  1. Re:Obligatory link to other Diary of a Segway owne on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 1

    That's awesome, thanks you =) I hadn't read that before.

  2. Looks normal? on Radiation Detection Wrist Watch · · Score: 2

    I can't seem to find any other images of the watch anywhere on that website or elsewhere on the web for that matter. The angle it's at hides the thickness of the watch.... it could be 3/4 of an inch thick =/

    Try google's groups.

  4. Re:I'm sorry, but WTF would you ever need this for on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 2

    I think it's absolutely STUPID to say that a P2 333 is 'fast enough' for home use. Granted, 3GHz might be overkill at the moment *only* because of how expensive it is, but there are definitely reasons to have a fast machine.

    Hell, even if you disregard every single cool application that either runs better or needs a fast machine to run, it's worth getting a fast machine simply for how responsive it is.

  5. I'm confused on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Most powerful home system"? 3.06GHz P4s are available, I don't understand why this system has a 2.8 overclocked to 2.9?

  6. Re:Yahoo works, hotmail not on Turing Tests to Stop Spam · · Score: 3, Informative

    When you sign up, if I remember correctly, hotmail used to have an ENABLED option to share your email address... you had to go into options and disable it. Also, make sure you're not signed up for any newsletters or other crap. I've created multiple hotmail accounts, and never get spammed until I use that address somewhere.

  7. Correct on 802.11g Hardware Arrives · · Score: 5, Informative

    But 802.11g is also backwards compatible with 802.11b (11Mbps at 2.4GHz) and 802.11a (54Mbps at 5GHz.)

    Read up on all the specs for the different 802.11 standards at ZDnet.

    -Berj

  8. FYI on 802.11g Hardware Arrives · · Score: 5, Informative

    FYI, 802.11g is the spec for wireless networks that provides data rates of up to 54Mbps (54 Megabits per second.)

  9. Outside line? on Requiem for the Disappearing Pay Phone · · Score: 2

    Pay phones still have some use... doesn't anyone watch The Sopranos?

    -Berj

  10. Re:Why? on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 1

    Honestly... do you have to ask? You know as well as I do - it doesn't sell. There's a limited audience for what TechTV was originally supposed to be. It might not seem that way if you hang out with other techies, but it's true.

    -Berj

  11. by definition... on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 1

    "Anime Unleashed focuses on the science-fiction elements of anime--titles that imagine what our near or far future will be like, investigate the relationship between humans and machines, dream of what alien civilizations could be like, and more."

    Doesn't that cover a large majority of all anime out there? =)

    -Berj

  12. Lain on Anime Unleashed on TechTV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Serial Experiment Lain"

    One of the strangest series I've ever seen... It doesn't seem like something American audiences would like at ALL (lots of slow, moody scenes, lots of 'wtf is going on') but I'm glad TechTV is brave enough to carry it =)

  13. Re:-1, wrong on Powerline Broadband in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    I'm ashamed =(

    10mbps is still reasonably fast, though! =)

    -Berj

  14. but soon, on Powerline Broadband in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    They talk about 10mbps soon, though, and that's T1 speed.

    -Berj

  15. Broadband over power lines? on Powerline Broadband in Hong Kong · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why is this not available in the US yet?

    -Berj

  16. Re:One way. on 802.11 RF Amp · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, like puzzled (12525) posted: "FYI half of the reason to deploy an amp is for the LNA (low noise amplifier) effect - besides boosting output they pump up the return signal by 10 - 14 dB."

    Give him the karma. And mods, why the hell are you modding up this post's parents, and it's parent's parent?

    The amp doesn't go halfway between anything, and you don't need a similar device on the other end.

  17. Re:Cheat dating? on Googling For Dates? · · Score: 2, Informative

    No =)

    Put your conscience to rest... if you start seeing eachother regularly, I'm sure you'll eventually tell her and I'm sure you'll both laugh about it. Like I posted earlier, this is the technological update of calling her friends to find out what she's into!

    -Berj

  18. Fake. on Googling For Dates? · · Score: 1

    Snopes

    NBC30

    See? =) ALWAYS check with Snopes first, hehe.

    -Berj

  19. Are you kidding? on Googling For Dates? · · Score: 1

    What's the big deal?

    In the past, you used to ask friends who knew the girl about her, to get an idea of what she likes or what she's about. This is just a technological update of that idea, and I really think it's harmless.

    If you were to search for me, you'd find out:

    a) I've played Quake
    b) I've posted on Slashdot
    c) I'm a Tool fan
    d) I've gone to UCLA

    We're not talking about sniffing her panties and going through her mailbox, we're talking about searching the (public) Internet.

  20. Re:NYTimes: Idea of the year chosen by SlashDot on NYTimes Year in Ideas · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or do none of those work anymore?

    =(

  21. 15 million, eh? =) on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 4, Funny

    How much do you wanna bet when they say they're investing 15-million, they mean they're creating $15,000,000 worth of items in-game? =)

    $50,000 from Uber Swords of Slaying (500 @ $100 apiece)
    $5,000 from Moldy Muffins (5,000 @ $1 each)

    etc, etc.

  22. Re:But do they even know? on Wal-Mart Lindows PCs Selling Well · · Score: 1

    Stop, stop!!! You're ruining my faith in humanity =(

    -Berj

  23. Yes, it is. on Wal-Mart Lindows PCs Selling Well · · Score: 1

    I know and have spoken to enough 'non-computer' people to understand the influence of the media (and a strong brand name) on them. At the mention of a computer with an AMD processor, they get this dubious look in their eyes, and become hesitant. It's ingrained in them that INTEL makes THE PROCESSORS, and the other guys 'try to do the same thing.'

  24. LOTR 'Inside the Effects' on Slashback: Panama, Leeches, Comeuppance · · Score: 1

    So worthwhile =) Go check it out!

  25. Sony, eh? on Sony Hard Drive Recorder for Cars · · Score: 1

    I always wonder... is Sony Music tearing their hair out, while Sony Electronics develops a way to copy music CDs?
