  1. Re:This isn't "censorship" on Academic Network Censorship? · · Score: 1

    I completely agree, but they could come up with some other solutions. For example, they could limit the bandwidth of each computer. That could slow down the ftp leechers too.

  2. Original Story on Examining Gravity Waves · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can also read the story here.

  3. end of world? on Toyota to Move to All Hybrid Vehicles By 2012 · · Score: 5, Funny

    2012? Isn't that the year the Mayan calendar ends?

    why were they cheating seti, a not for profit orginization, when they could be doing actual work
    For positive KARMA!
  5. Re:A lot will go unseen... on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they'll filter a lot. "Rare texts" are rare, because it's easy to use them agains Catholic Church. I think they'll stay "rare".

  6. Re:How to disable it in windows 2000 on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 1

    In fact you type "sc \\otherwindows start messenger"... (Without "net".)

    And probably get an "Access is denied." response.

  7. Re:How to disable it in windows 2000 on Windows/NetBIOS pop-up Spam: · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can start and stop services from the command line fast.

    open a cmd [ (leftwindows)r(/leftwindows) cmd (enter) ]

    Type "net stop messenger" without the quotes.

    You can start it back by typing "net start messenger".

    Say, you need to send a message to someone in your LAN, you open it, then close it back.

    In fact I am not very new. I know what slashdot effect is,read more link on the main page, which shows the comments did not work. That's not slashdot effect, as far as I know. :)

  10. team work on Designing Computer Animation Software? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the first thing you should do is getting/recruiting yourself some programmers and designers and having a good team.

  11. heh on The Wired Top Twenty Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Star Wars is #10 and Jurassic Park shit is #9. This is not fair.
    But what makes a truly great sci-fi flick isn't just popcorn appeal; it's how well a world is conceived, developed, and realized. Wired's team of serious science fiction fans - led by Josh Calder, who rates films in depth at Futuristmovies.com - determined our rankings by three calibrating factors: a film's power to enthrall and excite (Adrenaline), how well it presents a scenario for the future (Vision), and whether the science behind the fiction holds up (Precision). Disagree?

    Yes, i disagree. I think "Precision" is not that important. (Read: Bugs in matrix does not make it a bad movie. It's rated #3 though.)
    BTW, Sci-fi does not mean a "Vision" of future. Take Star Wars. It says "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away".
  12. A drawback on Pacebook Tablet PC · · Score: 3, Informative
    Perhaps the biggest limitation with the PaceBook actually comes in the form of software. The PaceBook ships with no handwriting recognition software, making text input when in tablet PC mode excruciating. PaceBlade suggests you use Microsoft Office XP for handwriting and voice dictation support but chose not to include the software package by default.
    This seems the only Bad Thing about it.
  13. this is it on Pacebook Tablet PC · · Score: 2

    This is what I call "the ultimate geek toy". Well, this is for the guys who think PDAs just are not powerful enough.

  14. As a citizen of Turkey.. on Turkey's New Far-Reaching Censorship Law · · Score: 1

    ... I must say that we're all shocked by this. This law will obviously change very soon. In the meantime, it will not be obeyed. (As expected)

  15. Patenting Life! on Using the USPTO Against Itself · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For the biotechnology industry, the humouse case is serious business. Without strong patent protections, the industry says, investors will not risk money to develop new products. And Rifkin and Newman aim to narrow the scope of what elements of life can be patented.

    I think with strong patent protections science can't develop well. Same in software development. If patent holders do not develop the product, no one can.

  16. In fact Software ARE material goods on Free Software at Risk Under Lemon law · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Computer programs are not material goods and cannot be dealt with in the same way consumer advocates wants the legislature to deal with cars, electric appliances and toys. Computer programs are developed incrementally, and the users are always used as dummies.

    In fact computer programs are very similar to material goods. (Not like in "Volkswagen Beetle vs Microsoft Windows", though.) Users of cars, electric appliances, cellulars, etc. are also used as dummies in a sense. Money is what counts. If you pay for something, you can ask something in return. (Read: Liability)

    I guess, companies like which _sell_ products or services like Mandrakesoft, Redhat and Microsoft will suffer a lot, whereas groups such as Debian will not.

  17. realnames on RealNames CEO Talks Back · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Realnames did not mean much to me, in fact I thought what they did was just lame and was just for money. It sucked. However, M$ is never fair in bu$ine$$, they must have _estimated_ that before.

    Btw, do you know that most of the pages in microsoft.com domain disappear and reappear in a different url? Most of the links to pages in MSDN got lost. (Even the pages found by Google.)

  18. heh.. on Gilmore On Hardware-Restricted Content · · Score: 0

    Intel and other honest manufacturers should stand fast and say, "We are not the world's policemen. We sell general purpose equipment and we make it as flexible as possible to attract the broadest range of customers.

    Intel is not "world's policeman" but it is working with "world's policemen".

    You can't hold the man who makes pencils responsible because a bookie used a pencil to write down a bet. And you can't demand that he design a pencil that can't be used to write down a bet."

    Even if you design such a pencil, an 13 years old hacker from Russia will do something and enable the pencil to do anything.

  19. Re:No surprising. on Einstein's 1,427-Page F.B.I. File · · Score: 1

    I'm sure FBI has files of other science genuines such as Nikola Tesla, etc. Any information?

  20. Links? on Matrox's New Three-Head Video Card · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can't read Russian (in link 1) and there're only pictures of three monitors in the second link. That does not mean anything.

  21. CS Lesson on Design Your Very Own Microprocessor · · Score: 0

    Every computer sciences (and engineering) major takes a course called something like "Microprocessors" or "Microcontrollers" and learns to design a microprocessor.

    This course usually has prerequisite courses such as "Logic Design", "Computer Organization" or "Computer Architecture". Without those, it must be hard for non-cs guys to build a microprocessor. However, most of cool programmers/coders are not scientists, so it may also be possible.

  22. Building a dildo from your screwdriver on Building An MP3 Jukebox From An Arcade Machine · · Score: -1, Troll

  23. Just for Mods on Id Software and Activision Wolfenstein Source · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The code is just for mods. It has been already done for Quake 3: Arena, etc.
