  1. hacking on Biohackathon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lets just say "hack" or "hacker" a ton of times watch the people swarm there!

  2. Re:Need and want: on Two Approaches to the Next-Generation Desktop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually what users *need* is faster HDD read/write time. 3 GHz will not make much of a difference for the users pulling the data from a 5400 RPM and running it on a $20 OEM motherboard.

    the link to the 3500 amd the 3675 p4 can be found here http://slashdot.org/articles/02/01/17/1823233.shtm l

  4. Overclocking on Two Approaches to the Next-Generation Desktop · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am partly curious what kind of OC'ing results you will be able to get out of the 2666 MHz P4 w/ the 533 Mhz RDRAM, I would like to see it't benchmarks compared to the OC'd 2200 (to 3760 MHz) w/ slower FSB that was posted not so long ago.

    but I usually won't visit the page and the sites are not always hosted on legit accounts, the spammer is not necessarily the person stuck with the bandwidth bill.

    unless they have a banner and are being paid by impressions. If they do and are spamming the web site email the advratising co. they are using for the banner and they can often get out of paying the spammer money for the impressions.

  7. shameless plug on Fighting Spam on the Home Front · · Score: 1

    PocoMail is an email program I've been using for a while that has a gret junk mail filter and things like html image loading can be turned off to prevent spammers for sending webbugs (clear images) to track active email accounts, it has other cool features as well but that'd be (-1, Offtipic)

  8. PHPnuke is another decent weblog setup on Running Weblogs With Slash · · Score: 2, Informative

    PHPnuke is a worthy open-source mention here, diff being it's PHP instead of Perl, is possibly a bit more user friendly, but lacks the level of security and performance that slashcode has to offer.

  9. The picture on the BBC page on Unintended Results From U.S. Hardware Dumps In Asia · · Score: 1

    caption should read: 3 men loading pirated copies of 2k server on the new open relay cluster.

  10. Pompei's MIT website on Targeted Sound Beams · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pompei's website hase more detailed information of this here: http://web.media.mit.edu/~pompei/spotlight/ here is a brief description from the site. Technology: Because it is impossible to generate extremely narrow beams of audible sound without extremely large loudspeaker arrays, we instead generate the sound indirectly, using the nonlinearity of the air to convert a narrow beam of ultrasound into a highly directive, audible beam of sound. The device transmits a narrow beam of ultrasound (blue), which, due to the inherent nonlinearity of the air itself, distorts (changes shape) very slightly as it travels. This distortion creates, along with new ultrasonic frequencies, audible artifacts (green) which can be mathematically predicted, and therefore controlled. By constructing the proper ultrasonic beam, this nonlinearity can be used to create, within the beam itself, an audible sound beam containing any sound desired. This is presently done in real-time using low cost circuitry, a specially designed amplifier, and transducers developed at MIT specifically for this project.

    I will agree with you on this, sometimes clicking "X replies beneath your current threshold." links or on replies takes me back to the slashdot main page. But I believe CowboyNeal is the is the correct contact for bug reports. email addy is pater@/.
