  1. Re:Oh the posibilities.... on Mid-Air Messaging? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I hope they have some form of regulation, eg: if I live at 4742 epcot circle, and somebody leaves a message there saying "Your a bunch of nazi killers.", I wouldn't be too fond. What if I gave my kids one of these devices to play around and they came accross that?
    Would I be able to remove notes left on my land? (air?)
    GPS is x,y,z right? so if I was 1 foot off the ground (give or take a few meters) this wouldn't be affected by somebody flying a plane, so wouldn't I be in coverage of the "you were on my lawn to set this."
    but since theres a 3 meter spill rate, I guess I would have no such luck.

    Oh well, cool idea, I'd use it, bad spam posibilitys.

    as a compitant programmer (not speller) who has to learn turing in his gr 11 class, using that language to create applications is like sticking your penis in a toaster oven.

    So "almost all" Macs can boot from a CD? Great, too bad if you have the one that doesn't. And please do respond telling us all which CD-RW drive is cheaper. I kow there are none that can create a CD faster than you can write a floppy image.

    Have you seen 16X burners?
    They write pretty fast, infact I was burning a cd the other day, and on another computer writing a floppy disk. The cd was done before the floppy image was

    So "almost all" floppy drives can get 1.4mb written to it faster? Great, too bad if you have the disk image that doesn't fit on a floppy drive, and spending the same 1-4 minutes burning that image to a more flexible faster medium. And please do respond telling us all which floppy drive is faster. I kow there are none that can create a floppy faster than you can write a cd image (of the same size).

  19. Re:ATI AIW has no TV-out support under Linux on Bokks Linux Based AV Component · · Score: 1

    Make sure your TV out is on
    (it generaly always is, unless in windows, use that dos program to turn it on if you will)
    You just have to have the FB set to 800X resolution (standard maximum tv out, you know the drill)
    and it works

    this is not here say, I've done it on my friends computer.
    good stuff.
    mind you, the ATI capturing for the AGP models (Rage Theater) are a blast to get working. apparently they got an expirmental one, right now all I have is TV tuner support/OpenGL.

    hope this helps
