  1. Re:APOSTROPHE on Talk It Over With Captain Crunch · · Score: 1

    And if you're going to try to sound like a humorless idiot, you've got a really nice head start. Rules exist to be broken! Even grammar rules. I whistle in your general direction.

    Before you know it, Canada will have a Manley Prime Minister, and then all this will change!

    (I think he's in line to be the next Liberal leader - Manley. John Manley.)

    Your only hope is ...

    Canada.

    Scary, huh? We might have to send in the giant beavers to liberate you.

    Caesar is a name, not a title. We can just call him King George the Monkey-Faced.

  5. Re:How long ... sounds like FUD on Windows Media for Embedded Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    It would simply be more "useful" on linux. Why steal something from a Windows box when it already exists in Windows legitimately?

    ... until it gets ripped off a box and distributed for general use?

  7. Re:Let's not! on Researching The Open Source Way · · Score: 2, Informative

    That would be cool.

    Of course, that's kind of what I'm doing - government-funded opensource development. Wee :) Not research funds, though.

  8. Let's not! on Researching The Open Source Way · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's live in a society where all source is closed, and programmers get paid for their contributions!

    (And then fired, and forced to work on opensource projects to keep their skills up while looking for work.)

    Oh, wait, we're there already.

    Server knowledge be damned, it's the pipe that gets overloaded in most cases.

    And then it could sell the footage to other sources, and pay you royalties on your image. Or skip that last part.

    But the real question is ...

    ... was the UDP packet a redhead?

  13. Re:I just want on LCD Display/Image Capture Device · · Score: 1

    I still have a DataLink somewheres, and the software too. Haven't used it in ages. And I think Windows NT's different hardware access means I can't use it any more (as it seemed to write directly to the video card).

    Well, I think so, Brain - but where are we going to find bovine-sized pantyhose this late at night?

    The only "really cool" thing I can think of for this technology is the aformentioned vidoeconferencing applications.

    It's Star Trek style. Admit it. A viewscreen like this would behave exactly like the screens in Star Trek.

    Thanks to our moderately socialist government, you actually get paid to live in those territories ... but I don't know if emigrants get that. You could start looking at the Government Canada website, if you want.

    It appears that Texas is 700,000 KM, approximately. Still smaller than BC, but also larger than Iraq. Ah well. :)

    Uhm, pretend I meant "alone" by single.

    Specifically, I mean British Columbia. Based on the assumption that BC is 934K square miles, and Texas is around 450K square miles. But that might be wrong, last time I went looking I couldn't find the surface area of Texas.

    BC is twice as big as Iraq, though.

    Tons. In fact, just one province single is twice as large as Texas.
