles via the composit connection.
    Mini Dish receivers now have HDTV support as well. Most new stations and some old ones have HDTV support as well.

  19. Money in Linux? on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 1

    Im still unsure how people make money in linux. Its free and stuff. Only money lately i'v seen has been in venture capital and stock which really is nothing because that has to be paid back (or at least in stock just being a loan for how long the investor wants to keep it there.)
    Use banner ads on your website?
    I use MacOS X now and man thats good stuff(tm), Now i can see useing that as a platform to use your linux skills on and potentialy make money.
    All honesty im not a beliver in opensource because i belive time *IS* money which means my time should be worth a return in cold hard cash. Yes i do understand most linux developers are doing it on their own free will and all that. But what do they do to feed them selvs? I know several people who develop linux applications (little things nothing ground breaking) but then work in factories. Seems like a waste of valuble skills.
    When people graduate from an IT program they are expecting to make money because they have student loans and have spent so much money for their education. All i want to know is where this money comes from and if its stable enough to devote much time to. All i'v seen lately are startup linux companies hanging around for acouple months and then file Chapter 11.

  20. Next? MICROSOFT LINUX! on States Filing Alternate Remedy Proposal for MS Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Damn straight, they'll distribute their own version of linux to work with Linux MS Office.
    $700 for the package!
