  1. Too Expensive on Dell Introduces Laptop With WUXGA · · Score: 1

    I bet they're going to be relatively expensive though - the only link I could find on google - Looks like it will be

  2. Not such a good insurance policy on Do You Write Backdoors? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Backdoors can be a good insurance policy, and their theoretical presence might guarentee your continued employment, but if your employers find them, I can guarentee you won't be working there for much longer :P

  3. Not going to change anything on UK Spam Controlled by UK's Advertising Standards Agency · · Score: 1

    Just like that 'opt-out' email spam policy with the mandatory unsubscribe link at the bottom of emails - people will either disregard or ignore it.

  4. Re:MOD PARENT -1 TROLL on MiniDV As A Backup Medium · · Score: 1

    lmfao

  5. An Explaination of what this means on Riemann Hypothesis Proved? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Can be found here

  6. What the fuck on The Next Level of X-Box Modding · · Score: -1, Troll

    Could anyone explain to me if there is any point at all to doing this? And before you start, it isn't faster/cheaper/neater/more anti-m$...

  7. F*cking linux on Linux in High School Labs · · Score: 1

    Oooh look, it's a relatively small establishment deciding to use a mediocre OS rather than a dire one, lets all cream ourselves quick because we're sponsored by a company dependant on it. LINUX IS AN AVERAGE OPERATING SYSTEM AT BEST, AND UNTIL YOU REALISE THAT IT WONT GET ANY BETTER.

  8. Useless anyway on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 1

    Ok, supposed Microsoft do sign the current linux distro binary for the XBOX - is this going to be any use in the long term. I mean, if you want to change the kernel, or even the motd, you're going to need a whole new signiture. What they want is permanent, continuing support from microsoft for XBOX linux, and thats never going to happen because 1 months linux development would probably mean more signiture issues than everything released on the XBox to date.

  9. Re:stupid people, fast computers on 65 CPUs From 100 MHz to 3066 MHz · · Score: 1

    You offering? I Bet they'd love it...

  10. Re:stupid people, fast computers on 65 CPUs From 100 MHz to 3066 MHz · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Solidox you big lamo, you spend all your time on IRC anyway - I know your types :P

  11. Re:(S)he didn't ask for advice on FreeBSD 5.0 Developer Preview #2 · · Score: 1

    For anyone who actually cares, the system is being used for penetration testing in a noise-limited enviroment - fans of any kind aren't an option, so we're looking at zal(l)man heatsinks at the moment, but they wont fit the duron.

  12. SMP Cooling HLT's on FreeBSD 5.0 Developer Preview #2 · · Score: 2

    I'm thinking about running new FreeBSD on my (uncooled) Dual Xeon system - I haven't uptil now because of the lack of second CPU HLT instructions - Does anyone know what second CPU Idling is like in 5.0/5.0DP2?

    Thanks

  13. Re:Public or private key? on NSA Approves First 802.11b Product for Secret Data · · Score: 1

    Reversing DES shouldn't be a problem - it's in the specification of the algorythm - decrypting is useful. If, on the other hand you mean she broke the algorythm, youre still wrong.

  14. Re:Hmm... on Stan Lee Sues Marvel Comics · · Score: 1

    Have you /any/ idea whats going on? Read the article?

  15. All your auctions are belong to us. on EBay Subject of Patent Action · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  16. Re:Nice try intel. on Intel Demos 4.7-GHz Pentium · · Score: 1

    What? Dude, check out a book on basic physics 101, and start at the front cover...

  17. Re:Nice try intel. on Intel Demos 4.7-GHz Pentium · · Score: 1

    Don't you think INTEL would realise this? I mean, were you basing that statement on ANYTHING?

  18. I used to hate flash.... on Flash Games as Political Commentary · · Score: 1

    Because of it's bloated transfers, and awkward interface into existing browser structures. However, it recently occoured to me, that this is more because of the fact that Flash is integrated into existing browsers. HTTP really isn't designed for multiple, branched file downloads - 1 compressed file is much more suiting to it. How much better would flash be if it had it's own 'browser' which didn't rely on plugins to include content, and it's own 'http protocol', which cut out all the unneeded crap...

  19. Sub based Ethernet on eSuds · · Score: 1

    I bet you could make a water/sud based implementation of ehternet to control it. And maybe a 240v overcharge to electricute fscks who try and steal your clothes...

  20. Why buy things at all? on Build a Cisco PIX for 800 Australian Dollars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thanks to this insightful article, I've realised the true money-saving potenial of stealing.

  21. They should have kept quiet on Palm Ships With 12-bit Screen, Says 16-Bit On Box · · Score: 1

    I bet no one would have gone looking for the 5000 missing colours... :P
