  1. Re:As an engineer... on Any Open Source Solutions For DIY Auto Diagnostics? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I just found and bought torque the other day. Great piece of software. I've had an OBDkey for a while, and had an old palm PDA mounted in the car to run the OBD reading software. Now with Torque, I was able to ditch the palm and just use my android phone. I eventually want to play with the OBD protocol and see just what I can get my car to do or not do.

    While I don't know about the sauerbraten community, I have hung out with the dev team of Blood Frontier for a long time not only for the up to date info on the game, but for the comradery and great chats we have. There is a real community surrounding this game, and I feel that your statement couldn't be further from the truth.

    Wow, paranoid any? Do you really think a police officer would see your opinion, somehow get a subpoena for slashdot to get your IP, somehow get another subpoena to get your contact information from your ISP, all while hoping you live in their jurisdiction, just if they happen to pull you over they will recognize that you are the "red light camera supporter?" Get a life.

    I have been managing my union's IT stuff since its conception, so they allowed me to choose my titles. I am currently the 'information minister' and the 'overtime ambassador'. Not many people get it.

    Why change? I love Linux, and if it changed to suit "the ipod generation," I would probably like it less. Why compromise beliefs so we can have a 8% market share instead of 6%? Who benefits?

  12. Re:Awesome on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    Personally, I applaud the judge's ruling. I don't need these ultra-conservative idiots "cleaning" my movies before I watch 'em, just as I don't need a nanny to supervise everything I do. I'm 34 for chrissakes, let me live my life as I wish, stop trying to "protect" me from all the world's "evils".

    Live your life as you wish then, and don't buy an edited version. People like you are the reason unrated versions of movies are made. People like kids are the reason D*sney movies are made. The two can co-exist peacefully.

    Forgive me if there is something I am missing, because I don't claim to be a M$ guru, but what benefit do you derive from using activedirectory? You need a third party program to implement proper share and printer mounting based on users and groups. And exchange? You get an addressbook.

    It was probably microwave. I don't know much about it, but I have seen it in plenty of places and understand it is a good way to handle digital video signals, so I have to assume it would do well with VoIP also.

    I worked security in a real bad Indianapolis ghetto for a while, and the going rate there was one crack rock. A rock goes for anywhere from $5 to $15. Foodstamps worked for a while too until they came out with the foodstamp card and did away with the paper ones.

    I have a motorola a630, and you have to use the phone service tools to enable the java app loader, but once you do that, it is a piece of cake to load your own apps onto the phone, either by usb cable, or by putting them on a web server and pointing the phone at them.

    I never saw the accident investigator's report, but from what I can tell, the first barrier strikes were glancing blows. It was the last one did her in. It finally killed the car, and she ended up at the hospital, don't know how badly she was injured.

  22. Re:Wonder what happened... on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I helped out on an accident investigation a few months ago- there were probably 400 yards worth of skid marks, the the driver of the vehicle hit the center barrier 4 or 5 times. I was trying figure out how those skids were left (she wasnt doing 600mph) when someone looked in the car and saw a sandal stuck under the gas pedal, pinning it to the floor. The back wheels were locked up because she was on the brake, but the engine kept the power to the front wheels, keeping the car in motion. Must have been a hell of a ride.
