  1. Re:dualies on Intel 800 MHz FSB Processor Family Review · · Score: 1
    I'm not sure why the xeons don't have 800mhz fbs yet. They have just went up to 533fbs from 400fbs. Some of your facts are incorrect. Your math is wrong in caculating fbs. It is 133fbs quad pumped to 533 or (133*4=533). Intel decided to skip 667fbs and just go for the 800fbs. Though SIS did make a chipset that supported the 667fbs.

    If your still here can you clarify:
    "Note I am talking about the dual processor xeon chips not the "made of pure gold" 4 processor xeon mp chips"
  2. Why fuel cells are expensive. on Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Most fuel cells that will be used in cars will be PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells. The problem with PEM fuel cells is that it requires a platinum catalyst to remove the electron from the hydrogen aton. As we know platinum is one of the most expensive elements on earth. The key is to find a catalyst that is cheaper and just as noble as platinum. There are other hydrogen fuel cells out there, but they usually operate at high temperatures (the main advantage of PEM). It is not like you want to wait 5 minutes for your car to warm up before you leave.

  3. Re:Not that new.. on Cornell Implementing Bandwidth Charges · · Score: 1

    That is the policy and it is enforced, but there is a way to circumvent it. What I do is change the mac address and dhcp becomes your friend and you are able to get a new ip and have the lovely uncaped bandwidth. Internet 2 to the dorms on the other hand is uncaped. If you can find another person with internet 2 capability, that is some sweet sailing in file sharing.

  4. Re:broadq Qcast Tuner for PS2 on Xbox Media Player Contest · · Score: 1

    Your forgeting that you need a networked computer with a shared hard drive to actually send the data to the ps2. Thus the xbox is a better solution.

  5. Re:is this like DivX players from the 90's? on Tom's Hardware Reviews First Player for DivX Video · · Score: 1

    A.K.A. NO.

  6. Re:I'm confused... on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 1

    "I would hate to pay $6500 and be slighted 370 mhz of performance..."

    I would feel bad now and I see your point, but in 1990, it would be worth every cent. Heck even in 1995 it would be worth every cent.

  7. War on 85 Big Ideas that Changed the World · · Score: 1

    It it just me or does it seem that all of the cool/major inovations came about the time of major wars. Nuclear power, transistors, early computers, etc. Seems like war drives our technological advancements. How sad is that?

  8. Re:I propose a Corollary... on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 1

    Star Trek 6 was a great movie. I will venture to say it's almost as good as The Wrath of Khan.

  9. DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE on Star Trek Nemesis Preview Online · · Score: 0

    Doesn't work anymore.

  10. Vanderbilt University Has One Too on One Glimpse Of The Wireless Future · · Score: 1

    Wireless networks are nice espically at Vanderbilt University. Though the theoretical bandwidth is less, in pratice wireless is faster and has less congestion than the wired networks. On top of that you can request for a new ip after you fill up the 1gig download limit (512meg up). From what I understand our setup is just like Dartmouth with similar cisco routers and access points in many of the buildings.

  11. Jan 26, 2001 EARTHQUAKE KILLS 13000 on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    STATED IN ANOTHER POST.

  12. Re:Asia-pacific to beat Europe and US on numbers on Europe Net Users Now Outnumber US/Canada · · Score: 1

    Asia-pacific is quite large population wise. Asia itself has around 3 bilion people, while North America and Europe have less than a billion. Granted people in Europe and North America have more money in general, but now internet is becoming so cheap that it is pennies per hour (sadly only dial up at best).

  13. Re:THANK YOU FOR MAKING SHIT UP on Case Modders - Think Small · · Score: 1

    My fault. Sorry. Maybe think about laying down the coffee or you choice of highly energy drink.

  14. Re:Duplicate story on Case Modders - Think Small · · Score: 1

    It is not a duplicate for once. This is a mini sparc processor motherboard, while the other one is a p3.

    Why are we so quick to blame?

  15. Re:Is the cost even worth it? on XBox Linux HOWTOs · · Score: 1

    It would be in every way better except for the graphics capabilites. The xbox's gpu is an nvidia hybrid that is more powerful than the gefore 3, with extra stuff, but is weaker than the geforce 4.

  16. Re:Flash or SVG, 3D versions on Looking At The Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    How about a forth dimension? It would be cool to see the evolution of the kernel and what is being worked on for the future.

  17. Mirror before it gets slashdotted on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 1

    I don't run any servers so I can't provide the bandwidth.

  18. Interesting on Holy Grail of Remote Controls · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I find it interesting how quickly people posted deja vu.

  19. Time Cop on Spielberg on Privacy, Minority Report · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is this movie eerily like Time Cop with Van Dam?

  20. Microsoft is Advertising on Slashdot on FCC Reinstates CALEA Surveillance Capabilities · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know this off topic but I can hardly contain myself. Why is Microsoft advertising on Slashdot? By Slashdot's unwritten code, Microsoft stands for ALMOST everything that Slashdot doesn't want to be. Is Slashdot selling out?

  21. does this mean... on nVidia/AMD Merger Announced · · Score: 1

    That i get a 5+ on mod points.

  22. Re:No such thing as a cheap expert. on Microsoft To Start Running Anti-Unix Ads · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but I like my it profesionals to have degrees from overnight community colleges. I feel so secure knowing that my help can help.

  23. Re:AMD the new religion!!!! on AMD Roadmap for Coming Year and Beyond · · Score: 1

    M(multi)P is used for 2 or more processor units while X(microsoft xp)P are used for single processor units.

  24. AOL for free on The America Online Protocol Revealed · · Score: 1

    I know this is off topic, but for those aol users reading out there, for free aol access for a few months or so, threaten to change service. Call them up and say I don't like your service and I'm changing to a better isp. Just like that they will offer you either a reduced or straight up free access for a while. I did this and got my offer, but I had to decline because I got @home(which I don't like now since their service has slown down dramatically and they are more focused on expanding than giving good service).

  25. Electrolysis on Consumer Hydrogen Fuel Cells · · Score: 1

    I did my science fair project on this. The best way to fuel it now is to creat an electrolysis attatchment that can get its power from solar pannels or another external source. In my experiment my effecience was (amount of energy put in over energy produced) 80%. The only problem is the electrods for decomposing water. Platinum is the best but over time it wares away and is very expensive. I used graphite. Graphite is great but after several hours of operation it starts to disentergrates. Thus less efficient. But no matter what they do they need to make some type of suppliment to create their own hydrogen.
