  3. Why oh Why? on CIA Starts Hi-Tech Venture Capital Firm · · Score: 1

    The NSA has it's own wafer fabs. Why can't the
    CIA have some for itself?

  4. It's like it... on Transmeta Awarded Another Patent · · Score: 1

    It executes instructions internal till it knows
    that a set of instructions will not fail.
    Then runs them for real.

    Even has internal memory for any memory writes
    the instructions may execute.

    Just wonder how it acts if the instructions do
    fail, just keep trying till the cows come home?

  6. Fast gets slower every few months on "Fastest PC in the World" Runs Athlon at 800MHz · · Score: 1

    What I used to think was fast is too slow now.

    Wait till they can chill a 1 gig Athlon.


    Say, remember that guy that used mineral oil

    lately? I think I lost the link to his page.

  8. What are the odds of panic? on Betting on Y2K Disasters · · Score: 2

    Roughly 2/3 of the world will hit midnight

    Ever notice how American cities have riots

  10. Re:Strangelove? Patton? on George C. Scott Dead at 71 · · Score: 1

    Dr. Strangelove shows how technology can be
    misused. Gen. Rippert changed the recall codes
    and sent his planes to bomb Russia. If he had
    kept the code secret, the world would have ended.

    Kind of scary to think that could have happened.

    Plus, it's a funny movie.

  11. Refused Academy Award on George C. Scott Dead at 71 · · Score: 1

    He won best actor for "Patton", didn't even
    come to the ceremony. That's cool.

    Just wonder how realistic that movie is?

    He played a cool con man in "The Flim Flam Man".

    But yeah, Dr. Strangelove is a fine movie.

  12. Cable Modem restrictions? on Cable vs. DSL, Explained · · Score: 1

    Is it true that I can't setup a web server on
    my PC if I use a cable modem? I would only let
    a few people use it.

    If it's connected 24/7, I want to be able to talk
    to my house from anywhere.

    This could open up lots of new uses for the PC.
    If we are away during the weekend, I'd like to
    be able to control my VCR from another town.
    Or anything else in the house.

  14. Re:Have they EVER made a profit? on Red Hat Releases 2nd Quarter Financials · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a scene from "Citizen Kane".

    He explains that he may lose a million next year

    In the last 4 years I've spent $45 on
    internet software. And that was a book called
    "Internet Programming". The included disk had
    everything I needed to get started.

    I've just downloaded everything I've needed since.
    So yeah, how are any of these companies making
    money?

  16. Xerox 820 on Zilog (re-)introduces the Z80 · · Score: 2

    I remeber the 820, almost bought one.
    It's 8 inch drive was compatable with an
    IBM key to disk machine, don't remember the

    key to disk machine and it worked. Just didn't
    have the cash to buy it at the time.

    My wife wanted a setup like that to replace
    her keypunch machine. We still have it.
    Maybe I should ebay the keypunch machine!
