  1. 2GB a month? on Cornell Implementing Bandwidth Charges · · Score: 1

    I agree that some sort of limiting plan needs to be in effect for a University's bandwidth, but this seems to be overly restricting. I run an FTP on my University's connection and routinely exceed 3GBs per month! I simply can't imagine being restricted to 2GB a month.

  2. Re:UT2k3 - linux impressions on UT2003 LiveCD · · Score: 1

    I'm running it on an ATI AIW Radeon 8500 and it also screams, as you say it, at 1024x768. I've also got a friend running it on a 32mb ATI AIW, and it also looks awesome with no choppiness whatsoever on his system.

    In conclusion, I don't think it's ATI that's causing the problems.

  3. Re:Even SMB filesharing? on USC To Students: No Sharing Files · · Score: 1

    I'm going to assume he's talking Iowa State University. If so then you don't even need tools. The campus here has several servers running StrangeSearch

    It indexes NetBios shares as well as FTP's. There's no need for P2P at all.

  4. Mr. Green is SoBe's energy drink? on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    You want the real stuff you should drink SoBe Adrenaline. It's a little 8 oz. can that can keep you wired for hours. And it comes with free Passionfruit taste.

  5. Different Walk styles.. on AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I noticed that in one of the videos is walks with three legs at a time, keeping a tripod, and in the other it moves one leg at a time. Is there a specific reason for this? Perhaps something to do with the terrain?

  6. Re:Suggestion on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 1

    How about we just boycott all CD's?

  7. Re:you just dont get it on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    I don't think it creates new realities. The realities already exist. That is, if you buy into the whole Multiverse theory of things.

    So, the sliders analogy works, but they can still return to this reality. The neat thing about this viewpoint is that it completely rules out possible time travel paradoxes. Whatever you change in the past was actually changed in a different reality. Everything remains the same when you come back because our reality hasn't changed.

    So, in a way, time is static. Imagine these separate realities as actually separate reality moments. There are infinite moments, one for each possibility that could have occurred at each moment in 'time'. Then, when the they time travel they actually travel to the reality moment that represents the possibility of them just showing up at that exact time.

    I picture this as an infinity x infinity x infinity cube.

    I'm just kinda pulling this out of my head as I go. It probably doesn't match up with any existing theories or anything, but it sounds good to me.

  8. Re:What on earth are these people gibbering about? on Bang The Machine · · Score: 1

    Perhaps clicking on links and reading a bit would clear up your confusion. I do believe that's what they're there for.

  9. That's all well and good... on Portable GameCube · · Score: 1

    But the GBA does essentially the same thing. You can plug the GameBoy Advance into a GameCube and use the GBA's screen and controls to play the game.

    And, at approximately 60-70 dollars you get quite a better deal. It even has it's own games and everything.

  10. This was actually announced... on Nintendo GameCube Clone Out In Japan · · Score: 1

    I remember reading an article published by Nintendo that said they would release a GameCube/DVD hybrid in Japan only, shortly after the initial GameCube launch. This must be the fruit of that labor.

    Matsushita is, of course, the company responsible for the DVD player add-on that can be used on standard GameCube's as well. This sounds like more of a collaboration, than a licensing of the GC itself.

    I'll try to find the article, but I know this announced several months back.

  11. I know people who are stupid enough... on The Report of My Thermal Death Have Been... · · Score: 1

    A person I built a system for didn't realize you can't handle a computer in the same manner as a football, she broke off one of the tabs that holds the heatsink on to the processor. The heatsink came halfway off, a lot of heat was generated. The plastic clips that hold the fan on the heatsink melted off.

    At this point the computer was making a really loud grinding noise(since the processor fan was now resting upside down on the video card). Of course, this person didn't realize that the grinding noise was a bad thing! So she went on using it for a good day and a half. Eventually it shutdown and never started again.

    When she finally called me the entire processor was charred black. It was an AMD 1.2ghz. I've still got it lying around here somewhere.

  12. I love my Cue:Cat on Hucksters, Suckers, and the Cue:Cat · · Score: 1

    I still have my Cue:Cat flashlight stuck somewhere around here. The first thing I did with mine when I got it was stick in a blue LED make a nice little flashlight. Very handy now.

  13. Re:Tyan 2460, nice but picky on Tiger MP Dual-Processor Motherboard · · Score: 1

    I had no problems with the board being picky. I ordered my RAM straight from Crucial and it worked just fine.

    The only problem I had was the fact that one of my processors arrived DOA, so currently my Dual Athlon board is running only one Athlon.

  14. Stability is wonderful on Tiger MP Dual-Processor Motherboard · · Score: 1

    I bought the Tiger about 2 weeks ago and I haven't had a single problem with it. I switched from the GA-7ZX-R which, needless to say, is a terrible motherboard.

    I'm running Athlon 1.1ghz(non MP, obviously. It also runs excellently in single processor mode, although I'm not sure why you'd want to do this.

  15. Buy Plextor and never worry again... on Sony Sells Defective, Damaging CDs in Eastern Europe · · Score: 1

    An article posted here suggests that Midbar's Cactus Data Shield may already be a moot technology. According to the article Plextor drives can read protected CD's (which normally cannot be read by CD-ROM drives). Also CloneCD can remove the Cactus protection.
