  1. Ye flipping gods! on New DOOM III Shots · · Score: 1

    Just look at what they have done to the phasers! They have muzzles now. With holes. God, I think I might actually feel better if those turn out to be photon grenade tubes or something.

  2. Re:X-ray vision? on Cortical Cybernetic Implants · · Score: 1

    Well, Eta Carinae is pretty close to the state of a hypernova so all those with x-ray vision will enjoy a show of light for a fraction of a second before their flesh is vaproized.

  3. DVD-R on Which DVD Recordable Format Will Win? · · Score: 1

    Just another vote for the dash.

  4. It's really not like I care on More on the Effect of Digital TV · · Score: 1

    As long as star trek reruns are recordable, I couldn't care less. By the time I have every single episode on my hard drive, the MPAA will be out of buisness and I can record whatever else I want to my heart's delight.

  5. Re:Frozen Case on Home Entertainment PC Mod · · Score: 1
  6. Discussion on overclockers.com on Hot-Rod Your CD-RW Drive · · Score: 1

    This has been discussed a while ago on oc.com forums: http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&th readid=60158&highlight=burner (Thanks to bender for the link).

  7. Did anyone else notice that... on Hitachi's Water-cooled Laptop · · Score: 1

    it is actually a heatpipe design, which is not exactly the same thing as watercooling? Also, I am not very good with Kanji but I have a strong suspition it is not pure H2O they are using.

  8. If we are looking at classics of Russian scifi... on 'Solaris' Screen Adaptation Forthcoming · · Score: 1

    Maybe Stalker is up for remake as well?

  9. Re:More vacuum tubes! on Slashback: Periodicity, Vacuum, Strength · · Score: 1

    It's on topic, is it not?

  10. bensbragins on Home-Built vs. Store-Bought PCs · · Score: 1

    This site is also helpful for certain parts (like CDRW and monitors): http://www.bensbargains.net

  11. More vacuum tubes! on Slashback: Periodicity, Vacuum, Strength · · Score: 1

    There is also a motehrboard using vacuum tubes for onboard audio, here is a link to google's cache of the page.

  12. My vision of what it was supposed to be on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1

    I do not know about you, but I really wanted the last episode to be beutiful, inspiring and completely inconclusive. Sure, it sounds cheesy but the whole series (never mind the last 2 seasons) was about searching for the truth, not FINDING the truth. In the end, it seems that Mulder found something that fit into all the plot lines and stopped there. That completely violates everything that the show has come to stand for. I understand that "the search" was ideal for writing more and more episodes and "the truth" is ideal for abrupt ending of the series, but it just makes me feel bad. I would much rather have something liek the black and white episode as the endgame. Of course, it has nothing to do with aliens but I would know that Mulder's quest is not over and never will be.

  13. Re:Damn, those evil Americans! Damn! on Ground Effect Flying Boat · · Score: 1

    The TU144 was indeed based on the Concord, however it was a much better design, suitable for flights across landmasses. Oh yeah, and it didn't fall apart in the air.

  14. Re:Soviet technology on Ground Effect Flying Boat · · Score: 1

    Very well, I stand corrected. I still think you should be more tolerant in that aspect. (and that is aside from the fact that my point still stands)

  15. Soviet technology on Ground Effect Flying Boat · · Score: 1

    I've done some research on soviet GE craft, and this one looks like an exact copy of an early russian portotype. Soviet engineers have done a lot of progress in this area (including huge cargo planes as well as a virtually motorless craft which is accelerateed by a land-based rail). Unfortunately the craft never went into mass production, and now we see yet another american company exploit the work of brilliant soviet scientists.

  16. Re:GPU on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    The new 3Dlabs card might just do the trick

  17. Re:DOOM 3 poised to ruin old games? on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 0

    I would have to agree with you about wolf, but ID is promising that it won't happen with doom 3. I personally would still prefer if they made a game without tying it to one of the most successful games in history merely for the name.

  18. Now I'll have to.... on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 4, Funny

    Overclock my geforce2 above boiling point, like that guy who opened a dimensional rift with his CPU.

  19. What about us? on "eCycling" Pilot Program in 5 States and D.C. · · Score: 0

    What abou those whose router is a P200 found behind an office building? Whose Dreamcast uses a monitor yoinked form a dump? 1/3 of his riad array is replaced evey month using hard drives thrown out by others? Whose dos nostalgia mashine was also recoverd from a dump? Those with all of their components heatsinked using p1 heatsinks? Please, don't let them pass that act! In addition to increased hardware costs, this will remove technology from my home. And I am not cheap, mind you. I am just a student whose finances are very limited.

  20. Win98 on Linux On a Used Cash Register · · Score: 0

    That register originally ran on a custom version of Win98 (or so this guy claims) so it is not such a big surprise. The quecat bit is nice though (mine is set up to read my student ID card and log me into my system using a PAM module).

  21. TV tuner cards.... on Review: Creative Labs Video Blaster - Digital VCR · · Score: 0

    .. are msotly unfinished proiduct with drivers that are never updated (in my case- AT TV-wonder- since July 5, 2001) and don't work with future systems. I won't even start describing the problems I have under linux. You experience may not be so bad, but I recommend investigating the product you are buying, starting with checking for the latest driver update and reading the bug list (proprietary software is one issue with some cards so quite possibly the manufacturer-supplied drivers/PVR program is what you are going to use). And don't forget to read reviews- at least a couple, on independednt sites.

  22. Re:OS X isn't UNIX on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1

    I believe you are technically right however unix is such a common term nowdays, OSX can be called unix as well (through BSD of course). I also don't think they actually stated that OSX is UNIX

  23. Looks like MS lose at their own game yet again on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    We saw it with WinXP also...

  24. Hmm. W. X. P.? on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does the dock spell the initals of the one whose name should not be spoken?
