  1. Have you tried Dell? on Low-Profile Graphics Cards? · · Score: 1

    For a while my company was ordering the GX150's with an extra video card. Something from ATI I seem to recall. You might be able to order whatever card it was seperatly.

  2. Re:Modem on Low-Profile Graphics Cards? · · Score: 1

    I actually have a winmodem that came with a GX150 my work bought. I know that it fits and works perfectly, it was just sent by accident one time. Let me know if you need another one.

  3. Re:Freshness! on Should Open Source Software Expire? · · Score: 1

    Twinkies are only at the peak freshness for about a week, at least thats what the guy on "Unwrapped" said.

  4. Re:Couldn't disagree more... on LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB · · Score: 1

    Think any image of Sauron would be dissapointing.
    I always pictured him as a dark shadow with flaming eyes and maybe a glint of gold where a finger would be. But I realize that is almost as cartoony as PJ's version.

  5. Re:Saruman the White on LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB · · Score: 1

    Seeing your bit about Bill reminded me of something I noticed in the movie that bothered me.
    Gandalf never says anything about being in Moria before.

    But halfway through the mine when they run into the 3 doors, Gandolf pauses and says something along the lines of "This is not what I remeber"

    It's one thing to change the story to make it flow better, but that little bit wasn't consistant.

  6. Re:forget electronic security systems on Do-It-Yourself Home Security? · · Score: 1

    I agree. Nothing is as intimidating as a large dog with lots of teeth.

    I have a 80lb female red doberman and one of her sons (father part root weiler, part black lab)who weights in at a 100lbs.

    In truth they are very tame, but most people cross the street when we are out walking.

    Still, I play around with the idea of setting up cameras every now and then.

  7. Re:You still have to answer on TeleZapper - A Way to Avoid Telemarketers? · · Score: 1

    We need something that keeps it from ringing in the first place.

    Wire cutters?

    That happened to someone else too??
    Mine cut out at least 3 times during the show, the longest was almost a minute.

    Do you live in South Florida too?

  9. Re:Freedom of Religion? on Finally, A Solution To The DMCA · · Score: 1

    I still want someone to show me where the constitution says there should be a separation between the church and state. Try and find it. I see where it says that the government can't establish an official religon or require yor membership for citizenship.

    Its not in the explicitly (but a lot of things aren't), although writings from Jefferson use the seperation bit. I don't remeber the exact quote though, so I won't make an attempt at it.

    I'll look it up when I get home. I got a nice book called "Why the religious right is wrong about the seperation of church and state" that has a lot of arguements about it.

  11. Re:measure it! on Constants Not Constant? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of light speed, there is one question that I've been curious about in case anyone out there has an idea.

    Suppose we have an object traveling at at .5 c.
    Then the object shoots a beam of light in the direction of its travel. How fast is the beam of light moving relative to the ojbect and a fixxed point?

  12. Re:Another... how many are left? on SF Great Poul Anderson, 1926-2001 · · Score: 1

    Having worked at a bookstore that did seperate the two, I was constantly pissed that they never got the seperations right. And woe unto me if I ever got caught putting them in the wrong spot.

    Sure the star trek books and the tsr books are easy to catagorize. But what about stuff like the adept series from Piers Anthony (they never could decide where they went) or alot of stuff from Roger Zelazny? Or do you consider only hard stuff from the likes Bob Forward to be sci-fi?

  13. Re:looks cool but is it a practical choice on (Nearly) Zero-Force Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I find the lack of pricing disturbing. They have all this 'whiz-bang' stuff on their page, various methods of contacting them, but no prices. Hrm... developmental problems? Someone forgot to update the web page? Who knows....

    From the bottom of the Tech Page

    Price: $289

    Available: August 2001
    But this seems to be the only spot they mention it.

  14. My keyboard on No-Nonsense, Compact, USB/PS2 Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    This is probably not at all what you want (even if you could find another one) but I have one of those old IBM heavy duty, can use and blunt weapon, keyboards. But it has two cool features about it. The first being that it comes in black, the second being it has the little trackpoint thing embedded in it just like a laptop kb. I've got it plugged into my linux box at home, I don't really use X, but the nipple is handy for copy/pasting in gpm.

    And how exactly is this not describing the situation *today*?

    I only get about 500 channels of nothing.

  17. I beat /. to something on Robotech DVDs Released! · · Score: 1

    I happened to be in the mall last night (rare habbit for me) and wander into the DVD store. Browsed around a little, not really looking for anything in particular. About to give up and lo and behold, there it was sitting on the new release rack. With a small shout of joy, I quickly beat down some little kids pawwing at it and ran to the register with my new found prize. And some people say I need a life...

  18. Re:Chord-based keyboard on Alternative Text Input Methods? · · Score: 2

    A company called Infogrip makes a keyboard similiar to this. It has seven keys, four cording and three meta. It looks kinda cool, but runs about $200, so out of my price range to get one for playing with.

  19. I doubt this would happen. on PS2 As PC · · Score: 1

    I've always had my doubts about this. Especially using a kb and mouse. Most everyone I know with a console of any kind sets the console/tv up on one side of the room and then sits on the couch on the oposite side of the room. People would have to rearange everything to accomodate a new set of peripherals. Not to mention that you'd have to get aol to play nice with sony as well as the linux community.Now they could advertise the whole setup (PS2, decent LCD, mouse kb) but how would it be that different from any other internet appliance (in the eyes of gramma)?

    There was something called a TriStar 64. It played GB, NES, and SNES games. http://www.tristar64.com for their homepage.

  21. Re:Gameboy Advance in San Fran on Nintendo Gameboy Advance, In Advance · · Score: 1

    I saw one in a Toys R Us a couple weeks ago. The only problem I had with it was the fact that it was bolted down to a shelf about 3' high (I'm 6'1"). And the fact I had to fight off some little kids in order to play it.

  22. This could be a good idea but.. on Scott McNealy On Privacy · · Score: 1

    I've heard this idea plenty of times before. My computer knows I like to do X and finds me the closest place and scheduals me for it. But I can easily see a lot of people running around doing things without thinking about them because thier PDAs told them to. While it's an interesting concept (machines getting people to do their bidding in the name of fun) it's not for me.
