  1. Re:one movie that was perfect for CGI on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1
    movie CGI? hell...wait a couple years it could be the first interactive movie

    (yes, still computer generated imagery...but game-style [realtime])

  2. Re:BSD software abundance? on The State of the Demon Address · · Score: 1

    IIRC, FreeBSD can run most if not all Linux binaries straight up (provided you're on the same CPU arch)

  3. Re:Stop 0x0000000A on Computer Problems Already Affecting Florida Voters · · Score: 5, Insightful

    why was the touch screen system connected to the internet?

  4. Re:DNA? on BEST Robotics Competition Kicks Off Challenge 2004 · · Score: 1

    There's a futurama quote somewhere that should apply to this...I just know it, but I can't think of it.

  5. Re:Airport Express on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 1
    more thoughts....this is cheapest since you don't need to have another machine to run linux on (technically inept == win or mac rig already in house)...you can sell that on eBay (if you already have it) to pay for the Airport Express or new HDD


    just because you may think writing your own frontend is cool now doesn't mean you'll think it's cool when it goes *boom*....i know I said this earlier, but I speak from experience
    (so I felt like repeating it).

  6. Airport Express on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 1
    $129. Apple Airport Express + iTunes. It will pipe the audio out to their stereo.

    If need be, add another hard drive to a PC and have iTunes use that for all the music.

    this really is all you need, since you don't seem inclined to make a stereo-side frontend for control too. If you were trying to make a stereo-side frontend, then this would be better...but why do this, especially when you're going to have to support it for someone else?

    by all means, though, have fun doing this at home where you (hopefully) don't have other people nagging you when it goes *boom*

  7. Re:Money vs. Amateurs --- Guess who wins on FCC Approves BPL Despite Interference Concerns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    actually, if I know the ham regs right (a friend of mine who is an operator told me this), all the money a pissed off radio operator needs is enough for a big-ass amp...then he can legally piss all over the BPL frequencies and there'd be nothing the power co can do.

  8. Re:EP V and VI are not out yet??? on Detailed Changes In Star Wars DVD Release w/Pics · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    no, the analyses aren't out yet.

    *looks over at his trilogy box set and sees ep. iv, v and vi there.*

    p.s. I have 6 gmail invites and only need 3 people to complete an offer.

    yes, 1 complete offer gets 2 invites. if you don't succeed, try again.

  9. Re:Easy: on Senate Wants Database Dragnet · · Score: 1

    actually, i think the idea is to hide by not getting in the DBs in the first place...they can't notice suspicious activity if they have no record of it actually happening.

  10. Re:Garmin Publishes interface... on Two Ways To Use GPS With Linux · · Score: 1

    They don't tell you how to upload maps. That's what pisses most people I know off....no maps from anything but Winblows.

  11. Re:As much as I hate to admit it . . . on Microsoft Media Center 2005 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    MythTV www.mythtv.org

    I can even watch TV from across a network with it, using KnoppMyth as the frontend.

  12. Re:Cheaper Macs on The Ultimate MacDate · · Score: 1

    my 15" PB G4 1.5Ghz has a standard-size DVI output...not a mini. iBooks have a mini VGA out, similar to some Sony VAIO laptops (my former Sony Picturebook had an adapter that looked exactly like the iBook one)

  13. Re:Main character = John on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 1

    And the DVD could let you name him!

  14. Re:Fluid Logic Chips as EMP proof systems on Fluid Logic Chips · · Score: 1

    I knew I had heard the term 'fluidic circuitry' somewhere before.

  15. Re:vote with the guy with the exact same inteligen on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    lol. well put. can I use part or all of this somewhere (e.g. away message)?

  16. Re:Use it to replace 7,8, and 9... on Star Wars TV Show · · Score: 1
    even better: BERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAN!!!!!

    (same style as the Khan yell, of course...needed to explain it for the damn lameness filter)

  17. Re:Not worried about this.... on Spysats Keeping Watch on the U.S. · · Score: 1
    because it's the principle of the issue...if something you like to do became illegal for no good reason...or you felt it necessary to break the law to protect yourself, you wouldn't have as much freedom to act.

    p.s. I have 6 gmail invites and only need 3 people to complete an offer. 1 offer completed == 2 invites for you.

  18. MPAA math on Super-Fast Dual-Layer DVD Writing · · Score: 0, Troll
    So a 16x DVD burner is how many pirate DVD burners in MPAA math? 16? 32? =P

    p.s. I have 6 gmail invites and only need 3 people to complete an offer. 1 complete offer == 2 gmail invites.

  19. Re:stickers? on USB Thumb Drives as ... Fashion Statement? · · Score: 1
    Does putting flame stickers on it make a USB 1.1 thumbdrive into a USB 2.0 one? =P

    p.s. I have 6 gmail invites and only need 3 people to complete an offer.

  20. Re:To avoid this problem... on Will Google Launch A Browser? · · Score: 1
    and by sheer coincidence, they all end with 'macs'...

    get it? 'emacs' ? =p

  21. Re:Skynet on Zombie Networks On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Actually, in terminator 3, IIRC, that was *exactly* what happened...a malicious worm did come together and become self-aware.

  22. Re:Earthlink supports P2P! on Earthlink Releases SIP Based P2P File-Sharing App · · Score: -1, Redundant
    hrm...but weren't they one of the first to block port 25?

  25. Re:Everyone has lost their minds on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 1
    Amen. I think *exactly* the same way. I always have a clean desktop...besides, I always have pictures I want to see as the background, so that provides an incentive to keeep it clean
