  1. just use solar collectors. on New Solar Panel Design Traps More Light · · Score: 1

    Even a home built solar collector with something like 2x2 meters will provide enough hot water for a whole family.

  2. Re:Hahaha... on Breaking Gender Cliques at Work? · · Score: 1

    Get a mailing group/ list for your development department (if you don't have one yet). Probably you already have one, just for the organisation of whatever tasks you have to do.
    Easy thing to write a mail to *all* the colleagues in your group and ask if next friday would be fine for all to meet in a pub, bbq or whatever. Bringing some friends is allowed, of course.

  3. WoW allows Parental Control on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 5, Informative

    In WoW it's possible to set a schedule for the playtime.
    So it's easy to prevent the kids from playing at schooltime or during the night.
    Check the FAQ at their site for more information.

  4. DRM my ass on Google Accused of Bio-piracy · · Score: 2, Funny

    One day, I won't be allowed to take a dump 'cause I forgot to renew the license to use my biological disposal unit.

  5. too many attachments on Archiving Digital History at the NARA · · Score: 1

    I guess they sent lots of attachments, too. And compression of those binary files isn't as effective as the compression of text.

  6. I guess the reason is on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    I guess the reason for linux is not that they "don't want to ship windows", the reason is that they want to annoy microsoft: most people will buy sony's hardware for linux, not the xbox.

    But let's wait and see what "linux" on "playstation" will look like when it's shipped.

  7. Re:GunBound - Owns your PC on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 1

    You may want to read this (search for gunbound) and ask your kids what else they installed.

  8. the competitors will on Meta-tag Spam Declared Illegal in Germany · · Score: 1

    The court won't enforce it.

    But the competitors will, just like they sue their competitors for missing information in the imprint, use of trademarks, links to "wrong" sites or any other information on a site that isn't acceptable to german courts.

  9. Stop your bashing. on Professor Creates His Own Cisco Manual · · Score: 1

    Offer him your help and write it in LaTex.

  10. Spend it here. on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Warp Records Reject DRM, Go Bleep
    Good MP3 quality, no DRM.

  11. How about using plants? on Is Your Computer Leaking Toxic Dust? · · Score: 1

    It's not a secret that Spider Plant removes formaldehyde from the air, so you should have one around.
    There are also plenty of other plants that remove pollutants.

  12. Maybe. on RC5-72 Clients Available on distributed.net · · Score: 1

    RC5-56 took about 1 year iirc, and RC5-64 didn't take 256 years, not even 64 years if you divide by 4.

    But I still can't tell you if it's worth it. :)

  13. Easy rule.. on MySQL 4 - Is it Stable? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    .. if you need features that your software doesn't have, get some other software.

  14. Re:They changed their name long time ago on IBM Getting PwC Consulting for $3.5 Billion · · Score: 1

    They changed it to Accenture in January 2001.

  15. Stay on Topic =) on Web Designers Ignoring Standards and Support IE Only · · Score: 1

    "My pet peeve is when sites hype and announce new-and-improved sites, and then they come out and they are simply a gigantic flash application."

    If you comment on the news, then stay on topic and don't destroy the discussion with a holy war even before it started.

  16. Re:Just for your archives.. on Animated Encryption · · Score: 1

    .. once http://lavarand.sgi.com/, now: http://www.lavarnd.org/

  17. I name one. on Atari Announces an Official Portable 2600 System · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Moon Patrol.

  18. Re:Hmm.. on Hack Your Ignition (Before Someone Else Does) · · Score: 1

    They will realize as soon as they have to pay for the trouble they cause.

  19. Design & Usability. on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1

    Very simple.

    Some sites only have functionality, and some only design.

    But a good webdesign unites both.

  20. Re:Can't disallow installing software on Peek-a-Boo(ty) · · Score: 1

    You still can disallow the execution of untrusted applications.
    That also works for Windows.

  21. Re: simple solution.. on Peek-a-Boo(ty) · · Score: 1

    If the user can't install it, they can't use it.
    In a bank, a user shouldn't be able to install anything at all.

  22. There is only one heart. on Heart of the Net · · Score: 1


    For me, the heart of the net are the people using it.

    And yes, there are many many epicentres. And many epicentres that didn't even hear of each other. So don't be so uppish and think the one big thing you participated in is the heart of the net.

  23. Very simple. on The Amazing $5k Terabyte Array · · Score: 1

    Store more sequences.

    60 million sequences for a nice datamining job, and you need a really BIG raid.

  24. I wonder .. on Dual 1Ghz G4 PowerMac With Extra Yummy · · Score: 1

    I wonder if I can take out the card and put it in my PC?

  25. This is no 3D-shooter! on Civilization III Is Out, And It Rocks · · Score: 1
