  1. Short range FM on Egypt Shuts Off All Internet Access · · Score: 0

    Hell make a small FM transmitter and tune for a unused freq on the radio and distribute them as repeaters or other mass dissemination use. Like clandestine radios for the French resistance. These days the design could be the size of a cell phone and transmit a fair distance.

  2. ssh and rdp to vitual linux system on Encrypt Your Smartphone — Or Else · · Score: 0

    Thats why you just use the smart phone for a ssh terminal or rdp to a virtual machine that is encrypted.

  3. Altering handedness and side of brain dominance. on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 0

    I always wondered if a lot of this is caused by sensory input to the visual cortex, and other senses, and game pads that try and force handedness and making the brain work in a way the person is not accustomed too due to side of brain dominance. It seems that maybe a game needs a way of setting it's self up according to a quick test at the beginning to calibrate the input system to the users way of operating instead of how the developers want it to work. There are things like asynchronous brain interfaces via the auditory inputs and asynchronous evolution theories which point to the game interface needs to adjust it's self to each person individually not the other way around. The world in 180 from the way it should work.

  4. Go source non binary on Advice On Teaching Linux To CS Freshmen? · · Score: 0

    Try a Linux from scratch or source distro against a binary distro to show how the system is integrated and the fact that a source distro can have gcc and glibc replaced and recompiled vs a binary distro which is a nightmare to wedge in or damn near impossible. You can show tool chains and from command line to gui use and compiler intricacies of various code bases and libraries. People should go from learning source code distros first then move on to binary ditros so they have a better understanding of package management and how their system can go haywire fast jacking with mixed up repositories.

  5. Natural Progression on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 0

    After you conqueror or dominate a people/industry it's usually good to placate the masses/consumer with some type of humanitarian aid.

  6. Re:Blah on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 0

    Because I'm right and your a sissy. You'd probably stand by and let someone rob you because someone said you had to take it and it is wrong to defend your self and take someones life in self defense. Just because it's a country and not some bully doesn't make it any different than kiking that bully's ass.

  7. Re:Blah on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 0

    Man what the heck are you talking about. Saddam was a bad guy and got what he deserved. He should of just gave up and ordered his troops to surrender along time before the war started. As for the so called international governments they are no better. They helped support his regime or were too intimidated to do something about Saddam or any of the other questionable governments around the world that need a reality check. The fact that it took 9/11 to get the ball rolling to clean up the planet is quite sad.

  8. Blah on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 0

    Who really cares that the reasons that where given to oust a horrendously evil dictator might have been exaggerated to rally the rest of the world to get rid of saddam. I know I don't, I was in the first gulf war and it's what should of been done the first time around.

  9. Skills on Fabian Pascal Reacts · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mr. Pascal seems to be quite the cunning-linguist.

  10. Re:SCO WEBSITE HACKED AND DEFACED on VIA K8T800 Chipset Preview - Dual Opteron in Action · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    ok daryl. nobody cares. why not post as a user you ac troll. heh

  11. MS the tool of a lost generation :) on Linux and the Smile.D Virus keeps us Smiling · · Score: 1

    For some reason I find that a computer is a tool not an appliance that is as easy to operate as a dishwasher. Thus When I first started learning computers in the early 80's on vax machines along with some of the early programming languages. I found unix to be much more of a tool than when microsoft started to dumb down the amount of knowledge required to use computers and started to define how it should be used and try to shut out other OS's from the market. Thus linux is a much better tool and OS than Windows due to windows usability that is predefined by microsoft. Linux is really not as hard as some portray it to be. It's just because microsoft has leveraged there interface to make it non conducive to use your brain and actually know what is going on. If that is what you want your OS to do then windows is for you. By the way the modern Linux distributions these days can acctually install and be online with email in 40 minutes or less with little user knowledge or interaction.

    I think it is free for non comercial use.
    Makes nice archives of documents.

  13. hummm can no one read on ACPI Forced On & Option Disabled in WinXP-Certified Motherboards · · Score: 1

    the xp docs say apm is not supported. so it has to only have acpi support.

  14. hrm but what is cheaper to license on WinInformant Says Windows More Secure Than Linux · · Score: 1

    Bugs aren't fun. But which is cheaper to license and maintain. You paid good money for windows software and should be recieving a secure product.
    While linux is free with free bug fixs or you can fix the bug yourself. In the end it's just cheaper to run linux.
