  1. Re:Don't stop at just a power button on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    Black boxes are a problem beause they can be used to track you.

    Blowing out speakers is solving a public nuisance, if in an illegal and destructive fashion.

    Different things entirely.

  2. Re:Don't stop at just a power button on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    The real problem with those is that the IR LED isn't powerful enough, it's focused and of limited range.

  3. Re:Decimal ugliness! on Overclockers Top 6GHz With A 3.6GHz-Rated P4 · · Score: 1

    I presume you're talking about contact.
    The one thing that bugged me about that...

    What's the presumed charachter width of the display? 80 chars? two million?

  4. Re:Post singularity on 2250 AD: A Nautical Odyssey · · Score: 1

    Maybe you mean kilometer? As it is, I'm just shy of 2m tall, so that'd be pretty small for 5000 people. Unless we made them really tiny...

    *strokes chin in thought*

    =P

    No, it's not. Although I did once use "fuckyoukeegan" when a kid named keegan kept asking for the password to my guest account.

    Yeah, my "Myself" isn't too bad.
    It's a weak password, but it's approaching decency.

  9. Re:.so hell NOT NO MORE FOR ME! on Two Years Before the Prompt: A Linux Odyssey · · Score: 1

    Different kernels, I would imagine, so, yes.

    Someone might prove me wrong, but I think I'm correct.

    Windows CE is only Windows by name. It's a completely different codebase, running on completely different processors.

  11. Re:Ah! on DirecTV Plans 1500 HiDef Channels by End of 2007 · · Score: 1

    No kidding. Whenever I go over to my freind's house, we might be watching one of the more "obscure" channels (in that very few people watch them) and there's times where the audio will drop to tinny crap, or the signal would just skip kind of like a scratched CD.

  12. Re:Bobby Fischer in the ICC ? on Internet Chess Club Security Defeated · · Score: 1

    You might have been trying to funny, but I wonder about moving the peices in both dimensions?

    Well, I was mostly right.

    Thanks for the correction.

    ECS = Elite Computer Systems.

    They make a lot of cheap motherboards.
    They're unfortunately hit or miss, it seems.

  15. Re:oh GOOD on IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Being on slashdot has to add 2 or three points right there.

  16. Re:If I get my hands on this... on Video Games Hit The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Sure ya can. Just crank up the bulb strength, add a couple lenses, douse the screen in some hydrocarbons... and POOF! burnt in pacman!

    Couldn't you use an aerator of some sort?

  19. Re:Creative uses? on Duke University Students Receive iPods · · Score: 1

    The point being that it's a unique marking, which makes it easier to identify as stolen property. As one of the other posters pointed out, though, it could be passed off as "unwanted".

    Except that the things are engraved, which makes them a bit more difficult to fence.

    Alternately, there's cases like me.
    I had it on preorder, and bought it a little over a week later (I had things to do...) after having beaten it.

    Link to a reason why? I'm curious.

    Because he's looking at the word, holding that word in memory, then typing it back out, not looking at a letter, holding that letter in memory, then typing it back out. It makes perfect sense to me.

  25. Re:similar setup on Doom 3 Gets Reviews, Piracy Questions, Exultation · · Score: 1

    I'm running a very similar setup (really just less RAM), and it's very playable at 1024x768 high detail, although there's some flicker and it gets a bit jerky opening doors sometimes.
