  1. Re:To bad most of it is Stupid Security. on Businesses Spend 20% of IT Budgets on Security · · Score: 1

    cross platform web based apps as a bottleneck for security I had never thought of. I am defenitely keeping it in mind for my next development project though!

  2. Non-Digital, you say, offers better sound?! on Gibson Guitars and Ethernet · · Score: 1, Interesting

    you know, I see the millions of people getting all huffy.. "analog is better... amps never succeeded digital... I like the fuzziness of my guitar"...

    heh... if you would re-read the article, you would see that this is merely a digital *audio connection*. You can still keep your analog amps and such. I'm sure they'll tack on a digital out to an analog amp. And besides, the world does exist outside of guitars. just because gibson came up with the idea dosen't mean it's only for guitars. I'd love to have a digital out on my synth... it'd cut down on tons of midi hassle, and improve the sound quality too!

    carrreful... careful careful careful!

    You cover your windows with lead
    Even keeping the pets outside
    Then you hear a moment too late this sound coming over the phone

    This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium

    Used to be different, now you're the same
    Yawn as your plane goes down in flames

  6. but SHOULD it??! on Mozilla 0.9.4 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    If it were up to the US government, perhaps this language support would be "nuked" from the code. after all, we *are* at war..... destroy! kill! maim!

  7. algorithms on Israeli AI System "Hal" And The Turing Test · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know how I could obtain such algorithms? I don't know about anyone else, but raising a AI child is an idle dream of mine.... I would love devoting 10 years of my life to raising a AI...

    (note, I'm *NOT* being sarcastic)...
    drop me an e-mail if you know of any freely availble program / algorithms for a baseline AI to train. heckfire @ ix.netcom.com

  8. Like the sound in home theatre systems? on The Sound of Safety? · · Score: 1

    After reading this article, and another linked to from a reader here, the sound is discribed as both a "chuusshh" and a sound that had a broad range of tones and pulses... similar to that of a waterfall.... which is extrodinarily easy to pinpoint. this makes me wonder... is this the same sound that some home theatre receivers use to test output levels? on my Pioneer VSX-09TX, which is a surround sound receiver, you have to configure the loudness and positioning of the various speakers you have hooked up, and so it outputs a test tone that sounds remarkably like the one being described....

  9. Re:God bless Chuck D on Public Enemy Solicits Net Artists To Remix Tracks · · Score: 1

    I agree.... heh... and props to dismemberment plan! jesus christ that'd kick ass.... I'd never stop messing with it.....

  10. Art and Code... on Where Is The Line Between Programmer And Artist? · · Score: 1

    As both an "artist" and a writer of code, I feel inclined to give my 2 cents... personally, I think that one can only be called an "artist" once it has turned the activity to a true art form. I was a potter for very many years, until I realized the flaws in my pottery, and made a huge jump in elegance and quality of pottery. About that time, my mindset changed a bit too. This is when I began considering myself an "artist" as opposed to merely a potter. I believe code-writing / game design is the same thing. One must turn the act of coding into an "art form", and write beautiful code before one can consider one's self an artist.......

  11. Student run IT depts. on Student-Run IT System Just Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    I go to a college in Atlanta, GA, USA... called Oglethorpe University.... it's partly student run... there is a older head admin to co-ordinate, and make those arbitrary decisions, as well as interact with suits.... but the students do all the gruntwork... pretty much all support, some server stuph, etc... whilst the head admin has control over all sensitive material... faculity passwords, sensitive file access... I dunno if this is more like "let's make the students feel like they have control when they are really just doing gruntwork" than a student run network, but I find it works nicely.... as the students smiling faces are the only ones the "support-ed" see.... *chuckle*....

  12. Re:What's so "funny?" on Violence's Niche In Cartoons · · Score: 1

    It's funny, because alot of it is so blantantly *wrong*.... The writer seems rather unknowning about the topic.......
