  1. Re:Transistor history on The Bulova Accutron · · Score: 1

    Possibly the first commercial transistorized watch. Also I doubt the transistors around the time of Henry Ford were small enough to fit in a wrist watch.

  2. Re:Interesting, but Bluetooth beat it. on Super-small Voice-controlled Wireless Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What would be even better is a cellular phone that would double as a regular cordless when in range of its base station. This way when you are in the confines of your own home the phone could be used on your regular line saving you cell phone fees. Maybe they could get really slick and make the cell and the home numbers the same so you could cary it with you at all times and never need to deal with multiple numbers.

    The advantage to the clapper over this device is that you would most likely not want to wear this to bed and then have to take it off and put it down safely in the dark, the clapper requires no additional hardware, although I think it's corny and useless.

  4. Re:"Flash" is a good name for the product on Macromedia Pushes Flash For All Things Web · · Score: 1

    This is not something Macromedia must deal with, but the designers of the webpages. I understand you completely, and I agree, but I have had that same problem with HTML when people make the whole page one giant mapped image.

    You are right about integrating the forward and back buttons into the movie though, otherwise it might be a real bitch to navigate.

  5. Re:Cost? on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Cant you cut the $4792 for LCD's down to $599? Why do you need 8? Can't you use one and just unplug it from the head when you to diagnose the other machines? Also why LCD's? Can't CRT's be found for under a $100 now? I'm not a Mac fan, I prefer LinTel, but this solution seems to make tons of sense...

    What about this, you use /. like I do, I leave everything on in the main section, I read the headline, and if it interests me I'll read the article, if not, I can do this amazing thing, SCROLL DOWN!!!

  9. Re:godammit. on Undernet In Serious Trouble: Any Suggestions? (Updated) · · Score: 1

    Thats fucking rediculous. How could he just get root acess. I am no great sys admin but I like to believe my server is rather secure. The ISP's should fire those sys admins. This is truly sad.

  10. Re:Do we resort to revenge? on Undernet In Serious Trouble: Any Suggestions? (Updated) · · Score: 1

    We could collect between the hold /. community, more bandiwth than probably any place in the world. Now I'm not particularly big Underworld fan, I stay ith EFnet but I never like to see shit like this. I say since there is not real agency with power doing anything about this we "take it to the streets" and fight back by all means we can. Knowing my own capabilities and those of other /.'ers plus the level of intelect of many others we would shurely come out on top. And think about it, there are so many of us that them retaliating would be impossible we must outnumber them by tremendous odds!!

  11. Re:Why not read... on Gore Puts Internet For Auction On eBay (Updated) · · Score: 1

    I am not sure, but I believe the Onion is only ditributed in print form in Chicago. I am not positive on this but seeing as I am a Chicagoin and am able to get my weekly fix of The Onion while I am at work I don't need their website. On the other hand I suggest all people not capable of getting the magazine in print read their website. It is very vcery funny.
