  1. Techno Martha Stewart on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 1

    Anyone ever used their desk as a computer case?

    Maybe give your CDROM a wood casing and have it pop out of your desk like a drawer? (Have the computer speakers play a sound of a drawer opening when you press eject.)

    Ever make your room appliances controlled by the PC? (/DEV/LAMP or /DEV/FAN)

    Know of any clever tricks for concealing wires? (for things like power supplies, not like your keyboard which can be wireless.)

    When your not using it, could you make your monitor look like a picture frame, or your mouse look like some other peice of desk art?

  2. Re:Nowadays . . . on Rare Earth · · Score: 1

    We'll let the detonation of an atomic bomb slide, but throwing shreds of paper in the air...

    That's just blatent disrespect for mother earth.

    You sir, make me sick.

    I wish everyone would adopt the bordercolor attribute of the table tag.

    That's a not a mistako! It's a him, mario!

  5. My first impression of RMS on BBC interview with RMS · · Score: 2, Funny

    One day a friend of mine told RMS in a chatroom interview "RMS! You're my hero!" to which RMS replied: "Bite me, Fanboy." Priceless.

  6. Damn forigners. on Kazaa Is Legal, Dutch Appeals Court Rules · · Score: 1
    And despite the the fact that both Taco and I are from Holland, MI, no, neither of us can speak/read Dutch


    If you're going to live in the city atleast learn to speak the language. Damn forigners.
  7. Maybe... on Playing Ball in Space · · Score: 1, Redundant

    NASA geeks just suck at playing catch.

  8. Re:How long? on Wireless Mania · · Score: 2

    There is no wait. People are already doing it, and uploading their findings to databases and giving GPS coordinates.

  9. The other side of the coin... on Turnitin.com - Placebo for Plagiarism or Worse? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can take plagerized texts, run it through this software and then keep tweeking it until it no longer sets off the filter alarm.

  10. Condone Piracy .... on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 1

    You mean like stealing royalties for works that did not originate in their studios?
    Maybe when Disney starts respecting intellectual property rights, we will. Oh Bother.

  11. Good. on SSSCA Hearing · · Score: 1

    I hope this bill passes. I hope they tag and track every DVD CD and TV Transmission and charge $2.00 per view. Maybe then people will get sick of it and start thinking more about creating rather than consuming.

  12. This would be sensory overload. on Augmented Reality: Enhanced Perception · · Score: 0

    You would be walking around town all slack-jawed thinking to yourself "wow, I didn't you know Patrick Duffy stayed at this hotel!" and then you'd get side swiped by a truck.

  13. Doesn't this mean ... on Is The Net At Fault For Illegal Filesharing? · · Score: 0, Troll

    that Al Gore is ultimately responsible?

  14. Theres a catch... on CDN Supreme Court Upholds 'Net Free Speech · · Score: 2, Funny

    They have to make sure to provide a french translation of their dissatisfaction.

  15. Re:just another viewpoint getting in the way on Disinformation.com · · Score: 1

    Pascal's Wager is too narrow minded. Falsely believing that God exists can lead to great harm. Ask a family member of a suicide cult victim. As well, you could believe in God, but your faith lies in a false god, which could lead to eternal damnation. So forget the wager, it really isn't relevant. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

  16. Re:Ebooks become dead trees easily on What if Harry Potter 5 Was an E-Book? · · Score: 1

    Too bad that if you print out your eBook and give it to kinkos they will bring in the FBI and say "HA, BIND THIS!" pointing to you.

  17. Re:Here here! on No-Tech Schools In Tech Land · · Score: 1

    I'll have you know plenty of homeschoolers are freethinkers\atheists.

    Mainly, beleive it or not, because public school has too much of a white-christian centered cirriculum in some places. (Especially the south.)

    Homeschool isn't a christian thing. Allthough, lots of christians do it, it's usally adopted by people who don't like the idea of the government indoctrinating and in some cases controlling their children.

    The government still makes most homeschoolers take government created tests, and oddly enough, home schools do much better than public schools on these tests using their custom curriculums than public schools do with cirriculums designed specifically for taking those tests.

  18. Re:Open Source Direct 3D Wrapper Means on An Open Source Direct3D 8.0 Wrapper for Open GL · · Score: 1

    Half-Life has OpenGL drivers. If memory serves me correctly, Half-Life is a modified Quake2 Engine which is already in linux. There should be very little holding back from making a port of half-life to linux ( if it hasn't already been done) Starcraft on the otherhand uses mostly DirectDraw. Which DirectX 8 doesn't even contain.

  19. Re:What kind of advances in AI? on Modular Robots · · Score: 1

    Nope, if youve got a serial port you can develop on em pretty much.

  20. Re:What kind of advances in AI? on Modular Robots · · Score: 1

    Lego Mindstorms. The physical sensors are rather limited though. Touch (A button pretty much) Heat, (Thermometer) Light, (Detects brightness) Rotation. Limitations aside, ive seen some really impressive things hacked out with these little bots. (A copying machine for one)

  21. Oh Great on Testing Technology on a Veritable Army of Children? · · Score: 1

    It's like a normal PDA, but the only font is wingdings.

  22. The solution if anybody cares. on Cracking Crypto To Get Into College · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Watch for an increase of sales in on Judge Upholds FBI Keyboard Sniffing · · Score: 1

    Keyboard loggers arn't necessarily software, so they would just need physical access to your machine. I wouldnt be suprised if they have keyloggers that look like the little rubber nubbies on the bottom of keyboards and laptops. As for speech software, they would just use a normal bug in that case. =)
