  1. Re:Power usage? on AMD's Athlon XP 2700+ · · Score: 1

    This isn't really an unforeseen problem....generally the higher you push the Mhz the more power you need. AMD faced this problem before, when they redesigned the Athlon they were able to make their XP line of processors run a good deal cooler than their Thunderbird predecessors, at comparable clock rates.

  2. Re:Yeah, this is SO worthwhile on Forty-Speed CD-RW Shootout · · Score: 1
    But is this really a "slashdot" article. I mean is it really big news to the general public that you can shave 28 seconds off a burn? Anyone that has a true need (like the garage bands or businesses) or desire for these drives would search for the review and this server wouldn't be suffering.

    Obviously a fair number of people that read Slashdot must care otherwise the "server wouldn't be suffering" would it?
    Seeing as I recently upgraded from my 2x burner.....I figure I should get all the x's I can.

  3. Re:OSS killed warez on NYTimes Looks at Warez · · Score: 1
    I would disagree with your last statement. What if you were doing professional sound editing/production? Most of the programs cost much more that the operating system does....would you use the OS's built in sound editor?

    I would vote that in this case the software would be worth buying....considering that your productivity would increase by a factor of "almost infinity".

  4. Re:"Pirates" on NYTimes Looks at Warez · · Score: 1
    Some companies have benefitted from piracy in some ways.

    Don't forget the companies that produce all of the high speed network hard/software and ISPs that supply the connections to and from all of these warez folk. I bet they have benefitted from the piracy.

  5. Re:Warez on NYTimes Looks at Warez · · Score: 1
    I think your time estimate is a little low.

    I would think that it would take some time to download the gimp, or if it is already downloaded to install it, or if it is already installed to learn to use it.

  6. Re:In past ages the philosphers... on Homogenized Music · · Score: 1
    "In capitalism man opresses man, but in communism it's just the opposite."

    So that means in communism man opresses man?

  7. Re:The same music over and over again on Homogenized Music · · Score: 1

    Even the names of the stations have gone downhill. I think that each city in America has a station called KISS FM or The Edge.

  8. Re:raido sucks and advertisers are stoooopid on Homogenized Music · · Score: 1
    "Advertisers run like hell from the 54+ crowd....They're the ones with the...best tastes"

    How do you know they have the "best tastes"?

    I think I might have the best taste.

  9. Re:None of this matters on Console Pricing Economics · · Score: 1
    I think it would be easy to sell.....Microsoft would just have to stop selling Windows.

    All of the sudden the only other option is a computer that Microsoft manufactured, and burned a very windows-like OS onto.

  10. Re:Web of Wars on Statistics of Deadly Quarrels · · Score: 1
    "I wish I had this when I needed it.

    When would you need this information? And what useful information could you get from this diagram? You didn't know there had been a lot of wars?

  11. Re:Greatest ? on Nethack 3.4.0 · · Score: 1

    I used to play Hunt the Wompus on some computer....I can't remember if it was a TI-99/4A or an Apple now. Excellent game.

  12. Re:EULAs unenforceable on Fair Software Installation · · Score: 1

    Personally, I prefer the cheap Oscar Meyer hotdogs to the 100% beef hotdogs. Would you consider that to be negligence or gross negligence?

  13. Re:he has some valid points...but.... on Fair Software Installation · · Score: 1
    "just because it's free doesn't mean that the creators can't be held liable. "

    It would be hard to prove that their software caused the problem...Unless you duplicated the problem by removing their software again...

    But, then you would have to spend a half-day fixing the machine again....I would rather have the half-day of time than the $250 court settlement.

  14. Re:Direct TV on Hardware Horrors that Firmware Upgrades Would've Fixed? · · Score: 1
    This has everything to do with firmware updates.

    The firmware on the smartcard was hacked and was no longer keeping people from getting satellite service for free. DirecTV was forced into recalling the old cards and replacing them with new cards.

  15. Re:Overly simple solution... VNC on Two Headed Penguins? · · Score: 1
    You are incorrect. The original poster asked "Now take this a step further: could this be done with the secondary machine a network connection away?"

    VNC would work perfectly (may be a little slow, however) for having two diffent monitors, keyboards, and mice use the resoures of a single computer over a network connection.

  16. Direct TV on Hardware Horrors that Firmware Upgrades Would've Fixed? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Direct TV had this type of problem when their DSS "F" and "H" cards were hacked. They are now on their 3rd generation of smartcards.

  17. Slashdot Readers Retarded? on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 1
    Are most of the people that read slashdot retarded??? Do you folks really think that the kids leaving college today are less smart than kids leaving school 20 or 10 years before?

    I bet none of you were born Linux gurus, were you?

    I, for one, learned the skills in school that have given me the ability to solve problems in the real world...without having to be specifically trained for each and every situation.

    I wasn't born knowing how to install and run software....but when the time came to know how how to do it I learned.

  18. Re:read the article on Wired on Autism in the Valley · · Score: 1

    I know a lot of non-bright people that have survived.

  19. Plot? on Good Games For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    You actually care about the plot in a game like this (action/shoot 'em up)? Are you a game reviewer???

  20. Re:1984 Anyone? on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 1
    yeah...I tried to use the word "gayrod" in one of my MS Word documents a couple days ago and Word didn't have an entry for it.

    I think they're cutting back on their hate words.

  21. Re:Question... on Anti-Terrorism Law Passed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dude!....the thing just passed today....I don't think there are endless examples of "real" abuses yet.

  22. Re:40 bits a second! on NASA's Mars Odyssey Enters Orbit · · Score: 1, Funny

    Mars probably isn't that close to a central office.

  23. Re:open source on Linux Kernel Bugs · · Score: 1

    If you're having problems sleeping because of the Operating System you run.....you're missing out on what life has to offer.

    Look outside man, it's beautiful out there.

  24. Re:Nice music library on Review of the Audiotron Stereo MP3 Component · · Score: 1
    I would only bother ripping one or two songs, and more than a few where I wouldn't bother ripping any.

    You may be listening to the wrong type of music. I like almost every song on each of my 100+ CDs. I normally don't waste my money on a CD unless I actually like the music on it.

  25. Re:I hope I did my part on Senate Trashes Civil Liberties; House to Vote Today · · Score: 1
    You can only give one point at a time.

    I think someone should give you and I a -1 offtopic.
