  1. Re:NY times login generator on Japan Builds World's Fastest Computer · · Score: 1

    I also think it is way cool. Thought I would mention what all /.'s know anyway. This LG is javascript which the author invites you to "steal" and do what you want with. I have a copy on my desk top, saves majcher.com a little bother.

    Silly rabbit, it will see it as twice as big as it needs be.

    Hey Mikej, is this a troll for a free plug? There are a number of simple scripts that do a pretty good job blocking password sharing. Check this out.

    Unsure whether the kid was a thief or an out-of-uniform employee, Webb watched as he left the store. "I thought there's no point in getting any more involved in this imbroglio," Webb said. "Besides, this is Texas. You never know what he might have been carrying."

  5. Ballon video on Ballooning into Space · · Score: 1

    The mov file is about 11.1Mb and a little large for dial up guys. Go here for Real Media versions weighing in between 159 to 704 KB.

  6. upload is the key on Dump Broadband, Dig Out Your Modem! · · Score: 1

    Do any of you people ever upload anything? That, to me, is the single best advantage of a DSL connection. And I do video chat with people, a 225k real media stream is not broadcast quality, it is close enough. For a sunday morning chat with my mom.

    The poor upload speeds are what is holding back wide spread adoption of "broadband".

    I started out a few years back with 384 SDSL and switch about a month ago to 1500/384 ADSL. The floating IP is a minor problem, easly worked around. At $89 (us) a month I figure it's a steal.

    With out a fast net connection I'm not sure I would bother to have a box at home.

  9. Next generation Emachine on Shuttle's Tiny PC Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I really think this is all we are looking at here. With the exception of a few ports and being a little bit smaller it's a dead ringer.

  10. Video in Real Media on The Joys Of Losing Your Cooling Device · · Score: 1

    The good folks on a dial up may not want to do the 9 meg d/l. Instead of downloading the Divx try the Real Media files here They should stream, takes a bit to start up. Both 34k and 225k.

  11. news page fish translation on Cowboy Bebop on TV This Fall · · Score: 1

    Here is the news page translated by my favorite fish. http://members.hometown.aol.com/_ht_a/nam1tog/cowb oybebop.htm?mtbrand=AOL_US It starts of with this "Completely, rain something the blowing Á, this time of kind of today which it flies is, but everyone how you probably will pass?

  13. Do it yourself on Rental Car + GPS = Speeding Ticket · · Score: 1

    Instead of whining about this, show how smart you are and start doing this yourself. The possibilitys are endless. Fine coworkers and family members alike for each occurrence. $150 is chump change, make it at least one large. The unit only costs $550 here http://www.spysite.com/gps_tracking.html
    Too lazy to cut and paste;TravelEyes is a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) vehicle tracking system used for monitoring the travel activities of private vehicles. The TravelEyes unit uses GPS satellite signals to provide extremely accurate positioning, typically between 10 feet and 50 feet of actual vehicle location. Designed to be concealed within the vehicle (the included small GPS antenna 1.5"x1.5"x.75" must be placed in an unobstructed location to "see" the satellites signal - cannot be blocked by metal or other materials that prohibit radio signals), the miniature-sized TravelEyes is a tiny computer that rides aboard the vehicle telling you the exact whereabouts of the driver, including the address of each destination, names of streets traveled, how long the vehicle remained at each location AND IF THE DRIVER WAS SPEEDING!

  16. Chicken shit disclaimer on Open Power Management Console · · Score: 3

    I can not understand why people do this. The direct quote from the article is "Make sure you discuss this with a qualified electrician first, before you proceed." What a load of crap. I held "A" grade credentials in the IBEW for 20 years. I have been retired now for some time, but in the course of my active work life some things went a bit south on me. To state it bluntly I blew up and electrocuted more people, places, and things then the average domestic terorist. All the while drawing the prevailing wage. Once my peers noticed this above average ability of mine I was promoted first to foreman and then to general foreman. The reason for that was simple, I created far more work then I ever did. A "qualified electrician" is the same as saying "just out of detox". Or needs the job for his parole officer.

    Thanks eulevik, I was looking for sites just like this. You probably know the drill, DSL and a little adapter to pop it up on a tv. My parents love the "classic" movies. Now they at long last have a use for the computer I set up for them.
