  1. finally on Sandia Builds Micromechanical 'Device Driver' · · Score: 4, Funny

    this is great news for the little computer elves that do all the calculations in my computer. They've been slaving away on their abicii for years, now i can buy them bicycles with nano-chains and stuff!

  2. Re:boot times on P4 2.2GHz and D845BG Review · · Score: 1
    Also a lot of people are still running ME or 98. Booting takes up to 5-6 mins on some machines. That's why they are so interested in boot times.

    I wasn't talking about Me or 98 though...i was talking about win2k. On any 9X type, you shouldn't be leaving it on, but Win2K is built to stay running...

  3. boot times on P4 2.2GHz and D845BG Review · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Why the heck are people so interested in boot times on windows PC's? If you are running Win2K or higher, you don't need to reboot very often...

    In the last month, I've had to reboot twice, and that was booting when i got the lan party, and when i got back...

  4. Re:Emusic questions on The Future of Music Conference · · Score: 1

    They're gonna use Xing?? then i'm not signing up...stupid crappy encoder...

  5. Music under the GPL? on The Future of Music Conference · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone investigated the release of music under the GPL? I mean, a copyright should still be on the music so people can't rerelease stuff you've made and take credit for it. But could the GPL be used in any way to do this?

  6. Re:Emusic questions on The Future of Music Conference · · Score: 1

    As a musician myself, i would never rip anything at less that 192...256 is preferable...at 128 you rip out the frequencies that give defenintion to hihats and crash cymbals...they sound like crap.

  7. Re:Floppies.... on 9-Track Open Reel Tape Production Ends This Year · · Score: 1

    Floppies are fantastic! Just as long as you don't put any data on them... They fly pretty well, and they have a bit of mass to them, so they can hurt people, plus, uh...they can...ummm...hold up the short leg of your couch?

  8. Re:Broadband is a necessary service on What's Holding Up Broadband in the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    400 pings?? holy crap...Around where I live (outskirts of hamilton) i rarely gets pings over 60 on my cable modem.

  9. The true path to OS enlightenment on Dave Barry Does Windows · · Score: 1
    at some point a group needs to get together and build a "stupid" linux

    That's a good idea, but you seem to be repeating history here....windows was invented partly because people needed a "stupid" DOS. If we were to try and create a stupid Linux, we would run into the same problems that Windoze has, we would need to include a lot of features that would take tons of code to implement...which brings us to errors in the code and then people (like myself) complain about these bugs all the time...so what we need isn't a "stupid" operating system, we just need to educate the users better.

  10. Re:Wasted post above on Goodbye, "Majestic" · · Score: 1

    That was a Simpsons reference...

  11. Re:Wasted post above on Goodbye, "Majestic" · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    That's just fine that you don't like /. , but there's no reason to go off on such a pointless rant...

    So that means there's only one thing left to say...

    If you don't like it, go back to Russia!!!

  12. Slightly off topic, but worthy of discussion on FIRST Robotics Competition Starts Today · · Score: 1
    Has anyone tried to download the new realone player? Apparently for your free account they require not only your address, but your CREDIT CARD #....

    What the crap is that all about? It makes me think that Real is trying to simply irritate you into paying 10 bucks for the player...what a scam.

  13. Re:Hmm... on Is CD Copy Protection Illegal? · · Score: 1
    No kidding...the only CD i bought this year was Tool's Lateralus...(which is easily my pick for album of the year)...

    Everything else just sucked ass.

    No wonder record sales are down...too much airplay of too much crap=no sales.

  14. Re:Nice machine... on Panasonic 'Q' First Look · · Score: 2, Funny
    Unforunately, Panasonic has no plans to release this unit in the US. For now, it's a Japan area only device.

    That's okay...Japan is North America's beta testing ground...

  15. is anybody really surpised... on Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    Movies and TV tend to have a serious problem with being on the trailing edge of pop culture...has anybody heard of a show called Popstars? Here in Canada, the band they made is doing terribly and they are about to air the creation of another... Stupid television...

  16. Re:why use it? on Preview the New Napster · · Score: 1

    You gotta love how that quote says that they're paying copyright holders and not Artists....stupid napster...you're about as cool as Fred Durst talking about rebellion and being the Pres of a record company.

  17. Re:Bit sad for the big names in hollywood.... on CGI About to Boom In Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Do the big names make the film? Nope, just look at Final Fantasy...that had some really big name voice talent....

  18. CGI Bandwagon on CGI About to Boom In Hollywood · · Score: 1

    I didn't know people were making movies about Common Gateway Interface....looks like it's time to get those perl skills up to snuff. I want on that bandwagon too!

  19. Re:Specs :: Odd memory and OS choices on 20 Factors That Will Change PCs In 2002 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, i have 512 right now...and most of the people i know have at least 512...most computers are coming standard with 256...and since people only trust current numbers X2, 512 should be coming up pretty soon as standard.

  20. Article fails to point out a valid point on Universal to Copyprotect All CDs · · Score: 1

    Not surprisingly this article fails to point out that although blank CD sales are higher than recorded CD sales, most of those CD's are being purchased by corporations. When i worked at Revenue Canada, we bought thousands of blank CD's for backups, and that was just one office. I would wager that most other companies are buying similar amounts for backing up data for users and themselves alike.

  21. the real issue here on Home Server Rooms? · · Score: 1

    The real issue isn't cooling during the cold canadian winters, it's cooling during the blistering canadian summers( man it gets hot here).

    You're best bet is to have some ceiling mounted A/c units for summer, and just open a window in the winter. if you have 2 windows in the room, then you're set.
