  1. Isn't it Ironic on Hacking the iPod Firmware · · Score: 1, Redundant

    that it requires a PC instead of an Apple to hack the iPod?

  2. Hmmm wtf p2p!? on A Background of a 'Background Checker' · · Score: 1

    Abika the . . . P2P Search Engine!?

  3. Re:not bound by laws? eh? - satellites on A Background of a 'Background Checker' · · Score: 1

    Ooops it appears our rocket accidently collided with your satellit . . .

  4. Re:Uuh... on Robotic Science Network Watches Our Oceans · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think it just might be you that did not wach "The day after tomorrow" with its weather and saline bouys.

    I wish I *didn't* watch it . .. does that count? ;)

  5. Well on The Future of Student Films · · Score: 1

    The CG was good, it just wasn't *that* good, in the first one it was obvious, in the second one, it was a bit better until you noticed you never saw feet, so all the high-tech technology doesn't mean you'll always get a good movie.

  6. Safety on Make Your Own Cluster Balloon · · Score: 2, Informative

    From the Site:
    Latex balloon clusters have been flown as high as 20,000 feet; however, for a recreational flight, a maximum altitude of 3,000 - 5,000 feet is more common.

    From a BASE Jump site:
    The safety margin in a normal free fall exercise is 800 metres (~2600 feet), the minimum height at which a jumper may deploy the chute safely

    So basically if something farks up, your really farked.

  7. Re:Bad? No way. on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 1

    Easy fix, point the domain to lycos servers, have them DoS themselves.

  8. Re:MythTV and all that jazz on 1.6TB In a Shoebox, If You've Got the Money · · Score: 1

    Yes, look for a set-top box by Aminocom or Pace Micro combine this with either VLC or VLS streaming your shows over a fast ethernet connection and you could make your own 'channel'.

  9. Just as a side note on Intel Quietly Adopts AMD's x86-64 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Although LKML has appeared to agree on x86-64 the folks over at Debian appear to have gone the other way and name the arch amd64.

  10. Re:Fossils on the Bench on Federal Judge: Keystroke Logging Isn't Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Unplug the computer from the network, look, no interstate commerce! *throws that criterion out the window*

  11. Re:Take a lesson on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    Right click lan connection, click disable. Wow, no jiggling with cables.

  12. Re:Take a lesson on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, you login in Offline Mode, that's why it's there.

  13. Re:Take a lesson on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    netspeed matters not when loading steam, if it takes a long time for you to run Steam and or HL2 it is your computer's fault. At 12:20am on the 16th I was playing HL2, and I have dialup. All this FUD about Steam and HL2 is just that, FUD. Let's see any of these people complaining come up with anything close to the complexity and scope of the Steam CDN and have it work even half as good.

  14. Re:Avoiding to piss off their consumer base? on Valve Takes the Offensive on Warez Users? · · Score: 1

    If they don't alienate too many of their customers and go out of business before then.Or more likely, they'll get swallowed up by EA or Microsoft before they go under.

    Umm, Vavle was founded by ex-Microsoft employees, what makes you think that they'd want to go back?

  15. Re:Dear gods, its just an optical cable! on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1

    Dont blame Verizon then, you think they actually themselves are digging the wells? Blame it on stupid sub-contractors.

  16. Stupid News on Fl. County Halts FTTP Until Installation Is Safer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The only reason this is news is beacuse it involves FTTP. ANd it's not even Verizon's fault, it's the subcontractors.

  17. Re:Sorry, this is good.... on Students Tracked By RFID · · Score: 1

    That's not Federally mandated, knowing where the Students are is

  18. Re:What about SMP? on Intel's BTX Form Factor Launched Today · · Score: 1

    Rofl . . yea that was it. My bad. Sun == Hot, Intel == Hot, therin lies the confusion :)

  19. Re:That has to be... on The Music Man · · Score: 1

    or exxpresses excitement in the form of a question.

    Kinda like a rhetorical question. Usually when people are surprised and go WHAT. That is usually most written as What!?

  20. Re:What about SMP? on Intel's BTX Form Factor Launched Today · · Score: 1

    Actuall the Second CPU is put on some riser, I can't find the link off-hand but I remember see'ing it in one of the Previous BTX Stories.

  21. Re:That has to be... on The Music Man · · Score: 1

    .. the most confusing slashdotted page I've seen. The article page says, in it's entirety:
    "Problem!?"


    See: Interrobang.

  22. Re:Disconnect and motivation on The Music Man · · Score: 5, Funny

    "...a man who is claiming the title of 'King of the Pirates'...and his goal is to own a copy of every song ever recorded..."

    He can't have his cake and eat it too. He'll have to settle for "King of the Brainwashed Consumer Zombies" or "King of RIAA Lawsuits"

  23. Tinfoil Hat Time on Intel's BTX Form Factor Launched Today · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem seems to be the relative CPU and DIMM placement; the standard requires placement of DIMM sockets too far from the processor. With the Athlon 64's integrated memory controller, following the BTX spec becomes very difficult. Of course, BTX is Intel's spec, but it is also a proposed industry standard.

    Anybody else think Intel did this on purpose?

  24. Re:Think Ahead on Robot Helps NASA Refocus On Hubble · · Score: 1

    Maybe the hubble will find intelligent life which has the cure to world hunger and free alchohol :P

    $1.6B for Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters? Sounds like a good deal to me.

  25. "After Dark" Programming on ExtremeTech Reviews Akimbo Internet-Movie Box · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hot Damn it carries Naked News! Who cares about the other features!
