    Finally got through to a mirror that had the sums... so for anyone who's searching for them, here ya go:

    ...and what happens when a bullet hits the existing 20lb battery pack? Mmm, battery acid frosting.

  3. Re:Difference between a bit and a byte on Sprint Testing 2.4Mbs Wireless Cellphone · · Score: 1

    "I read the article. Where does the author imply megabyte?"

    It's all in the case. He kept writing MB instead of Mb. Big difference.

    You do know Opera doesn't support proxy authentication, right?

    It's not like I haven't tried everything possible to avoid using IE...

    Who said he worked in support?

  6. Re:Why even a Techie hates Clippy on The End Of The Paperclip · · Score: 1

    Regarding item #4, does anyone know of a way to turn off this "feature" in Internet Explorer? I can't find any way to disable it. I've posted to forums, searched Deja, asked MCTs, etc, with no luck. There's gotta be a way to turn off this thing. It's driving my frickin' nuts. Also, suggestions to use Netscape or Opera need not apply, as I can only get through my corporate proxy server with IE.

  7. I heard a similar story... on Return Of the Lost Server · · Score: 3

    I heard of a similar incident in asia where Novell was called in to upgrade a server to Netware 4.x from version 2.something. When they got there, no one knew where the thing was. Eventually they found it in the back of a closet covered with empty boxes. After looking at the console screen, they realized that it had been up without a reboot for over 7 years. Now that's a stable OS.

  8. Re:About the Machine on Return Of the Lost Server · · Score: 1

    Well, being that it was four years ago that it was sealed up, it probably would've been Netware 3.x or earlier. If it got sealed in when it was fairly new, it's possible that it would be 4.x. No idea on the hardware though.

  9. Re:what a second... on RGBS: Color Spaces For The New Millenium · · Score: 1

    You've only got one gun in your CRT monitor. It would have to add a couple of million colour phosphors (sp?) to your screen.

    Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. As I mentioned in another post above, witness this flat screen CRT television.

    Who's to say it couldn't be a flat CRT? They do exist you know...

    Exactly. Just like the only truely secure computer is one that's wiped clean, unplugged, dismantled, and smashed to bits.

  16. Re:ICQ vs. AIM? on AOL Opens ICQ? Well, Kinda. · · Score: 1

    Um... no it's not. Let's see if I can't spell it out for you:

    #47: Wasnt it a Swedish company?
    #63: Nope, it was Mirabilis and they're Israelian
    #85: that's what he said, dipshit.

    This is why you have to be careful when reading at a threshold of 1.

  17. Re:score(-1, Offtopic) on Hydrogen Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    First of all, a hardware forum like Anandtech would be a better place to ask than slashdot. Second, CPU clock speed is controlled by the motherboard via either jumpers or the bios. Windows has nothing to do with it.

  18. Re:Rails on Hydrogen Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    Most high speed rail lines use welded rails (with some expansion joints i'm sure). They're not really necessary in a normal speed line.

  22. Re:NOT funny, scary on Canada Considers Cellphone Jammers · · Score: 1

    Funny you should mention that. I work with a guy from Tanzania. It's a somewhat third-world nation that is starting to develop. There is an extremely limited land-line based phone system there, and now that people are starting to want phones, it's much cheaper to throw up a cell tower than to run wires all over the place. In short, yes, everyone just uses cell phones where some people come from.
