    So who gives a shit if a rat takes a byte out of a cable? Sorry, bad joke...

    Amen.

  5. Re:Don't do either on Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering? · · Score: 1

    A programmer can program, a computer scientist solves problems.

    Allow me to disagree on that one. First of all, a programmer should be able to program. Second, computer scientists don't solve problems, they hire techsupport people to cover 'm up while they're thinking of a workaround...

    So how can it be that someone who reads Penny Arcade ALSO likes User Friendly (IMO, one of the least funny comics in the known universe

    Nice, by stating that you consider UF to be the least funny comic you already invalidated yourself as a comic critic. You'd make a nice Troll though....

  8. Re:Celeron? on Portable Linux Box · · Score: 1

    I use a pretty cheap Coolermaster on it. Now if I were to get one of them Icebergs I might start some serious overclocking, but on the other hand, 800 Mhz seems like it's enough for the moment.

    That's twice today. Either you copy-paste this story too much or I'm spending too much time on this website...

  12. Some minor corrections: on Portable Linux Box · · Score: 2

    According to the article itself:
    -600-800Mhz Pentium® Celeron or Pentium® III Processor
    -64MB Ram upgradeable to 256MB
    And now for the part that made me spit my coffee over the monitor: Based on the all new Intel® i810 series chipset.

    Now I've got nothing against Intel, but the 810 just doesn't cut it like it should. Does anyone have a clue what they mean by 3D Accelerator Integrated Graphics Chipset? AFAIK an S3 Virge fits that description as well, so...

    Our final conclusion: something might have been out there, but it isn't right now.

    They've got nearly $13 billion in cash reserves.

    Well, in that case they can always revert to buying entire countries and forbidding their subjects to code anything non-M$.

  16. Re:Questions on Sony In Deal For Networked Arcade Games · · Score: 1

    Imagine an arcade with hundreds of big screen machines, together with hundreds of triggerhappy people pointing big guns at those screens and shooting each other. Hell, if you make enough of those arcades, we can solve wars this way. You just need a Mod so the soldiers from the opposite side were the correct uniform.

  21. Re:Real time? on Self-Healing Composites · · Score: 1

    You should play more Civilization. Copper leads to Phalanx leads to Colossus. Wheel leads to Chariots leads to cars. Face it, much of the luxuries we enjoy these days were primarily invented for military use, then adapted for use in civilian circumstances. In all honesty, do you really believe that computers would have been what they are today, if it weren't for the continuing military need to upgrade everything all the time?

  22. Re:Conference tracks for BSD on Apple to Include BSD in WWDC · · Score: 1

    Considering the hacks M$ has been suffering from recently, there's enough backdoors in Windows NT to cover the entire outside of the OS. If you have trouble understanding this, imagine a house floating in the air totally covered with holes big enough to crawl through if you're a 13 year old script kiddie.

    Also, this is limited use.

    If this allows you to put just that extra shot into that tank trying to blow your tank up, then you'd be very happy with it, especially if the "healing" process can be sped up a little.

    I think Train Tracks would be a poor application, at least for the long term.

    The application of these fibers would be obvious. Tanks and other kinds or mobile warfare devices. Personally, I vote for Mechs. Now all we need is a Cold Fusion plant to keep the things running.

    If the tech screws something up he/she's responsible, while normally you can still blame the customer for having done something wrong, or something along the lines of:" Oh, in that case your system was unstable already"...
