  2. Interesting on Reliving The Glory Days of SGI · · Score: 5, Informative

    I was at a confernce in orlando last week, and there was a parallel conference which seemed to be mostly military simulation stuff, they seemed to be pretty strong there. Guess they moved to the more lucrative stuff.

  6. Re:Don't blame Internet Explorer this time on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 1
    wrongo!

    dont forget bad packets which causes win9x to die! :) and a handfull of other bad os stuff.

    The users are always blamed for microsoft's bad software, why cant they just ship a good product (hard) instead of blaming the users for not patching (easy)?

    hmmmm

  7. Re:How to remove these devices? on Automobile Black Box Sends Driver to Jail · · Score: 1

    There's an article on NYtimes: about this very subject.

  10. Reality check on Java SDK 1.5 'Tiger' Beta Finally Released · · Score: 1

    Are you serious??
    You should try to do some netowrk programming, say for example real time analysis of netowrk packets, see if java can handle a gigabit network...I didnt think so.
    Java has gotten a lot better, and the learning curve is shorter, I think generating machine code from byte code would make it as fast as c/cpp , something like what gcc/java is doing.

  11. What else is news? on US Govt Makes Times New Roman 14 Official Font · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm not sure I get why this is posted on slashdot?
    is switching fonts some type fo huge technilogical leap for the government?

  12. Redundency Check? on What's Inside the Mars Rovers · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I read somewhere that the shuttle spacecraft, has 6 computers for redundancy checks.

    Your Average plane have a triple backup system, I spoke to some engineer and he said preflight checks are usally just making sure two of the systems are still working

    you'd think they could at least send up some more hardware with these little critters. The extra weight would pan out, when things go bad...case in point see what they are dealing with now :)

  13. same as baby monitors on Warspying in San Francisco · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is exactly what happens with your typicall baby monitor. People dont realize they are broadcasting their life to all their neighbors.
    In fact thats what happened to me, i bought a monitor, but its useless, since all the channels are being used by my neighbors.

    At least I have something to do if I'm ever bored.
    Its like a baby crying radio channel :)

  14. just check archive on TiVo Buys Super Secret Strangeberry · · Score: 5, Informative

  15. Re:AOL is the Wal*Mart of the Internet. on AOL Tests Sender Permitted From / E-mail Caller ID · · Score: 1

    I dont agree, just forcing everyone to jump through the hoops is a surefire way to lose customers, think if aol forced you to use windows...you think linux will die?

  16. Re:RIAA Making Their own Coffin on Gabriel and Eno Start Digital Music Artist Union · · Score: 1

    but how many artists really have the savy to understand they are being cheated by the big corporations?
    proof is in the pudding, how many artists riaa has on board?...tons
    I think they mistakenly beleve (they being the artists) that if they giv eup profits, riaa will do all the work for them :)

  17. Re:What about Torvalds? on Bill Gates to be Knighted · · Score: 0

    And people are still wondering why bill is getting the knighthood?

    Its not a question who deserves it

  18. duped but interesting on Darl & SCO Overview · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ill point this out:
    "We haven't published the exact number yet," McBride said. "It's not in the dozens, but it's, you know, we've had some that have started to sign up."
    is that supposed to make sense?
    Does one count as any?

  19. whos getting the money? on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 0

    Here's an interesting question:
    If these people get sued and the Riaa wins, can they collect it off these commercials (past earnings)?
    and here's a better one:
    would they still download music for free?

    where do I sign up......

    why not start a slashdot effort to combat sco....although they might have nothing but vapor-arguments, they seem to be winning over companies who only understnad blinky red lights.
