  1. Re:Upper limit was actually 4 megs, not 16 on A Review of the 128KB Macintosh · · Score: 1, Informative

    As I remember the 16MB was split into 4 4MB partitions. RAM, ROM?, I/O?, ??? but I could be wrong.

  2. I'm in that 12 percent on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    Even though I have DreckTV, I access the local channels with rabbit ears. This is only a couple of times a year when the bosque's on fire or for severe weather information.

  3. It's not an OS on Pure JavaScript Unix-Like Web Based OS · · Score: 1

    It's an abstraction layer.

  4. The real question on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Will Microsoft support Apple hardware?

  5. Re:the oil and car industry will band together on Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris · · Score: 1

    Actually this type of motor can produce full torque throughout its operating range.

  6. Obligatory "In Korea only old people...email" post on Email Addiction Runs Rampant · · Score: 1

    In Korea, only old people check their email five times a day.

  7. Dialup 56K access on Vonage Testing Mobile VoIP Service Routers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Next Vonage will offer 56K dialup through wifi.

  8. Re:Wow.... on Vonage Testing Mobile VoIP Service Routers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not take the money from the Vonage account and all the shit you need to buy to make it work and apply it to more cellphone minutes?

  9. Wow.... on Vonage Testing Mobile VoIP Service Routers · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can do this with my cellphone without a hotspot. Why do I need this?

  10. JRT Pascal on Free Pascal 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember it from the early '80s? He (James Robert Tyson) encouraged people to give away copies and documentation. Even at "free" it was overpriced. Absolutely horrible.

  11. This is wrong on Would You Submit Biometric Data to Join a Gym? · · Score: 1

    Real nerds don't join gyms.

  12. Wait a few months on Soldering For Non-Solderers? · · Score: 1

    Then you can buy a new one for $50.00...

  13. Re:Just what the world needs on Flying Cars Ready To Take Off · · Score: 1

    The aircraft has to have a station license for the radio transmitters. Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permits are still required by ICAO if you operate internationaly. Remember the ARROW acronym?

    A = Airworthiness Certificate
    R = Radiotelephone Operator Permit
    R = Radio Station License
    O = Operator Handbook
    W = Weight & Balance

  14. Re:melrose place? on Home Theatre PC Guide · · Score: 4, Funny

    Give the guy a break. He is, after all, Canadian.

    GNU Paris Hilton or Paris GNU Hilton?

  16. He switched to PPC on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 1

    as he says in the the article, not Mac.

  17. Yawn.... on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mac users view Windows like Fox news watchers view the world, this guy included. He just knows Windows boxes are horrible and Macs are God's gift to luddites because he read it in a Mac-oriented rag and it's true.

  18. In Korea..... on The 83-Year-Old Dead File Swapper · · Score: -1

    only old people swap songs.

    Well, somebody had to say it....

  19. The old reliable... on Revenge for the Foil Apartment? · · Score: 1

    Flaming bag of dog shit on the front porch?

  20. GM on iPod Most Popular Music Player on Microsoft Campus · · Score: 3, Interesting

    GM encourages their employees to ask for non-GM cars when renting so as to check out the competition. You steal ideas where you can find them.

  21. Re:New House? on Multi-Room Wireless Sound System? · · Score: 1

    Running coax and speaker cable through the house? That's so 1980's. All you need is network media players (Rio Receivers, connected DVD players, those Netgear boxes, etc). Hack a TiVo and you can export the recordings from there as well.

  22. An idea? on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    You could use a non-conductive substrate clad with a conductive metal. Then you tape off an electrical circuit path and use the method described in the article to remove the metal from the uncovered areas. Darn it, I think this would work!!!!

  23. Andy Rooney on How Not to Write FORTRAN in Any Language · · Score: 1

    Have you ever wondered why there is all this bad code? I have. First I blamed it on the dog since everyone knows the dog is the first to blame. But the dog died a few years ago so I can't blame it on him anymore. I needed something else. So I started blaming it on that other guy. You know the one I'm talking about. Him, your predecessor, the one who came before you. The guy you never knew but everyone talks about. Yeah, that guy..(insert more Andy Rooney blah-blah here)....I really miss that dog.

  24. Internet music? on Norwegian Student Ordered to Pay for Hyperlinks to Music · · Score: 1

    Not familiar with that genre'.

  25. Re:What a stupid question.... on No Pictures, Thanks · · Score: 1
