  1. no Quadro cards? on Massive Graphics Card Review · · Score: 1

    it would have been useful to see the Nvidia Quadro cards in this list, even if they sometimes share chractaeristics with the GeForce cards.

  2. sections of interview are hidden / commented on Security Focus Interviews Damien Miller · · Score: 1

    view source on the 2nd page of the interview.

  3. such a bad move on Graphics Coming to Google Ads · · Score: 1

    discreet html text advertising was google's biggest differentiator. if they care about their brand they should reconsider. this opens the doors for a competitor to out-simplify google.

  4. Re:Don't bother installing if... on Gaim 2.0.0beta1 Released · · Score: 1

    Gaim 2.0.0beta1 beta doesn't work with either GTK 2.8.6 or 2.8.7. Gaim 1.5 works with both.
    I'll have to stick with 1.5 since I'm also using GIMP.

  5. Re:Answers.. answers on Autodesk Acquires Alias · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Pixar made a bid for Alias?

  6. only 1024x768? need .. more .. pixels on IBM Tablet Announced · · Score: 1

    why are small 1280x1024 displays so hard to find?
    is there a shortage of high-res displays?

    IBM used to make a laptop with a 1600x1200 display. Now their largest screens seem to be 1400x1050.

    Some mainstream 15" HP laptops are also limited to 1024x768, which is ridiculous.

    With 128MB of video ram, why not provide a high-res display option?

  7. Re:Nice to see BIAS for endless Google crap. on Google Adds Movie Ratings, Times, Reviews · · Score: 3, Informative

    google maps has directions, and satellite views, and local search results..

  8. Re:Thanks, Pat on Gnome Removed From Slackware · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    try gentoo or debian. slackware is digging itself deeper into an irrelevant niche.

  9. Re:Here's my prediction on Yahoo buys Flickr · · Score: 1

    i agree. it's doubtful that flickr will be able to sustain the same level of creative development under the yahoo umbrella.

  10. a terrible idea on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 2, Insightful

    taxing by the mile favors the owners of inefficient cars. the gps devices can be blocked (and hybrid owners are more likely to know how to block them). this is a joke. it will never happen.

    if the state is worried about losing taxes on the hybrids, then why not raise the gas tax? Penalize the inefficient cars that cause more damage to the roads and environment instead of wasting billions on gps devices, tracking databases, and gas-station upgrades just to support inefficient gas-guzzlers.

  11. Re:Just as a side note on Intel Quietly Adopts AMD's x86-64 · · Score: 1

    gentoo also calls it amd64.

  12. emergence on The Stealth Desktop Part III · · Score: 1

    at linuxpackages.net the development of non-slackware packages for slackware seems to validate the gentoo philosophy of choice and flexibility.

  13. Re:where'd they film this? on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    the building is Diamond Ranch High School designed by Morphosis.

    sorry about the double post, but i just noticed your question.

  15. the set is Diamond Ranch High School on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    the building in the background is Diamond Ranch High School by Morphosis architects http://www.morphosis.net/.
    it shows up in lots of tv commercials.

  16. Re:Blackberry Enterprise Server for Exchange? on SUSE Openexchange Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Scalix is supposed to work with blackberries. never used it though.

  17. Re:Real life reviews / experiences would be helpfu on SUSE Openexchange Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Any real life experiences with Scalix? It looks good on paper.

  18. plugins for 64bit amd64 on New Alliance Hopes To Standardize Web Plug-Ins · · Score: 1

    we need plugins that can work with native 64bit browsers on amd64 (x86-64)

  19. Greg Lynn on Contour Crafting - Extrude-a-House · · Score: 1, Informative

    quoting from the article:
    "Greg Lynn, a leading architect from Venice, California, said. "I believe that aesthetically there's a great potential to make things that have never been seen before."

    Look at Lynn's site [Flash plugin required] to see examples of the kind of forms that might be possible with this process.

  20. Re:You probably like record players, too on Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 0

    yes, i read it that way too. he's saying that Apple breaking Bluetooth in 10.2.8 is criminal, or at least rotten, so he doesn't feel bad about downloading 10.3 illegally.

  21. Re:Welcome to democracy on RIAA Offers Amnesty to File Sharers · · Score: 0

    studio sessions is only one way of making music. there are other ways to conceive, compose, and record music.

    and who says musicians need to record their music at all to make a living? that model has only been around a short time. it might be time for a change.

    linear, pre recorded music may become passe. music might veolve into an unstable reactive medium like networked multi-player games, an experience that is not predetermined and cannot be packaged into a piece of plastic.

  22. Re:ISP May Drop You, But... on Can RIAA Lawsuits be Blocked by Routers? · · Score: 0

    File sharing is relatively trivial. What if someone use your wireless router for espionage, terrorist communications, or other more dangerous activities. Are you the one who goes to jail for the rest of your life? If accused, do you carry the burden of having to prove that you are not guilty of these things if someone else uses your account?

    Something similar happens when you get a red light photo ticket while driving someone else's car in Los Angeles. You receive a letter in the mail which gives you the option to check a box saying that you were not driving the car. But it also requires you to fill in the name of the person who was driving. Should you be forced to "tell" on this person? And what if you don't know who it is or can;t recognize their picture on the ticket?

    Technology is creating some strange accountability issues.

  23. Re:It's not a bug! on SGI Releases New Workstations · · Score: 0

    a bug is also the term for the small logo in the corner of a sheet of glass .. usually contains a manufacturer logo and some description of the glass.. whether it is tempered or not, etc. it doesn't look like a bug.. but if you order a sheet of glass with or without a bug, the salesperson will know what you are talking about.

  24. 7-zip on .ZIP Standard to Fragment? · · Score: 0

    i just started using 7-zip and love it. it makes zip files but also tar.gz and tar which is something that winzip cannot do.

  25. Re:Harddiskenal Fortitude on 3 Major HD Makers Recalling Drives? [UPDATED] · · Score: 0

    This is a subjective comment... but my limited experience has been that Western Digital drives fail much more often than any other drive. I've owned 2 WD SCSI drives in the last 3 years and they have both failed. All my SCSI and IDE Seagates, IBM's and Maxtors are ok. I've had one SCSI Quantum fail also.
