    (Yes.)

  2. RT == Read The on HTPC 4-Way Enclosure Roundup · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's unfortunate that one hast to actually BAFN to figure that out.

  3. Re:Only supports interlaced HDTV formats? on Second Generation Homebrew PVR Devices · · Score: 1

    525i is standard NTSC video. Not HDTV, so you've probably seen it once or twice that you can remember. Like the last time you plugged in an S-Video cable.

  4. Re:foobar? on Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players? · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. However, you don't have to be without bindable hotkeys with winamp. Using The Wonderful Icon to provide the hotkeys, and a simple program to control winamp by passing command line parameters, I can hit Ctrl+Alt+(Up|Down|Left|Right) to control winamp no matter what I'm doing on my machine.

  5. Re:I want an ear-sized two-way radio on Ready-To-Wear PCs · · Score: 1
    I think what you're looking for is already made by Jabra. They make a 2.5mm plug version of their EarSet for cellular phones. I have one for my Nokia 6161, and it works wonderfully. I didn't think having the microphone in the earpiece would work too well, but I haven't had any complaints from people on the other end of my calls yet.

  6. Re:Pseudo-science != pure science on NASA Proposes Launch Of Solar Sail Vehicle For 2010 · · Score: 1
    Now, while I do give credit to NASA for coming up with a lot of cool things that we use everyday, the microwave was actually a byproduct of radar-related research in the 40's. I love Tang as much as the next guy, but let's make sure we only give credit where it's due.

    Oh, yeah... Interested in the Microwave? Go to this page to learn about it.

  7. Re:Not a legacy driver problem, per se.. on Super LCD Screens: 200 PPI · · Score: 1
    Actually, in Windows, you can get the size of your screen in real-world measurements. I believe it's the driver that gives you this information. (Those things apparently give you more than just "I support APM!")

  8. Stale links on New Cyberlaws · · Score: 1
    So, what happens when you link to a site on Geocities, and it gets replaced with a new site that has information on selling drugs? Also, what about search engines? They may go happily along linking to these sites. Will AltaVista suddenly be responsible for filtering these out of their database?
