  1. Re:I don't get something -- on Batteries Powered by Leftover Food · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, they don't want more refinement, they want less. As in you stick the raw sugar beets or sugar cane inside.

    Sweet, thanks muchly.

  3. Re:Comprehensive? on Console Image Quality Guide · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I got some gold plated(it only cost a couple of euros more)scart cables for my tv, and the image has never been better. I have S-vido and RGB connections, but I've been told that Scart is better, so I never tried them.

    Is that true?
    Also, do european versions of gamecube, xbox, etc come with scart connectors? (my dvd player does)

  4. It took a world war? on Wright Brothers vs. Glenn Curtiss · · Score: 1, Troll

    So, maybe this invasion of Iraq might help break this whole patent/IP thing wide open?

    Thanks for all your replies, now know it's more about possible shortcuts/weaknesses than just brute force.

    Not even close, but isn't breaking encryption just a matter of throwing enough processor cycles at it until it finds a match?

  7. Re:Which OS9? on Graphing Randomness in TCP Initial Sequence Numbers · · Score: 1

    I believe Mac OS9, the first report says it wasn't all that great.

  8. I'm glad I got to look at this page this morning. on Graphing Randomness in TCP Initial Sequence Numbers · · Score: 1

    When I saw it in the Bugtraq mailing list.

    Extremely interesting, I'm probably just uninformed, but this has been one of the first examples I've seen where a 3d rendering has been used to express data in a way that makes any sense to me (I am mathematically challenged).

    I'll read your story, got a link?

    Man, I guess my definition of a bad ending isn't the same as many others. I'll have to reread it with this in mind.

    Whoa, I've never felt that way about any Stephenson book I've read, although I haven't read everything yet. Care to explain in more depth?

    I remember that book, I also remember A Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted. I wish I could do 100 push ups every morning, but 40 is my absolute limit.

    But the riaa.org hack is a LOT funnier, pity they've already figured it out.

  17. Re:Thought you guys would like this on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 1

    I remember this from the last release, I did some color changing, and now have a red anolis carolinis( that's the name, the spelling I'm not so sure) on my desktop. If you care, I have a copy here:

    click me

    By the way, it's only 1024 x 768, my monitor isn't world class. And I know it's not as red as it could be, it just didn't look realistic though.

  18. Re:Jurassic Park on How To Clone A Mammoth · · Score: 1

    Why can cats sucessfully raise rats then, and other cross species interactions I've seen highlighted in the "special interest" section of the nightly news, after the stories about death and destruction and corruption in the world?

  19. Why for is this post a troll? on New IBM Plant Will Mass Produce .1 Micron Chips · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's not super technical or ultra geeky, but sheesh, getting lumped in with the fp guys and the crap flooders isn't particularly fair.

  20. Re:Why .1 micron? on New IBM Plant Will Mass Produce .1 Micron Chips · · Score: 1

    I can tell the difference, but to me dropping the second decimal place says that the second decimal place wasn't necessary in the first place. Which isn't true.

  21. Why .1 micron? on New IBM Plant Will Mass Produce .1 Micron Chips · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And not .10?

    I know it's a stupid question, but I prefer a little consistency, .14 .13 .12 .11 .1 just doesn't seem right.

  22. Re:Legitimate reasons for changing the IMEI? on Hack Your Phone, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    Alright, what about this, you own the phone, but you do not own the network, if they changed the law to say entering onto a cell network with an altered IMEI is illegal, would that suit you?

    Do you know of any, because I sure don't.

    Why shouldn't something that only serves theives (as far as I can see) be illegal?
