  1. Re:WOW , size only, not distance... on Today's Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    If you can get to D.C., USA, there's one along part of the Mall.

    Description

  2. Re:U.S. news went to hell a long time ago... on Violence, Video Games And Donahue · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Itanium on Carmack Expounds on Doom III · · Score: 1

    You can access more than 4Gb of memory with a 32-bit processor; you just need a little extra work paging it in and out of your 4Gb address space.

    The reason no one talks about itanium is because no-one has got one. Or 4Gb of memory to put with one.

  4. Re:They can't... on FBI Warns Companies About Wireless Warchalking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't say it was illegal ... but would you have been surprised if the headline was "FBI arrests warchalkers" ?

  5. Right target for once. on FBI Warns Companies About Wireless Warchalking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least the FBI are warning the companies and not arresting the warchalkers.

  6. Re:Urgh on Lord of The Rings DVD, Now or Later? · · Score: 1

    George makes the films to sell the toys. Pod-racer scene = video game. Jar-Jar = bendy plastic figurine. Etc.

    You didn't see Peter Jackson adding cute, furry creatures to the forests of middle-earth so that toys could be made.

  7. Re:haha.... on Using Your Computer to Repel Pests · · Score: 1

    MP3 is lossy compression. It works by removing components of the music that you will not notice are missing.

    One would expect that inaubible frequencies would fall in this category.

  8. Re:Great job... on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    The ZDNet article focused more on the RIAA side of things - describing the legislation and quoting such immature gems as "Perhaps it at least took 10 minutes away from stealing music."

  9. Re:MIRROR NEEDED! on nVidia NV3x Sneak Peek · · Score: 1

    Cool ... if you like playing games at a resolution of 351x216

  10. Re:Old trick on Is This The Oldest Map of North America? · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's why half the article is about testing the inks.

  11. Isolated. on New Species Found in Central Park · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Central park is pretty isolated from the outside world - for a centipede.

    Could this new species perhaps evolved there from a known centipede species?

    A new species of mosquito evolved in the London underground, for example.

  12. Re:Bullshit. on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you have the unalienable right to obtain a driver's license

    You have the unalienable right to ask for a driver's license. The state has the unalienable right to deny you one if, for example, you fail the test.

  13. Re:Can't please all the people all of the time on New Research to Find Environment-Cleansing Bugs · · Score: 1

    As long as the Gorillas haven't been genetically engineered to resist cold weather I will reluctantly go along with your plan.

  14. Can't please all the people all of the time on New Research to Find Environment-Cleansing Bugs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This should please many people of a variety of political persuations

    Yeah ... it will please everyone who doesn't mind genetically engineered super-bacteria roaming the planet.

  15. Re:Pfew.. on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    Unless the error is along the orbit; It might be 10,000,000Km nearer, or 10,000,000km further along its orbit. This translates to "it's going to hit, but we don't know if it is in the morning or the afternoon. So don't make any lunch plans"

  16. Re:devil's advoca...no, wait on How Italian Police Shut Down U.S. Web Servers · · Score: 1

    So why does it all matter? The blasphemer is going to suffer for eternity in hell - why should the Italian police even care about slapping his wrists now?

  17. Court? Tax? on How Italian Police Shut Down U.S. Web Servers · · Score: 1


    An Italian citizen, in Italy, claims that the Italian government violated rights given to him by the US constitution because his website was hosted on an American server.

    Question 1 : which US court would hear a case brought by an Italian citizen (living in Italy) against the Italian government?

    Question 2 : Whose taxes, Americans' or Italians', would pay for the case?

  18. Re:How to move your stuff: on Considerations for an Oversea Move? · · Score: 1

    back into all the stuff that you want

    You are very optimistic about resale values and cost-of-living differences.

    If I sell all my stuff in the US, there is absolutely no way I could use the cash to replace it in England.

  19. I don't care. on More Attacks on Linux than Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful


    I don't really care about the number of attacks (unless it escalates to DOS), it's the number of successful attacks that is important.

    And since Linux is much more heterogenous than Windows, a "linux" attack directed at me is less likely to succeed since it is less likely I have the exact hole that is being exploited.

  20. Size. on Euro Coins Test for Color Blindness · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's lucky they're different sizes then. It would be really annoying living somewhere where the money was the same size and colour!

  21. Ad? on Live Via Satellite · · Score: 2, Funny

    Was it an ad for TVs?

  22. Re:Joe Pesci as Superman? on Warner Bros. plans 'Superman vs. Batman' Movie · · Score: 1

    George Clooney has already played batman though. More incestuous than logical.

  23. Links are next. on Aussie State Gov't Seeks to Regulate Web Photos · · Score: 1

    Next it will be illegal for the gay website to do

  24. Re:Cool on Dual GPU graphics solution from ATi? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently building my own system that is focused on Doom III.

    Why?

    If you wait until the game is released you can buy the same hardware for half the price.

  25. Failed? on Pi In The 4th Dimension · · Score: 2, Funny

    So he's all set to prove they're the same. A simple web page shows they're different.

    Doesn't sound like a very exciting story to me.
