  1. do we really need a bot for this? on HP Marries Inkjet and Robotic Technology to Cool Chips · · Score: 1

    Why not mount the spray gizmo inside the case with a temp sensor? building a robot that runs around being all liek "Chip Hot Danger!" ::Spray:: seems like overkill to me. you could even have all the sprayers connected by tubes in a rackmount style environment to a big old tank of the coolant. But I suppose the bot is definitly cooler.

  2. Re:so on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Its probably a generic blockign of robots in robots.txt to keep people from taking slashdot content. Of course maybe they don't want to see how fucked the HTML generated by slashcode is.

  4. Re:The Cause Revealed? on Linux Sales Down, But... · · Score: 1

    Gvid. Little gnome panel applet you click on it, list of resolutions. Or did no one ever teach you about Ctrl+Alt++ or Ctrl+Alt+-? You definitly do not need to run Xconfigurator to change the resolution. You should only have to run xconfigurator once, or if you get a new graphics card and/or monitor.

    Stupid "I think x/0 isn't infinity" I dunno what to call you because you obviously aren't a mathematician. Whatever happened to calculus? And limits and all that fun stuff?

    Now that is cool. Coming back reading the replies and offering to answer a question thatd didn't make the list. ::claps::

  7. Re:Slashdotted... and I have a question! on Wireless Internet In An Off-Grid House · · Score: 1

    Then what about chain link fence style arrangement? (With smaller holes) It seems kind of ridiculous to me that one of the major barriers to the adoption of solar power is hail. I don't claim to be an expert on solar power but when I see solar panels they never seem to have any sort of protection. Is it prohibitively expensive to protect the panels? Seriously I don't get it.

  8. What happens on Autonomous Robots' Desert Race · · Score: 1

    when the robots escape? How far will they make it? All the way to a parking lot to be run over...oh no wait that was another story. Sorry.

  17. Re:Link to "Memento" the novella and comments on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    Theres a difference between serializing a novel and publishing as you write. I am sure Dickens work was complete when they serialized it, merely inducing people to pick up the next copy of the magazine, book, etc. A blog based novel doesn't lend itself well to revision, or consistency even. Once something is out there its out there. I have no problems with serializing a work provided its complete in the first place. I don't think a blog can be an effective medium for a novel unless ala Dracula the novel is told thru blog entries.

  18. Re:D&D sucks on Dungeons and Dragons Knowledge Compendium · · Score: 1

    Hey i'd liek to say that I am a moron geek/nerd. I am also drunk but goddamn I love D&D. The really question is is this recent enuff to actually get modded down?

  19. Re:Link to "Memento" the novella and comments on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. Writing a novel in a blog (as the author is apparently doing) doesn't really work. Creating a fictional blog OTOH ala Dracula could work, well even if the writing was good. Just writing a novel on a blog site breaks up the narrative unnesscessarily. Could you write a novel using fortune cookie fortune slips? yes. should you? probably not.

    yeah no way old BBSes had 2400 baud modems. Simply because my first modem was a "state of the art" 2400 baud modem and I am waay too young to remember BBSes in there heyday. We used Prodigy. w00t.

  24. So I guess its time for a new frontend on Audio Format Listening Tests Concluded · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I guess grip will have to use Genre info from CDDB to decide what to encode the the files as now. I wonder if you coudl set up something to optimize individual tracks. Like scan a wav and pick the best codec for the frequencies used in the audio.
