  1. Not like youd think... on Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented · · Score: 1

    Just about everything nowadays runs on XP and OSX, i dont know of any peripheral, mice mostly (except ps/2) or usb pen drives even that dont just plug in and work with both, or require a simple driver instalation (USB mass storage) for both. I've never tried installing a printer or scanner on MacOS (9 or X) but i assume its the same headache or maybe less than windows. Although i have no idea about Mac networking. They're really not all that different. Anyways, AFAIK the only people who expect computers to "just work" are mac users.

  2. Hooper X's Black Rage on JBoss Caught in Anonymous Posting Scheme · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hooper X: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, is introduced USUALLY by my white artist names. They got SLAPPED with racist names that singled them out as Negros! Now--my book, "White-Hating Coon", don't have any of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleequa and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet while all you European motherfuckers were all hiding out in caves 'n shit, terrified of the sun. He's a strong role-model that a young black reader can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell ya: the chickens are coming home to roost, y'all. The black man is no longer going to be playing the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We're keeping it real! And we're going to get respect by any means necessary.
    Holden (Ben Affleck): Ah, c'mon, that's a bunch of horseshit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy, y'know, he got to fly the Millenium Falcon! What's the matter with you!
    Hooper: Who said that?
    Holden: (standing up) I did. Lando Calrissian is a positive role-model in the realm of science fiction fantasy.
    Hooper: Hey, FUCK Lando Calrissian!
    (Holden shrugs and sits down)
    Hooper: Uncle-Tom nigger, heh. It's always some white boy got to invoke the holy trinity. Bust this! Those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother-man down--even in a galaxy far far away. Check this shit. You got cracker farmboy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy blond hair blue eyes. Then you got Darth Vader, blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian god!
    Banky (Jason Lee): (standing up) What's a nubian?
    Hooper: Shut the fuck up! (Banky sits down) Now. Vader, he's a spiritual brother, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a lightsaber, and the boy decides HE'S gonna run the whole fucking universe! Gets a whole KLAN of whites together and they go bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star! Now what the fuck do you call that?
    Banky: Intergalatic civil war?
    Hooper: Gentrification!! They gonna drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote-unquote safe for white folks! In "Jedi," the most insulting installment when Vader's beautiful black visage is SULLIED when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty old white man! They trying to tell us that deep inside, we all wants to be WHITE!!!
    Banky: Well, isn't that true?
    (Hooper pulls out a gun, releases the safety, kicks over the podium and shoots Banky several times, and Banky falls, clutching his chest. All the other speakers and audience members (excluding Holden and Alyssa who we are about to meet) dive for cover or scatter screaming as...)
    Hooper: (shooting into the air): Black rage!!! Black rage!!! I kill all white folks I lay my motherfuckin' eyes on!!

    Old phreaking scam. Get yourself a nice 900 number, charge like $10 a minute or some obscene amount like that. Post it on the internet (BBSs at the time) to give it some legitimacy, then beige box a buncha houses (homeade linemans handset into the exterior TNI) to your 900 number, kaching!

  10. Yeah... on The Logic Behind Metric Paper Sizes · · Score: 1

    10 hours a day, 100 minutes an hour, 100 seconds a minute, 100000 seconds a day, makes more sense than the prayr schedual of 11th century monks or whatever... Lunch at around 5:00, tv shows run 25 or 50 minutes, movies around an hour... 1 metric second = .864 "standard" seconds. A metric calander would be trickier, since 1 revolution of the planet = 1 day and 1 year = 365.25 days, no simple divisor (10 months, 5 of 36 days and 5 of 37, keep ther leap year?) and the month now is loosly based on the lunar cycle.

    The cube meter is the volume of one ton of fresh water at sea level at the equator at zero degrees Celcius.
    A standard gravity is part of the definition, so from that you can get a mass.

    Are you suggesting we make these robots capable of enforcing water regulations when they find violations? Cuz that'd be cool, especially if water polution were made a capital offense...

  18. Re:Standard Cell Sizes? on Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I'd just like to point out, most batteries are round. Open your laptop battery there will be cylindrical shells, bust open a 9 volt, there are 6 1.5v cylinders a little smaller than a AAA. I think very vew batteires are actually rectangular on the inside, (Lith-Ion, Lith-Polymer?)A cylinder is a more efficient storage shape for whatever reason, but its not so space efficient...

    If their cheap enough double up the sensors, but it should be pretty simple looking at the logs with a timestamp who went where, if someone passes sensor 1 at 1:00, sensor 2 @ 1:30 etc, sensor 4 @ 2:00, then someone passes sensor 3 at 2:30, sensor 2 at 3:00, sensor 1 at 3:30. I dont know if i explained it well enough, but its pretty simple... Although i'm the type of person who backs up one axel over those traffic counters if the oportunity presents itself, so it could get screwed up with people messing with them intentionally.

    How many aditional people will die because of air polution caused by extra cars on the road? For the most part those graduated rules are idiotic, and each once can be traced to a specific high profile news story in the area within the past few years. I broke my restrictions the first day i got my liscense. How you may ask? Giving friends a ride home from school... Isn't one car on the road, even if it is filled with *gasp* teenagers, better than 3 cars on the road, for any reason?

  25. They already have this... on Sony PC/DVR Incorporates 7 Tuners & 1TB HD · · Score: 1

    They have this some places, TW Digital cable here in SE Wisconsin has a feature called on demand, it costs a little bit extra per "channel", and the movies are an independant charge, but its well worth it. Basically you get acess to the entire season, and sometimes past seasons, of any show on HBO or showtime and some others, i dont have it personally, but a firend of mine was telling me they have Monty Python and stuff... Anywho, you select what you want, wait less than a minute for it to download. There it is, no commercials, what you want, when you want. I think more and more programming is heading towards this, which would be great IMHO, seing as how i ussually dont watch much TV, but just download the entire season of a show i like and watch it on here.
