  1. They've already had a minesweaper episode on US Army to Test Laser Based Mine Clearing Device · · Score: 1

  2. Re:Model 921 will include HDTV recording on DishPVR 721 Review · · Score: 1

    I was basing that on the link provided above.

    > * Down-rezzed HD material will be sent at 540i, which should be a bit better than SD (at least, that is their spin on it).

    Also all the current HDTV satellite receivers have a down-rez flag that the provider can set. I don't believe they're currently using it, but I don't want to spend my money on a future crippled product.

  3. Re:Model 921 will include HDTV recording on DishPVR 721 Review · · Score: 1

    Seems to downrez to 540i, so I won't
    be buying one.

  4. TurboCit Salamandria on Remembering the BBS · · Score: 1

    anyone else out there?

  5. Solaris??? Please?? on Opera 6.0 for Linux Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Can we get a Solaris release up to 6.0 now? Please? Its really strange having 6.0 at home, but 5.0 at work. Different "issues"
    with different sites.

    And its pretty much prevented me from purchasing it as well...

  6. Re:How they did it on Smart Cards Vulnerable to Photo-Flash Attacks? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It's not prostitution if your karma is 50.

    No, then you're just a cheap slut.

  7. Re:Someone should tell Matt... on Matt Groening on Futurama, Simpsons and Fox · · Score: 1

    And surprise witnesses! Each more
    surprising than the last!

  8. Re:HDTV Tivo on TiVo Series 2 Review · · Score: 1

    I'm the opposite. I already have my HDTV, but I won't buy a TIVO until it supports HD rec/playback.

  9. Re:HDTV Tivo on TiVo Series 2 Review · · Score: 1

    Then put it in the mode with black bars on the side! ;-) The Toshiba mentioned above defaults to gray, but you can change that.

  10. Re:Well... on Black Is The New Beige · · Score: 1

    Why? Pretty much every pre-built computer does everything I want, so why not care about aesthetics?

  11. Why not Chemical X? on The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements · · Score: 1

    I have a Powerpuff Girls comic book at work!

  13. How do I remove my account? on SourceForge Terms of Service Change, Users Unhappy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I dug around the account maintenance page, but didn't see any way to delete my account.

  14. Put wheels on it! on Time Canada Shows New iMac · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long it will take someone to put
    wheels on it so it can follow you around like a puppy.

    > It isn't all that bad.

    What are you smoking and why aren't you sharing?

  16. Re:First Saturday _was_ AMAZING on Computer/Tech Flea Markets? · · Score: 1

    It pretty much went downhill after the city kicked everyone out from under the highway bridge, though.

    Now its just a commercial sale.

  17. Not Unions, Agents!! on IT Unions? · · Score: 1

    I need some ruthless agent to go in and get me every cent!

    It would probably be easier if I didn't actually like my boss.... ;-)

    How would you synchronize the audio clocks on
    all the speakers?

  20. Re:Yes, we all hate them, but on VeriSign Usurps .com · · Score: 2

    Why did you go with register.com? Atleast
    go with another competitor with a clue.

    All my domains are now with joker.com. When
    I had to change DNS, I logged into the web site,
    and easily changed the server. I got a confirmation letter 5 seconds later, and the change was immediately evident at corenic.net.

    One domain was still with netsol. It took two
    days for the change to take effect. I immediately moved that domain to joker/corenic.

  21. Re:Anti-Smoking Laws... on Do You Consider Your Social Life When You Choose A Career? · · Score: 1

    > Well, if for no other reason, I would consider moving to California because of the anti-smoking laws.

    No kidding! Here in Austin, its only in restaurants, but its very nice. I was stunned
    when I was in another city and the hostess asked me my smoking preference.

  25. Re:Yeah but, chip making isn't as easy as writing on Open-Source Processors · · Score: 1

    Obviously you've never made a chip before.

    The logic portion is exactly like writing
    code, you're just writing in verilog.

    And there's plenty of room for self-expression
    and style.
