  1. Re:They can't project Leia yet on Star Wars-like Holograms · · Score: 1

    Only problem is the film is where the hologram comes from. You would effectively need a roll of film and a shutter for it to work.

  2. Re:Other machines on 885g Pentium Sub-Notebook · · Score: 1

    I can beat all of those with my Libretto 70ct -- 850g (1.88lb)

  3. "Basically, it's blade clustering, using Beowulf." on Transmeta Meets Blades · · Score: 1

    So, would that make it a.... Beowulf cluster?

  4. Isn't this... on Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please · · Score: 1

    ... exactly how the whole mess got started??

  5. Solar Wind? on Old Sierra Games Breathe Anew · · Score: 1

    What was that game from a long time ago where you could fly really fast on a seemingly endless path and have to jump over gaps and avoid other things while out somewhere in the universe with colorful backgrounds of stars and planets? I remember it being really fun but now I can't find it :-( Any help??

  6. Re:Sorry Cats are too intelligent on Cat Recognition Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid the problem here is not that the cat learned how to ring the doorbell, but rather your "friends" think it's funny to ring the doorbell and watch you become amazed at the cat's newfound "talent"

  7. Re:Interesting but... on NASA Still Trying to Verify Anti-Gravity Claims · · Score: 1

    Sort of like putting a sail on one end of a skateboard and a fan blowing air on it on the other end. It still isn't going anywhere.

    Anywhere except for slashdot...

  8. Re:Not good for asymmetrical connections? on Finally Real P2P With Brains · · Score: 1

    Well shit I fixed it! A simple firmware upgrade to my lniksys router was all it took. I read some forums before that and I guess it has something to do with the MTU of the broadband connection. Mine changed from 1472 (or something) to 1500 and I got an amazing difference! I just wish I had done that back when I had more bandwidth...

  9. Re:Not good for asymmetrical connections? on Finally Real P2P With Brains · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I have the same problem with my cable. I am happily downloading at 200KB/sec in some P2P program (used to be closer to 600KB/sec until @home went away) and then someone starts downloading from me and maxes out my upload. All of a sudden my download speed drops to like 40KB/sec, response times on web sites are painfully slow, and I end up cancelling the upload... Anybody know of a way to fix this?

  10. Re:Possible Solution on 40th Anniversary of Video Games · · Score: 1

    Ohhhh! I always wondered why they invented network games!

  11. What a nice guy... on Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case · · Score: 0, Troll

    For all of you who are getting a 404 error, it's because he is blocking any requests from people browsing with IE (and possibly Netscape..) I used Opera and it worked just fine... This guy is made a damn nice case but he sure takes that whole Microsoft sucks thing a little too far.

  12. Re:I'm firing up the burner on Microsoft Promotions Turn Up in USPS Offices · · Score: 1

    Yeah they seem to be working real hard....

  13. Sounds familiar on Hacking Cassini To Detect Gravity Waves · · Score: 1

    Didn't they do this awhile back? I remember a map of the gravitational pull on different parts of the earth...

  14. Re:Too many! on Review of AtheOS 0.3.7 · · Score: 1

    Jeez, I think you need to remove the stick from your ass next time you reply to a comment. My question was how many OS's out there that get posted to slashdot are actually used in real-world situations. I was not implying that they aren't useful, just wondering how many are actually used.

  15. Too many! on Review of AtheOS 0.3.7 · · Score: 0, Troll

    There are way too many OS's out there... How many are actually used for anything?

  16. Lower sense of security on Bush Wants an Unhackable Private Network · · Score: 1

    If they did this, you would think that if somebody obtained access to the network they would have an easier time getting around due to the false sense of security a private network brings.

  17. Re:This story is spam on Another Xbox Anatomy Lesson · · Score: 1

    And a lot of good that did... His server's slashdotted to hell!

  18. 9 days of DNS hell on Securing DNS From The Roots Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This Is something I was just looking at... very interesting, shows what techniques have been used to hijack domains.

  19. Re:Homogeniety is bad on Securing DNS From The Roots Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Traditionally, domain hijackings happen when attackers block access to a legitimate DNS server and replace it with their own. This DNS incident was different because this was a data attack rather than a hardware attack. By altering data in key DNS tables users were redirected just as successfully as implementing a rogue DNS server.

  20. I remember this on Monster European Environmental Satellite · · Score: 1

    A few weeks ago I was talking to one of the techies responsible for the database control and he said everything is stored on 1TB of solid state space. Apparantly part of the backup system was coded by (you guessed it) Micro$oft!

    Any bets on when this $2.3 billion satelite's computer system crashes, taking down guidance with it and sending the whole thing into a free fall to plummet down to earth? Hey, maybe it will hit Redmond... ;)

  21. Re:I wonder... on Monster European Environmental Satellite · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. I wonder how they get up there to switch the tapes out....

  22. Re:Railroads nearby? on Wanted - 45 Mile Wireless Broadband? · · Score: 1

    super-duper communications networks

    Yeah but it's a bitch converting packets into telegraph form...

  23. Recent photos leave scientists baffled... on Still More Evidence of Life of Mars · · Score: 1

    These recent photos taken of Mars show almost what looks like a civilization has formed on the planet. Scientists opposed to the idea of life on Mars claim that these building-like objects are merely rock formations. When asked about what looks like a major roadway, they declined comment.

  24. What are they doing with the antennas? on Metricom's Ricochet Network Will Go Dark · · Score: 1

    I have outside my window, mounted to a streetlight, a Ricochet antenna. I wonder if they will be leaving these, retrieving them, or letting the power companies eventually remove them... It would be kind of interesting to take one down and see if there is anything worth any money inside of them. What do you guys think?

  25. Re:Idea: IMAX camera on a Mars rover. on Canada Plans Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    I hope this isn't one of those line of sight 35 million mile 802.11b links that some hobbiest group is in control of...
