  2. Re:VPNs on Apple Updates, Cripples iTunes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well it's not like apple ever made anything good ever anyway, needlenards. Apple just stole iTunes from Microsoft anyway, jackass. Apple computers still can't do networking anyway you big ugly fagget. It's not like you can just put any PC hard drive in a Apple and have it work, and mac hard drives are more expensive, dillnoggin. And why would you use a Virtual Pr0n Network anyway (VPN) you fat jerk.

    Sorry, my karma was getting to high. PLEASE MOD DOWN

    We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these four things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) Everything is being recorded #4) You've just rooted my server, before continuing your hacking please read the complete TOS in /usr/share/tos. If you do not agree to the TOS you must stop hacking my server immediately. root#

    Ummm...try the recovery time of the CCD. They can charge up really really really quick- but then they need a bit of recovery time in the dark before the next frame.

  9. 20 computer years =~ 6 months real time on First HDTV Camcorder · · Score: 1

    "With digital cameras at regular stores with resolution over 5 megapixel it makes you wonder why it took so long to produce."

    Although traditionally HD heads are rediculously expensive the real hold up is storage. That's why it'll be a while before we see 1080i consumer cameras. the CCDs are there but it'll be a while (ok maybe six months) before storage is small enough and cheap enough to drop into a consumer cam.

  13. Consideration for heat on Building a Stained Glass Computer Case? · · Score: 1

    Heat is a big concern for you if you want a quiet machine. You should totally underclock it- I know it sound unethical here on slashdot but underclocking saves a lot of cool air. I had to underclock my P4 'cause some some caps were humming and suprise suprise I hardly notice the difference in daily activities. There's no difference in Mozilla and my mail pops up just as fast.

    Now truth be told I also do quite a bit of video editting for a media group, but I do all that on my Mac (which might also sound unethical to some)...but that's another discussion entirely.

    Windows is so dumb, it is like so dumb. What I mean to say is that if Oreck can lift a bowling ball with it's suckage, Windows 2003 could lift all of Russia, France, Germany's balls or maybe their bowling balls because they show no signs of testicularosity. It is a shame that it wasn't completed in time to be used on Iraq, who would have thought a 8x10.2x2.35 inch box would be more effective than a nuke.

  17. The Distributed Search Engine on Building a Bigger Search Engine · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's kind of funny and a bit ironic that search engines are generally used to search information from a central repository and Grub uses a distributed network to index pages. It's almost like having a distributed google cache (that's updated more frequently). Perhaps a better idea would be to invent a crawling daemon that runs on each server with a standard protocol that reports to a central server the relevence of search terms (hey it's DNS for search terms!!) - to bad it would be heavily abused (mostly by Buy Now, Free Money and Pron avenues I suppose).

    Ok now tell me that it's already been done, 'cause I'm pretty sure it has (and probably by Microsoft for ad money).

    Well it's an idea that might be more efficient and updatable than Grub anyway.

  21. What does Unlimited mean? on Have You Really Read Your ISP's TOS? · · Score: 0

    I was proud to be the recipiant of a letter from my ISP informing me that I was among the "Top 50 Users."

    I looked down further to see what I had won but sadly they just wanted to double my yearly fee. I was like "whoa." So I called them and asked what kind of plan it was I signed up for. They said that since I was in the top 50 I would have to pay more or move to DSL (and then pay more). Well I was all thinking maybe you know, this dsl sounds pretty nice, pretty nice But sadly it will not be available in my area "until ever." As the rep explained. So I looked at my statement which said I signed up for something called "Unlimited 56k Dialup Access*" The asterix said something about the 56k not really being capable of going that fast. So I asked the rep what Unlimited means. He said it means up to a point, I fired back like umm you mean "with bounds"? He said no not really.

    The trouble was this overworked billing bloak didn't know what his company was advertising. He explained that if my modem stays connected for more than 7 hours a day it causes damage to their modems. Needless to say that it crap for crap. So then he said it didn't do damage but it disallowed other users to dial up. But that;s not even in the TOS I explained.

    Dunt dun DUNNNN- The TOS the Terms Of Service- or Talk Of dirty rotten Shist depending on which end of the phone you're on. So he says he'll show me where. 1 minute later I'm on hold. 8 Minutes later he says it's the limited bandwidth clause section 6, which I hapeened to be very farmiliar with. I explained to him the perils of dialup and how real it was ABSOLUTLY IMPOSSIBLE to consume any significant amount of bandwidth on a 56k dialup, gee_willicars them city folk-a jus duna untersand!

    He agreed. I asked for the Manger and he said the only person above him was the CEO who was needless to say "Out to Lunch" or if you're on the other end of the phone holy crap I'd better cover my ass.

    Well it ended up this way, I called back and asked for Susan, the CEO 8 times one day an hour apart, but she was out to lunch from 9 till 5. I though about driving over there and looking for the overweight broad (See I know shes overweight because she's always eating lunch) but since I'm just a really really lazy person I just canned my service there and started an account at Lanset who despite having a really awful website and horrid DNS servers have been pretty good to me with 60 MB free hosting, no setup fees $96/year and I can have my whole lan sharing the connection legally.

    Ok bye. and oh yeah to answer the question I did read the TOS before purchases from both ISP's. InReach just eats.

  24. Edscape Navigator, my dog, and crap for brains. on Flash Applications That Can Be Used Online and Off · · Score: 0

    It's called flash player and it's been out since the name changed to flash (was it 2.0). With Flash Player you can play flash stuff online or offline. You can even save information locally (up to a user specified limit). I wrote a flash browser back in 2000 (when flash became really unpopular on slashdot for some reason). It was simple put in a url to a swf and it loaded and scaled to full screen. It even had a progress bar, history (not persistant since this was flash 5 and couldn't really do much for file storage without the help of cookies- bleh) and the works pretty much except no css or javascript.

    So I just published that to a self contained flash Player and called it Edscape Navigator after my dog. because realostically it was a total piece of crap for brains.

    Course there was never a Linux version, it only ran in MacOS8-9 and Windows. Otherwise I'd probably be a billionaire by now.

    Actuslly I'd only expect to see more file handling ability- and really isn't this what director is for; after all it even loads flash natively.
