  1. Re:what a cliche on Glass In Spaaaaace · · Score: 1

    The first three rules would take precedence, enabling it to perform those dangerous actions.

  2. Re:The PR0N MUST FLOW! on ACLU to Challenge Utah Porn-Blocking Law · · Score: 1

    Wait, I thought the evil bit was the pr0n bit. When it's switched on, it's porn, when it's not...

  3. Re:Too bad. on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 1

    Whereabouts? The pizza here in Buffalo is damned good, although I admit I've never been to NYC or Chicago.

  4. Re:Can I take a walk through your wire room? on Writing Down Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't know about other gear, but if you have physical access to a Cisco device, you can reset or get the password anyways, quite easily, at that. I was taught how to in High School as part of a class.

  5. Re:This may lend credence to the on Laptops Outsell Desktops · · Score: 1

    I recently had to replace the hard drive in my powerbook 12"
    Given the rather intense density of parts, I imagine any space for a PC card slot would have been in sacrafice of heatsink size.

    Obviously, one could design around this, and there are PC laptops even smaller with the card slots, but I can see where difficultly might arise.

  6. Re:800 nm ??? on The Diagnostic 'Bugbot' · · Score: 1

    That was my thought, since I have a laser that's at 532nm
    They obviously don't mean mm, since that'd be... ah, rather large, so I imagine it's inbetween.

  7. Re:Phantom Console on Phantom Console May Never Materialize · · Score: 1

    His drivers must be horribly out of date, I played it smoothly on an Athlon XP 2500+, 512MB of RAM, and a Radeon 9600XT

  8. Re:Quiet Macs on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 1

    While you CAN get x86 machines running at that kind of noise level, it's difficult and time-consuming, especially if you want one with any kind of real power.

  9. Re:iMac on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 0

    The MacMini is not an iMac, and it does not have a g5 processor.
    Furthermore, the 65 watts or so of heat the g5 puts out is not that much compared to many x86 CPUs, which makes apple's latency in putting out a g5 powerbook somewhat bothersome.

    I don't think it's heat, though, that is the primary issue, but rather power consumption for a portable.

    For now, I'll stay with my g4 867 12" PowerBook, I suppose.

  10. Re:Affordable? on Portable Internet Radio to take on XM? · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Cingular and ATT charged you for the airtime as well as the data charge. Is that not the case? If that's so, I may need to revisit some old ideas.

  11. Re:Man flamebait or what. on RealNetworks Invests in Legitimizing Free Music · · Score: 1

    It still might be nice for sampling new stuff, but at only 25 plays a month, I'd go through it real quick.

  12. Re:iPod shuffle ... on USB Flash Drive Round-up · · Score: 1

    Since it charges over the USB port, I imagine it would do fine without the battery to be used as a USB drive. I've done such on very low, although not neseccarily(sic) dead batteries in the past with mine.

    It does "interfere" with storage in that space used for files is space you can't use for music when it's being used for files (obviously), but iTunes has a slider for this. I personally set aside 16 of my 512MB, since it's enough for some selected code, .docs, and a handful of images.

  13. Re:Exoman on Commercial Exoskeletons · · Score: 1

    Was it seriously a decade? Man... I feel old too now... it can't have been a decade.

  14. Re:cheap $500 ? on Free Software on a Cheap Computer · · Score: 1

    SFF PCs probably being in reference to Shuttle boxen, where you get a chassis, motherboard and PSU , but nothing else.

    Well, they're still trying to iron out all the bugs.

    If I recall correctly, it was the episode where homer released the space-ant colony while eating chips?

    Unless of course it was the sound of the joke going over my head. Who knows?

    That was the sound of the joke going right over your head, hear it?

  20. Re:Amateurs don't carry static charges? on Inside the PSP · · Score: 1

    No, but it does determine how likely you are to have that kind of thing laying around. Still silly to exclude others in that statement, but it does still parse.

  21. Re:I would buy a Mac... on Return of the Mac · · Score: 1

    Laptops have a display and keyboard, and I suppose the touchpad qualifies as a mouse, a pointing device, at the least.

    Hey, if we're going to pick nits...

  22. Re:G3 and OSX is fine on Return of the Mac · · Score: 1

    It's not desirable for OS X, but it's workable. I run at 1024x768 myself, and everything is still a bit cramped feeling, but with expose, it's very workable.

  23. Re:No matter how careful you are, you aren't enoug on ID Theft Made Easy · · Score: 1

    You're in the very small minority as far as filling the tank goes. We have CRIND (Card Reader In Dispenser).

    As far as being advesarial seems, it's unfortunate, but drive-offs happen enough that it's an unfortunat necessity. The stupid part of it, though, is the insanely small amounts people will drive off with. I've seen someone drive off with less than a dollar worth of gas. Doesn't seem worth the risk to me. To their credit, anything over 20 dollars I write down the plate number for, unless I'm otherwise occupied.

  24. Re:No matter how careful you are, you aren't enoug on ID Theft Made Easy · · Score: 1

    It helps, and we have some pumps where I work that are pre-pay only, but man, you should see the fits people throw over being forced to walk all the way over to the counter twenty feet from the pump. It's not even as if they have to come back into the store, either... so it's the same trip they would have made one way or another.

    That's a pretty interesting concept, thanks for the link.
