  1. Re:Obligatory Prediction on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 1

    Nah. Why do you think the G5 is 64-bit? They just have to replace all their G4's by 2038 (which seems to be posing a problem right now....).

    (Written on a TiBook G4 which I'm really wishing was a G5 right now.)

  2. Re: on Salon Writes on The Troubles with "Trek" · · Score: 1

    First, I rather like the Enterprise-E, it makes sense for the newest Enterprise to look different from the first one, there is a time span of something like 140 years (Kirk wasn't the Enterprise's first captain, I seem recall it was 20 years old by the time he got it). Second, you're talking about First Contact, not Insurrection.

  3. Re:The reason for the death of Trek... on Salon Writes on The Troubles with "Trek" · · Score: 1

    Not only was the original studio Desilu, but the show was ALMOST cancelled after the second season, they didn't actually cancel it until after the third season.

  4. Re:Clarke's vision & implications on It's raining diamonds on Neptune & Uranus · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, I got 2061 from the library just last week (and 2010 the week before, Jupiter's diamond core is mentioned first in 2010, but not explained in any real detail). The article in Nature is "The ice layer in Uranus and Neptune--diamonds in the sky?" it's on pp. 435-36 of Vol. 292 No. 5822 from July 30, 1981, and was written by Marvin Ross of the University of California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboritory.

  5. Re:How I Do It on Linux on Ask Slashdot: IP Masquerading Drawbacks? · · Score: 1

    The protocol specific ip masq stuff is always compiled as a module, as someone already mentioned. I just have a script that loads all the modules at bootup, they persist just fine, I went on vacation for 3 weeks once and they were working just fine when I got back. You also have to enable ip forwarding by giving a command like echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and, of course, configure ipchains.

  6. Re:no copper on silicon on Intel Undercuts AMD · · Score: 1

    Why not make them all out of gold? Quite simple, gold is NOT the best conductor. Silver is the best conductor, followed by copper. The real question is why not make them out of silver?

  7. K7 is a much better name on K7 Renamed "Athlon" · · Score: 1

    I really like K7, it always reminds me of "The Trouble With Tribbles" Any computer component that reminds you of Star Trek is probably a good thing, although it probably doesn't remind most people of anything. I think it sounds cooler anyway though, besides, wouldn't you expect something called K7 to be faster than something called P3?

  8. Re:How about my TV! on Ask Slashdot: Wooden Chasis and EMF · · Score: 1

    I'm no physicist, but what would emf have to do with cable reception? You're not trying to pull in a radio frequency, it's all in the coax cable, which is fairly well shielded already.

  9. Re:Few Comments on High Density Storage · · Score: 1

    Actually, FAT32 maxs out at 2 Terabytes and only uses 32K clusters at that size as I recall, can anyone confirm this?
