    I don't know much (well, anything) about this stuff but these people claim 155dB when testing 1500W model. Reading $ amounts from popsci article, Lomu series sounds like a big bang for just a few hundreds.

    While you're there, check the latest RMS definition! Just scroll a bit down the page - can't miss it.

  4. Cool job on He Blows Things Up So You Don't Have To · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Sounds like a cool way to make living.

    I'm affraid though, that consumers won't ever be safe, unless Chuk's lab employ my son and few of his friends. Fresh thinking is always good.

    9.1 isn't bad, I agree.

    I like both RH 9 and SuSE 8.2 better, though.

    Not very portable, though.

    To be really mobile, laptop owner would have to be vegeterian. For producing good quality methan, (S)he would also need to apply the following technique when eating:

    1] chew

    2] swallow

    3] repeat (yeah, sucks, i know)

    and to keep farthing all-day-long.

  10. Re:Oh, sweet irony on Isn't It Ironic? · · Score: 1
    Their posts are incorrect, but they are not ironic since they sincerely think those things are ironic.

    However, that's what makes the whole situation pretty ironic.

    That's funny! I've got a feeling though that Bill has no regrets whatsoever over that one.

  13. Re:Bill Who? on Bill Would Let FBI Police File-Sharing · · Score: 1
    Actually, to me it sounded like Bill approves of file sharing between FBI and police. I thought, so what? The FBI and police should be much more concerned about what Sen. Hatch has to say about it.

    I definitely need a break from /. at least over weekends.

  14. Re:Not much better across the Tasman Sea either... on The Australian Broadband Disaster · · Score: 1
    The Government does actually own a small share of Telecom New Zealand.

    Unfortunatelly for us, plebs, Telecom owns much larger chunk of The Government.

    I am sure you were somewhere else - there's no traffic in Christchurch.

    Most Ausies and Kiwis do. It is so common nowadays that hardly anybody finds it offensive. Apart from some morons from NZ Consumer Protection something... who wanted TV ads for Holden utes, in which word was used repeatedly, banned. Ads were quite funny and quite a reflection of everyday living down here.

    Back to topic, though - is this thing even close to Weta's cluster performance?

  17. Re:Poor Windows.... on Yet Another Windows Worm · · Score: 1
    Well, if that's how you define OS's desktop readiness, Linux is ready. I can open attachments in KMail, Mozilla, Balsa, Evolution, Opera 7.11.

    Face it - Windows is poorly made OS.
