  1. Re:Alternative Energy Sources... on Intel Reveals Next-Gen CPUs · · Score: 1

    I'm not really sure about wind power...

    Sure, why not?
    Especially for management :)

  2. Re:A giant hoax on Congressman Seeks Scientists' Personal Data · · Score: 1

    We should have more links like the fossil fools one above. Maybe Google will then finally learn the truth.

  3. Netcraft on Fox to Purchase Myspace · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to Netcraft, the rank of MySpace.com is only 76.

    Number 1 is -- of course -- Google. Slashdot has rank 587.

  4. Re:I had two interviews at Google on Defining Google · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell, Google's math still works.

  5. Easy on Homemade CD Shooter? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just rewrite the firmware for your CD-ROM player: let it spin up to its maximum speed and then open the tray.

  6. The message on Happy Spamiversary! · · Score: 2, Informative

  7. Other hand? on Silent Mice for Silent PCs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    My mouse, on the other hand, makes a very audible *click* each time I use it...

    Why do you use your other hand?

    *ducks*

  8. Isn't it ironic... on Netcraft Claims Apache Now Runs 2/3rds Of The Web · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... that this article appears directly above the article "Lies, Damned Lies, And [Gaming] Statistics"?

  9. I'm still waiting for... on What Goofy USB Devices Have You Found? · · Score: 1

    ...the USB killer, a device like the Etherkiller, but for USB devices instead.

  10. Re:Networking the other kind... on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1

    Yes, he does!

  11. Objections on Prevayler Quietly Reaches 2.0 Alpha, Bye RDBMS? · · Score: 1

    The idea of Prevayler is good, but it lacks a few things:

    * How about really large databases? I know people who administer databases of 300 GB. There is no way you get that much RAM in a machine. Besides, I wonder how long the nightly snapshot would take.

    * How do you implement clustering, where different machines access the same data. This could be implemented using synchronisation protocols, but that would reduce the speed dramatically.

  12. Re:Here's the keyboard you want on Have Keyboards Gone Crazy? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if he also sells keyboards with only A's, B's, C's, ...

  13. A few remarks on Wireless Camera for Baby Monitoring? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Being the proud father of a nearly three month old daughter, I'd like to add the following:

    When you need electronic devices to monitor your child, you're simply too far away: when your child needs you, you will hear it, even when you're at the other side of the house. When you want to see your child, sit next to it instead of watching a webcam.

    What about your wife? She now needs a caring husband instead of someone in the basement messing around with cameras and web servers.

  14. New on ThinkGeek on Haunted Houses Explained: Infrasound · · Score: 1

    A solar powered, portable infrasound generator.

    Ideal for getting rid of annoying guests!

  15. Great technology for implementing The Matrix on IBM Testing New Grid Technology with Quake 2 · · Score: 1

    GameGrid dynamically partitions areas of the game map, including players and objects, onto different servers. If a player or object, such as a rocket, moves from one server to another, the first server sends the player's state -- the player's name, vector, velocity, and statistics -- from one server to the next.

  16. Re:Is this a C# or a .NET problem? on Hijacking .NET · · Score: 1

    This is not a security hole if you look at the concepts behind .NET. However, Java does over the power to protect your system from code running on it.

    For a number of applications, this is quite handy. For instance, in a large application we once build we wanted to offer to our customers the possibility to add their plugins to our framework. Using Java security it waspossible to specify what they can and what the can't. Unfortunatly, it is not something that is very easy to configure.

    Another area where this is handy is when you want to be able to run small applet or agent-like programs, for instance in a browser or on a cell phone or PDA. By offering the correct protection you can have their functionality without having to fear that they will do something wrong.

  17. Re:The mere existence of the game = movie spoiler. on The Matrix Online Announced · · Score: 1

    If you are a Star Wars fan, you know the Rebellion didn't end when the second Death Star blew up. You know that the fight with the Empire continued for at least a decade after that battle.

    No, that's for episodes 7, 8 and 9.

  18. Write a plugin for Outlook on Writable Contact Lists With Outlook and LDAP? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Can't you write a plugin for Outlook that synchronizes the local address book (or a subfolder of it) with the LDAP directory?

    Disadvantage: the contacts are also present in the address book of Outlook.

    Advantage: the contacts are always available, even when the LDAP directory is not accessible (interesting for travelling users).

  19. Another interesting project on Floppy the Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can also build your own nuclear weapon using a discarded smoke detector and a cell phone.

  20. Re:So I guess this is for boys only? on MIT Creates Urine-Controlled Video Game · · Score: 3, Interesting
  21. Ubersoft on IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Hooray! on Ballmer on Windows Server 2003, Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    And it is delivered on *ONLY* three DVD's.

    A 3 GHz processor, 2GB RAM and a 60GB hard disk are all you need to run it.

  23. Re:innovation. on Ballmer on Windows Server 2003, Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess its buried next to the floppy disk, printers ( paperless office), serial port, parallel port, tape backup systems, and mainframes.

    Don't forget the paperclip (e.g; a paperclip-less office).

  24. What about the incubation period? on Singapore Using Thermal Imaging to Check for SARS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is possible that people are being infected with the SARS virus without having a fever yet. How will they get screened?

  25. Three buttons are not enough on 3-button Optical Mice? · · Score: 1

    Since I have five fingers, a mouse should have five buttons.
