  1. Link to sun store (reseller link slashdotted) on Casemodding Enterprise Hardware · · Score: 2

    Sunfire 15k's (To the best of my knowledge there is no model called an E15k, E10k yes), list at closer to around 1.5 million. Granted no one in there right mind pays list for sun hardware thats why you have an account repersentive, in the case of Sun Fire 15k's you most likely have a team. Anyway that sun reseller is slashdotted so the sun store link is http://store.sun.com/ go to the high end servers.

  2. Re:Slashdotted? on Casemodding Enterprise Hardware · · Score: 3, Informative

    rm-r.net is a small isp. I doubt a small ISP is using 2Sunfire 15k's and a E10k. Most likely it is the isp of whoever did the case mods, at a different company. Only time will tell.

  3. Re:What? on Google's Search Results Degraded? · · Score: 2

    Well I was using PHPBB with gzip enabled and mozilla/netscape7

  4. Mistakes != legit points on KDE League .... Inc. No Longer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    KDE-League is a not-for-profit company, which is vastly different than a nonproit company. A not for profit company does not have to file the stated IRS form, and can only disclose it's activities if all members of the board conset, which they have not. This is all explained in Dre's response.

  5. Re:"Dead pages" complaint is real on Google's Search Results Degraded? · · Score: 1

    Also happens when you get a gzipped compressed stream from a server. Mozilla can't handel it and goes booooom. I hate the fact that IE can handel it. O well I traded off a slight performance gain in my PHP to make it accesiable to all.

  6. If (you == !(lawyer){ on Former DrinkOrDie Member Chris Tresco Answers · · Score: 1

    It has monetary value. It is theft weather or not its 1's or 0's or an actually copy of the software. Copyright Infringment would be selling the game as your own.

  7. Re:3D Games Suck! on 3D/2D switchable LCD monitor from Sharp · · Score: 1

    It did indeed have up and down aim. It was all in all a fun game though it did have the warping when looking up and down that others have mentioned.

  8. Sigh did you read the article on 37 Operating Systems, 1 PC · · Score: 1

    He uses multiple copies of XOSL, so that they are in a menu structure. XOSL takes mouse input as well.

  9. Re:Voodoo cards on The Last Days at 3dfx · · Score: 1

    Sure its more than they want now. Just like a computer the size of my living room is more than I want now. Then, at the time, if you wanted kick ass graphics that is what you wanted.

  10. Re:Voodoo cards on The Last Days at 3dfx · · Score: 1

    3 Cards is a Beowulf cluster? I had 5 PCI slots on my board at around that time, granted two of them were dual ISA/PCI. I Had a sound card and a modem. Granted 5 PCI slots then was most likely rare, though IIRC you could get a riser card to add PCI slots in.

  11. Turn off the master password: on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    In response to number six

    Edit -> Prefernces -> Privacy and Security -> Master Password -> Change Password

    Enter your current password in the current password box, and none in the new box. You know no longer will get prompted for a password.

  12. Re:Apply the "would I care if it happened to me" t on Directors Counter-Sue Movie Bowdlerizing Company · · Score: 1

    I get your point, but Stanley Kubrick probably feels like "Hey I'm dead and burried". Worthwhile point none the less.

  13. I forget on Blizzard Announces New Starcraft Game · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Is this not the 100,000,000,000 time someone has said that? It's not funny. Never has been. Stop karma whoring.

    As the AC points out nicely it's not a single point of view. Secondly, some of us can seperate art and politics. I can hate a company's tactics and yet still like what the produce. I am not a single state machine.

  14. Re:Nope, hydrophilic it is on Self-Cleaning Glass · · Score: 2

    I think you are mostly correct. However to maintain the hydrophilic properties of normal glass it would have to be kept perfectly clean. Something not easily done in ohhhh say house windows. So you increase it's hydrophilic properties, so the water sheets, so it cleans its self.

  15. Did you read the article? on Billionaire Boys Cup (America's Cup 2003) · · Score: 2

    Did you notice all the cool geeky stuff that goes into making the boats faster? Massive amounts of databases Alpha Super Computers, the buying up of all the wifi around Aukland. Sounds geeky to me.

    Also your defintiion of news for nerds may != mine despite us both being nerds. That's what makes the world grand correct?

  18. Re:In other news... on Attack of the Really Big Clones · · Score: 1

    Honestly get some new material. This ohhh my god its monday joke stuff was NEVER funny, and it's even less funny the 1,000,000,000 time I have heard it.

    I wish their was a better system than the MPAA. I wish large scale movies could be made independantly, but they can't. I choose not to like the MPAA or it's actions but I do see movies made artits that are forced to work at studios that are memembers of MPAA.

    The indy movie scene just is not as mature as the indie music scene. Why movies cost a hell of alot more the make well.

  19. Re:I sense a disturbance in the force... on Undersea Deposits of Frozen Methane Found · · Score: 1

    I see another lame joke created. If this would have been an average joe schmo web server you "would have sensed a thousand httpd's all cry out in pain and then suddenly stop" or some shit. Christ can we get some new material people?

  20. GNU Radio vs Motorola on Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What work has been done with the DoD. Can GNU Radio realistly be expected to compete with the likes of the Motorola DMR in the Defense sector?

  21. Re:A nice way to be remembered... on The Warriors Stood in the Shape of a Heart · · Score: 1

    Because you could have cut the plate off of him even if rigor mortis had already set in. Quite common for funeral parlors to undress and redress people after rigor mortis had set in. In this case you just would have needed some tin snips and a torch rather than a pair of Medical Shears.

  22. Re:So they only got permission to export parts. on First Commercial Moon Mission Approved · · Score: 1

    Kind of hard to go to the moon without those parts, because you can't build an Rocket or a landing craft without them. Other agencies may have approved it but you can bet export control would have been how they blocked them.

    Work on complex multinational contracts for a while then come back. I am done with you ingnorant troll.
