  1. Thats odd... on Knoppix 3.3 Update, 3.4 C't Edition Are Out · · Score: 1

    My comp sci teacher today was asking em some questions about linux, he just got a hand me down g3 iMac and was inquiring about linux on it, i told him about yellow dog, but i wasn't sure if there was a live distro for ppc. Could anyone point me to a PPC version of knoppix or something?

  2. Re:IPO means i gotta find a new web-browser.. on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, M$ has told us that IE7 wont be out until longhorn is. So we have at least one, probably two years until then, which means for browsers with built in tabs and pop up blocking, people will have to go elsewhere. Not that that's a bad thing...

  3. Why magnify... on A Microbe's-Eye View of Beer · · Score: 1

    When you can get a squishy giant beer microbe...

  4. Re:Good, Bad & Ugly on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 1

    Yeah, i'm always hitting ctrl+s on my paper at the end of a lecture taking notes.

  5. Re:And the photo store on Requiem For The Record Store · · Score: 1
  6. Video Stores will be around for a while... on Requiem For The Record Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Video stores will stick around becuase sometimes people just need a movie to watch. I was out to dinner with friends last night and somone was talking about the evining with kevin smith special, and we were like, what the hell, lets go rent it. Thats what rental places will cater to, spur of the moment type things. Netflix is nice, but if you dont know what you want in advance it cant beat wandering the ailes trying to decide on a movie for that nite. Until VOD services get better(speed, selection and widespread) there will still be a blockbuster on the corner. Most popular movies it would be easy enough to download it p2p and output it to my tv, but even with my high speed cable connection it still takes at least 40 minutes to download a 700mb divx dvd rip, its a lot quicker to walk over to blockbuster.

  7. Re:US bills do have UV strips. on HP Discusses Anti-Counterfeiting Measures · · Score: 1

    Yeah, i payed with a $100 at best buy one time and the girl had to go get a blacklight.

  8. Re:What I don't understand is... on HP Discusses Anti-Counterfeiting Measures · · Score: 1

    Thats why you just add a loop of clear tape (a foot at least) to the back of the bill, let it take the bill, fish it back out. Works on some machines, but not all...

  9. Why now? on Radar For Safer Driving · · Score: 1, Troll

    I remeber being told that why car makers just didn't factory install those cheap blind spot mirrors you can get everywhere, was because blind spot related accidents cause a lot of damage with relativly few fatalities. Which means $ for dealer bodyshops. Sounds pretty resonable and not so conspiracy'y to me.

  10. No big loss... on Three Vulnerabilities Discovered in Real Player · · Score: 1

    All the good shits in DivX nowadays, the porn people are really up on the latest and greatest, most are already using DivX 5 standard.

  11. Its been done... on Earth Growing Due to Melting Glaciers · · Score: 1

    Didn't Lex do that in one of the Superman movies?

  12. Re:This gives me an idea on At Long Last, Mice Produce Sperm From Monkeys · · Score: 1

    A chipmunk and provolone cheese! No more will people have to look two places for squirrels and provolone cheese...

  13. Sperm, not semen. on At Long Last, Mice Produce Sperm From Monkeys · · Score: 1

    Its pretty clear from the article that the scientists have been able to coax the tissue to produce sperm, sperm is produced by the testes, but semen is produced by a gland near the prostate, they're combined later. But still, something elses swimmers wriggling around under its skin...

  14. Heh on Pentagon Cancels Internet Voting System · · Score: 1

    Posterior or posterity, freudian slip maybe? :p

  15. Re:From a non-expert perspective on Pentagon Cancels Internet Voting System · · Score: 1

    Twist ties are the paper wrapped wires twisted around breadbags and such. Those would probably slice you up pretty good if you were bound with them, your probably thinking of zip ties, those one time plastic clicky things that come in all sortsa fun sizes including handy cheap handcuff size.

  16. Re:What about on Who is Responsible for Advice Labels on Games? · · Score: 1

    Not necisarily the screen size, but the percentage of your vision it occupies. I remember something about the pokemon debacle a few years back was partly because in japan people tend to sit a lot closer to the TV so it occupies more of their field of vision.

  17. Simple... on Google Traffic Takes Down Web Site · · Score: 4, Funny

    Get Google to buy OSDN and Fark, add a boobies section to /. and unleash the most powerful force the internet has ever seen... Will make mydoom look like a prank on a high school network.

  18. MOD PARENT UP on Ten Technologies That Refuse to Die · · Score: 1

    Dunno about anyone else, but IMHO toilet paper is for wipin' the water off your ass (the ads that market it as absorbent...)from the splashback of a straight down drop... If your using TP to clean the shit off your ass you need to do some groundskeepin back there or get some more fiber in your diet.

  19. Yup... on Plain Cell Phones Fading Away? · · Score: 1

    I have an LG 4050 with probably the same ringtone. Its crazy, you hear it and you'd expect it to be some old black bakelite desk phone, but its this little silver thing.

  20. Re:Just Curious on Spammer Profile: Scott Richter · · Score: 2
    I suppose you'd also favor chopping off someone's hand when they steal something?
    No, but i wouldn't be opposed to a public flogging of a criminal in liu of jail time, certanly less costly for the american tax payer and more of a deterrent for crime. I think the 8th amendment needs some rework.
  21. Never used a kit... on Repairing Speaker Foam Surrounds? · · Score: 1

    But you may want to look around for a place tat does speaker repair so you can get a pro job done, our local (milwaukee) place is thunderhead reconing, but it seems they dont have a website. Failing that it may just be time to get new speakers.

  22. Drive Rails... on Which Screw Goes Where? · · Score: 1

    Most modern pc cases have drive rails, they basically just pop onto the sides of drives with tabs, then everything slides in and out pretty easily.

  23. Re:Wow Security update # 832894 on Microsoft Security Patch Fixes URL Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    No, 832,894 patched bugs in Windows. :p

  24. Re:What I don't get... on Court to Hear Landmark P2P Case · · Score: 1

    Uh, and whats wrong with teenagers having sex? Prophylactics are simple, sex shouldn't be that much of a big deal in our society anymore

  25. No big suprise... on It's All About the Ununpentium · · Score: 1
