  1. Finally.... on A Kilowatt of Power · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A PSU that can run two high end computers. Its funny but very intresting if it can do this without a problem.

  2. This is one of the reasons I don't bother w/ *nix on Linux's Difficulty with Names · · Score: 1

    the naming schemes are a little hard to remember.... the tough thing is that most people don't want to take the time to remember how to use an OS when windows is so simple. I bet if some experienced windows users were giving a box of *nix with easy to remember things, they could learn it. I'm not saying I use it, but ive run into this problem w/ many people... "I use Internet Explorer" ..... "Oh man, don't use that, use Firefox. What do you think most people end up doing?

  3. This is pure tripe on Such a Thing as too Paranoid About Privacy? · · Score: 1

    We should never cease to be paranoid about our privacy. If you are a US citizen you have a right to be secure in your quarters, gaurenteed by the consitution. And until they ratify that (like anyone will vote for that) then we are entitled to that right.

  4. so does this mean that segate drives on Seagate buys Maxtor for $1.9B · · Score: 1

    will crash a lot and be really noisy now? yippie

  5. Think about this and tell me you aren't crying.... on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Who would have thought this would have actually worked? The "off their rocker extremists" thats who - and they happen to be the base of the US's government. Don't get me wrong now - i'm not saying there aren't wackos on both sides, its bad when either one starts getting their way.

  6. Re:Did he put any recordings up for DL? on Ham Hears Mars Orbiter 45 Million Miles From Earth · · Score: 1

    confarn-it... Someone hijacked my account, but I got the password back - GOOD TO BE BACK!

  7. Did he put any recordings up for DL? on Ham Hears Mars Orbiter 45 Million Miles From Earth · · Score: 1

    I'd love to hear some of that stuff.

  8. I have a pretty dang hot woman, and i'm a nerd on Miss Digital World 2005 · · Score: 1

    and she says she likes nerds.... Now all I have to do is carry around a little sock of quarters to bash nerds with glasses bigger than mine.

  9. So we ARE NOT going to be using diebold on Diebold CEO Resigns Under Cloud · · Score: 2, Funny

    machines this time right? I mean, after all this has gone on, surely the government would find another contracter whom voting source was open, right?

  10. Advert a cisco product and its ok..... on TiVo Causes Increase in Product Placement · · Score: 1

    advert something that a lot of nerds could care less about, BREAK OUT YOUR WEAPONS!!!

  11. First off, its not the cartoon on Aeon Flux, Talk Amongst Yourselves · · Score: 1

    secondly, its a movie - NOT A FILM. The cartoon series had qualities of films. This is made by MTV movies, so thats what you get. Now if it were only MTV2 movies.... =p

  12. Re:Hmm... whats going on here?? on North Pole Heads South · · Score: 1

    its called insulting under an alias... They don't call it a coward for nothing

  13. Hmm... whats going on here?? on North Pole Heads South · · Score: 1

    The real story is that the climate is warming.... Who cares if the magnetic poles shift - it has happened many times. I heard on NPR that the oceanic conveyer belt had started to slow and if this is the case, then add this, and you have pretty irrefutable evidence something big is about to happen. We have pretty much fucked ourselves in the worse case senario.... Makes me think that moving to the equator a little bit early wouldn't be such a bad idea - I mean, of all longitudinal lines, it has the most real estate, so prices should be cheap right? :)

  14. Re:So what happens to all that energy? on Failing Ocean Current Raises Fears of Mini Ice Age · · Score: 4, Interesting

    if you look at the globe, it would be a warm spot in the middle of the atlantic... I'm not sure what this would do, but since it would be continually pushed, it would mostlikely split off at a fork... making Mauritania and Algeria even warmer and probably creating a SUBER UBER JUNGLE (forgive me) and probably warming up the caribbean as well as lots of hurricanes.... we'll probably have to start using chinese symbols or something after we run out of our symbols

  15. Re:Strawman's defence on Diebold Threatens to Pull Out of North Carolina · · Score: 1

    whats worse to be convicted of? A scandal involving theft of source code, or a scandal involving the theft of a presidency? Which would hurt your company more is what you need to be asking yourself - becuase after looking through all these threads, the shady people that own diebold could probably care less about stealing source code.

  16. Obviously the news filters do on ICANN Considers Single Letter Domains · · Score: 1
    so deal with the fact your stories are getting rejected and his aren't. I'm really sick of people beating down on someone becuase they find news the moderators will post. Its nothing but offtopic drivel, and whoever made the parent insightful should be stripped of any rights to hand out points.

    Also, I care enough so that i'm posting this knowing that i'll get modded OT.

  17. I always knew that those goto statments were great on Goto Leads to Faster Code · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    i mean come on...

    10 ?"goto statements remind me of 7th grade and looking through the hole in the girls changing room"
    20 goto 10

  18. I want a plot... on No More Lunar Land for Sale · · Score: 1

    on the dark side

  19. whats the point here? on Terabit Fiber (In 2010) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean, we all run the same type of hard drives that can barely get over 10 megs of transfer speed a second (if you have a raptor or perhaps a raid array), so why are all these people trying to break the latest record? Where is that going to get us besides making these lines of transmit our backbones for the internet? And my second question is, how did they do this.... did they store the movie in a ramdrive of some sort and transfer it to a ramdrive, becuase its obvious its not possible with CONVENTIONAL rotary drives.

  20. This is so funny.... on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1
    before, all incidents boiled down to "We, the united states have more nukes that you, so you do what I say!"

    What's the US gonna do now? Nuke the enternut?

  21. I wonder..... on Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice · · Score: 1

    If I were a person in a low lieing area, or island perhaps, I would be one of the first people to buy some real estate in arctic.... then I would slap the government for not signing on the kyoto of course. =p

  22. I know its a dupe but.... on BitTorrent Gets $8.7 Million in VC Funding · · Score: 1

    if you were skeptical, you could say bram cohen designed this for the RIAA to look at and say "Shit... we better do something, lets buy him out" - it would be a quick way to make some cash.

  23. No video on Giant Squid Caught on Film · · Score: 2, Funny

    looks like the giant squid will continue to remain uncaught on cameras. Personally I think they are just really ET's who like to have a nice sauna in our freezing oceans.... What?! Prove me wrong.

  24. Re:Vid cards come to mind... on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 1
    i believe it is something like "[BEST BUY] Official Geek Squad MRI CD"

    I just woke up... what can I say...

  25. Vid cards come to mind... on What's On Your Tech Bench? · · Score: 2, Informative
    how often do you hear that awful 3 beep'er? Lets say some PFY has decided to flash their 9800pro to an 9800XT but forked it up... I hate to be scandelous, but pop a PCI vid card in there, reflash it, and take that puppy to ebay and make another hundred bucks.

    Also, I *heard* through the grapevine that a supposed Geek Rescue cd is avaliable on some torrent sites. And i've also *heard* that what is on there is quite useful in many ways. I'm sure you already have a disk similar to this, but what i've *HEARD* about this cd is that it is pretty handy. ;P
