  1. Time wasting on Why Robo-Calls Can't Be Stopped (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    If it didnâ(TM)t make me so angry I would spend more time wasting theirs. I think itâ(TM)s best for my stress is to hang up before saying anything.

    otoh, he proved the Bieberbach conjecture in 84 and has been working on this since. Perhaps this is why he posted it before it is formally published in a journal.

  6. Worked for me... on Is The Xbox The Cause Of The PC Gamer's Downfall? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sure I'm supporting Microsoft by buying an X-box, however, it means that I don't have to have a separate windows partition to play the few games that I do play.

    Hopefully the next round of pc-gaming will come about on a Non-MS Platform -grin-

  10. Re:Too bad... on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yeah, I've been a fan for the last year or so, while there was a lot of stuff that wasn't relevant to me, I learned a lot, and was exposed to things that I hadn't thought were relevant. Kind of nice to hear media slamming MS, or complaining about how hard an install was(away from slashdot anyways).
    Made for great background noise to studying. I'm hoping that some of these people get hired back - maybe another broken show soon??? Otherwise, hope someone fills the gap and we get a bit more geek tv.

    I know :) - But there has been a lot of attempts at buffer exploits via the url lately... it just happened to be handy. I believe this is the webdav exploit.

    I'm getting sick of seeing \xb1\x02 in my access log too - theres a thread over here with some ideas on how to do it - but haven't had the chance yet (exam week)

  14. Re:Doubles their sales!! on Xbox Price Drop Doubles Sales, Sony To Follow? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Does this mean that they have sold 20 last week as opposed to 10 the week before?



    Well - I bought one, a friend bought one and I saw 3 others sold while we were there, that was Monday.


    Fairly impressed - Hopefully it won't be replaced too quickly, but it beats having to keep a windows partition around to play games on.


    Unfortunately, I broke one of my rules on things not to do during exam week.

  15. Re:Memories? on Task Force Finds Blackout Was Preventable · · Score: 1

    In Ontario - our UPS went on, but we thought it was local. Then slowly heard about others that had the same problem - 100's of miles away. If I remember correctly it took an hour before I could find any news about the blackout.

    Finished work in time to go home and hunt for the non-existent flashlight and get dinner out of the fridge... Then we had an awesome barbecue with the stars shining just like a camping trip.

    We were hoping to schedule another one this year.....right

    We had these for awhile here, but they didn't seem to fly. If you have a debit card & lose it, no problem, there can be bigger issues with a smart-card.

    Rather than increase your electricity bill further, you could try a 370 emulator, I know there are commercial ones about, but a quick google revealed the one below.

    Yeah, the hercules is great, even better though is the Tur(n)key system where you can find an mvs system to run atop of the herc. They've done a pretty good job of packaging it, so the install will set up all the DASD and create an ipl volume for you.
