  1. Re:In this case political correctness KILLS on Starving Nation Turns Down Bioengineered Corn · · Score: 1

    Teach a man to fish, and he'll be sunk by a nuclear submarine.

  2. And the news is? on New Sony VAIO Laptop w/ 16.1" Screen · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reduced to posting advertisements now?

  3. Re:Hollywood Video and Blockbuster next? on Circuit City Phases Out VHS · · Score: 1

    More durable? I've rented 'ancient' VHS titles at video stores, and rarely been unable to view them, yet have returned several DVDs due to relatively minor imperfections that prevented me from playing them.

  4. Re:Grr! on What Free Cable? · · Score: 1

    I have the dubious pleasure of having two 2-way splitters and one 3-way splitter before my cable modem, but it works with 1.5Mb/256kb thru dslreports.com speed tests. It's been this way for nearly a year.

    I did have a problem with a splitter, though, that caused service interruption until I replaced it. Modem couldn't even synch up... Radio Shack to the rescue!

  5. Re:Slashdot just happened to miss this one.. on ATT Raises Prices for Cable Modem Owners · · Score: 1

    Did you read the article you linked to? It says that while some customers would see an increase, a far larger number of customers had a decrease in upload speeds.

    Should we make a fuss about this, too, then?

  6. Re:Air flow and Antec cases on Choosing a Good Case · · Score: 1
    I wonder whether it's wise to use a magnetised screwdriver near a computer case, as ocaddiction.com seems to suggest... seems like the same kind of problem as having permanent markers near a white-board - it's only a matter of time before someone uses the wrong tool for the job...

    Oh, and "buy a decent case" seems like pretty good advice to me - I certainly prefer my Antec over the several cheap-and-nasty cases I also have, even though it's not quiet - try here for components with less-noise-more-money...

  7. Re:BeOS? on UNIX Process Cryogenics? · · Score: 1

    >Frankly, I have no idea how to code something simlar to Win XP hibernate.
    >Shouldn't be that hard though.

    You have all the credentials for Vice-President of Estimating and Planning, then. Great post!

  8. And the winner is... on The Pentagon Discovers dd · · Score: 1

    Surely, this thread must win the award for the most redundant posts per hour?

  9. Re:Minor picky point on Linux.com to go Live Tonight · · Score: 1

    ... and for those South of the Equator, time-frames related to seasons (late Summer, early Winter, etc) are also a problem.
