  1. apokolips now on DNA So Dangerous It Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    Watch out. Darkseid's been looking for the anti-life equation for a looong time.

  2. Podzuma on Homemade iPod Hi-Fi mini · · Score: 1

    It's a better iPod boom-box. I built mine in an old guitar amp cabinet. podzuma plans

  3. Re:Does anything ever kill anything? on Will MacIntel Kill Apple Open Source Efforts? · · Score: 1

    No, video just turned the radio star into fat, balding, conservative men (and Howard Stern).

    Yes, do I get a cookie now?

  5. Re:Greed, greed, greed... on iTunes Might Lose Labels · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's why the iTunes and Apple stores have to go down whenever Stevie gives a keynote...

  6. Re:BSDs on The State of the Demon Address · · Score: 1

    Again, I shouldn't be complaining since things were probably covered in various mailing lists. Blame me if you feel so inclinded, but while I don't subscribe to the mailing lists, I'd sure would have appreciated to have the PHP port give a warning at make time, pointing to a URL giving the lowdown on what changed. You should always look in /usr/ports/UPGRADING before you run portupgrade...

  7. Re:Yeah, I'll pick you some NICE tomatoes ;-) on Internet Grocery Shopping Slowly Gaining Ground · · Score: 1

    I use Peapod on a fairly regular basis. The only complaint I've ever had with the fresh produce: a single kiwi fruit was bruised pretty badly once.

    You have a choice as to whether they use substitutes. I used to keep it on but lately I've been letting them substitute out of stock items. Peapod does pretty good at this as well; it's generally just a substitution of brand name (say Horizon vs Organic Valley milk), they've never sent a non-organic product in place of a organic one.

    The delivery fee for small orders ($75) is $9.95, but it drops to $4.95 over $100. They often run specials that cancel out the delivery fee and every delivery seems to include some freebie (bbq sauce, shampoo, whatever) and a copy of the WSJ. They deliver here 4 days out of the week, 2 morning runs and 2 evening runs.

    The only real complaint I have about it is that the online selection is much more limited than it is at the local Giant store that they send from. That said, the selection still isn't that bad.

    The 'clunk' is a clue that it's a hardware problem...

  9. Think about it from the OTHER direction on Online Rights And Real World Censorship? · · Score: 1

    Instead of installing a 'blocking' product, think about it the other way: don't allow access to non-approved sites. The only big thing here is creating a list of approved sites. Livingston (now Lucent) provides a list based off Yahooligans and some other stuff. You should be able to retrieve it from their ftp site somewhere.

  10. The only thing that matters on Microsoft's X-Box Specs Revealed · · Score: 2

    Hey, the only thing that makes or breaks a console is the games. Specs don't count for anything (look at 3DO or the Jaguar) it's all in the games.

  11. Re:Why Linux? on Learn About Political Campaigning on the Internet · · Score: 1

    Again, I'm in the know on this one and I was talking to Ben about switching to Apache many, many months ago. The reason for switching was simple: IIS/ASP couldn't keep up with the load. The decision to use Linux/PHP was mostly based on the fact that it could keep up with the load.

  12. Re:Why Linux? on Learn About Political Campaigning on the Internet · · Score: 1

    They used to run IIS along with ASP. Couldn't keep up with the load and around the turn of the year they switched (partially on my recommendation) to Apache/PHP.

    I'm no Gore man, but add two more point for Gore:

    6. Uses PHP
    7. Uses MySQL

  15. Nothing new... on QuickTime 4 Streaming Server to be Open Source? · · Score: 1

    The predecessor to this, the original QT Streaming stuff, required a unix-based reflector to be of any use at all. They provided a few binaries and also the source code. Pretty much the same thing here. Any client-side issues (such as no QT for Linux) should be resolved by the Java QT client.
    QT itself could never be open sourced (or at least not as it is and not easily) because of all the 3rd party codecs and such contained within.
