  1. Re:"Free" hosting... on How Much Do You Pay to Host Your Website? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Speakeasy seems to be the best way to go if you want to host your own sites. My friend in Acworth (suburb of Atlanta), GA, has my domain sitting on a box on his Speakeasy DSL which is 1.5/384 ADSL. He's only being charged about $100-$120 for the 4 or so IPs and DSL connection.

    Consequently I'm getting charged only $30...so it's a pretty good deal to run one domain on a P3 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD machine.

  2. An interesting find... on In-Depth Sims Online Development Story · · Score: 1

    Peek on over at tsoj.com for a nice, simple slash site for The Sims Online stuff.

  4. Wow! on Possible Signs of Life Detected On Venus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...mysterious swirling patches on the surface of the planet which may be communities of bacteria...

    Wow! There IS intelligent life in the universe.

  5. Re:You guys still use HTTP to get this? P2P! on Red Hat 8.0 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let's see...using standard bellsouth adsl...1.5 Mbps download speed from a mirror over HTTP...or 4 kBps download speed using a P2P program. Not a tough choice there.

  6. In related news... on Slashdot Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    The geek population is becoming extinct due to the lack of sex in the last 5 years.

  7. The Old Switcharoo on 13.8MP Kodak Tops Previously Leaked Canon · · Score: 1


    Captain dislexia got to the poster on this one...here's the links in the correct order:
    11.1 megapixel camera from Canon
    13.8 megapixel monster from Kodak

  8. Why bullet-proof baseball caps? on Thailand's "Q" Banks on Rubber Bullets · · Score: 1


    Because when fans start sneaking guns into baseball games, you'll have protection.
    Screw the occasional assault and battery of some 1st base coach.

  9. Re:Tron 2.0? You've Got to be Kidding! on Interview with Tron Creator Steven Lisberger · · Score: 1

    It also starred Bruce Boxleitner, one of the worst actors of any generation...

    It is quite obvious Bruce Boxleitner acts well enough to be in not only film, but also, two television series, one of which won many emmys. Granted, the emmys aren't necessarily the best way to judge a TV series, but if you actually watch Babylon 5, you wouldn't see him as such a terrible actor.

  10. Qualifications? on Talk To a European Patent Examiner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What qualifications do you require for granting a patent to someone?

  11. Other places in Georgia on Wireless Clouds for Good and Ill · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Athens isn't the only place starting things like this. Valdosta State University has a wireless network spread out over most of the campus. Supposedly there is Wi-Fi being setup in Valdosta itself, nothing known whether or not it is a free service venture.

    GA Tech also has a couple of projects going on here and here.
    Georgia Southwestern State University also has an endeavour. As does the Medical College of Georgia.

  12. The hatches on Apollo 1 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The reason the hatches took no less than 90 seconds to open is because NASA wanted to prevent another Liberty Bell 7 incident (MR-4) where the hatch supposedly blew off prematurely. Poor Gus Grissom was apparently not intended to make it out of the space program alive.
