  1. The real reason... on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    Is this a spin-off from the episode where Seinfeld tries to beat a lie detector? "It's not a lie... if you believe it" Steve obviously believes it :)

  2. Re:Java on IBM Launching an Open Desktop Solution · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're talking about Wine, like how Google 'ported' Picassa to Linux.

  3. Unsafe is Safe? on Life Without Traffic Signs · · Score: 1

    Might as well pass a legislation mandating removal of all safety features like safety glass, seat belts and ABS brakes. And, also abolish the driving test system and remove the minimal driving age. :)

  4. MkLinux - Microkernel Linux on Tanenbaum-Torvalds Microkernel Debate Continues · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember this little gem circa 1998? It was the first port of Linux to Apple PowerMac. I remembered we had it installed on a top-of-the-line (at that time) PowerMac 9500 (133MHz PPC 604 with 48MB RAM). Seems like the project is still around. See www.mklinux.org

  5. Re:Fast AES on OpenBSD 3.5 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes, the new 600MHz version of Nehemiah runs fanless on the new CL6000 mini-itx server board.

  6. Elab-800 on Cheap PC Oscilloscopes - Any Recommendations? · · Score: 2, Informative

    A new pc-based scope with these functions, at US$495:
    - Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) 2-channels 80Msamples/sec
    - Logic Analyzer (LA) 16-channels
    - Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)
    - User Programmable Power Supply (UPPS) +/- 10V
    - Programmable Clock Output (1kHz - 150MHz)

  7. Use encrypted Fax on Secure Voice Communications While Travelling? · · Score: 1

    Use a fax. It's really straightforward and pocket size encryptors are readily available.

  8. Similar problem on Pressure-Induced Pains - Fact or Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Whew! At least I'm not alone. I'd been getting bad headaches before it rains for the past 2 years. The pain is kinda like my head is being pressed from all sides at the same time. The serverity varies from time to time. Sometimes it's just a dull pain, other times is can be like a big wham and I have to crash out. So far, the correlation is nearly 100%. My last 2 attacks, were just few days ago, when we had 2 storms after 2 weeks of dry spell. I do suffer from sinus problems and sensorineuronal hearing loss. And, I do sneeze quite bit when the weather changes. But, my doctor claims that the latter is giving me the headaches. Though my data suggests the wet local weather is a possible cause. Take a guess: the city I live in is the lighting capital of the world :). We get more thunderstorms per sq km than any other parts of the world.

  9. Even more details on China Develops Their Own CPU: The "Dragon Chip" · · Score: 1

    According to this article: http://it.sohu.com/83/39/it_article17053983.shtml 266MHz FSB 1.17GHz clock speed 32bit integer 64bit floating point 200MIPS 0.5W power consumption Comparable to a MIPS 5000 based SGI O2. The most interesting feature is the hardware buffer overflow protection. IMHO, it feels like a supercharged StrongARM or MIPS type architecture.

  10. Host it at your own premises on Making an Independent Web Site? · · Score: 1

    I think this is probably the best. Where I live, you can get a 256Kbps SDSL line for about US$150 a month, static IP and unlimited bandwidth. The startup cost is about the same. Get a public DNS service (see http://www.granitecanyon.com/) to host your domain and you're in business.

  11. WebLS on Simple-to-setup Expert System? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is a free tool, from Amzi, for putting together an expert system that's assessible through CGI. http://www.amzi.com/download/webls.htm According to Amzi this is not a supported tool, but I've found it to be sufficient for simple problems. For a full fledge solution go for their KnowledgeWright.

  12. Consider 3rd party middleware on Designing Multiplayer Game Engines? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I'm not sure what kind of strategy game you're doing, but if you're planning to make it scale well it's going to be a lot of HARD work. There're a lot of issues to tackle - server load balancing, bandwidth mixing and dead reckoning. If you're considering what features to build, look at the API provided by RTime www.rtimeinc.com. I find their model pretty comprehensive.
