  1. Re:Digital Video Discs? on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 1

    Actually, its neither. According to the DVD consortium, it stands for NOTHING, since no one could decide if it was supposed to be Versatile or Video, so now DVD isn't an Acronym, its just three capital letters....

  2. In-bedded? on Requirements for Embedded Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    1) Get Linux Drunk

    2) Take Linux to my place

    3) Look lovingly into Linux's eyes and tell Linux its the only one for you

    4) Give linux a back massage.



    Bam, but be careful some people go to be with Linux and wake up next to FreeBSD.

  3. Re:Nothing new here on Telecommuters and Downtime? · · Score: 1

    Indeed. The worst customers are the "Businesses" on dialup where we offer cable modem, or just a bit better on our "lite" service which is an asotnishing $20 a month for ISDN level speeds. These people often claim to be losing thousands of dollars, wow, smart move on their part.

  4. I just hope on Bastard Operator from Hell II (Son of the Bastard) · · Score: 3, Funny

    All the copies are Xeroxed by hand by the PFY.

    Nothing was cooler than editing broadcast quality video on a NLE that cost less than $20,000 in 1995! I miss my toaster flyer :(

  8. What I loved about the net.. on Commercialization Of The Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In even the fairly recent "past" (1994?) was how any jow schmoe with some university webspace was on equal footing with a multinational. Not anymore. Granted, the net has a lot more USE now, I mean, its more than just a passion for tech oriented young men, but we've lost the edge we once had. I'm sure everyone knows this, and I will get modded redundant, but who cares. I want the old school URL's back. Shit like www.university.edu/physicsdep/387434/2w0843273/geo rge.html

  9. In A Word... on KT-Tech Challenges Nancy and MPEG-4 for Wireless Video · · Score: 0
    No.

  16. Rest In Peace on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 1

    Sprint ION, AT&T Wireless, and @home.

  17. Well You know on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 1

    This was a shock to everyone, @home has been lying to its customers (Cox, Comcast) so heh.

  18. Re:How much power are they using? on Dreamhack 2001 · · Score: 1

    Even QuakeCon used generators. No way you could run that many machines over your average buildings wiring.

  19. Re:An other one bites the dust. on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 2

    Keyboard = $10
    VGA Adapter = $10

    Being able to play Quake III on the Dreamcast at a lan party... Well, About $35.

  20. Re:Firewall? on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 2

    Yes indeed. For A good firewall, you need two interfaces.

    $$$$ = Hookers.

  22. Re:Great hardware for $50 on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 2

    I love the System, though I paid $200 for mine I believe, I think it was worth it. The fun I had playing Jet Set Radio was enough to justify the cost.

  23. Re:Forget the US Air Force, here comes the RIAA on Message from Kabul · · Score: 1

    Its hard to check your acronyms when you are Karma Whoring for F1rzt P0zt.

  24. Re:Ah, good old absolute zero... on Worlds First Plastic Magnets · · Score: 1

    I thought the very difintion of 0 kelvin was that it was absolute zero, the tempature at which all mostion is supposed cease. Maybe not totally achievable (rather 0.0000000001 kelvin or something) but still....

  25. Re:Nintendo has an uphill battle on Gamecube Hits US Early · · Score: 1

    NOT readable by regular DVD drive. At all. The way they were ripped was by using the GD-Rom drive in the DC and something called a coders cable, to send the data over the serial port.... Though once people go ethernet adapters, it was adapted to use that...
