    I'm wasted after being up all night and having to be somewhat coherant at work, but I can still tell mindless dribble when I see it.

    I don't know if the 04/01 joke is that Katz can't write well normally, or if he thinks this blather is somehow more amusing on this particular morning.

  13. PC1600=PC100+DDR, not PC133+DDR on Is DDR Worth It? · · Score: 1

    PC1600 is the DDR version of pPC100 ram. It still runs at 100 Mhz, but with DDR signaling.
    IOW, you are comparing apples and oranges.

    According to this search on Pricewatch, you can get Micron (Crucial) 256MB PC2100 DIMMs for ~220 + shipping.

  14. Re:Best informed, "new" machine and .NET on Security Of Windows/Office XP Activation Code? · · Score: 1

    BTW I hope you know that M$ can already "read" your W2K reg number when you visit their site, without actually submitting anything. Try getting windows updates from the MS site directly for with a machine using a special/cooperate license.

    Actually, I do this on a very regular basis. I work at a mid-sized business that has a Select subscription. All of our install images are built off these CDs, and all of our images can talk to Windows Update without a peep of trouble.

  15. Re:But it will just promote blocking! on Banner Ads Could Soon Be Bigger · · Score: 1

    I used to hate popups. Then I got Junkbuster

    (Does this sound like a 50's TV ad yet?)

    I put : slashdot.org/banner/ in my sblock.ini file, and POOF, no more slashdot ads.

    As for doubleclick, I have a line in my sblock.ini that reads "doubleclick.net" (minus the "'s of course). Any ads/popups/cookies/riffraff from doubleclick simply doesn't get thru. Everything else loads without a hitch.

    Life is better now :)

  16. Override.. in the first version only. on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 1

    Sure, the first version will allow you to temporarily or permanently disable the governor.

    The second will ask you to specify your emergency first. (for statistical purposes only, of course, right?)

    The third generation will be linked to a satellite network to alert the authorities when your wife is going into labor to allow the hospital to prepare for her arrival.

    The forth generation will be linked to a judicial network to check the fingerprints of the driver for those of known felons.

    The fifth generation will require a permanent wireless or satellite link to the Ministry of Safety to catch cases of "Road Rage" and DUIs.

    The sixth generation will have a newer version of GPS and a remotely updateable "Personal Safety Protector", so that when the law that bans all men from driving gets passed (women are much safer drivers, right, characterZer0?), your mother/gf/wife drives you everywhere.


    How safe and secure and miserable we would be then .

  17. Re:Bullshit alert on Global Warming Worse Than Thought · · Score: 1

    Burning natural gas over coal produces significantly less SOx and NOx emissions, as the Sulfur and Nitrogen contents of natural gas (mostly methane, IIRC) are much lower.

    This, of course, does nothing for CO and CO2 emissions, but that's what catalytic converters and trees are for, right?

    I agree with you on the China-US thing tho... it's like saying "This shit has been vastly improved! It now has a nutty texture to it!" :)

  19. Bad Math? on Serial ATA 1.0 Draft Released · · Score: 1

    From Cnet's article:

    The Serial ATA Working Group published the 1.0 draft of its specification, which will effectively double the bandwidth, or capacity for data, between disk drives

    ...and lower down in the same article...

    "That basically equates to about 150MB of data per second," Ravencraft said. In comparison, Parallel ATA's ATA 100 offers a peak transfer rate of 100MB per second.

    When did 150 become (2*100) ?
