  1. What kind of sockets will there take? on Dual-Core Pentium 4 Slated For 2Q 2005 · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't remember reading about anything new, but I can't see these working on cuttent chipsets.

    That reminds me of the discussion on that very topic in alt.drugs.psychedelics.

  3. OT: Re:Too Late on Flaw in Google's New Desktop Tool [Update: Fixed!] · · Score: 1

    This is how most kiddy porn busts happen. The first thing we did at the place I worked was a search for *.jpg, we never ceased to be amazed at the stuff that turned up.

  4. Cheep water cooling on Koolance Water Cooling Kit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Water cooling can be done on the cheep as well, under $50 for the whole setup.

    The hardest part is the water block, making one isn't all that easy. The way I did it is by taking a smaller then normal heat sink and surrounding it with plexiglass. It has holes for an in and out tube in it. Figuring a way to keep it on the cpu securely wasn't easy, I ended up using thermal epoxy.

    I got my radiator from a store that fixed air conditioners. I got the plexiglass from a surplus store. The pump from an aquarium store. Everything else from the hardware store.

  5. Re:Shut off google? on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1
    We've seen what google does in those cases: They provide a link to the DMCA complaint, like in this example.

    The link is from a the page generated when you search for "kazaa lite." As is required, the complaint contains the url they had to exclude from the search results. Its easy enough to copy and paste the URL from the DMCA notice.

  6. Re:Traffic Light LAN system on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Already done in Toronto, in spirit at least. All of the city lights and traffic sensors are hooked up to a central system, but with regular old wires. Its so they can analyise it, and 'calm traffic'.

  7. Re:Bad? No way. on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 1
    Not so clever are all the whiners and speculators who erroneously presume things like the imagened vulnerability of the Lycos tool to HTTP redirection.

    Maybe not HTTP redirection, but it is vulnerable to DNS redirection. If the DNS record for www.moretgage.info is changed then it will DoS whoever it points to. Lycos could be doing it by IP, but if they are then the spammer just needs to get a new IP for their address, something they are used to doing.

  8. Re:Simple. on FireFox as a Security Risk Compared to IE? · · Score: 1

    Thats kinda like chopping off a finger to cure a hang nail. It will cure the problem, but isn't exactily good for the patient. Complete overkill.

    A good way for the company to hike-up their bandwidth bill, and make things slower for users.

  9. Sulfur Microwave Lamps on Screw-in LED Floodlights · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Sulfur Microwave Lamps are the most efficient light source, in terms of visable, white light.

    The article is really old, there have been major improvements since then, but it gives you a good idea of the basic principals of operation.

    I want to try makeing one of these, just put some sulfur and argon, both easy to get, into a glass tube. Toss it into the microwave and see what happens.

  10. Re:Plextor on Professional CD-R and DVD-R Burners/Duplicators? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Kodak discs were made by Tayo Yuden IIRC. There are a few CD analysis programs which will tell you the OEM, and other useful information.

    Mitsui is my fave, their gold CDs are the best CD-R discs I've encountered.

    It was wrote in a, "quantity over quality", way. It was ment to be skimed over by some clerk. The post on /. was an afterthought.

    I definateily should have had a disclaimer, "Use this for ideas, not as a form.", attached to it.

    A google for "kazaa lite" shows that searches were omitted because of a DMCA complaint. In googles protest of of the takedown, they convientially provide a link to the takedown, which provides the addresses removed. Gotta love goodle for that one.

    True, it was a lasy arugement.

    he point i was tryign to suppport is that from a stictly econymical perspective poor people are more likemy to join the army.

    Nobody 'forces' you to get a job, but try to find someone who does not feel they need one.

  16. Re:Just use the poor on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    In an econymic sence, yes, people are forced to enlist. If you are young, have a spouse and childern to support. You can only find joe jobs in your area with no medical coverage for you, and your loved ones.
    Then one day a recuter/sales man comes up to you in your poor neiborhood. He is driving a nice car and yearing dreassy clothes. He invites you in for a meeting to discuss what the army can do for you, he even offers to drive you, buy you lunch, and find someone for your kids while your there.

    When you get there he will tell you that you only have to spend 5 years with the army. They will give you full medicle coverage, and you will get a great job in the army like fixing radios, working in a ware house, some desk job, driving a tank around.

    It sounds great, so you sign up. Two monthes later your in an un armourd humvee getting shot at, and havn't see your family since. You've been told that because there is a war on thz you will have to stay around longer then 5 years, and won't be going home for 2 more years.

  17. My letter on Canada May Ratify WIPO Copyright Treaty · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sure you've revieved many emails about this so I'll keep it short.

    I am against the WIPO. It will raise the cost of doing business for IT
    companys.

    It will curtial free speach; If I were to send an anonymous takedown
    letter to an isp claiming that a site is violating my copyright, they
    would take it down without a question. The ISP would have no other
    econimically viable choice. This tatic has been abused in countrys
    with simular laws.

    This law only placets the CIRA. We have given them enough concessions
    already, in the form of recordable media leavys. These leavys hurt
    independant artists, like myself, who want to distrubute their works
    on CD. The CDs cost less then the leavy they are stuck with.

  18. Re:In that case... on Every 5th Call At Dell Is Spyware-Related · · Score: 1

    Giving spyware servers bad data to poison their databases is a cool idea I haven't heard of before. I'm aware of a set of scripts that someone made to fill in fake form data on spammers websites. This is simular, but I doubt both are legal.

    Not that it would stop me, anyone know of something like this out there?

  19. Instructions for makeing something like this. on Laser Injures Delta Pilot's Eye · · Score: 1
    I've got a nice big HeNe laser and like most people I wanted to see if I could get it to refelect off clouds/aircraft. The hard part when it comes to doing this is that you cannot see the beam that far away so you need a telescope or powerful binoculars. This works fine for seeing the beam but since it goes very far with the slightest movement you have to coordinate the beam and your viewer.

    The way I did this was to have the laser and binoculars on a board with a tripod mount. Its hard to get the laser to go into it at an exact angle, you will need to test it with an object in the distance. Now all you need to do it put the binocalars on a tripod and look into the unused side, wherever you look the laser will be. The binoculars will make the beam bigger but you can adjust them so that it won't spread out too much.

  20. Huh? on Freescale Debuts Faster, Cooler G4 · · Score: 1

    How can you have compatable pinout on a dual core cpu? Are all the motherboards dual cpu compatable? I simply cannot see how something like that would be possable unless it requires new hardware, but then its not exactily a G4 anymore, at least in my mind.

  21. You can if your in space on Swimming As Easy In Syrup As In Water · · Score: 1

    I don't recall seeing it done, they usually just grab onto something an pull. I do not see why it wouldn't work.

    You would be able to invent new 'swimming' methods since you can be fully can breath what your swimming in. Imagine looking up (in the direction your going) taking a breath then looking down (away from where your going) and blowing it out. The hard part about it is that you can't use your big muscles effectivily as they are better at moveing slowily with a lot of torque, not quickily with little torque.

    Well its the fact that its only 150 miles away from Chechnya by boat. I'm sure they could get their hands on it if they wanted to. They would have to have something to do with if afterwards though, I would think that if they went through the effort they would like something better then a dirty bomb.

    Oops I got Polonium & Plutonium mixed up. There was a big (internal) scare post war when the high ranking officals (includeing the president) wanted to know how many nukes they had. IIRC they had 10 at the time but none of them were working, they had expired. Since Polonium is such a great nutron source it tends to run out of them rather quickly.

    Its non-functioning, nukes have a shelf life of ~5 years before the plutonium turns into another isotope.
