  1. Not possible on Blown Motherboard from ATA-100 Cables? · · Score: -1


    Rounded cables are no different than flat ones,
    at least electrically. What most likely happened
    was one or more pins on the IDE bus came into contact with one another and this caused a short.
    What did these capacitors look like? I assume they
    were polarized. If you have a fine tip, low temperature soldering iron and a steady hand you can replace them for a couple of dollars.

  2. Berman on Star Trek: Enterprise Reactions? · · Score: -1


    Rick Berman has single-handedly ruined Star Trek.
    The reason he did not kill TNG was because the storyline was pretty much already static. DS9
    sucked after the first season when he had full creative control. Voyager was 90% Gilligan's Island in Space with the stupidest actors. What
    is up with that theme song? Me and my friends
    just looked at each other in horror. R.I.P.
    Star Trek.

  3. hmm on Ontario Defies U.S. Company Over Cancer Test Patent · · Score: -1


    That's not a very good comparison. This company used monpolistic practices that involved people's
    lives and the foundation of what makes us human.
    This isnt a case about Company X whining about lost profits due to "Free Software." Free software
    has it's place, Open source softwre has it's place, and commerical software has it's place.
    Throwing everything at any one is ignorant.

  6. VRML does suck. on Review Of 3D Web Browsers · · Score: -1

    I remember back in '96 when this was a new thing..
    I couldn't wait. I was sorely disappointed.
    1) The navigation SUCKS, at the very least
    the software could allow you to modify how you
    move in a easy fashion

    2) It is slow as hell. It takes forever to load
    (compared with html) and has a very low framerate.

    3) It is a pain in the ass to produce VRML pages.

    There needs to be a new standard. Perhaps a
    standard "engine" and standard graphics and maps.
    You download specialized graphics and maps
    if needed.

  12. Re:The name on Ogg The Conqueror? RC2 Is Out · · Score: 1

    We will see how widely accepted it is. I believe it'll be a flop.

  13. Re:The name on Ogg The Conqueror? RC2 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Windows? What does this have to do with Windows. MP3 at least logically represents what the file is. OggVorbis sounds like a kiddie cartoon character and is not quite a weildy are very marketable name. MP3 sounds high-tech to people that don't understand. And like LP,CD, and DVD it is an acronym that can somewhat relate what the format is. You dont sell products to uptight self-righteous dorks, you sell them to grandma.

  14. The name on Ogg The Conqueror? RC2 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Dont' get me wrong, I love the .ogg format and have encoded quite a few of my CDs with it. But I wonder about it's success. Most of the people (non-techical people,aside from using a web browser and downloading mp3s)I have talked to about it cannot get over the dorky name, "Ogg Vorbis". This is a problem with alot of open-source projects. They may be superior to commercial alternatives but are not geared(or marketed) towards the average joe. I know why the name was chosen. I just think its a stupid name for a format that is "supposed" to replace MP3.

    That will get you nothing but a 404 error. Try actually logging out and do it.

  16. BellSouth on SBC Wants To Switch DSL Format To PPPoE · · Score: 1

    BellSouth did this recently. As far as I know, it was because their network administrators couldn't figure out a way to prevent people from just setting static ip's on their bridged connection. You would order a DSL circuit, pay one month and then cancel service. They just took your ethernet's MAC out of their system. You just simply manually set your interface paramaeters, generate some ARP requests and you have free broadband. This was so stupid that I imagined hundreds of people doing it. Now, PPPoE is compulsory.

  23. Bong on Optical Feedback For Perfect Coffee · · Score: 5

    My friends and I were doing something similar for potheads all over the world. Ours was a regular straight-pipe bong with a red LED and a CdS photo-detector. This controlled a small air-pump near the top of the bong. One started, the airpump would shutoff once the voltage dropped to a sufficient level due to the smoke in the chamber.

  25. Let a little air out of the tires... on Eco-Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I HATE SUV's and their drivers. They (obviously) accelerate slowly and for some strange reason the drivers are on average are more apt to act like assholes. Upper middle class, lower- upper class...they all have to have one, you know because the neighbors have one.
