  1. Re:battlebots = duh on The Destructobot For The Man With Everything · · Score: 1

    I was playing with the idea of a battle bot for the show, It would have been subtle - but most of the weponry is classed as illegal. Eg how do you 'poison' a robot - simple Coke injector... I had a adia for a black widow bot - webs , 'poison', and sting (shock) is all illegal damn! It would have been a walking bot too - *sigh* too bad

  2. Battlebots game simulation? on The Destructobot For The Man With Everything · · Score: 1

    It would be cool to go at it in virtual space and see if your favorite bot could win hte match it might have lost in real life(tm) Wait for it it will come.

  3. Is it the country or the corporations? on Sklyarov, Elcomsoft Plead Not Guilty · · Score: 1

    IMHO, it's the corporations that have too much power. They use their money as power and hire fleets of lawers to trick and confuse the judges. Take the Microsoft monopoly case for instance. They dragged out that case, and are still doing so. Diverting the issues away from the real problems at hand. (As someone mentioned the bootloader issues)

  4. Any Tux brand /root beer? on Linux Beer Wanderung · · Score: 1

  5. Thats my Idea heheh on Tivo Announces Dual Tuner Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Back on June 23 I proposed the same thing. Now I'm in the process of building it.

  6. Downloadable Movies on Tivo Announces Dual Tuner Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I'ts coming I'm sure. Personally I would love that. Then I could watch a movie/event I had done Pay-per-view on when I wanted to. It would skip the 'When do you want to watch it" syndrome. I talked to someone almost 5 years ago with this same idea. Cable companies would be able to use the bandwidth more effectively that way, and offer more movie choices per month.. Can you say Multicast?

  7. Re:Only for now on Tivo Announces Dual Tuner Upgrade · · Score: 1

    That is until the BIOS is hacked as well. Alternatly; the compressed kernel image on HD could be replaced with a modified one. Give it time it will happen

  8. Precursor to scripted animation movies? on The New Zelda · · Score: 1

    Maybe just maybe - if its simpler they could add a feature. eg. as you advance thought the levels you could see the movies bits rendered in real time, (like a replay) (can't... get... ign.. activating anti-blocker hack)

  9. Should be 'two week time SPAM' on Slashback: Memory, Constancy, Triumph · · Score: 1
    The CDs were released separately and each CD covers approximately a two week time span.

    Maybe they could moderate the junk out of it as well. I'd be curious to know just what the signal to noise ratio is.

  10. Re:CRT on Slashback: Memory, Constancy, Triumph · · Score: 1

    I now have the best of both worlds. A 21" KDS CRT for my gaming. It looks better and is brighter than my LCD. I Now also have NEC 15" LCD (paid $320 for it new - Whoo hoo!) the NEC even has a laptop like lock slot (the 1/4" one) I use the NEc for my system monitor, LAN parties, and when I travel. May not be the brightest, but it is crisp, quiet, and gave me back some desk space. (I'm even thinking of wall mounting it on a swing arm)

  11. Paper Floppy huh? on RIAA To Target CD-R · · Score: 1

    That what I did not remember about it was the size. It was great for the proggramming mag. and a easy waay for a publisher to provide source code. (without a disk)

  12. I saw something similar once. on RIAA To Target CD-R · · Score: 1
    It was a strip reader. Saw in some programming mags about 5 years ago. Idea was to print on paper, and scan with a special device. (3"x3"x12" in size) It was robust enough to survice copiing and faxing (If I remember right) It was a neat idea that just seemed to die.

    Imagine this thou, mp3 by fax, and use scanner to read.

  13. Re:How is this different from a wiretap? on Aussie ISP Scans Downloads For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    Beacause an ISP is not a law enforcement agency.

  14. The question is WHO to sue on Code Red Refunds? · · Score: 1

    Until the loser who wrote the virii is caught and tortured^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hprocecuted, this will not end. eg. end-user sues ISP, ISP sues (MS/CISCO) who in turn sues the l-uzer^H^H^H^H^H^HPlaintiff. Like anyone is going to get any money out of it.

  15. Re:Umm.. on Code Red Refunds? · · Score: 1

    What about all the users who have been infected from inside a gateway? eg. all the internal traffic. Won't help them at all. They would have to block it at the Megapop itself. (I am not a megapop expert) Besides, I just got connected on a new ISP and had 120 hits in one day. My Apache just laughed at them!

  16. The only problem with this is... on Code Red Refunds? · · Score: 1
    I want to be able to move that filtering up to the ISP's side. That way my bandwidth is not affected. (at least not down my DSL line) I have a 640/256 line, and I still see the packets down to my cisco.

    This both sucks and blows as it messes up my Q3, and UT scores. ;)

  17. Athlon CPU support should (EXPERIMENTAL) on What Happens To -AC (And Other) Kernel Mods? · · Score: 1

    I never had as much trouble with the 2.4.5-9 kernels & support for the Athlon CPU. Talk about buggy. I finally had to switch to PIII as CPU before I had a stable kernel again.

  18. I remember when... on Linux Win In Schools · · Score: 1
    We only had Apples in schools. The 'mainframe' conenctions was too sacred for us mere students to touch. I had to _pay_ for a compiler for my C64, and PC (when I got one). It would have been great to be able to copy not only your source code but the tools used to create it. This is what we can do in our schools now. BTW, how many times have you re-used or even looked at the code you wrote in high school?

    I think this is a great thing. I allows the student to learn even when not in school. Hurrahh! for Linux!

  19. Sign me up for BOFH 101 on Linux Win In Schools · · Score: 1

  20. Re:users, big money & perspective on NCSA To Build $53 Million, 13-Teraflop Facility · · Score: 1
    I do have a problem I am looking to solve with a mini-beowolf. Has to do with real-time music recognition. I've been in the process of setting up a 4 node beowolf (as cheaply as possible) with one controller pc.

    One could also calc PI now on a beowolf now. So yes, I would like to see a beowolf programming class in the college courses. Have is as intro, hardware setup, software setup, programming, advanced topics (weather).

  21. Flocking Masses on MS getting rid of SAMBA? · · Score: 1

    No, they don't have to be backward compatable - they just stop supporting old versions of Win. Then just watch how many CEo's will bail that dead pony just because it is 'no longer supported'. Never underestimate the stupidity of a CEO.

  22. Alternate sites for Qwest users on Your Qwest Leads To MSN · · Score: 1
    After much searching I found this: ISP's connected to Qwest.com

    Even ISP Reports (A DSL rating site) did not have a easy way to find all the ISP's connected to Qwest easily. So still have to visit them and do some more research *sigh*

  23. SO to avoid this for now... on Your Qwest Leads To MSN · · Score: 1

    Say I'm a mac user - Cool. they already think I'm a Windows user.

  24. All your (customer) bases are belonging to MS on Your Qwest Leads To MSN · · Score: 1

    Is this how they do buisness? If you don't choose us we'll buy out your ISP? Bah. And I, like the internet, will route around this problem by switching my ISP. Wonder how many others will follow?

  25. Was considering the option anyway... but... on Your Qwest Leads To MSN · · Score: 1

    Did you notice if your static ip + officeworks was any faster using the same speed line? The techs I've been able to talk too either don't know or can't say.
