ATI has the worst support i have ever seen. I was going to buy their new cards until they totally dropped support for the card i had. When I got the all-in-wonder v1. they decided they weren't going to make new drivers for it when windows 98 came out, so i had to screw around with it forever. And guess what, with their drivers it was slower. Now the same card is only supported to work as a video card in win2k. I have other cards for my linux box, but they just don't care.
I always play this game called laugh at the nerd. In this game a bunch of people sit around and laugh at the nerdy looking guy. One day, i'll be laughing, but so far that game has sucked.
I'll probably spent my whole life behind a computer destroying my body. But i get to write the program that will keep my pacemaker going later. That would suck if my heart Segfaulted.
from the article: "David Lowery, leader of Cracker, voiced the strongest criticism of the file sharing service: "It's just bulls---t hippie capitalism," he said. "It's just not right."
"
Just because he said that, i'm never buying anymore cracker cds. Oh wait, i never did buy any of their cds. Oh wait, i don't like cracker. Silly me, I forgot.
"An open operating system sometimes just mutates. Instead Windows 2000 offers all services from a single source. This saves time and consequently really money. More info under www.microsoft.com/germany/windows2000"
I think the proper word is evolve. If an animal doesn't evolve to accept its surroundings it will die. Germans must be stupid or something.
I'm doing a similar experiment in my fridge. I'm trying to find out which will evolve the fastest, the meatloaf, or the milk. See, i think the milk has the advantage because it has a pre-set date on its side. But the meatloaf could catch up i think. The meatloaf is bigger, therefore more dominant.
OH god, i've been programming all night long. I can't think strait. All I can think while typing this is how to getc and ungetc all these characters and how to write them to a file.
Wireless Electricity Has Been Done. And A long time ago by Tesla in 1899. Here's The Link
"Tesla spent his remaining funds on his other inventions and culminated his efforts in a major breakthrough in 1899 at Colorado Springs by transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles "
You keep hearing about a mp3 box/console system that will be used in a different room than your computer. This is such a stupid idea. Where are you getting the mp3s from? THE COMPUTER.
Building a mp3 box is like building home stereo for a different room that requires you to hook up a cord to your computer in a another room. That's stupid.
The TV is for Television. I don't want the slow internet blocking my tv anyway. I'd rather have a laptop in my lap, watching my tv, and listening to the mp3s on that laptop.
I recently went to a DELL meeting that said that everyone at UT will eventually have to buy 1 particular model of their DELL laptop or 1 model of their desktop. It's part of their tuition according to DELL. The reasoning is that the tech guys will know exactly what is wrong with them and they could fix them when there is a complaint. This is the best part, they all link up to DELL's portal to buy College Supplies. I believe this is in plans for next year.
Ok, This Is gonna get a lot of people pissed off. In My opinion Red Hat Is doing the right thing by taking charge. They might end up looking like the new microsoft of the linux world, but someone needs to. The standards that the dominant linux distro makes should be followed. I've made comments before about netscape giving in to IE's standards. Why Not? This would make everything a lot easier for the rest of the world. But Oh Well, Just My opinion.
Btw, Make A Reply to this, i really want to know other people's opinions.
This Article from Carnegie Mellon Talks about how lead based battery cars would be bad for the enviroment. They also talk about how there needs to be a better technology. Well, of all people NEC did it. I'm really excited about this. Imagine this battery and a transmeta chip also. This Is Great
I like how North America Got A Cryptic Chart
chart
while everyone else got gimpy ones.
I feel sorry for the Popov guy, sorry he didn't get that many votes cause i sure love his cheap vodka.
When Will The People Making The Glasses/Monitors Figure Out That People DO NOT want to look like cyborgs. I just want a monitor that i can wear on glasses that doesn't look like the terminator. How about a normal set of glasses?!

the gigadeathcrimes? Hmmm, gigadeath. Sounds like a bad band name. Like megadeth. Gigadeth...
oh well, i'm bored...
How is it that i spend all day on the net, but don't have time to "read"
"lower end systems like an Intel Celeron 700 and a AMD Duron 700"
Geez, I really need to upgrade. I really havn't had that much trouble getting by with a 300 pII, w/80 mb ram. Anyone else agree?

I want one of these just so i can wrap up its legs in dental floss and laugh when it falls over.
I'm no super programmer or anything, but you would think the programmer of the walkers in the movie would add something like:
"IF legs == blocked, THEN stop walking"
That's of course if they were real.
"I used to take AM/FM radios apart and figure out how to tune the coils to pick up aircraft bands. That was hacking. " - Mitnick
get this! i used to take 2 lego sets and combine them to make my own lego sets. Sometimes i ventured into 3. I must be a haxor. A l33t haxor at that.
I bet i could make a better "Air-Wolf" out of legos than Mitnick.
Is the plural of lego legos? legi?
The funny part is that a guy had to do the html page for Dr. Norman Matloff.
That had to have been funny. ex:
"hey timmy (html grunt worker), yea you in the cubicle, convert this page to html and index it" - Dr. Norman Matloff
"What's it on?" -Timmy (html grunt worker)
"How you're going to be out of a job in 2 years" -Dr. Norman Matloff
I look forward to going to my cube. I think it's the fact that after lunch everyday there seems to be some sort of cube war.
Cube War:
Throwing an object into the other person's cube in order to hit them or keyboard.
Rules of Cube War:
1. Object thrown must be of the stuffed or "stress ball" variety. Computer expos commonly give away free balls and cup koozies.
2. Object must be lobbed from a sitting position into the other person's Cube.
3. hitting a person in the head is perfect. Hitting a person's keyboard in order to make a mistake is bonus.
