  1. Re:why doesn't microsoft do this? on Windows Accelerators - Do They Really Work? · · Score: 1

    Because they do sell software on pretty much every OEM box that goes out...

  2. Re:Sweeeeeet. on Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts · · Score: 1

    Using the drivers that came on the CD? Those suck.

  3. Re:Good! on Cell Phones Becoming Profitless · · Score: 1

    Erie County (and possibly all of NYS, I'm not sure) has laws prohibiting the use of phones while driving... unless you have a handsfree set.

  4. Re:Pen kills LCD... on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    Freind of mine's father is a jeweler, did the same thing with a ring, but the machine still works nicely.

  5. Re:Ads and Spams on TiVo-Like Service Coming To Australia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think the trick is that there's a breif pause between the show and the ads in which there is a black screen. It detects this black screen (and probably some other stuff imbedded in the signal) and knows to mark it as the start of the commercial, and then waits for the other black screen signal to mark it as the end of the commercial.

  6. Re:Ah... I can't... oh no... on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    It's a chiller for processors. Average temp for a chip with one of these is in the low negative 30s (celcius, no less)

  7. Re:My Local BestBuy on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 1

    You know if that's a national thing? I have a LOT of monitors sitting around here that I wouldn't mind changing in for a 19" CRT or something relatively newer.

  8. Re:I hate stories like this... on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 1

    Whatcha sitting with? The local university is tossing out some p3 motherboards here, (Slot1), I could toss one your way for the cost of shipping.

    Pics, general specs? email me.

  10. Re:Wide range laser-tag on Modding Laser Tag Gear? · · Score: 1

    Yes! We ran that as a forty person game in high school. My girlfreind ended up being my assasin, but hey, I had some fun before she killed me.

    Mmm... wifi.

  12. Re: The US always the last to get cool stuff on New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features · · Score: 1

    If it's originally written in a proportional font, the formatting will be fucked when you go to look at it in a fixed width font.

  13. Re:Medical devices on U.S. Government Sometimes Jams Keyless Car Locks? · · Score: 1

    Your point might hold true still, but last I checked, radio stations generally didn't run HDTV

  14. Re:I for welcome our new VIN invaders on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    True, but for most of the applications involving humans, it won't be too bad. I understand the problem, though.

  15. Re:I for welcome our new VIN invaders on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    Except that it's pretty easy to tell the difference between the two on casual inspection.

    Instead of .031xxxx?

  17. Re:Fighting for sake of peace... on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster · · Score: 1

    If you know of a better way to make more virgins, I'd like to hear it.

    Seriously, I'm running 2.2 on my laptop quite happily.

    Hmm... 600 dollar difference.

    SCO, perhaps?

  22. Re:Um No on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    You're right, it's only with some motherboards, and only if you set it to such. As far as THW goes, they're pretty much laughed at among most enthusiasts nowadays, usually for their obvious intel/nVidia bias.

  23. Re:I'm definitely not a technical guru... on Akamai DNS Outage Messes up Net · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the read speeds are alright, but good lord are the write speeds horrible.

  24. Re:Um No on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    Only the pentium 4, as far as desktops go, and in certain laptops as well, but aside from that, no. It's far from "most".

  25. Re:Darknet used as filter. on Build A Darknet To Capture Naughty Traffic · · Score: 1

    Ok, I can concede as much.
