  1. Re:Only the paranoid survive... on Intel Roadmap · · Score: 1

    sharky has always had a severe intel bias, you can see it in the tests chosen to benchmark CPU's, you can see it in the wording with regards to intel or amd. It's a common topic of discussion on the site's message boards.

    sharky loves intel, tom loves Nvidia, and anand loves everybody...

  2. Re:It's flame bait because it's abusive AND wrong. on Giordano Bruno After 400 Years · · Score: 1

    Where still a degree or 2 colder than it was back when the vikings colonized greenland. Then it got colder and they couldn't adapt and all died out. a little global warming sounds like a good thing to me. Make canada and russia have vastly more usable farmland, more beaches where women can comfortably wear bikini's or less.

    another ice age would really suck balls though.

    ah
    the lovely vicmodem
    unplugging the handset to plug it into the modem
    my first upgrade was to a 300 baud Direct Connect modem that allowed me to autodial(pulse of course, by raising and lowering DTR quickly)
    I think the international flavor of the internet is detrimental to the kind of community you can get when everyone's in the same calling area

  7. Re:Inevitable on FBI Shuts Down Website · · Score: 1

    boy you are clueless aren't you?
    far more crimes are stopped by lawful use of guns in self defense then the numbers of accidental deaths. Cars cause a vastly larger number of deaths and injuries than all guns put together in america
    states where conecealed carried laws are enacted get see a significant drop in crime
    the ozzies banned the vast majority of guns and saw their crime rates soar afterwards
    englands heavy gun regulation means that home invasion burglaries have been on a constant rise

    but hey, don't let any facts interfere with you deeply held beliefs that guns are pure evil. Just swallow everything the corporate media feeds into your brain and be happy

  13. Re:Not surprising. on Broadband Net Access in the News - and in Canada · · Score: 1

    must be some nice crack your smoking there bub
    last I heard many european countries have drastically limited internet access thanks to their monopolistic government spawned phone companies and per-minute phone charges.

  14. Very happy with DISH on Ask Slashdot: The Dish · · Score: 1

    Best advantage that DISH has over DSS is the independants (ktla, kpix, wgn, a couple others) which means I get xena 13 different times each weekend and buffy in multiple timezones.
    Had no problems calling up and ordering east and west coast feeds for the big 4 networks. (and if they ever do come out to check my reception, I just need to take the case of the computer in the living room for plenty of snow :)
    Watching the news in LA or New York is a lot more interesting than the seattle news anyway. Getting east coast feeds is also nice for avoiding tape delays, and missing something usually doesn't matter cuz it's on again in 3 hours.

    Downsides: In heavy rain the picture can get kinda pixelated at times. DSS has more pay-per-view channels and sports coverage. Sometimes it's really tough to decide what to watch.

  15. Re:Not new, but something happenned fairly recentl on Overclockers "Stick it to the man" · · Score: 1

    actually
    my 386-16 ran for years in a 25 mhz m-board
    no fan
    no heatsink
    which is pretty equivelent to the 300-450 overclock.

    of course when I posted it to usenet back then a lot less people heard about it then would now which is what I think the main difference is.
