  1. They're not reefering to the president on SSID As the New Community Bulletin Board and Yard Sign · · Score: 0

    If you catch my drift

  2. AMERICAAAAAAAA on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    F*** yeah.

  3. Re:That's a weird definition of node... on AMD Fusion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    What's halfway between a Tick and a Tock?

  4. R.I.P. NINA on Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body · · Score: 4, Insightful

    FINALLY

  5. Re:patents will end up being ignored on Alcatel Awarded $367 Million in MS Patent Case · · Score: 1

    Lets just patent the patent system and sue the world

  6. weak on Identifying Manipulated Images · · Score: 4, Interesting
  7. ELGG-0.8 on It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up · · Score: 1

    I didn't see this mentioned yet so thought I drop a link to ELGG, a very nice GPL PHP social network platform. Its mature, featured, and has a good support community. Check it out: ELGG.ORG

  8. energy $$$ savings yea right on AMD Beats Intel in Power-Efficiency Study · · Score: 2, Insightful

    AMD 8222 cpu = $2149
    Intel 5160 cpu = $851

    The AMD system will be obsolete before you realize any "cost savings".

    Also you don't buy these top dog chips if you're going to let them sit idle all day.

  9. craigslist is NOT ugly on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 1

    It is elegantly simple, unobtrusive, and everything works as you would expect it to. Which in my eye = BEAUTY.

  10. quality on Build Your Own Arcade Kit · · Score: 1

    I actually bought the $20 sticks-n-switches bundle a while ago, and while it's not the REAL real thing, they are decent reproductions, with decent microswitches. The springs in the sticks are a little tight in my opinion, and they have very narrow "diagonal" ranges, but they still play like champs and feel very solid.

    I just finished coding my own xmame front-end, check it out here: http://woz.gs/gorf/ There are pics of the $20 bundle in there :)

  11. external on No Hard Drive Bay On PStwo · · Score: 1

    If the PStwo comes with ilink(firewire) and/or usb ports, then there is still hope. Sony may enable use of external drives. Then again maybe not, for fear of piracy, arrrrrrrrrrr. (Sorry, I missed talk like a pirate day, arr)

    Also I think ps2 mod chips already let you "make use" of external usb storage.

  12. promise on Why is Java Considered Un-Cool? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Java broke a promise a long time ago.

    That promise was "write once run anywhere". How is that possible when sun breaks java into several "editions"? When vendors take those and "extend and enhance"?

    Java, javascript, jscript, ecmascript, jboss... The list goes on and on.

    Straight C with makefiles is more portable now than java. We can program hp calcs with c right? Where's java?

    Also their marketing department is high on crack. Java 1.2 = java2? Next up, Java5 ?! WTF!!!

  13. Ricardo Montalban as the devious and cunning on Best Sci-Fi Space Battles? · · Score: 3, Funny

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!

  14. Re:eh on Unofficial AIM Bot Gives Infocom Classics IM Twist · · Score: 1

    And as we all know, open source moduals always glue together nicely without any fiddling around. What a bunch of slackers, huh?

  15. Re:So much for security through obscurity on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    Let me offer up a simple analogy. Today's OS market is like a parking lot with 99 Toyotas parked with engines running and doors wide open (WINDOWS), and 1 Porsche locked up with Viper (MAC OS). What does the car thief take? A vulnerable Toyota obviously.

    Ok, lets switch it up. What if 99 cars were Porsches with Viper, and 1 car was a Toyota with the doors open and engine running. What does the car thief take? There are more Porsches, why doesn't he take the Porsche??

  16. Re:Durability of the Mac on Macintosh's 1984 Debut · · Score: 1

    Our barely 5 year old BOA branch is using ancient IBM terminals that look like frickin TRS-80's.

  17. that tells me on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 5, Funny

    that tells me that the men are finding the better deals.

  18. MAME on Who Still Uses Old Monitors? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I use throw-away VGA monitors in MAME hardware projects.

  19. this is just a little on Players Dress As Their Sims For Convention · · Score: 0

    too surrealistic.

  20. CONNECT 1200 on Best BBS Memories? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Creating and sharing ANSI graphics made with TheDraw. Also that "Mad Max" feeling you get from playing Operation Overkill...

  21. Re:Since when is Strained Silicon Secret? on Strained Silicon Chips From Intel · · Score: 1

    The secret is that Intel figured out how to do it... CHEAP.

  22. Better 4 player solution on Cheap, Rugged, Multiplayer Gamepads for Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Like cowbutt said, you can get cheap USB pads like Logitech in the $5 price range. Also, beware the cheaper PS2-USB converters, I bought a pair and they have a very noticeable delay between button-press and game response. Try before you buy...

  23. Re:Open Source Model on Future of 2.4 and 2.6 Kernels · · Score: 1

    In other news, Progeny Systems have announced they will offer rpm updates to the EOL'd 2.4 kernel.

    (j/k)

  24. Re:Standard meta-distributions on Yet Another Debian-based Distro: Mepis · · Score: 1
