  1. Nice try doubleclick on Open Source Automated Text Summarization? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Opps, since I got doubleclick as 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file your little trick didn't work. ha ha ha

  2. But what about the Galactic Core Explosions??? on Exploding Star May Have Damaged Life on Earth · · Score: 0
    Has the suns in the Galactic core start to supernova they will cause a chain reaction of explosions to send great amounts on radiation at light speed shooting toward the our homes.

    We need to get the hell off this planet before the radiations from those chain reaction novas burn the life from all the planets.

    It's time that we are fleeing those explosions of the Galactic Core which will, in several million years, make known space uninhabitable.

    what the heck

    127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net

  4. dark, gaseous environment on Deep-Sea Creatures Captured Alive And Studied · · Score: 0

    Sounds like my office after an all-hands pizza lunch! Now if you added humming boxes you would have it, Not to mention the odd denizens like Luser sponges and the dreaded Bossfish. It could be quite homey.

  5. http://www.stokely.com/ on Resources for the Beginner Hardware Hacker? · · Score: 0, Informative

    Good source. Lots of old school UNIX listings.

  6. Howie Re:So what's wrong with this? on Trimming Television to Sell More Ads · · Score: 0

    Isn't that the muscle guy that sells stuff for Radio Shack? Doesn't he play the Tick? Talk about living the part....

  7. jet-powered rocket pants on NASA Asks the Public For Advice On Goals · · Score: 0
    Long overdue, as is the air cars and Robotic servants.

  8. Here's one answer. on The 11 Greatest Unanswered Questions of Physics · · Score: 0, Redundant

    42

    However the question is rather vague.

  9. Spellcheck is an option. on Quoting in Emails? · · Score: 0, Redundant
    I always send out my email after a spell check, M$ Outrage has an option to always spell check before mailing. Sadly it's not wise to flame your company's CEO for spelling. (on usenet you would look like a clown for that too.)

    Frankly the argument is way too anal. So you don't like the way others send email, sorry. You can only maintain a higher standard for yourself. Send your's in a proper fashion and ignore the oafs.

  10. Dibs on the Martha Quinn box!!!!! on I Want My MTV... PC? · · Score: 1

    You figure that eventually PCs are going to be the memorabilia lunchbox of the 21st century. With that article today about Build Your Own Mini-Computer The Tom's Hardware Article it's more then obvious someone is going to capitalize on the disposable PC market.

    By 2025 their gonna be selling them on Ebay as collectables

  11. Sounds like my old roommate. on New Zealands's Mysterious Sponge-like Creature · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    It's either

  12. Tribes on Good Games for LAN Parties? · · Score: 2, Funny
    The theme is akin to the original Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (that's a plug for the book) -- fighting in Armor w/ Jetpacks and very fast paced.

    It's a little on the older side. http://www.planettribes.com/

    Multi-player Actions in 3-D by two or more teams, installs from one disk & no serial number. However I have seen unopened boxed copies for under $10.....

    Mods are all server side and are availible online (Shifter tops my list)

    "Tribes 2" is a bit more complex and has more "entanglements".

    There are no Bugs to hunt so the other team will just have to do. If you don't want to bother with the setup of the Mod yourself, there are plenty of servers open to the public. You can also password protect a server for private games.

  13. A not just linux resouce on Enterprise Software for Linux? · · Score: 1
    http://www.stokely.com/

    A good place to start looking. It's for users of regular Unix, even on so poor a processor as an x86. ;)

    I haven't found one better maintained, nor so unbiased.

  14. Can anyone say Chicken McHobbits? on The Hype of the Rings · · Score: 1

    I doubt anyone here thinks that a media feeding frenzy was set to begin. Still the movie should rock.

  15. URL is wrong for antivirus info on Latest WinWorm Spreads Via ICQ And Outlook · · Score: 1

    I got one today and didn't get bit, I keep the Preview pane turned to OFF, Works well to keep those HTML email that register who is opening their mail so they can keep you on as an active victim. (err, client). Using simple precautions keeps away most virii.

    Additionally You can look and see what attachments are in a message in outlook without reading the message.

    In Outlook Right-Click and select view attachment. It will display something like "gone.src"

    BTW, The actual URL of Mcafee's site is http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/

  16. None Works fine in the Valley on What Industry Certifications are Worth It? · · Score: 1

    Having a intentional lack of certs has gotten me more jobs because I have experiance.

  17. Put Apache and Slashcode on it..... on What To Do With An Ultra 60? · · Score: 1

    Then you could have a local tool for sharing ideas about how to do stuff and also to showcase peoples work.

    If nothing else you might want to put Samba on it and use it as an fileserver. Also look into WebNFS for kicks.

    one more thing, it's a faster stonger box then any PC you have. (Even a AMD XP) If you want to do compiles for animations thats the box to do it on.

    64bit vs 32bit
