  1. Re:Yippie skippy. on Gentoo Ported to PS2 · · Score: 1

    Actually I liked the Mac bong ... rip it out the hardware and put a nice chamber in and make the disk drive the slot for the pipe :)

  2. Re:Oh boy here we go again. on Initial Half-Life 2 Benchmarks Released · · Score: 1

    I had 2 of the G200's I loved, them stable as hell and amayzing 2D. I don't play games so I still have one in my linux box and I have no intention of replacing it.

  3. Re:I just started using Bluetooth on New iMacs (and iPods) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking more of a bluetooth virus that hoped around to open devices :)

    where's your proof

  5. Re:why don't they just improve gcc? on IBM Releases Compiler for Power4 and G5 · · Score: 1

    I think thats very much the reason or atleast from everything I've read. From what I understand they have been giving back code to gcc that fits into gcc design.

  6. I didn't know on IBM Releases Compiler for Power4 and G5 · · Score: 1

    They optimized XLC for intel at all. I knew they did for the PPC but not intel.

  7. Re:Why not? I'm just doing what the RIAA does. on Mandrake 9.2 RC1 · · Score: 1

    And you wish to follow the examples set by the RIAA ...

  8. Re:Am I the only one... on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I said it was an option to buy a machine from IBM with a 970 in it. Which I do believe they will sell a few ;-)

  9. Re:Am I the only one... on Apple Issues New G5 Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    You can buy two different CPU and have them work in the same motherboard?

    Besides you can (or will in a short period of time) be able to buy 970s from IBM.

  10. Re:Dumbing Down on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    No he's talking about grad school ....

    Which for most people is useless. I'm sorry but I'll take 5 years of industry experience over a PhD any day.

  11. Re:Dumbing Down on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but it mentalities like that, that screw up this world. Just because you have a Phd doesn't mean your smarter it just means that you had the desire to go to grad school.

  12. Re:Skeptical on SoBig: Worst is Yet to Come · · Score: 1

    You know what one person isn't bad but when your whole facility (NASA research center in langley as well as the contractors and the airforce base) has its internet connectivity cut off as ours was part of monday, all of tuesday, and part of wednesday. It becomes very expensive.

  13. Re:Ellison can't do it, neither can these folks on Pulse Detonation Engines: The Future of Aviation · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. I'm over next to the langley air force base and man are they loud. Some days when they are hitting the afterburners it shakes the building. Hell I've been woken up on occasion at 4 in the morning when they where running drills. Its funny I half expect to hearthings exploding.

    On a side note. You'll have to design completely new passanger jets.Its not like you can strap a bigger engine to 777 frame and just go. Hell even the skin of the plane would start to melt off.

  14. Re:Missed the best on GUI Toolkits for the X Window System · · Score: 1

    Its "a multidimensionnal spreadshit" I'm not sure if I want to sign a petition asking for sun to spread more shit ....

  15. Re:Altogether now... on Better Power Supply Roundup · · Score: 1

    Your right but if you ever have a PSU go on you and takes out the motherboard and graphics card. You'll pay more attention to which PSU you put in.

    I don't know about you but I'd rather spend the time and a little extra cash in the beginning than risk alot more in the end.

  16. Re:Good idea on Lufthansa Systems Chooses Linux · · Score: 1

    Actually its kinda funny but the FAA equivalent in germany (the DFS) is privatized and has looked into the possability of running linux in there ATC systems (small parts at first).

  17. Re:What are they trying to prevent? on Technical Glitches Plague BuyMusic.com · · Score: 1

    No but do you really want to be the poor slub that gets made an example of? I know I don't have the money to go to court. Maybe the ACLU can help me out but more than likely not.

  18. Re:International distribution - no go. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    Not really no. Most of the power that gets sold into the us in the east comes into niagra mohawk which is right near the border of canada (multiple cites along the border).

  19. Re:International distribution - no go. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    BC to southern california is certainly a distance but not nearly the distance from buffalo to LA which is what the thread is about. transfering energy across large distances.

    These days mode S and ADS-B are replacing the morse code beacons ... but thats still a cool idea.

  21. Re:International distribution - no go. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah but in those case your talking about quebec selling power to the north east which is right next door. So you don't have to go very far.

    See the question I have is. How much intensive computing are you going to be donig on the road? I mean yeah 266 is slow but its good enough for most things.
