  1. Re:What I don't get... on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 1

    I like the fact that the back of my cell phone is flat. I have put my cell phone in backwards (buttons facing skin) and it gets kinda uncomfortable. Mind you, some of us just don't put our cell phones on a clip.

  2. Re:Rocket Racing! on Private Rocketplane Test A Success · · Score: 1

    Until rockets collide. Ack, that sounds like it could be the next PowerMan 5000 song :) (/joke)

    Actually I could. 16 virtual servers on say, 256 machines.. all chuggin' away. then ... COMPLETE silence... 3vi1

  4. 16 virtual servers? on IBM Launches p690 · · Score: 3, Funny
    I must admit this is kinda cool.. but can you run say, 16 copies of NT and have them all blue screen at once?(/joke)


    Just curious...

  5. If only they could do this work on computers.. on Black Death's Genome Cracked · · Score: 1
    Imagine if they did this type of stuff on software. Keep generating blue screens, develop an antibiotic software that will predict the behavior and fix it regardless of the software.

  6. Re:Not what copyright was for. on Copyright Claimed on Telephone Tones · · Score: 1

    Hey, that was vague enough to make me wonder what you were describing...

  7. Ok.. um... on Copyright Claimed on Telephone Tones · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Ok.. um.. but what about actual songs. Would we have duling copyrights? I'm sure you can play dulling tones while you are at it.

  8. Re:Backward compability. on Gnome 2.0 Alpha 1 Released · · Score: 1

    In terms of api, it usually means its there for backwards compatability and should not be used anymore.

  9. Re:It's not only the fuel on Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft == Anti-Terrorist Device? · · Score: 1
    That depends on how its used. On exposed piping, I would imagine it to start flaking and what not. If it can be used as some sort of middle layer between say, the core beams and a protective outter layer.

    I think the point of the 70th floor quote was it would collaps on the 70'th floor say vs something a little lower. Meaning to say that the metal structure deforming higher up would be less if a more fire retardant material was used for fireproofing.

    Mind you, I'm speculating. There is a reason he said this, which is not brought forth here to argue about.

  10. Re:Deserves? on New Financing And Fewer Staff @ SuSE · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the fact that it has good points makes it good, and deserve to survive? Hey, it could be a terrible distro and deserve to die :)

  11. Re:Sounds like a predator company to me on TiVo Infringes On Pause Patent · · Score: 1

    Well, the company is founded then, but is it possible for the company to have changed names or file the patent before being founded?

  12. Re:So I ask you this... on Acer Laptop W/Fingerprint Recognition System · · Score: 1

    How strong is the encrytion? ANd you dont' really have to "log on" to see an ntfs partition, there are already utils just to look at the partition regardless of the user.

  13. Re:So I ask you this... on Acer Laptop W/Fingerprint Recognition System · · Score: 2, Informative

  19. Re:Not really emulation on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 1

    Well,its really emulating a PPC within Linux for MacOS to run on. If you mean instruction translation, well, its sorta an emulation of a native machine within a machine. Bah, its gets too complex when using the enlish language since everything can mean everything else :)

  20. Of course, you know this is gonna lead... on New ICANN TLDs Are Live · · Score: 2

    Of course you knwo this is going to lead to a lot of broken code.. which verify's an email to have a 2-3 letter TLD.... lord knows i've beens subjected to it.

  21. You know the circle is complete on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When you emulate one OS, to another and then back again. In truth, any emulator should be able to provide enough services to run another emulator under it :)
