  1. NSFW Parent Link on Apple Adds New TV Shows To iTunes · · Score: 1

    Just incase you couldn't tell by context but, the link the parent is Not Safe For Work.

    Just a heads up for those who aren't network administrators :-)

  2. Re:WTF? on Google Office Still in the Wings? · · Score: 4, Funny
  3. Re:Way to go, Opera! on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 1

    Maybe not FireTorrent but, MozTorrent fits the bill.

  4. Off but On Topic on Obtaining Used LCD Parts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Where can one buy smaller LCD's (like 2-6 inches).

    My only caveat would be analog inputs (RCA) or possibly coaxial with a built in tuner.

    I want to make a super PIP display. Be able to watch 5-10 channels at the same time. Maybe one day a video switcher but, one can dream (and make more money)

  5. Re:Are Google et. al. screwed? on 'Online Poker' Googlebomb · · Score: 0



    Google needs to start altering their PR technology to begin patching some of the holes in their searches that are skewing their results towards useless. Sometimes searches only turn on SEO optimized pages. I want content..

  6. Difficult on Philadelphia Considering Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Muni-WiFi cannot work if they stick to current 802.11 technologies. WiFi was built for very small LAN deployments. As there are only 11 channels for 802.11, interference is going to pose a big problem with home users' own WiFi networks, as well as technologies that run in the 2.4 GHz band of the spectrum.

    If they choose to use a technology more suited for a WAN deployment, like the unproven WiMax, this is more of a political move than anything else. The government is trying to look like it is hip with technology and attract the tech-savvy crowd. However, such a deployment is not good for competition, as governments receive special tax-exempt status and would either take many companies out of the market completely, or lend a huge advantage who whomever the government contracts. And what happens when the technology / project goes belly up? In the normal market, companies go bankrupt. The government, however, will just throw (and waste) more money at it.

  7. Re:Also, on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1
    It's the law. It's also in the article.

    EPO, by the way, stands for Emergency Power Off and it's a national fire/electrical requirement for firefighters to be able to press these big red buttons near all exits that turn off all power in the entire data center

  20. Re:PHP on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    Well... The answer would be 'why the fuck would you do that anyhow?'

    So my car can "drive on the road" and "drive over grass" tell me why I can do 60mph on the highway safely but, I can't do it safely off road?

    Look, at this point your asking a language to figure out what some crazed programmer found as a "limitation" of a language.

    What are the laws and regulations (US I'm assuming) about doing your own low voltage (security, information, etc) wiring.

  24. Re:Google is faltering on How does Google do it? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be fair to say that the index probabaly isn't maxed out because the number of actual websites indexed wouldn't be the limiting factor?

    Wouldn't it be the keyword index?

    Image the slashdot front page? How many 'keywords' or 'whatevers' would you have to categorize and organize to maintain a searchable structure? 100? 1000?

    So if you have 100 rows in a DB relating to 1 page then the DB would have been maxed out a factor of 10^2 ago instead of now...

    Right?
