  1. Re:You have got to be kidding me.. on Linux DVD Player on a Bootable CD? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No one wants to play Tux Racer. Not any one person on this god forsaken planet.

    You just want to pretend to be cool, all the while sitting there thinking 'I wish I had a Nintendo, If I did, I might have some friends here with me.'

  2. Re:Development is News? on Linux 2.5.2 Kernel Released · · Score: 0

    Give it a few days and one of the other editors will repost the entire story, beginning the entire thing again.

  3. Re:Hardware support on Linux 2.5.2 Kernel Released · · Score: 0

    The iPod works fine under win32. You just need to know where to get the software.

  4. Choose Microsoft Word on Intelligent Resume Tools? · · Score: 0

    Word has some useful templates for creation of resumes(or curriculum vitae if you want to show off.)

  5. Might be similar on Connecting A Meade ETX-70AT Telescope To A PC? · · Score: 1

    This might not be the same thing you're after, but it should hopefully give you a head start.

  6. Re:Does anyone remember... on New Boxes For Captain Crunch · · Score: 2

    It wasn't Donkey Kong cereal, they were put out by different companies.

  7. Re:Not quite. on X Box To Be Dreamcast-Compatible - Updated · · Score: 1

    DoA was the first rip released, IIRC. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some problems with that one. I have seen other rips, and I don't remember any issues with them, other than a no textures problem with Crazy Taxi, but I seem to remember there were ways of 'padding' the disc to avoid this.

  8. Re:Keith Richards? on Scientists Name Dinosaur After Dire Straits Rocker · · Score: 1

    That's OK, it's refreshing to see someone being subtle for a change. You get +1 real world karma for that.

  9. Not the only liquid with this property on Drinking Water Reduces Brain Power? · · Score: 2

    Drinking beer at the wrong time also reduces brainpower. Mmmm, beer...

  10. 64bit = 32bit*2? on Itanium Preview And 32-bit Benchmarks · · Score: 1
    Early benchmarks with IA-64 code on Itanium systems have shown that the new architecture is certainly capable of blowing the P4 out of the water with half the clockspeed.
    Uh, shouldn't it be at least capable of blowing the P4 out of the water at a quarter of the clockspeed?
  11. Re:For those that don't know on Will The Real Planet Venus Please Stand Up? · · Score: 1

    That doesn't work. Have you registered with them before? If so, you might have a permanent cookie set to let you in.

  12. Re:What about on Cooling Hardware With Microfans · · Score: 1

    By the time 25% of the fans die, your chips will probably be outdated and ripe for replacement anyway.

  13. Re:File systems on What File System For Portable MP3 Player? · · Score: 1

    As you note yourself, most players at the moment seem to use flash memory or similar, not disk based. The exceptions I can think of just now are the 6Gb one that thinkgeek advertises on as a slash banner which must be disk based, and there are a couple of CDR based ones, but IIRC they have pretty bad production quality.

  14. Re:Ron Rivest ? on What's Wrong With Content Protection? · · Score: 1

    Yes, he is the same person. His homepage is here. And it's The Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm, but you were close.

  15. There is one, sort of on Whatever Happened To SNES Emulators For The Playstation? · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Final Fantasy Anthology is effectively an emulator and a couple of SNES roms. I suppose theoretically you could change the roms on the disc for your preferred roms, but I don't know how much of the SNES functionality is emulated, or if it is just enough to run the games on the disc.

  16. Re:Outlook Killer, Qu'est Que C'est on Aethera Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I did have a look at the site, but I thought I had read it required QT. I can't check though, since the server seems unwilling to respond.

  17. Outlook Killer, C'est Que C'est on Aethera Beta 1 Released · · Score: 3
    Regardless of which wins, the race to produce an Outlook-killer is on.
    OK, How is it an outlook killer if it isn't competing on the same platform?
  18. No Tea on Transparent Transistors? · · Score: 3

    Perhaps the Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses from the Guide can now become a reality.

  19. Re:Notice nothing of the sort in the UK on Microsoft Critiques Australian IT Policies · · Score: 1

    In this case, I thought MS owned part of Telewest, granting them control of a broadband media, although it is cable. I don't know about Australia, but I would suspect MS don't have any interests there, and are trying to get their foot in the door.

  20. Re:The One still fights ? on 'Matrix' Sequels In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    The one versus the two?
    Perhaps if Luke Goss was still attached as a.n.other agent, it might have been Smith & Jones vs. Neo. Perhaps this time Neo could be in a wheelchair with like Professor X/the Mekon?

  21. There was no way this wouldn't go through on FCC Approves AOL-Time Warner Merger · · Score: 5

    FCC: No, Mr. Case, we're afraid we can't allow this takeover/merger to go ahead. It would create a monopoly far reaching in it's insidiousness.

    AOL: Is that right Mr. Chairman? Do you remember when you signed up for AOL? Do you remember the groups and sites you visited on that account? We do. We have all the logs of your visits to bizzaro dwarf world & amputeens. Are you sure you won't let this go though?

    FCC: Errm, OK. Please don't tell my wife about this.

    AOL: Muuuahhhaaaa, haha haahahah hahahhaahahhahahah ahhahahahahh, etcetera, etcetera...

  22. O'Reilly's Open Sources on Are There Any Academic Works On Open Source? · · Score: 1

    is probably a useful nod in the right direction, if nothing else. It's here, and the full book is available online. I don't know about any restrictions of usage, though. You'll have to discover those yourself.

  23. Re:https?? on Interbase Backdoor, Secret for Six Years, Revealed in Source · · Score: 1

    No. I intended to say 'try it without the https protocol'. BTW, I think you mean port 443/80, it's amazing the difference one letter makes, eh?

  24. Re:https?? on Interbase Backdoor, Secret for Six Years, Revealed in Source · · Score: 1

    try it without the http protocol http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/247371.

    One question springs to mind though. How long has interbase been open source, and consequently, how long has it taken for this to be discovered?

  25. However, the high temperature of the drill bit on Drilling For Life On Mars · · Score: 1
    However, the high temperature of the drill bit is likely to destroy all carbon based life it would encounter....
    That's a bit alarmist. The inference from the article is that the drill would destroy anything it touched on the way down, but it would but straightforward to drop telemetry devices down the borehole to analyze the area surrounding it. I wouldn't think there are any martians hiding under the surface thinking 'I hope the humans don't find me' who are about to end up with a drill bit sticking through them.
    Anyway, don't we need this technology for when an asteroid comes hurtling towards the Earth?
