  1. In my opinion... on New EL Touchscreen Remote Control · · Score: 1

    These won't take off. Too pricey.

    Also, I know when when I use a remote, I'm usually not looking at it. I tell what button to press by the feel of it, which obviously won't work with this.

    I can see the geekiness factor, but unless it's hackable in some way, I wouldn't buy one.

  2. Etherkiller on A Universal Power Bus? · · Score: 1
  3. The-cloak on Anonymous Surfing? · · Score: 1

    I rarely have to, but when I need to surf anonymously, I use The-Cloak.

  4. Re:mirror on How The DMCA Is Enforced · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Hmmm... on Larry Wall On Perl, Religion, and... · · Score: 1

    That's the problem I've had with Christianity in general. "Love others as you would love yourself, but if you don't believe in God, you'll go to hell."

  6. Re:Just Months Away... on LinuXbox Boots · · Score: 1

    Mame has already been already ported to xbox. However, it isn't supported at the MAME site any more. You can, however, obtain it in #xbins on efnet.

  8. Re:That's your reason for running Linux in a VM?! on Virtual PC for OS/2 released · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure he meant he didn't have to reboot to switch between OS/2 and Linux.

  9. Re:first post on April Fools Wrap Up · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    someone mod this idiot down! what? AC isn't working? crap!

  10. first post on April Fools Wrap Up · · Score: -1, Troll

    pour some hot grits and maybe goatse down wil wheaton's pants, then maybe we'll see some linux dying!

  11. Idea on Web Access on Handhelds · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could give each subscriber his/her own page. I.E. channel.html?ai23jfu3 or ai23jfu3.html.

  12. Re:What's the real story here? on Morpheus DOS'd and Moving to Gnutella · · Score: 1
    This smells. Not that I'm complaining, it was nice while it lasted, and it was "free" as in beer. But now I've got 2-3 GB of partially downloaded files that are useless. (shagrined is the word.)
    Well, you could move those files over to the download directory of another official FastTrack client. It has worked for me (a couple of months ago) anyway.
  13. Fine line on Are Spreadsheets Software or Data? · · Score: 1

    Software - NOUN
    Computer Science The programs, routines, and symbolic languages that control the functioning of the hardware and direct its operation.

    Data - PLURAL NOUN
    (used with a sing. or pl. verb) 1. Factual information, especially information organized for analysis or used to reason or make decisions. 2. Computer Science Numerical or other information represented in a form suitable for processing by computer. 3. Values derived from scientific experiments. 4. See datum.

    It's a very fine line. I personally would call an excel workbook data, but I'm not sure how well it can hold up in reality.

  14. sneakemail on DSLReports Study: 8 Hours 'til the Spam Hits · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's exactly why I use sneakemail. It gives you a random email address like asjglkjg176489@sneakemail.com. When an email is sent there, it goes to your inbox. You can have as many aliases as you want (They suggest 1 per site you sign up with). If you receive spam on one of them, you can just disable that alias. It's really great.

  15. linux-hacker.net boards on Hacking the New Replay TV Units? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...are a good place to start.

  16. Re:Important things not covered.. on Review of the Cybiko Xtreme · · Score: 1

    Yes. http://www.cybimunk.com/VirtualPage.asp?NewsID=169
    (a good review, with lots of screenshots)

  17. Re:Resemblence... on Review of the Cybiko Xtreme · · Score: 1

    I have a "Cybiko Classic." To put it frankly, the graphing calc program for it really sucks.
    Unless:
    a) They re-made it (doesn't look like it)
    or
    b) You want to code your own

    ...you're pretty much out of luck

  18. Links on Review of the Cybiko Xtreme · · Score: 4, Informative

    I used to be active in the cybiko community. Here are some links:
    www.cybla.com
    www.cybimunk.com
    www.devcybiko.com

    Hope you find these useful

  19. QUAKE!!! on Net Connected Dream Inducer · · Score: 1

    That would make for one good game of quake...

  20. Re:Horrific Uses on Thin, Flexible Printable Battery For Smartcards · · Score: 1

    Banner ads maybe.
    I don't think that it would be considered a real-world equivalent of popups, because you don't have to go out of your way to "close" them
    (i.e. packaging turns motor, which in turn moves a piece of cardboard in front of you. You must push a button to make it close)

  21. I can see it now... on Wrist Watch Camera Now with Color Display · · Score: 1

    me: Like my new watch?
    /me holds watch right in front of female's face so it has a clear view down the shirt
    *click*
    me: Thanks, gotta run!
    Girl: But... WAIT!!!
    /me is already out of the room

  22. Hacking WITH permission on Cybercrime Treaty Signed · · Score: 0, Interesting

    This makes hacking WITH permission illegal. Does that mean a company can't hire me to test their security? Can they test their OWN security?

  23. Controls? on id Games for Linux PDAs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This sounds great, but what about controls? There is a big possibility if you use the stylus, your screen will get scratched up. I, personally, would rather have a neat screen rather than games unless it was a dedicated games PDA (which seems crazy).

  24. Show them it will work on Windows-to-Linux. Large Installations Handling the Changeover? · · Score: 1

    Burn a couple dozen bootable CDs with linux, samba, and a few other goodies (ie. word processing, GIMP, etc.). Give 'em to them and tell them to try it. Show them that they can get 99% of the functionality that they currently are paying thousands for, for free.

    Just my $0.02

  25. Wolfie 3d on Return to Castle Wolfenstein Ships · · Score: 1

    I played the old dos game a long time ago. That rocked. I can just imagine it now...
