  1. Re:Even if its Cheap, who woud buy from Walmart? on Exchange Rates Play With Online Music Prices · · Score: 1

    I had an open mind and was considering it until I found out it was tied to Windows Media Player.

  2. Re:386to486.exe on Turning A FX5900 Into A FX5950 Ultra, Tool-Free · · Score: 4, Informative

    In many cases, yes. The last two or three generations of cards from NVIDIA and ATI have largely been made up of only two or three physically different cards per generation, per manurfacturer (with different bios's installed though ocasionally a resistor or two had to be soldered in a different location as well). In ATI's case, many of their recent "budget" cards could have extra pipelines unlocked by merely using a hacked driver.

  3. Re:DC Area on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    I'm paying 25$ a month for verizon DSL 1.5/128k in Montgomery county, MD. Look harder maybe?

  4. Different locking mechanism? on First Look At Intel Tejas & Socket 775 · · Score: 1

    Looks like the same arm I've seen on every other socket motherboard.

  5. Re:toms biasware on Tom's Hardware End of Year CPU Roundup · · Score: 1

    Tom is an ass, yes. But no A64 chipsets support sdram. So you, are a fool.

  6. Please forgive me. on China, Russia, U.S. To Build 100MBps Network · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, network builds you! But seriously, this should help me download TATU mp3s faster.

  7. Re:lame acrylic things? on USB Menorah · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How is a Xmas tree religous in any way? Last time I went to church it had nothing to do with the celebration of Christ's birth. Perhaps if he knocked a USB powered Advent wreath or Nativity set you might have something to get uppity about. The tree and gift giving crap is purely secular, however.

  8. It's been done before on Monster Garage's Robotic R/C Car Challenge · · Score: 3, Informative

  10. Re:Is it really legal? on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    And your parent can walk into the bank, lay down proof of guardianship over you, and withdraw every dime in your bank account(s) legally. If they demand it, you must give them your laptop, car, pants, you name it - you must legally hand it over. If for some crackhead reason you had the cash to buy a house, they could sell it withought your permission or without even telling you.

    OTOH, if you fucked up your tax returns, guess who will end up having to pay the IRS penalties and fees? Thats right, they will.

    You only have as much freedom and as many rights as they allow you to have. Don't worry, you'll stop being pissy and defensive after you turn 18. ;)

  13. Re:OFN on Superfast Optically-Based DSP Announced · · Score: 1

    Pretty fucking good idea. Except that every story would get marked by trolls if there were no restrictions.

    Maybe base it on Karma. Or give out moderation points for stories. Dupe -1, Old News -1(ex: article dated 18 months ago.)

    Or there will be virtuly no software for it when it comes out and for months to come. AMD has had books on the x86-64 instruction set for years now. Not to mention emulators have been available for almost as long.

  24. Re:Or an X-Box, surely? on HP Introduces Transmeta Thin Clients · · Score: 1

    Loud as hell? not so. There are two fans in it, the cpu fan and the chasis fan. The chasis fan is near silent and the p4 fan make a low hum. Not even a whine. My GF FX has a louder fan than the stock p4 fans.

    750$ will get you a p4 2.53ghz, 512mb ram, cdrw, and 40gb HD all in a business SFF chasis, from Compaq-HP. Well, its actuall a Compaq designed PC, but it has the HP logo on it.
