  1. I can't read the article... on A Newbie's Guide To A Lo-Fat Linux Desktop · · Score: -1

    ... but WindowMaker seems like a good lightweight XWM. I've used it for years.

  2. Hrm. on Crack A "Numbers" Station · · Score: 1

    They read them SLOW enough that a computer SHOULD be able to process them with good accuracy. The voices are very clear, also. Whatever it is, its important stuff.

  3. Re:Ignorable on Michael Chaney asks Microsoft to Open Kerberos · · Score: 1

    but what if the sign was red, octagonal, but all it had on it was an O? You xcan click OK without seeing the whole thing AFAIK

  4. Re:How I would do what NetPD did. on NetPD, Metallica's Mysterious Tracker · · Score: 1

    Doesnt work. Encoders do different things, just LITTLE differences. Some padding, some in the music itself. Usually no 2 different encoders will get the same MD5 on the same song

  5. Legality? on NetPD, Metallica's Mysterious Tracker · · Score: 1

    * -- NO BOTS ARE ALLOWED ON THIS SERVICE. IF YOU RUN ONE HERE, --
    * -- IT WILL BE BLOCKED AND YOUR IP WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. --
    *
    Heh. Well they will certianlky hold up in court as far as i'm concerned

  6. Re:No problems on AirFiber Laser Networks: 622mbps · · Score: 1

    3. Quick Fix. Ad a real strong laser of sorts (CO2?) as soon as a "pigeon" (oh human finger) enters the beam, POW fry the bastard , less pigeons, no more curious humans!

  7. Re:Reminds me of that ATM running Windows ... on QNX Crypt Cracked · · Score: 1

    oh god. The ATMS at my bank are new MAC PLUS machines. They have a graphical interface. I would hope that they do not run Windows. Windows for desktop, ok. Windows for server. so-so. Windows with my life on the line. NOT AT ALL.

  8. Re:What about railroad tracks? on Cheap Long Distance Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    The rails in out area ARENT welded together. They have copper or steel wiring connecting them, i bet its a failsafe system. no power = no rail

  9. Re:What I want from MiniDisc on Cool Japanese Gadgets You Can't Have · · Score: 1

    1. Well, you can do double-speed playback in mono extended-play (74min * 2). No quality lowering, however. ($200 for a Sharp MD-MT15 search E-Bay. $2 per MD at MiniDisco.com)
    2. Car Audio decks exist, although dunno where (check Sony?) (Probably $300-$400)
    3. Sharp and Sony both make component decks, and Panasonic makes boomboxes. ($300-$2000)
    4. MD cameras exist. See this discussion and one is mentioned somewhere, but cant remember, sorry. ($400 i think)
    5. RARE! Sony made one MD-Data deck. Discontinued, and uses much more expensive (but holding the same) MD-Data discs. Search EBay. (Saw one on EBay for $200)

  10. Re:take that, RIAA! on Cool Japanese Gadgets You Can't Have · · Score: 1

    its called SCMS, or Serial Copy Management System. Some sheilded Monster cables and do analog norm-speed rip and no SCMS. Theyre are stripper boxes tho.

  11. Re:Visa on Red Hat Takes Heat Over Certification · · Score: 1

    Thats MasterCard. Visa just says its accepted more than AMEX remember?

  12. Re:Big Deal, Nortel is already leading the pack on Motorola Introduces Home Cable Modem/Router · · Score: 1

    WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? Cable NEVER gets 4Mbit with most ISPs. Plus, if they're cheap, you get a downgrade at a T1, to 1.5mbit. Even with a T3 (we're talking local cable company), thats 11 people to saturate it.

  13. Re:Playstation2 Woes on PSX2 Memory Card Recall Ordered · · Score: 1

    *SHMACK* thats 75 million no-frills polygons. Flat lighting, to gourad chading, no bezier curves, no anti-aliasing.

  14. Re:This stuff in innane on What Does the Audio Home Recording Act Really Allow? · · Score: 1

    Which is why you're allowed to copy Analog out the wazoo

  15. Re:Some Key Points on What Does the Audio Home Recording Act Really Allow? · · Score: 1

    I've never seen a CD with a license agreement. I havent seen a song that says "Copyright, some lamer, some year" at the song. So, in court, i could claim it was stamped on on the cd art instert, therefore i only copied the CD, which was not marked so.

  16. Re:Some Key Points on What Does the Audio Home Recording Act Really Allow? · · Score: 1

    Swap space... They're so annoying they'd probably hit you for that

  17. MiniDisc? on What Does the Audio Home Recording Act Really Allow? · · Score: 1

    *hides his MD player*
    Well. They'll never find it because its so small. Really. All I do is enjoy my music and do it smaller, and that's better for me. RIAA has enough money, they should bust the bastards doing it. They're loosing so little money its not funny.

  18. Re:Change "fuck" to "censor" on Update on 'Blame Canada' and the Oscars · · Score: 1

    they dont say "fuck no", they say "heck no" =P just a technicality

  19. Censorship? on Update on 'Blame Canada' and the Oscars · · Score: 2

    Wha? Whats going on here? Do we need censorship? Cartman was right. What's wrong with fuck? Why do we need to *bleep* every word that might infect childrens minds? Parents complain saying that their kids shouldn't hear those words. Then they go off, when they are mad, and feed the words to the face of the kid when they blow their top or start arguing. Realistically. What makes the damned words bad? For example. Shit. Usual meaning: poo. So, if i say "poo" to someone, does that make it an offensive word? Eh, you remark? For the song Blame Canada, fart doesn't need censored. Fuck and bitch SURPRISE! don't appear in the song more than twice (once my boy had my picture on his shelf, now when I see him, he tells me to fuck myself) each. Well. My rantings are done. Blame Can... Soccer Moms! SOMEONE FIX EXTRANS!

  20. Re:Blame Canada is not that funny... on Update on 'Blame Canada' and the Oscars · · Score: 1

    NEVER sing blame canada in front of a croud of canucks. NOT A GOOD IDEA! (am now trying to get shoulder back in socket)

  21. People, People, People! on Review: "Scream 3" · · Score: 1

    As I read, i'm usually a quiet backgrounder. But, I have to respond now. So what if a Scream 3 review is off-topic?! Hell. It's not even that far off-topic. I didn't see anyone complaining when Rob posted his Toy Story 2 review as far as I remember. All he's trying to do is give a (late) review to a movie for the people like me who can't decide which one to spend his $20 on ($15 for 2 tickets, $5 for popcorn and food after 6:00 PM).

  22. Re:Coincidence? on Intel Encounters Another Problem with RAMBUS · · Score: 1

    how in hell did that get moderated up?

  23. Tombstones on Am I Alone After the World Collapsed?!? · · Score: 1

    not only are they a hefty investment, my grandmother was smart enough to get 20 printed in hers instead of 19! Saved her quite a few bucks I must say!

  24. 12:10 AM EST on End of the World · · Score: 1

    And all is well.. well the cell tower is out but it isnt very reliable

  25. Re:This makes no sense.... on DVD CCA Applies for Restraining Order · · Score: 1

    the DVD software or box itself has it's own key. The DVD just has all the keys encoded on the DVD. Xing, being the stupid company they are left their key unencoded and they DeCSS people just stole it.
