  1. Crash Kill Zone! on USAF Readies Laser of Death · · Score: 1

    THere is a weapon like this already. It is used to shoot down nukes and such. the thing they don't tell you is that these lasers are powered by some nastie chemicals. When ever the laser fires it releases them and if one of the planes crashes there is a 2 mile kill zone form these toxic chemicals. That is a cool weapon in it self, I fly over to shoot you with my laser, you go'nna die if you shoot me down or not!

  2. Is it just the compiler? on Borland C++ For Linux · · Score: 1

    If so, Intel's compiler for linux is nice and makes things run alot faster. If you haven't check it out and are looking to make a program run faster it will help.
    I heard libDSP now compiles with icc, but I know the kernel doesn't yet.

  3. DoS attacks are Mircosoft's Marketing at work on ISP Forced Out of Business by DoS · · Score: 1

    And this is a fine example. Mircosoft cost money right. If you are an ISP with losts of money you are fine. You can buy all the M$ crap you want and hire all the M$ certed people you can. You get bandwith peaks, so what. A systems is down, he you are running a M$ product that is the best and your clients will allow this. Now take the ISP who has little cash. He runs a free OS, cause he just cant afford anything else. Well he get a spike in traffic and blamo, he gets charged up the wazo from his uplink. A system goes down and the client realizes you get what you pay for. The ISP has to close up shop. So where does M$ fit into all of this? Well they have know for a while that being the most used and most saturated OS has it advantages. From that no one can swtch to anthing else. They are stuck. Back it up with Marketing that says yours is the best, or will be, don't buy anything else that is better now. Have some security holes in your OSs to allows DoSs to happen and boom you can blast away your compition in no time. So in actuality there Security PR problem is a Marketing solution.

  4. I can do 1G to less than 1k already! on ZeoSync Makes Claim of Compression Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1k count=1000k
    bzip2 -9 bigfile
    ls -l bigfile
    753 bigfile.bz2

    Nice huh?? Now put a few of these big files in the kernel tree and see what people say.

    But really, this sound like the next wave of .com's and VCs has hit. And it is just what America needs to pull out of this slump that was caused by the last bunch of .com's and VCs.

    And hey everyone don't forget to vote this one for Wiered's vaporware top 10.

  5. What about www.jedit.org on First Thoughts on the Eclipse IDE? · · Score: 1

    There are even screen shots there.
    Or am I missing somthing, does Eclipse offer something more?
