  1. Re:hmm on Building a Multi-Channel PVR System? · · Score: 1
    Maybe you could write it in some kind of striped format, with one file having alternating data from the different channels. Then when you're done recording you spilt it into several files, one for each channel.

    A SCSI drive might work better with multiple streams, too.

    Well, maybe it wouldn't work. It would be cool, though, if you could somehow record the entire RF spectrum with all of the channels, but it would probably take infinite memory bandwidth on the computer.

  2. forget the year numbers on Microsoft Drops .NET Name For Next Windows Server · · Score: 1

    Just call it Windows NT Server 5.1.2600 like it probably is internally referred to by.

  6. We are borg. You will be assimilated on Neat Homebrew Halloween Tech? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    About 4 years ago (I was in 7th grade), I made a Borg costume. I went to Radio Shack and got a bunch of LED's, wired them to a switch and a some C batteries, and a switch, taped the to a black turtle neck and sweat pants. I took one of those black face masks (for skiing I think) and added a Borg eye attachment, consisting of a jumbo LED, wine cork, and drinking straw.

    I'm sorry, but I have a patent on viewing sites linked from slashdot repeatedly. Only I can slashdot the site. No, I can't It takes more than just one computer to slashdot something.

  12. Re:Server down for obvious reasons on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 1

    There aren't any software packages available now that were actually deisgned for the amount of traffic there is today. In a sense, the entire world is /.ing itself.

  14. Obvious, looking at prices on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 1

    Intel's most high-end chip is always about $200 more than the next lowest. Why spend $650 for 2.x ghz when you 2.(x-1) ghz will do just as good for $400?

  15. Re:Obviously on Blender Community Rescues Sources · · Score: 1

    Actually, on the old blender.nl site, you could read about 5 of their tutorials and learn almost the entire interface, mesh modelling, keyframe animation, and some of the game interface. They thought that no one would figure it out without the manual

  16. interface on Blender Community Rescues Sources · · Score: 1

    Whenever you mention Blender to someone, they will give you one of two responses:
    a. anyone who has taken time to learn it will say its awesome
    b. anyone else will say something like "what the hell do all these buttons do?"
    Can you think of any program whose UI isn't confusing the first few times you try it?
