  1. price? on Fujitsu To Ship Linux Powered Robot in July · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "This thing could be a lot of fun to program and send around the house."

    Sure could, but I don't want to see the price-sticker.

    Actually I don't think the ideal helper-bots are humanoids. I beleave specialdesigned bots will do better. One bot does one thing, and does it good ;) e.g. open the door, clean floor, etc.

  2. Re:Complete, Utter, Comprehension! on Gzip on a PCI card · · Score: 1

    Google says:

    GZIP compression by hardware a Joint venture of the University of Wuppertal with the Hagener Vigos AG points to the CeBIT (, D26 resounds to 11) the prototype of a "GZIP accelerator board". The PCI plug-in card removes the time-consuming compression from the processor and is in the current version already 32 MByte per second to compress together to be able. Thus the Netzwerktraffic of a 100-MBit-Leitung can be already compressed in real time; by a modular structure are to be achieved later up to 64 MByte per second. Particularly in Web servers so the outgoing volume of data is to be compressed on-the-fly and be relieved thus both the CCU and the network binding -- a welcome assistance for InterNet Provider, which must act resources-carefully. These are also the primary target group for the procedure patented meanwhile, which is to be used in first standard sets at the end of of 2003. Up to then the manufacturer wants to have adapted also the still very klobige layout of the map on the conditions in server housings. (Christopher Kunz)/(sun/iX)

  3. Re:lol... "warcraft" then ? on Germany Places Command & Conquer on Restricted List · · Score: 1

    Warcraft is probably still off the list because of the enemies. It's not human vs human, at least not "by default". You know, it's ok to kill anything that is not human: Dogs, cats, cows, birds, grunts, aliens, etc.

  4. Re:20k words on Robots! · · Score: 1

    of course, and it has a usb-connection in between its legs.

  5. Re:You've spelled Cracker wrong. on Hacker Leaks Unreleased CERT Reports · · Score: 1

    Then tell me, what is the "correct" word for hacker nowadays? That is, a hacker as in http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/h/hacker.html

    That would be a geek nowadays, or what?
    And what is the new cracker doing? Eating crack and smokeing weed?

  6. if... on Linux Powers Motorola's Smart Phone · · Score: 1

    if the phone could just be constantly connected (like my lovely adsl) I would be really cool. I could have my ssh-session with screen and all ;)
    tail your message-log, for the really paranoid.

  7. one word on Dual-headed Laptops · · Score: 0, Redundant

    neat. I don't want to clean those fingerprints off the keyboard-screen all the time though.

  8. Re:so microsoft on EA, Eidos Have No Plans for Xbox Live · · Score: 0

    i use linus becus im a hax0r, M$ sux 2 hax0r with. do you know where i can get netbus 4 linus?

    My "anti-Microsoft conspiracy" is not worse then your anti-anti-microsoft-people conspiracy. I hope I made you day now ;)

    Do me a favor: Make yourself a cold drink, and get out in the sun and relax for a minute.

  9. so microsoft on EA, Eidos Have No Plans for Xbox Live · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is so microsoft :-P Can't they for once get those bigbrother eyes of the ground. I hope more follows Eidos example here. Not that I have anything against microsoft *crosses fingers and whistles*, but I happen to like sony :)

  10. Re:A cold day in... on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 1

    I heard dukenukem forever was released too, and the nwn linux client!

  11. sad on More on 64-bit Gaming · · Score: 1

    I find it sad that (almost) everytime I read about a game released to xfree86/linux it`s actually not the game, but a dedicated server. Of course, I understand why servers are released so much faster then clients (which most often isn`t released to x/linux at all), considering they don`t need to handle graphics and sound.

  12. Hoho on Roogle: RSS Search Engine · · Score: 2, Funny

    now, that's almost as funny as the google mirror: http://www.alltooflat.com/geeky/elgoog/

  13. Re:One of my favorite google easter eggs... on Playing with Google · · Score: 1

    A even better one was (I say was, since it doesn't work any longer) to search for "stora kikare" (swedish, means big binoculars), google then recommended "stora kukar" (means big dicks)

  14. Re:wine(x) might work on Grand Theft Auto Released For Free · · Score: 3, Insightful

    _considering_ NWN runs better in wine then it does in windows (at least for me), I wouldn't say wine is crap.

  15. Nice and all on A 3D Animation of Kernel Source Development · · Score: 1

    Looks very cool and all. Cloud be part of a demo, with some neat music too it. It doesn't help me any to get a overview of changes. A traditional "2d"-brows through my kernel-tree with some diffs would tell me more. But I guess that was not the whole point of the project.

    Really worth downloading (or streaming or whatever you prefer with your mplayer)

  16. mind popper on Do You Write Backdoors? · · Score: 1

    Goatse just poped up my mind...

    speaking of open backdoors and such...

  17. Re:Read the specs on The t68i Replacement is Here · · Score: 1

    If you want wave's as ringtones, buy a sony cmd-j5. It's cheap too :) It's not exactly wave's, but you can record 5*10 seconds with the internal mic, and use as ringtones. I have had lots of fun with it ;)

    *ring ring* PICK UP THAT DAMN PHONE!!! *ring ring* [loop]

  18. Re:dvd? on Sony First To Market With Blue-Laser DVD Recorder · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Still, with 5x the capacity of standard Red-Laser recorders..."

    5*700=3500

    But maybe he ment 5*sizeof(dvd).
    Probably missunderstod it there.

  19. Re:I won't buy one on Sony First To Market With Blue-Laser DVD Recorder · · Score: 1

    But he is God...

    Can God create a cd-rom that fits that much data that he cannot fill it all up with pr0n?

  20. dvd? on Sony First To Market With Blue-Laser DVD Recorder · · Score: 1

    isn't that about the size of a dvd?

  21. save time on ISS Discovers A Remote Hole In Sendmail · · Score: 1

    It would save both time and space to find the lines in sendmail which has _not_ got a vulnerability ;)

  22. java is open? on Source Code To Dungeon Master Java Released · · Score: 1

    Besides from licensens and such, isn't java kind of open already (p-code)? So for those who have been intressted in reading the code before now, this isn't directly a breakthrough, is it?
