  1. Read my lips... on Reborn 1.0 And The State of Linux Audio · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Nice to see... No, Nice to hear that Linux audio is finally coming of age. Maybe now I can finally hear what people are saying on a DVD movie.

    On the other hand, thanks to crappy Linux sound, millions of people have learned to read lips and find out what people are really saying about them. Now they can hear the disses in surround sound - in addition to seeing the middle finger!

  3. Re: The only feasible method of transport... on Autonomous Robots' Desert Race · · Score: 1

    After a bit of thought (.0001 seconds) I conclude that the only way a robot could traverse the distance sucessfully, is if its mode of transportation was flight.

    If it took to the roads it would not last a minute, especially with those California drivers who go postal. and although the contest is not in any "offical" redneck part of the country, but it is common knowledge that rednecks can be found anywhere. So, I won't even fathom to guess what a redneck would do to one of these robots if they found one on the road. but I am willing to bet Jeff Foxworthy would know...

  4. Re: MagicEye in motion... on See 4-D Space With 3-D Glasses · · Score: 1

  5. Re:to quote Donkey... on MySQL 4 - Is it Stable? · · Score: 1

    I was liberally paraphrasing. I know Donkey said onions stink. MySQL does not stink it just lacks certain features.

    As far as the saying goes like stink, it means to go really fast.

    Let me explain, you and a friend are sitting opposite each other in a large warehouse about 500 ft apart, you smell an awful smell and then you hear the fart that your friend just cranked out his butt that caused the stench. The smell arrived faster than the sound waves that carried the sound of the fart to your ears! Hence, goes like stink!

    so there you have it...

  6. to quote Donkey... on MySQL 4 - Is it Stable? · · Score: 1

    This conversation happend centuries ago and continues on today apparently...

    Shrek: MySQL is like onions
    Donkey: Ya mean it has layers?
    Shrek: No Donkey! I mean it goes like stink! really fast but limited flavours
    Donkey: Not everyone likes onions, I think MySQL is like cake, lots of flavours and everyone likes to eat cake!
    Shrek: MySQL is not like cake, it is like an onion!
    Donkey: Well what about Postgres? Postgres is like a cake...
    Shrek: Yes Donkey, Postgres is like a cake, but MySQL is definitely an Onion...

  7. 10 reasons why we still need the Floppy on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 5, Funny

    3. How in the world would I restore my multiple zip disk backup that I did in the 80's when it was all the rage?

    4. When you want to upgrade your systems BIOS and it requires a Floppy to do it.

    5. What in the world would I do with the +1200 AOL floppy disks that I have collected?

    6. Making duplicate boot floppy for my dufus co-worker who, if I gave him my original, I would never see it again?

    7. Microsoft's certificate authority which tells you to use a Floppy disk to store the key on? (now that is just whack!)

    8. You take away the ability to recover your forgotten admin password easily!

  15. What an active discussion... on Rental Car Companies Watching By Satellite, Again · · Score: 1

    It probably has something to do with someone getting caught by a car rental company who clearly does not support the GPL concept.

    The GPL of car rental:

    1. Rent a car for free

    2. Take a test drive to anywhere you want to go.

    3. Make some modifications to it like you owned it as long as you document what you did and told everyone who will listen.

    4. you thought that water would lubricate better than oil so you drained the crankcase and filled it with water

    5. you thought that the tires would roll better with 200PSI of pressure in them

    6. might be a good idea to put some sugar in the gas tank for added oomph

    7. painted half of the car red and the other half chartruse because it would look really cool in your opinion

    8. put a new licence plate on it that says M$Sucks

  16. I don't get it... on Category 6 UTP Standard is (finally) Here · · Score: 1

    Morse code was invented eons ago and was one of the first communications methods which ran over copper (or maybe it was "hey Watson my pants are on fire!). We keep on trying to get faster and faster signals down a crappy medium. Why??? Fibre is a much better medium for transmitting data over much longer distances.

    I just wished the PC architecture would be able to keep up with the fibre transmission speeds. Copper in the PC vs fibre on the network and the bottleneck will always be the copper in the PC.
