  1. Re:against free speech on Spam Blackhole Lists Redux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Perhaps the original author meant that ISPs and the like would infring on (customer) rights by implementing such a blacklist.

  2. Re:Uhh, no. on Spam Blackhole Lists Redux · · Score: 1

    I can confirm tha the city/zip/address certainly look legit (I used to live around there).

  3. Re:Kawasaki's Theorem on Origami and Math · · Score: 1

    Notice how the angles are designated: a1 + a3 + a5 + ... + a2n-1 = 180 a2 + a4 + a6 + ... + a2n = 180

  4. Re:Andrew File system on Distributed Filesystems for Linux? · · Score: 1

    It took me a minute or two of browsing your other replies to decide that you weren't being sarcastic. Then again, I probably posted my comment long after your AFS suggestions as I apparently searched the page for 'AFS' at 3 threshold :|

  7. StarCraft: Brood war on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    I have to say this game scarred me emotionally. I just could not believe that Admiral Stukov was killed. I stared at the screen for about 10 minutes after the end of mission terran 7, immobile. All I could produce afterwards was "Those... BASTARDS!". I am not sure why I got so attached to the character, but I actually cried during the cinematic sequence depicting his burial. For those who have not played StarCraft:BW, Stukov was a stereotipical "russian" character, with the regulation thick accent and manners; most terrans in the game were stereotypical texans (Blizzard seems to use ethnic stereotpyes a lot; consider the dwarves and trolls in Warcraft 3). In the abovementioned mission you are assigned to hunt him down as the other characters are convinced he is a traitor. Further explanation would require several pages of starcraft lore, but the point is that I simply did *not* expect him to be killed off. /goes on to start a petition for resurrecting Admiral Stukov in StarCraft 2 at petitionsonline

  8. This would work for a weight loss program on Mementos as Document Retrieval Keys · · Score: 1

    Encrypt the drive with all your work with a donut, then put it on the desk in front of you for the rest of the day :)

  9. Re:This is stolen off another site.. on Tiny RC Tanks That Fight · · Score: 1

    Didn't you know that slashcode is actually CmdrTaco's secret plot to steal premium content from those foolish enough to use it?

  10. ssh? on Citrix-Like Server for Linux? · · Score: 1

    In our school we simply use ssh (putty if the user is on windows), and tunnel whatever is needed over it.

    Actually, I think the headphone jack on the new gba advance is proprietary

    Better yet, plug an Etherkiller into the main switch.

    Virtual boy?! I guess the only way you retain your vision after playing on that is daily laser surgery.

  17. Re:I may be a geek, but I'm out of touch. on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Galaxy class is the largest enterprise in terms of tonnage and volume.

  18. Hmm on Two Reviews of Debian 3.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, I looked at the reviews and honestly didn't see anything wrong. Yes, it uses a nice, compact, no hand-holding installer. An installation system that does not do anything more than it needs. No autodetection routines that stuff binary drivers into the kernel. No control panels and flashy utilis that do things for you. Yeah, debian is great, what's your point?

  19. Re:Current Athlons on AMD Delays Hammer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Technically it's 133, just double-pumped (it's obvious that the 533 p4s don't actually have 533 mhz fsb, that would be jsut silly). I hope they are reffering to the base speed in this case as well.

  20. Huh? on Scientists Discover What Makes Geckos Stick · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that this has been known for a while, and I certainly have never read about geckos using chemical adhesives anywhere.

  21. Awful, awful kit on Watercooling Made Easy · · Score: 1

    It's one of the worst kits I ghave seen recently. The waterblock is inefficient, the radiator is too small, and overall it's not worth the money. Just get an slk-800 + vantec tornado for $68 if you want decent value, or the swiftech kit if you want decent performance. Best of all, build one yourself, it's really not much harder than assembling the premade stuff.

  22. Re:Give him some booze on How To Travel With LCD Gaming Screen? · · Score: 1

    Yes, encouraging the guy to transform his son into an Average Joe is going to help. I persoanlly take pride in NOT having a normal social life. It's just a distraction.

    Actually, the multi-star might have gone hypernova (which is very nasty even cmpared to a supernova) 7000 years ago and the shockwave will reach us *very* soon, in human terms. It's a slim chance but it's still one more reason to have insomnia.

  25. Try the cases-cases on How To Travel With LCD Gaming Screen? · · Score: 1

    They have very nice stuff, and the prices are not draconic http://www.cases-cases.com Also, if you're up for it you can try and make your own suitcase PC with the LCD on the side, like those produced by [forgot the company name].
