  1. I think... on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    It's made for non 'hardcore' mags like penthouse or something, which are sold at gas stations and the like. If they have really hardcore stuff they might loose the ability to sell in lots of locations. I think a lot of times porn like that is scanned from old magazines or something, because I have no idea why you would ever make porn like that for the 'net.

  2. Re:Exorbitant... on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 1

    Anyone want to crunch the numbers line-by-line to discover how much a boxed linux version should set you back if SCO's per-line cost is translated across the entire code?

    No because we have no idea what code or how many lines SCO actualy belives they own.

  3. hahah on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's funny because we live in a police state where people just 'disappear'. hahaha.

    Oh wait, that's not funny at all...

    The funny thing is McBride actualy compared all of us to Mr. Saeed al-Sahaf. I tried googling for the link, but couldn't find it as everyone else was comparing McBride to him.

  6. Re:Only hurt the innocent on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 1

    Hum...

    So the cops are so incompetent that they almost broke down your door, but you decided that you like cops now because they were polite? If you were a Texas fag a gettin' it on a they still could have busted you for sodimy a couple of months ago. What if you had been smoking weed or something? Would they still have been so polite?

    A couple weeks ago a friend of mine had a very different experience with the cops. They came to a house she was at and started questioning her about a friend of theirs, a black guy, who they had said robbed a bank and wanted to search the house for him. It turns out he had been arrested for public intox and they wanted to nab a couple more stoners.

    And how the hell can you say the odds are a thousand to one when you've only had one experience. You could only reasonably make that claim if you'd had a thousand and one run-ins with them, dumbass. Learn you some stat.

  7. What are you talking about? on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 1

    That kind of thing only happens to Arabs. Just Arabs. Okay, just Arabs and Jose Padilla. Even John Walker got a fair trial. I think.

    Anyway, just Arabs, Jose Padilla and John walker. Like I said, nothing to worry about, you're more like to get hit by a bus or something.

  8. Re:Only hurt the innocent on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 1

    During the DC sniper investigation, hundreds of people driving white vans were pulled over, searched and questioned. That's how investigations work.

    Yeah, and the real snipers were driving a blue Chevy, and were actually pulled over and noted by the police eight times before they were finally captured.

    I mean I just assumed they were checking all the cars that showed up more then once in their dragnets or whatever. I was shocked when I found out they hadn't been. (I'd been wondering how the snipers had managed to keep getting away so quickly...)

    Good enough for government work. In the mean time hundreds of people were turned in for weapons charges, and some illegal immigrants in a white van were deported.

  9. Well fuck on Florida's Version Of TIA May Spread To Other States · · Score: 1

    I don't suppose these assholes would be kind enough to limit data to citizens of participating states....

  10. Um... on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    Via already does this with their EIPA chips, built in video and everything, IIRC.

    I wouldn't be suprised if NVida comes out with a high performance system though, with their expansion into chipsets.

  11. maybe a downside of a higher clockspeed? on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    The p4 is designed for a insane clock speeds, but CMOS chips dissipate no power until the clock changes. The faster the clock speed, the more energy it uses. Designing with a low clock speed/performance ratio could probably yield lower power use. Hmm...

  12. Offopic!? on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    crazy on-crack moderators, why... well... actually that was kind of off topic. oh well. Topicality is the bane of human existence. We aren't little robots who live only to discuss narrowly defined fields at the appropriate time. Humans need to laugh, to joke, and to love, and promote products in inappropriate venues.

  13. Re:Ireland? Israel? Third World? on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    because both these countries have an amazing, free healthcare system that makes the US look, well, kind of "third-worldish".

    Well, in the case of Israel they probably need it. And I think a lot of people might class Malaysia as a 3rd world nation, which is where they make a lot of their consumer desktop chips (although I heard they had to move back to china as the Malay plant wasn't able to cope with the newer dies sizes)

  14. Uh on AMD Demonstrates Linux-Based PDA at LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    Java is pretty big in the moble market, dude. Probably bigger then Wince.

  15. Huh on AMD Buys Pre-VIA Cyrix Media-GX Division · · Score: 1

    AMD is capable of making their own motherboards and chipsets, and usualy does when they come out with new CPUs. But they don't ship them for very long, figuring that it's better to have the taiwanese board and chipset makers on their side, as allies.

  18. I've got then MS9 on Gateway Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    It's got an absolutly Lovely design, but it plays atrac files, not MP3s, so you have to convert the files before you play 'em. Really stupid, I don't know why sony is pushing ATRAC so hard...

  19. Um wow on Gateway Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why spent $170 for 256 megs of space? I can spent less than double

    This is the problem with apple zealots, they think "less then twice as much" is a good deal if it comes from apple.

    Seriously, the price diffrence comes from using a hard drive rather then solid state memory. Some people don't want to pay 'less then double' on an MP3 player, period. Some people don't want something as large as an Ipod.

  20. Oh my god on Gateway Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    There are tons of MP3 players out there, the iPod is just one more player. This gateway device is firmly in the middle of the pack, not any more or less competitive then other devices out there...

    It would also work if all people running mail servers agreed to a payment protocol. It wouldn't happen of course, because it's idiotic, and entirely to much work.

  23. What they are trying to say is on Replacing SMTP? · · Score: 1

    You would send out these emails without a 'stamp' so they couldn't get charged. People would need to open their mailboxes for a while while they wait for the conf mail, or add the sending address to their whitelist.

    What if someone sends you a message, then dies? You'd never get the message.

    But seriously, sender-verification is great, and if these Bayesian filters stop working so well I'll probably get it setup. But really it's one tool in a toolbox. The best solution would be to use that only for messages that fail (or get an ambiguous score by) a Bayesian test or a reverse MX test.

  25. Well.... on Replacing SMTP? · · Score: 1

    How much legit email was being accidentally deleted by people along with the Spam? Did they ever check that? I'd be willing to bet that more legit mail was being deleted accidentally by people then was being deleted by the filters.
