  1. Greatest Band EVER! on Captured! By Robots - A Musical/Mechanical Marvel? · · Score: 1

    I saw these guys about a year ago at Spider Babies in Dallas. Its quite impressive to see these guys live! Worth the cover if they ever come to your area.

  2. Re:My one big issue with the film (SPOILER?) on Minority Report · · Score: 1

    I related this to the overwhelming notion that I've gotten lately of cops being HUGE dick-heads. Cops hide behind bushes with a radar gun to catch you speeding rather than drive up and down the streets going the speed limit to prevent speeding. The system that they portray of catching rather than preventing is very realistic IMHO.

  3. Re:Wow - that is a big swap space! on $24.5 Million Linux Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    It's Linux, not HP-UX :)

  4. speedometer??? on Camera Meets Speedometer, Travel Across Country Together · · Score: 2, Informative

    wouldn't it be his odometer?

  5. Re:Who's to say Linux would be any different? on Not A Graceful Recovery For HP Customers · · Score: 1
    just another way of putting more cash into the company's greedy coffers.

    Hardly adding money to their coffers. HP is LOSING money in their PC division. They are trying anything and everything to keep that business afloat so they don't have to completely drop PCs. The entire PC market has almost no product differentiation anymore so companies that can shave off the most production cost win; the others fall by the wayside.
  6. An HP Icon! on Nano-sized Microchips? HP Says So. · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Thank the lord!

  7. Two Years From Now: on Cracking Crypto To Get Into College · · Score: 1

    A University in Canada had to expel 100 Computer Science juniors for breaking into the computer system and changing their grades.

  8. Re:I was such a TNG addict back in the day on Star Trek TNG DVDs · · Score: 1

    DS9:TNG::HGTV:Speed Vision

  9. Re:Clanger is right. on Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a pretty silly attitude. If one of them went away, you would just have to deal with the bad features of the other. This way you can pick and choose what you like.

  10. Re:This isn't a big suprise on HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus · · Score: 1

    Don't count on that! HP-UX runs on IA64, Tru64 does not!

  11. Still no HP icon???? come on guys! on HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'll even send one to you!

  12. Re:Company Icon on HP+Compaq Deal Could be Great for Linux · · Score: 1

    Yea, I'm not sure what kind of future MPE/iX has though, I know at some point PA-RISC will be gone and only IA64 will remain. Are there porting efforts to get MPE on IA?

  13. Company Icon on HP+Compaq Deal Could be Great for Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And you STILL don't have an HP icon. Actually, the official strategy from HP, at least before all of this merger business, is the "Three OS Strategy" Windows, HP-UX, Linux. HP-UX at some point is going to be binary compatible with Linux and be the HP Big Iron version of "Linux"

  14. Re:Any easy alternative on AMD To Hide MHz Rating From Consumers · · Score: 1

    You took the words right out of my mouth. If you are going to go for a model number scheme, you should not come up with a numbering scheme that can be confused with MHz. That is the misleading part.

  15. Re:Grandmother Test on Half Keyboard, Full Bore · · Score: 1

    But how many grandmothers type (ie not hunt and peck) You can't beat a regular keyboard for hunting and pecking because of the really large symbols on them, if you have 4 tiny symbols the hunting and pecking gets a lot harder. I think this is a great idea however and may be tempted to get one just to see how it works, ive been looking for a way to use my mouse and keyboard at the same time for a while now, this looks like its just the ticket.

    I don't know, take away linus's box and hand him a stack of punch-cards and I bet he'd come up with a new supported platform.

    HPUX in a museum? Hardly, it is one of only 3 operating systems to be running on IA64 currently and about the only real option for large boxes. (w2k and linux being the other two)
