  1. For controlling on Video Multiplexing on Large Screens? · · Score: 0

    I"m sure you could get one of those bad-ass programmable LCD remotes and set them up for multiple recievers.

  2. There are these great inventions... on Organizing Organic Chemical Reactions? · · Score: 1

    called pencil and paper. You take the paper, and you write down things ontot he paper. You can write letters, numbers, circles, squares, and pointed arrows (and you can lable them too). There you go, everything you need to draw a state diagram

  3. Hitatchi Deathstar on Hitachi's 500GB SATA-II Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Alright, so I'll lose 500GB of crap when the deathstar craps out

  4. Michael Bay... argh on Independence Day for Transformers Live Action · · Score: 1

    Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg?
    Makes me think that Optimus Prime will be more like Optimus Suck.

  5. Re:It's your duty on Why Do We Have to Use a Floppy to Flash BIOS? · · Score: 1
  6. In future news on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Umbrella corp has yet to comment on the events in Racoon city.

  7. I got a bad feeling about this on Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7 · · Score: 1
    "RSS will be integrated into the heart of Longhorn."
    Am I the only one that has a feeling that it will be a crappy product full of security holes that is impossible to get off the system, a la IE in Win 2k/XP?
  8. Microsoft related? on IETF Approves SPF and Sender-ID · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hmm... Microsoft announces hotmail will be restricted to user-ID and now it's been passed as an experimental phase. Coincedince? I think not.

  9. Re:More Jack Thompson from the transcript: on Feeding Frenzy Over Violent Game · · Score: 1

    Ahh video games, the right's scapegoat for everything wrong int his day and age.

  10. the first downloader on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 1

    I'd hate to be this guy. He downloads the file then BAM, he suddenly has to share it with everyone else who wants it until someone else finishes downloading it

  11. bust his ass on Copyright Law Protection for Employees? · · Score: 1

    and e-mail M$ about this... and watch yourself climb the ladder

  12. Re:And then... on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 1

    Except they'll still probably allow whitelisting for non-sender IDed mail... because MSN is like that.

  13. Re:Hmm on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 1

    heh, reminds me of my HS web design course. We had one project that we had to handcode which was incredibly simple (mostly just text, a title tag and a header tag really) then we were required to use adobe golive and deal with all the junkcode involved. Yech

  14. LED flashlight on Electronics Projects for 12-Year-Olds? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Have them make LED flashlights. It's a good oppertunity to introduce basic circuits, along with ohm's law. And if yoiu really want to get into it, you could do pot work for variable intensity.

  15. CPR? on Living Without a Pulse · · Score: 1

    What is one of these turbine pacemakers gets on the fritz and the person essentially gets a heart attack? Because it no longer has the chamber structure, one really couldn't do pumping. And similarly, if someone passes out, the conciestious civilan will check for a pulse, find nothing, and start pumping, which could end up breaking the turbine and putting the person in even more danger.

  16. Using what I know on How Would You Lock Down a Windows XP Machine? · · Score: 1

    There are probably better solutions, but from what I know, I would wipe down that single user of every app (minux one you want to use), make it so that the program is always on top (vitrite can do that), set it to run on start-up, and disallow the user from installing anything.

  17. Re:External on TV Tuners For The PC: Internal Or External · · Score: 2, Informative

    Low end Happauge suck, but the higher end TV tuners are best of them all.

  18. Tech schools on Higher Education for Mentally Handicapped? · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's the option of possibly using a technical school. They tend to be a little bit more hands on so you could probably find a certain path you could take which accomodates your needs.

    Another option would be finding a college that has a "Built your own majors" or whatever they're called. Plenty of schools have them, just check around. That way you could just work with your guidance counselor to create a course structure that shys away from what you have difficulty doing.

  19. Re:Cut 'n' Dried on The Flickering Mind · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, the teachers rarely have a clue how to even use them effectively.

    You couldn't have hit it any better. I'm a senior in HS, and I'm good friends with one of the higher ups in our technology department. The main problem is that teachers don't know how to integrate the computers in to learning. Specifically the English department, mostly because they are computer inept. The other reason is the technology department. I would bet if our tech department is like all the others, I would blame the entire lack of technology due to their counterproductiveness. They hold everything back and there's really only 1 good tech guy.

    My solution? Create a student committee or an open forum or something just to try to get ideas in the teacher's heads of what they can do. The sky may be the limit, but I'm sure they could at least get off the ground.

  20. Re:Have to ask....... on Study: Small Doses of Caffeine Best to Stay Awake · · Score: 1

    Simpler implementations

  21. Re:Language shouldn't matter! on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that had to do with class extensions and such, to make sure people knew how to call them. ANd yes, there were several O notation questions, on both multiple choice and free response.

  22. Re:Language shouldn't matter! on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 1

    This years AP physics isn't until Monday, so specify past AP physics tests. You never know what those crazy college board people will do next.

  23. Prank software on Pranks for April Fool's Day 2004? · · Score: 2, Informative

    friend showed me a site with a large variety of these. Either way, my computer lab teacher's probably gonna be pissed at me. http://www.rjlsoftware.com

  24. Programmer? on Playing Pen-and-Paper RPGs Online with Friends? · · Score: 1

    Wait... let me get this straight. You want some sort of program to help you with this? You're D&D geeks, why not just code your own?

  25. Woo firefox on What's Your Browser Start Page? · · Score: 1

    Another fireshark... spacecyote... etc. I love that plugin. I have /., drudgereport (it keeps me fair and balanced), yahoomail, GT, TZT, and WWS (last three being BBS). Oh yeah, and fark.
