  1. Just bear through it. on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just stick it through and soon enough you'll be free. Learn to drink water instead.

  2. Re:Like trying to overclock a VW on Pushing P4 to 5.25GHz with Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 1

    First of all, the clock is a signal that never goes through any logic gates (or never should) untill it hits the clock input on a ff. Even then, clocks need to be distributed in such a way that it arrives at all clock inputs at the same time! Normally there is a bit of clock skew. IN prescott they had to route it by hand it is so critical. Secondly propagation delay is the time between the valid input and output of a circuit. Don't forget these things can't switch instaneously. Usually it is in the order or nano or pico seconds depending on the fabrication process. This usually determines the clock speed as much as anything else. This is the whole purpose for having a clock in the first place! It neeeds to keep all the information synchronized. The clock is never faster than the slowest circuit!

  3. w0w! That's a lot of voltage on Pushing P4 to 5.25GHz with Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 1

    it was shown that a core voltage above 1,880 volts

    Where the hell did they plug this thing into?

  4. Re:Like trying to overclock a VW on Pushing P4 to 5.25GHz with Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 1

    You were missing 2 words, Propagation Delay. It takes time for gates to switch, it is independant of clock speed, and for all of the individual delays to work itself down the circuit.

  5. Re:#1 with a Bullet on PCLinuxOS 2K4: Mandrake Meets The Live CD · · Score: 1

    quick someone post another fedora or gentoo story.
    HURRY!!!!

  6. Re:How are we supposed to do it? on Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results · · Score: 1

    Obviously you haven't read the Silmarillion or you'd be running in the other direction.

  7. FP on Outsourcing Winners and Losers · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    FP

  8. Re:Maybe if it were a single lecture... on Longest Physics Lecture in History? · · Score: 2, Funny

    But I can sure skip it.

  9. Re:Linux File System? on Using the Real ntfs.sys Driver Under Linux · · Score: 1

    Linux supports all kinda of file systems, many of them have been way better, for quite a while, than what you'll see in longhorn.

  10. Re:Gandalf aging backwards? on Peter Jackson Hints At The Hobbit · · Score: 1

    Looks like some ppl actually read the silmarillion.

  11. Re:Stoned Beaver? on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test10 Released · · Score: 1

    But if you mix Deb with 2.6 you should call it "Woody & Stoned Beaver". You shouldn't mix the two because your system will be fscked!

  12. Incomplete on Decoding the Algorithm for Pop Music · · Score: 1

    This is totally incomplete because it omits 90% of what makes a pop artist a hit. It's all about the dancing, attititude, self-groping, clothing, and sex-appeal.

  13. Re:Don't put the computers in their rooms on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 4, Funny

    PORNO FOR THE PEOPLE! [autopr0n.com]

    And don't let them view slashdot.

  14. Re:In related news... on IE To Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    in related news... popup blockers for ie no longer work since someone read the javascript/html/etc. source that microsoft was using.

  15. Re:the culprit on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 1

    So now we know that some little puke writting the next round of windows worms will joyfully stick some of that code in (modify it for windows of course) and blow up everyone's LG cdroms.

  16. Re:"America's Army" - shape up or ship out on The Trouble with MMORPGs · · Score: 1

    Of course, if you do well, they try to get you to enlist in the real army.

    That way they know you are honest (don't cheat), not 12 years old, hard worker, and not fat. The perfect candidate.

  17. Re:no scripting required on Microsoft Dismisses Apple's iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

  18. Re:For one thing it's not a non issue to them on European Parliament Clashes Over Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Or in other words, Democracy in action.

  19. First Test on Drooling Over VA Tech's 1100-Node G5 Cluster · · Score: 1

    These photos are from the Virginia Tech Supercomputer Cluster composed of 1100 PowerMac G5's. These photos were originally hosted at this link but access was removed, presumably due to excessive bandwidth usage.

    Hmm. Something tells me that they should hook up a T3 line to each one of those G5's :P Let's see how much power they really have!

  20. Re:Business Opportunity on Canada Immune From RIAA? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget it is Canada, we'd probably tax that too!

  21. Re:Mandrake on Gnome 2.4 Release(d) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't forget to add Breakmygentoo. They've got lots of great ebuilds and i've been using the gnome 2.4 beta ebuilds all the way through. They're very quick at releasing them too.

  22. Re:It's sad on Microsoft Settles Be Antitrust Suit for $23.25M · · Score: 1

    How long do you think Be could afford to be in court? They would have been quickly outspent then lost it all.

  23. Re:What about automated art? on Distribution of Wealth in a Robot-Driven World · · Score: 1

    Ever watched South Park. Cheap Flash :P

  24. Oh! No! End of the World! on Supercomputers To Move To Specialization? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Skynet had 60 Teraflops IIRC and they're talking about 100!

    Let's hope this isn't tied into Nukes somehow. Wait a sec, a massive virus has already spread disabling millions of computers!

    RUN HIDE! THE END IS UPON US!!!!!!!

  25. Study The proofs! on Science and Math For Adults? · · Score: 1

    I really hate to say this but you should take a proof course and always study the proofs for the theorems and try to proove some things yourself. In math you'll definently start out with courses where solving problems is enough but later on it becomes all proofs. I for one really hate doing proofs and find it all very trivial but it gives me a better understanding of the mathematics involved.
