    We eant useful measurements here. Do you spend more time watching spike tv or browsing the LOC?

  2. Re:Space Elevator and Nature on Yarn Spun from Nanotubes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yea, but cold fusion is considered impossible. A space elevator is just prohibatively expensive and we don't have the technology yet. However, both those things will change eventually.

    wow, i though that was funny until i saw he was serious there is actually a gcc frontend for SPL. wow.

    I think he means why do they incluse quicktime at all since it doesn't have a proprietary standard.

    guess mplayer is more popular rhan i realized.
    Or they don't include proprietary formats. Does quicktime even have a proprietary format, though? I though it was straight mpeg?

  6. Re:Porn Experts? on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 1

    How does one become an 'online-porn expert'?

    Hard work, long hours, lots of kleenex, and the inevitable chafing and scabbing.

  7. Re:The *internet experience* lends well to porn... on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 1

    So true. Whenever i drive by an "adult bookstore" (i've never been in one) and someone drives out, i think: what kind of weirdo actually goes to olne of those places. Then i go home to my ~30GB(i just leaned out the sucky stuff) of porn i have at home.

    There is a gentoo G5 livecd. i dont' know if it runs at full or half speed, and it runs the fans at full speed (but in a datacenter, who really cares?) but otherwise, it works.

    Uh, won't Earthlink unblock your port 25 if you call and threaten to drop? I never have since i don't run a mail server, but i've heard of it being done. Anyway, if you need more mailboxes than they allow (10 now?) there is a pretty good argument for you not being an end user anymore.

  13. Re:Thanks, Intel... on Intel Releases Linux Driver For Centrino WLAN · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this shames the NVidias and the Lucents of the world who give stupid excuses for their closed-source drivers.

    Quit bitching. IICRC, NVidia doesn't own all the code in their drivers and anyway, why should they be forced to disclose stuff they consider a trade secret? They provide solid, working drivers for an OS used by like 1% of the desktop market. That's pretty impressive, imo.

    Why? with linux, if they don't have root, they really can't screw it up. (Assuming you set premissions correctly).

  15. Re:It's the software + the hardware on Pocket PCs Masquerade as iPods · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's like when you're driving. Since you have a cell phone in one hand, you only have one left for the ipod.

  16. Re:shocking on TV Losing to Video Games · · Score: 1

    For real, this should be the best time for tv. I never watched much tv when it was good b/c all the good shows had plotlines that would get confusing if you missed an episode. now, thanks to my eyeTV, i can record every episode and not have to worry about missing it. Unfortunatly, those shows are gone. Oh well, back to south park.

    For example, I have decided that I like UT 2004 enough to buy it, but I will not do so until I have a No-CD crack, as I hate having to put the game CD in every time I want to play.

    I'm sure there are already pleanty out there.
