  1. They *could* add... on Next Windows To Get Multicore Redesign · · Score: 1

    EFI support. Oh, wait. Then they'd be copying Apple, right?

  2. A cellphone/webcam hybrid might work... on Producing a Quiz Show from Multiple Locations? · · Score: 1

    Use the phones on a conference call: the contestatnts hear the question at the same time, and the first one to speak the correct answer wins the point. The webcams are just window-dressing to add to the excitement factor. Audio from the phones and the webcams can be hear/shown at each location, too.
    If you were to take the conference call and drop it online, folks from everywhere could tune in.
    Sounds like fun!

  3. With the potential to damage the open-source image on SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL · · Score: 1

    ...it make me wonder if Micro$oft doesn't own a chunk of SCO.

  4. My first printer... on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    was an Epson RX80-FT. It was built like a tank, and ran like one, too. It worked without failure - no problems - for over ten years! And was still cranking out dot-matrix documents when I finally sold it.

    Today's inkjets are junk, like throw-away phone cards. But nice lasers can be had for less than $400.

  5. end of the world on... on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Miracle Mile

  6. Re:I'd be delighted to find a good surplus in Bois on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Felix.

    I'll check it out the next time I'm in town.

  7. I'd be delighted to find a good surplus in Boise on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 1

    Being from Hamilton, Ontario, one of my favorite things to do was cruise the Queen Street surplus shops in Toronto 'way back when.

    But now that I'm in Idaho, there really isn't *any* surplus place I've found. At least, none within a two-hour drive, which is the same as "just around the corner" in Idaho.

  8. Ten years... on How Much Does it Cost to Produce a Recording? · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...ago, I worked for a contemporary country artist (Michelle Wright, "Take it like a man" was *the* U.S. hit) as the front-of-house tech.

    She had a few cds out at the time, and I remember hearing from her (or her manager) that the cost to make an album *for the label* is around one dollar apiece.

    Do I bother *YOU* at *your* work?

  9. What about an unique price-identifier... on Alternatives to the CBDTPA? · · Score: 1

    embedded in each "original work?"

    That way, the netcops could figuratively "pull you over," and ask to scan your machine. If you didn't already own the original cd/dvd/whatever the cops would ticket you the price-per-piece. If they didn't recieve payment immediately, maybe they could instruct your player to not play those tunes. (requires optional equipment not shown. batteries not included)

  10. Non Violent Games on Creative Games sans Violence? · · Score: 1

    What about Abe's Oddyssee, and Loderunner?

  11. Re:Anybody remember... on MenuetOS Debuts · · Score: 1

    Hey! I played with GEOS for a laugh...I remember the Epson dot-matrix driver was killer!

  12. Encounter 2001" To Send Human DNA To Space on "Encounter 2001" To Send Human DNA To Space · · Score: 1

    Has anybody else read the short sci-fi story called "To serve man?"

  13. Snail Mail Spam on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    YES! Weigh it down, Dammit! I don't want you to send me this stuff, so you're gonna pay if you send it! ...dude!?
