  1. Re:Nature of Big Business Today? on HP Witch Hunt Also Targeted Reporter's Father · · Score: 1

    Since I have about 4 of those ESAs... how do you turn off that very very annoying relay chatter? Thanks.

  2. Re:HP's got some decent lowend hardware on Rack Mounted PCs for the Home User? · · Score: 1

    Just FYI - spent three hours this weekend trying to install Solaris x86 on a DL140. Just doesnt work. Redhat, Windows work great though.

  3. DIY DVD Editing? on Auto-Censoring DVD Player · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have always wanted to find a way to personally edit DVD's to remove content that would be objectionable - that way, as my children grow older, I could create new versions that introduces the stuff back in. No reason to have some corp. body controlling the 'censored' content of my dvd's. Any thoughts on the DVD editing? Thanks

  4. Part Numbers? on Soldering with a Toaster Oven · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if the author (or submitter) could supply the slashdot community with the Digikey Part numbers?

    If it was just the solder, it would be one thing. But the page mentions tips, etc needed.

    Thanks

  5. Re:Amazing on Installing PEAR on Mac OS X · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'll sell you mine for $300 plus shipping.

  6. Not likely.... on Japan Developing Diamond-based Semiconductors · · Score: 1

    One of the most important properties of silicon is the easy to form (both in thickness and control of growth rate) and stable oxide.

    Most of an integrated circuit is not active, and just exists for alignment errors and isolation of deplition regions.

    I really doubt that Diamond dioxide will be as easy to form as Silicon dioxide.

  7. Re:CFC's on Refrigerators To Cool With Sound (Cool!) · · Score: 1

    Water is H20 and as such has an atomic weight of 1+1+16 = 18 per molecule. Water evaporates basicly a molecule at a time.

    Air (mostly Nitrogen) is diatomic, so 2*14 = 28.

    Hence, water is ligher than air.

  8. CFC's on Refrigerators To Cool With Sound (Cool!) · · Score: 1

    Let us ask a question - Why does a helium balloon float?

    This effect is due to the helium atoms being lighter than there surrounding atoms so the balloon gets pushed up (think effect of air bubbles in water if it helps).

    Now, since this is why things float - and the ozone is approx. 100 miles or so above the surface of the earth, let us ask the real question: How can CFC's (carbon chain molecule with florine) being much heavier than air float up to that altitute?

  9. But Ugly? on Off-The-Rack Liquid-Cooled PC Case · · Score: 1

    So, now that it uses common pc parts, the looks suddenly matter? Wasnt it mentioned a few days ago that looks dont matter? (re:iMac)

  10. Oh, how i wish on LindowsOS Marches On · · Score: 1

    How i wish that their web developer would become informed that changing the window size and removing the toolbars is the fastest way to get rid of the said descriminating users.
