  1. Like a lawyer? on Complications · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ask a lawyer if you should sue; the responce will be "Most Definitly".

    Ask a doctor to operate; the responce will be "Most Definitly".

  2. I only got on iRobot Moves Into Your House · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    a lump of coal and Windows XP. The former will be of a lot more use.

  3. this @#$@#$ing sucks. on Dual Screen/Display Laptop · · Score: 2

    It is a tablet and most certainly not a laptop. "a keyboard appears on either screen for traditional entry" defeats the whole advantage of a laptop; fast data entry on the go. Imagine writing a few hundred thousand lines of code on one of these puppies!

  4. iBook on Dual Screen/Display Laptop · · Score: 2

    my 4.9 lb iBook generates no perceptable heat.

  5. sure... on Ring Tones Will Save the Music Industry · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And VHS will kill the movie industry.

  6. "fairly recent"!? on Games of the Year · · Score: 2

    Fairly recent is the 802.11b rig we are planning for AP Calculus next year.

    Unfortunatly, I have no math next semester. Nothing left to take but Calculus which I'll have to wait till my Junior year to take.

  7. FROGGER!? on Games of the Year · · Score: 2

    What about 'classics'!? Everyone in my precal class was hooked on ZTetris. I think I've spent more time on it (1.5 hours 5 days a week) than Quake 3; the games I'm writing shouldn't be included at 8 hours a day 7 days a week.

  8. do you really believe on Hollings vs. McCain on Broadband and Copyrights · · Score: 2

    That either party couldn't be bought one way or the other? We need to start funding our own bribes. I'm sure that OSDN will give us free advertiseing toward the project.

    We are better at software development, but we aren't as good at bribing, sueing, and libeling.

  9. glad to see you like your mac on Apple's Present: iTunes Supports Ogg Files · · Score: 2

    Though it was a week before I installed Linux on my iBook.

    Unlike winshit however, OS X and 9 still have places on my hard disk. For Warcraft 3 and Quake 3 respectively.

  10. in other news on Hi Tech, Wireless Help for Climbers · · Score: 2

    A skier was left buried for several months without recieving assistance because he refused to sign the EULA of his wireless dealy.

    His last words were, "Damn you Clippy this isn't funny!"

  13. think about this: on DNA Goes Binary · · Score: 2

    By using voltages 0,1.5,3.5. and 5 you would actually be using less power in most datasets.

    By 'faster' I was reffering to data transfer rate; not calculations. If a single bit in my system could hold two of yours then mine would be twice as fast.

    Unreliability wouldn't be a problem so long as you keep the inductance of the wiring down; myistereo is hardly "unreliable" and it has inifinite voltage states.

    I understand the "beauty of binary", but we don't think that way, our programs don't think that way(a boolean takes a byte or more for addressing), and it seems like a waste.

    I neither have the equipment nor the knowledge to build such a system. If I made it out of multistate relays(my inspiration for this idea) then it would, in fact, be enormous and consume more power. But then again so would binary electronics.

  14. homegrown ISPs? on DSL Amidst Phone Wars · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In other news, Flame Entertainment is rumored to be illegally selling wireless access to their 512kb/s internet connection in the Jefferson City, TN area. No one else has 802.11b equipments; hence, no one cares.

    (If my cable company is reading this; it's just a joke. Please don't cut me off; DSL is such a bitch. Much like you have become since you restricted me to one @$#@$ing IP you megalomaniacal sons of bitches!)

  15. live spousal beatings on Xmas Lights + X10 + Webcam = Fun · · Score: 4, Funny

    will get more hits.

  16. not really on DNA Goes Binary · · Score: 2

    Tt's a binary DNA system, not a binary electrical system. Analog computer accessories such as audio-tape drives on the C64/C128/AppleII/IBMXT/etc worked because of the ability or read/write the medium directly. Reading/Writing DNA would help make people that coould interface with computers; but wouldn't be necessary in the actual cyborg.

    Nervous systems 'evolve' inside the actual organism and are not completely planned in advance by DNA. Some sort or AI code would be necessary in the cybernetic hardware to adapt ittself to the user's nervous system. Until we can make something like that, reliable cybernetics will never be producable.

  17. Binary computers? How long before base4 computers? on DNA Goes Binary · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    All our technology is either analog or binary, but why not try octal or hexadecimal computing? It would allow for for faster computers even if the cost would be the redesign of a LOT of chips.

    This might be a "stepping stone" between traditional and quantum computing, or it might just be a posible avenue of progression never taken.

  18. In Russia on Satellite Imagery Used to Trace Lewis & Clark Route · · Score: 2

    We don't have IMAX; we watch potatoes grow. Real life much more interesting.

    And I thought TN(where I really live) was as bad as it could get.

  20. it is saving Java from the wrath of M$ on Microsoft Ordered to Carry Java · · Score: 2

    Microsoft is trying to "kill off" Java by making an inferior and incompatible alternative.

    My snowboarding game for example, will not work on M$'s virtual machine while it works perfectly on every version of Java2 from Sun.

    Should Micro$oft be able to include(and advertise) an orange with every copy of windows while calling it an apple?

  22. I was working on something like that on Talk To a Successful Free Software Project Leader · · Score: 3, Interesting

    at my summer job.

    There are several free services that do that. As for writing a report, just modify one of the cgi scripts to include your company name and junk and add a wget command to the cron script.

    use it like this:
    %wget http://flame.dnsart.com/index.php -O report.html
    --12:36:21-- http://flame.dnsart.com/index.php
    => `report.html'

    I have a proxy server, and downloaded the startpage for my site, but the usage will be similar for your script. I also had to remove 'junk characters'; damn you lameness filter! Be sure to stream output to null so your daemon doesn't email you weekly.

    I might be writing some php scripts to monitor uptime; email me if you would like a copy when they are complete.

  23. what it is (from the official site) on Talk To a Successful Free Software Project Leader · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nagios® is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.

    Does that mean it can predict when a Windows system tries to use my network before the enduser gets a bluescreen? Woah; that's impressive.

  24. -1, TROLL!? on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 2

    If I said Windows.NET Technology instead of winshit, would it still have been trolling?
