  1. Re:great employer on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's kinda like working for Apple, minus the personal humiliation by Steve Jobs.

  2. Re:Probably just a student... on UT Austin Hit By Massive Security Breach · · Score: 1

    I swear everything is about sex with you, $$$$$exyGal ;)

  3. Triple E Enlargements on Triple E Entanglement Lends Hope to Quantum Computer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Am I the only one who saw TRIPLE E enlargements, and didn't think at all about electrons?

  4. Re:Other advice about Germany on International Connectivity · · Score: 1
    If you want an English-speaking pub, look for an "Irish Pub". It's a chain (I think). There are quite a lot now; they stock Guiness too.
    If I was in Germany, why would I want to drink Guiness? Try Erdinger or Paulaner Dunkel.
  5. Cooling on 1.8TB Of Disk Space In A (Semi-)Normal PC · · Score: 1

    I like how he has it sitting right next to the radiator for good cooling!

  6. Where bad things come from.. on More Ways to Blow Things Up · · Score: 1

    While I understand a share this guys interest in blowing things up, it is from a mind like this that the truly great weapons come from. I'm sure a young Openhiemer(sp?) would have had a web page like this.

  7. Re:Interesting naming scheme(offtopic) on George Lucas Consolidates his Empire · · Score: 1

    Completely offtopic, but the last company I worked for the CTO called himself "The Wizard", said that on his business cards and everything.

  8. This is just a ploy... on 85 Big Ideas that Changed the World · · Score: 1

    ..to get 85 page views.

    Geez, they can't put more than one on a page!

  9. Re:Err, no... on Still More RIAA News · · Score: 1

    My bad. I did indeed misread the cash and non-cash distribution items. Still like you said, who chooses who they give the money to. And whose to say there are not just giving the money back to themselves? I mean they are giving the money to music orginazations, and what are those people going to do with the money, BUY CDS. At least some of that is going to roll right back to 'em. It's garbage, they should have to send checks to every claiment, no matter how small (the check not the claiment)

  10. This settlement is crap on Still More RIAA News · · Score: 2, Informative

    The total amount alotted for disbursement (sp?) is 75 millon and if the total per claim is less than $5, they don't have to send out cash, just product. So if more than 15 millon claims are filed (likely) then some non-profit is just going to get a bunch of left over Moby cd's, I doubt that any cash will every even change hands.
    Read the settlement, its a hoot.

  11. Re:profit ? on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think Crocodile Dundee held the title for a short period of time as well.

  12. JAVA JAVA JAVA on Ars Technica on Hyperthreading · · Score: 1

    I think alot of people are missing where this will help out alot. Java servers. Java systems under high loads benefit alot from multi-threading, and this can only help.

  13. EFF on Google sued as PetsWarehouse Lawsuit Continues. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't this sound like a job for the EFF to defend these people?

  14. Re:an external tuner *has* to work on HDTV and Its Impending Problems? · · Score: 1

    I hate to admit it, but I have a TV with a UHF tuner in it, in my living room. It's from 1984.

  15. Sorry.. on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 1

    That's GEICO not Gecko!

  16. Re:To serve and protect whom? on Did MS Lobbying Stop NSA Work On SELinux? · · Score: 1

    You realize private corporations do a much better job than the post office, right? I mean really, who uses the USPS to ship packages anymore? Why not? Because compared to UPS and FedEx, they suck. If either of those two were allowed to ship regular mail, they would do a better job, at lower rates, and be profitable. Instead, we are stuck with the USPS.

  17. Is this new tech? on Animated Ads in a Subway Near You · · Score: 1

    Is this really new? A Marta station here in Atlanta has had an ad like this for Dasani water since Jan. 2001, I though it was cool the first 3 times I saw it, now it's just annoying.
    -G.

  18. MMMMMM, fried /.er's on Do-it-yourself UPS · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Really, I love fried /.er's, with mashed taters and corn. mmmmmmmmmhh.

    Although, the smell is hard to get rid of.

  19. Clear Channel owns Atlanta on Music Industry Seeks Payola Inquiry · · Score: 1

    Clear channel has 7 stations in the Atlanta area> If you don't want to listen to country or rap, you have to listen to Clear Channel. It is my understanding that they also have a hand in making sure new stations do not get licensed. -G.

  20. Re:Bid on Ebay on Study Shows Large Space Tourism Market · · Score: 1

    I find it funny that the person who currently has the high bid , previously bought cell phone parts.

  21. ADA, ADA, ADA ,ADA on Bitter Java · · Score: 1

    I really like ADA, not ADA95 with objects either. Good old ADA83 , MMMMMMMM, yummy.

  22. Generators at 1000 RPM? on White LEDs for a Brighter World · · Score: 1

    25 Small Permanent Magnet DC motors to be used as generators - at around 1000 rpm the generator should be capable of supplying 7.5 Volts and 1Amp to at least two batteries being charged in parallel: $50 each - total $1250
    Who can pedal at 1000 RPM?

  23. Re:PCI? on ATi's New All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 128MB · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have a PCI version of the AIW Radeon in a p3 667 and it works very well. These cards are all over for around $120.

  24. 5(name) - 1(use) - 2(number) on Server Naming Conventions? · · Score: 1

    This gives you 5 chars for a name. And really do you need more than 1 char for use? w - web f - ftp d - database l - login etc.

  25. Re:Bah on Liquid Nitrogen Cooling at Home? · · Score: 1

    Might I suggest mineral oil. It's non-conductive, not that expensive, and doesn't have the wonderful smell of a motor oil. I have actually seen a whole motherboard immersed in the stuff before.
