  1. The entire article is troll/flamebait! on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 1

    As it doesn't *ever* mention the backdoors that it leaves open for post-installment of key-sniffers, spam-relays, etc etc.

  2. Re:Snob on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    Geeks, keep this in mind: Women are more likely to notice your watch and your shoes. If you are saying cheap or nerd with these items, it will not matter if you have $500 glasses and a nice jacket. :)

    Is that really the kind of S.O. you want? Well, nice glasses and nice jacket is ok, but dictating a price point is ludicrous.

  3. Re:What is silent? on Review of Silent 400w Power Supply · · Score: 1

    They defined 0dB as "equal to" just below what the average person can hear.

    Your stereo defined 0dB to be "the loudest it gets".

    It's a relative unit, true.

  4. At least it wasn't... on Shawn Fanning's New Venture · · Score: 1

    ScoNap!

  5. Chris' call to Valve on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Hi, Valve? Yeah, this is Chris Toshok. Yeah, I got no computers to play your next game on, you know? Not your problem you say? Just a sec... I'm adding a couple new obfuscated filters to Evolution..."

  6. Re:That's audio ? on The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio · · Score: 1

    That's because the tone generator is generic and crappy. Done properly, that wouldn't happen. If anything, the pitch would wobble, not amplitude modulation.

  7. Re:double-blind, controlled test, please? on The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio · · Score: 1

    Duh. If the sample rate is 44.1KHz, obviously there is 11KHz content. All the way up to 22.05KHz, and then you need to filter to stop aliasing. But obviously one desires a smooth roll-off, so the filter point often starts at 16/18/20 KHz.

  8. Re:In Britain .. on Land Speed Record Broken: 0-6,400 in Six Seconds · · Score: 1

    [ No. It's the Front of the cabin. I doubt the cabin would face the opposite direction of travel. ]

    No, the back of the cabin. After acceleration, duh.

  10. Re:Wrong on Analysis of Netflix's DVD Allocation System · · Score: 1

    Um, like he said, some fit on one disc, some fit on two (or you increase the compression and make it fit on one!).

  11. Translation on Games Workshop Tries to Crack Down on Internet Sales · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Please, stop selling our products! And stop advertising them too!!"

    (Sell! Sell! Sell!)

  12. Re:5-8 mbit? on HD DVD Coming Very Soon · · Score: 1

    720x480

    x240 is 60 FPS. The rest of the world talks
    about 30 or 24 fps.

  13. Re:please excuse us while we reboot the theater... on Windows Media 9 in Digital Theaters · · Score: 1

    i HATE when WMP does that. it fugging asks WHILE the media is playing. it can't wait until the next time it starts or stops...

  14. Re:Even Cheaper on Are We Not Ready For 64-Bit? · · Score: 1

    They have 512MB PC2100-DDR for $40.01. That mean $320.08 for 4GB.

    Yeah, to put in that $750 motherboard with 8 ram slots...
