  1. Re:a discrepancy (IMHO) on High Definition DVD · · Score: 1

    That is truth, but the quality advantage of the new High Definition DVD will make it more attractive comparing to 3 CDs of DivX.

    No, no, condensation occurs only on the colder surfaces. The PC will be much warmer than inside of the fridge, so all the water will stay on the fridge.

  4. Use small fridge on Computers That Thrive in Salty, Humid Environments? · · Score: 1

    I would put the computer into a fridge, put all the wiring through hole on a side, effectively sealing it from the harsh environment, and cooling at the same time. It may be very affordable option.

    Slashdot can benefit financially from mirroring those sites, by displaying some banners.

    Of course the legal stuff with the sites owners has to be resolved before mirroring, and it takes some time and efforts.

    It is all CmdrTaco's fault. If not the smart filters he develops, I would be able to draw you some. Instead I get those "to many garbage characters" messages.

  14. Re:Do you realize that you are trolling? on Borland Releases Kylix 3.0 for Delphi and C++ · · Score: 1
    And now they do. That's why it is the news. They produce very robust, slick, and professional compilers, and IDEs. Personally I love them.
