  1. Re:Gentoo is one of the best linux distribs, and h on Gentoo Linux Announces Gentoo Linux 2004.1 · · Score: 1

    I have tried and no, it does not work.

  2. Re:Mac mice on Microsoft Patents Timed Button Presses · · Score: 0

    I want to know how exactly you simulate a right-click on a Mac when the system has no concept of a right-click.

  3. Re:Dunno why no link on Russian Music Site Offering Legal Songs By The MB · · Score: 1

    Should that be HTTP 503? If the site is giving that error for HTTP 200, there is definitely a problem.

    Which is before the weapons of mass destruction will be found.

    Hmmm... I have no problem with my digital camera. Plug it in, run gtkam, copy pictures. In fact, I can only get the pictures on my Linux box since Kodak refuses to release drivers for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

  6. For Canadians on For Sale: Lycos.com · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For any Canadians out there, the only way I can figure out to view the lycos.com page is through the Google cache. It seems that you get redirected to lycos.ca otherwise.

  7. Re:Accidents happen on Notebooks Replace Textbooks in Texas · · Score: 1

    Textbook rental fees? Since when?

  8. Re:Books too Heavy, Laptops to Expensive on Notebooks Replace Textbooks in Texas · · Score: 1

    That makes the assumption that they actually have computers, doesn't it? Sounds a bit elitist to me.

  10. Re:Graphics on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 1

    My first computer was a TI-99/4A. I remember many hours spent playing Munchman and Q*Bert.

  11. Comparison chart on TI-84 Plus Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    To see how this new device compares to your current calculator, check out ti's comparison pdf chart.

    What if I don't have a TI calculator? My calculator is a pencil and paper, you insensitive clod!

  12. Re:Drysol is the answer on Summer Is Coming; Will Your Mousing Hand Survive? · · Score: 1

    I don't see anti-perpirants being phased out around here. In fact, it seems much more difficult than it used to be to find non-anti-perspirant deodorants. I don't use anti-perspirants (but I do use deodorant!) because they irritate my skin.

    IANAMD, but I believe that many anti-perspirants contain an aluminum compound; aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's and breast cancer. That may a bit of a stretch though. I'm not sure what people who wear tin-foil hats made of aluminum should do.

  13. Re:not a good idea on Summer Is Coming; Will Your Mousing Hand Survive? · · Score: 1

    Well, assuming that the function of heat is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem tells us that it will be just right at some point between too hot and too cold.

  14. Re:Why am I reminded of that scene... on OO.org Selects Its Own Sea Bird · · Score: 1

    Perfectly fine for Disney as well.

  15. Re:What if your sick? on Biometric Voice Recognition Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    And how would you get cash at the ATM if voice recognition doesn't work?

  16. Re:Great software, bad hardware on Postfix 2.1 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My 486 had a CPU fan. Then again, it didn't really need it since it ran for about 3 years after the fan died on it. On the other hand, the power supply only ran without a fan for about 6 months before it died. Ah, the glory days of computing.

    Amen, brother. Power to the people.

    So it's like shortwave radio?

  19. Re:Ya know... on Listen to Internet Radio over Wifi · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd still like to retrofit my house for wireless connectivity.

    I don't get it. Are your walls lined with lead or something that would hinder wireless connectivity? Go buy a router and a wireless NIC already. The future is now!

    Wow, the visual interface just wasn't enough so they went intravenous?

  21. Re:you bought it on UK Releases Global Warming Report · · Score: 1

    I had no idea. Naturally, the solution is to force the industry to honour their agreement. Best of luck.

  22. Woz on The Woz to Keynote at Next HOPE Conference · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like Woz has come out of hibernation again. Two stories in one day? Must be the spring weather or something.

    That is, of course, if your car can take that much. I know mine can't. Actually, I avoid the ethanol stuff altogether.

    And I saw Coolio last week on Beat the Geeks.
