  1. Re:I should have patented it... on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 1

    too late. i already own a device like this. nelson pass came up with the phantom acousics shadow decades ago to cancel standing waves in high end audio systems. it too has a mic amps and speakers to cancel out bass modes on room boundries. i think nelson has some patents on it but not sure how specific. the basic priciple is the same just a little different application.

  2. Re:Hmmm.... on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In my office we have an ozone generator that comes on after hours for a few hours. Ozone is a good oxidizer therefore o good sanitizer that can be circulated through the air. If the computers are left running at night the bacterias will get pretty well oxidized on a daily basis. Ozone, being an unstable molecule (O3) breakes back down into oxygen (O2) by morning. If you're paranoid about bacteria you might try this. I haven't noticed much difference in health, but it smells nice and fresh in the morning.

    slashdot needs to update thier corel logo to the urinal/toilet seat one corel went with

  5. Re:Victory... NOT! on HP Drops Microsoft Word in Favor of WordPerfect · · Score: 1

    great investment. i'm pretty sure ms paid $7.00 a share. corel just today closed above $1.00 to save them from being delisted. I think the ms cash infusion was to get them to stop the linux disto and apps. we'll have to wait and see what xandros does with it. ms got a lousy deal there - the whole corel linux team just moved to xandros.

  6. Re:This is fine and dandy... on HP Drops Microsoft Word in Favor of WordPerfect · · Score: 1

    I don't think breaking WP's filters would help microsoft's antitrust problems at this point. besides, corel and microsoft are friends now. With ms opening up their api's we should see more compatability, not less. This may not be the end for microsoft, but the companies who are still producing quality products like corel should benefit. I hear the 2002 office suite is pretty much bug free. the beta testers complained they couldn't find any bugs to report.
