  1. Mr. Burns on Combining Nanotech and Radiology · · Score: 1

    Thaer has to be something to this radiation therapy. Mr Burns is like 150 years old and never had cancer.

  3. Re:a relief, but... on Internet Tax Ban Extended · · Score: 1

    I hope that you realize that the Post Office charging for emails was a joke. Do you realize the hardware that would have to be deployed in order to track the emails sent would be severely cost-ineffective and pretty much impossible. I know my company sends out several thousand emails an hour and it is a small company.

  4. Termite farms? on Methanol Fuel-Cell Battery For Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Since termites produce such a large amount of methane will I be able to write off my house as a termite farm on my taxes?

  5. Re:It has me wondering on ATA133 Controllers Have Arrived · · Score: 1

    You bought Ultra 160 because it is a superior technology. The difference between ATA 100 and ATA133 is nominal. Ultra 160 has a higher burst rate, higher sustained rate and also lower cpu utilization.

  6. Re:This one is easy ... on Who Invented Packet-Switching? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Then apple must have stolen it from Xerox!

  7. Re:First Mistake on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 5, Funny

    A sys admin would never commit serial murder. Why go to jail and spen the rest of your life is a small room with no windows when you can continue to get paid while sitting in a room that is less luxurious!

  8. Licensing!! on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    I became a Unix admin because it became such a pain to keep track of licenses! Not a worry with Unix

  9. Re:I want this game so much. on First Review of Halo · · Score: 3, Informative

    They are releasing it for PC and MAC. Check out http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl? read=76648

  10. Preempted on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bush is making a speech tonight on national TV.

  11. Making it fun.. on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 0

    > Do what the average teen hacker would do. Launch an attack on GRC

  12. Re:XP is faster in certain circumstances on InfoWorld says WinXP much slower than Win2K · · Score: 0

    You are saying that it is faster in some circumstances but you give nothing to back this up. My only problem with the article is that I did not see anywhere where they listed the amount of RAM on the machines. This will make a big difference in XP. Also, are all the same services running in the background? This is going to affect the performance also.

  13. When will it stop? on Smart Yarn and E-Textiles · · Score: 0

    OK this is getting a little bit rediculous. There are times when we need to get away from electronics.

  14. Re:5 Years a Fair Settlement on More Details of MS/DOJ Deal · · Score: 0

    A 5 year subscription is better than what is happened recently. How many OS's have they released in the last two years?

  15. Re:What will be really interesting... on Are DVDs Software Or Films? · · Score: 1

    The X-box is not going to susceptible to virii. Everything is hardcoded into ROM. Besides, I have not seen any anouncement that Microsoft is releasing a version of outlook for the X-box.

  16. Re:Uncle Joe might buy one on HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component · · Score: 1

    You can buy a brand new computer for less than $500. With the way the economy is at this time this is a much more practical decision. For another $150 (this includes the installation) you can add a highe end sound card that will allow you to export out to to a TV or Home stereo system.

  17. Waste of money on HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is a bad decision on HP's part and even worse decision by anybody that would actually pay money for this. You can build or purchase a pc that has more functionality and also do all that this box is capable of for less money.
