  1. Well - CRT's are technically still superior... on Laptops Outsell Desktops in Retail Stores · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree...

    As much as I like a good LCD that minimizes desk clutter and get you more space, it does not compare yet to a good CRT monitor in terms of color separation and refresh rates.

    I would not have noticed it unless I would have started fiddling with digital photography and video for fun...

  2. Reinventing the wheel on False Positives, Few Matches Plague 'No-Fly' List · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is unbelievable. Why reinvent the wheel, while there are at least 3 countries that have implemented similar restrictions and tracking systems succesfully for more than 10 years now (England, Israel, and Germany - that I know of).

    This sounds like the work of some consultants with no idea of what they are faced with and fresh out of collage where they have analyzed a couple of algorithms... sorry - I have had way too much of these running around the office lately

    If for once someone would just poke his head out and instead of trying to find a solution to an age old problem, look and see how others are handling it, we (taxpayers) would all be much more content (and safe...).

    Just my 2c.

  3. Better drivers? on Is Linksys Violating The GPL? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They have been using Linux for a long time on their routers/AP's.
    Anyone who have one must have noticed it.

    The one thing to say to their defence is that they are usually "driver friendly" with their PCMCIA WiFi cards.

    I just hope that now they will wake up, straighten up the mess, and start helping the community with supporting 802.11g in Linux for their NIC's.

  4. Re:Use SCO's Bandwidth on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 5, Funny
    Or for the quick leaching of 366Mb unattendently:
    #!/bin/bash

    for i in `seq 1 10`;
    do
    wget sco.com/images/pdf/education/SCO_AEP_posterfiles.z ip -O /dev/null &
    done

    Save as fsco.sh (or whatever...),
    chmod a+x fsco.sh
    and run
    ./fsco.sh
    .
    Kick back, and enjoy
  5. Re:cw.net was last updated in the 70th... on C&W Bails Out · · Score: 1

    Ohh, it's there all right.
    Too bad that the C&W webmaster can't figure out his serverside from his clientside!
    Now what am I supposed to think about the competency of these guys? (not that it has been ranked too high in my dictionary...)

  6. cw.net was last updated in the 70th... on C&W Bails Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    Check out their corporate site cw.net.
    The footer at the bottom says:

    Talk about staying on top of things...

  7. Re:Code Book, by Simon Singh on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    Mentioning Simon Singh, then definately do not miss his Fermat's Enigma (Simon Singh and John Lynch), which depicts the history of mathmatics in the same brilliant and gripping style of "The code book".

    Highly recommended especially for CS/EE/Math students/Grads that went through some advanced math!
