  1. Do they *have* to stream? on Low Cost Webcast Optimizations? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is it vitally important that they have to stream the data? You cannot just distribute downloads and Coral Cache em? Cut my bandwidth for files from 120GB/mo to ~15GB/mo

  2. Re:It's a GAME!!! on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wait a minute . . .

    Verizon own the pipes so they can do what they want with it
    Blizzard owns the WoW servers but they . . . can't do what they want with it?

    Oh noes, tell me it isn't so Slashdot!!

    D&DO then?

  6. Ok I admit on Hopes Rise for RIM · · Score: 0

    I admit I've always wondered wtf the big deal about the BlackBerry was, browsed the site a bit and probably came to the wrong conclusion. From what I could tell, was that it was a really schpiffy looking PDA'ish type thing that has a nice enterprise-grade suite of integrated backend stuff like mail/etc?

    Is that even remotely close to what all the hype is about?

  7. Re:Very questionable claims! on 7 Myths About The Challenger Disaster · · Score: 1

    No, it *did* explode in the common definition, as in boom, major disassembly. It did not explode in one specific, technical way. There was no bag of TNT on board. There was the equivalent of many tons of TNT just a few feet away. Big diff? I don't think so.

    No, it Didn't. Did you RTFA? There was a fireball which had nothing to do with the destruction of the orbiter. The 'disassembly' was caused by the stresses involved with mach 2 flight and the orbiter turning in a direction it shouldn't of. It'd be like making a balsa wood airplane and sticking it out the window going 80.

  9. Re:Meaningless on iPod May Become Next Fair-Use Battleground · · Score: 5, Informative
    From TFA:
    A "brand new" 60-gigabyte video iPod loaded with 10,000 songs plus more than 50 movies and TV shows, including the three Matrix movies and the first four seasons of 24. In the listing, the seller says the buyer "must already own all of the music and DVDs. ... If not, they must delete them as soon as they receive it in the mail." The item sold for $551 on Monday.


    You were saying? Sure not *far above* market value, but still.

    Yea, but isn't Myth a PITA to get setup correctly? Much less getting linux drivers to work with some hardware.

    If only somebody could convince Sci-Fi to stop making a new 'oh no monster' craptastic movie each month, and instead maybe make a couple really good ones a year.

  13. Where's the geek? on Retrofitting an iPod into a Geiger Counter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He didn't really mod anything. He didn't have to take apart the remote or the iPod, all he did was put mounts for them both.

    Eh, slow news day.

  16. Re:What gives? on Is This Rembrandt a Real One? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not only that - complaining about this (and the related ** Beatles Beatles shenanigans) is a good way to keep yourself from getting mod points ever again.

    Ah, so that's what happened. I thought it was because I was a Republican . . . I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the two.

    Why should they have to comply?

    It's not M$ job to support 3rd party systems and applications. If people want to make them, then should have to do the work of figuring out how to operate with M$ systems.

    Back in March 2004 Microsoft was ordered to open up its Windows operating system by way of making documentation available that would assist work on interoperability with other systems, specifically

    Can they by law do that? That just seems fraked up to me. IMO M$ should have no obligation to release anything unless they wanted to.
