  1. Re:Unless it's got some weirdo wiring... on Reusing Laptop LCDs for DIY Projects? · · Score: 1

    Surely it wouldn't be much different than typical VGA or those digital monitor connections..... hopefully.

  2. Re:Nuclear testing in space? on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 1

    I thought the original poster was suggesting a test in LEO, not on the moon. The moon would be alright, but stupid.

  3. Re:Nuclear testing in space? on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 2

    That would do lots of damage due to EMF burst. It would knock out lots of satelites, and electronics even on the ground.

  4. Personally on Building A Computer From Scratch? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd build a mini computer with the functionallity of an 8080, but also some features to make certain functions use less cycles than a normal microprocessor. FPGA's are cool for this.

  5. Re:Larger than a Jumbo? on Zeppelins on Patrol? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That was because the Hindenburg was painted with rocket fuel. The same stuff that powers the shuttles SRB's.

  6. Re:Larger than a Jumbo? on Zeppelins on Patrol? · · Score: 2

    Boing, boing, boing. No sorry that a blimp. Zeppelins were solid, but in any case they don't move very fast, and don't carry lots of fuel.

  7. A Big Space program means lots of jobs on earth on Bill In U.S. House Plans Manned Mars Mission · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Creating jobs is always popular. A manned mission to mars would create millions of jobs on earth.

  8. Re:Boo! on Bill In U.S. House Plans Manned Mars Mission · · Score: 2

    There will always be problems here on Earth. We should go to Mars because we don't know we can do it. The science that can be done by real live people on a planet is far more than robots can do. And we can then have off site backup as well.

  9. Re:I'd like a tutorial on on Learning IPv6? · · Score: 2

    Well that's what I meant. dual-stack. Apparently the Kernel 2.4 IPv6 isn't very good, so you use the usagi one. Usagi Ipv6 has been merged in 2.5.x AFAIK. Thanks,

    David

  10. I'd like a tutorial on on Learning IPv6? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    turning your windows, mac and linux combination network from IPv4 to v6. I've seen a lot of articles that cover part of it, but I'd like a step by step on the whole process. Thanks,

  11. Re:Its pirates getting what they deserve on Gilmore On Hardware-Restricted Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is your problem with allowing people to use CD's/movies they legally own in the way they want to. It's far more convient to me to have all my CD's in Ogg format on my hard drive than have to switch cd's all day.

  12. Re:Port it to Linux!! on Zero-Copy TCP and UDP Output in NetBSD · · Score: 2

    Well I could say because BSD is dying, but I won't. It's a cool thing and worth porting.

  13. Port it to Linux!! on Zero-Copy TCP and UDP Output in NetBSD · · Score: 1, Troll

    When will this be ported to Linux? :-P

  14. Re:Scary on Science a Mystery to U.S. Citizens · · Score: 2

    The other reason is that on TV here we see lots of lots of little countries all over the place, where I get the impression that you only see other countries on CNN when really bad things happen. Am I correct?

  15. Random on Web Services Patented by IBM and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Everybody know RAND is a random number generator function.....

  16. Re:Concrete Canoe... on The Huntsville Concrete Rocket · · Score: 1

    Try going to the bottom of the page....

  17. Actually... on Cray's New Solid State Storage · · Score: 1

    if Cray wants to cement it's position in computing well into the future, they should transfer this technology to high-end PC's. There would be a huge market for it at the right price...

  18. Konqueror on JPEG2000 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    More importantly, does Konqueror support jpeg 2000? Thanks,

    :-P

  19. Re:Big deal. on GameBoy Web Server · · Score: 2

    Got a website about that? I'd like to see how you built it....

  20. Re:The only complaint I have about Debian on Debian 3.0 (Woody) May 1? · · Score: 2

    I dunno, I installed using dselect on Debian about 4 years ago when i was 14.... I didn't find it a problem. Mind you I only had 16 packages because I downloaded it on a 28.8

  21. Re:The problem with ogg on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 1

    You don't have to completely change over, why not just do all your new rips in ogg?

  22. Host yourself on Alternatives to Yahoo! Groups? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Get a DSL account, use dyndns to handle DNS, and then run apache on a Linux box. You should be able to hook together a good combo of Gallery, phpwebsite, etc to run your group.

  23. Re:Ah... Antigravatics on Build Your Own UFO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, I suppose, but what did you expect? Something totally different? If this is real it should fit in with other scientific principles. The major problem though even if you could create an "impulse" drive like in star trek is storing enough electricity in a spacecraft.

  24. JPEG 2000 on Introduction to Wavelets · · Score: 2

    Anyone know when it will be ready for use? Thanks,

    David

  25. Re:Screenshots on KDE 3.0RC3: Prepare to Fall in Love · · Score: 1

    There were a couple of features that MS copied from KDE 2 that are in Windows XP. Most notably the most commonly used apps bit on the start menu. Maybe that's what you're noticing.
