  1. Re:marketing crippled pc's on Microsoft/HP to Market Crippled Entertainment PCs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Doesn't HP already do this with their hardware?

  2. Advantages? on Xbox Runs X, KDE, Gnome, StarOffice and Tuxracer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there any real advantage to doing this (graphics maybe??) on an X-box as opposed to a real pc or is just something to do when youre bored?

  3. Nooooooo.... on Water + Salt + Energy = Clean! · · Score: 1

    Water + Salt + Energy = Hydrogen + Chlorine + Sodium Hydroxide (lye)

  4. Re:We can LEARN from this!! on Comprehensive Win2k/Linux Comparison · · Score: 1

    Note to self...

    Put "Windows 2000 sucks","Linux sucks","Windows 2000 is great","Linux is great" in meta tags of next website.

  5. Re:Actually it is ENERGY DENSITY on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    However, what you can do (maybe) to save space, without being completely impractical, is to adsorb the hydrogen onto a surface. And this, of course, is what a fuel cell is all about. (It remains to be seen if this can be made practical.)

    Actually thats what metal hydrides are all about. The fuel cell is used to convert hydrogen back into water while producing energy from the reaction. The fuel cell is not the storage mechanism.

  6. I wonder what would happen on AtheOS · · Score: 3

    if I dual booted with the Jesux distro... I could have my very own holy war on my computer.

    If we could only figure out a way to use fishing line to network the things we would be set!

  8. Re:Hmm on Putting Your Brain into A Computer · · Score: 1

    Of course, you could be pedantic about it and say, well, your body replenishes itself by digestion of food into molecules, that become part of "you". So, really, none of you is the same after however long it takes to totally replenish you (however long that is).

    I believe it takes 7 years to replace every molecule in the human body. But I have no proof of that at the moment.


  9. Re:What's wrong with Transmeta on UPDATED: Transmeta's Crusoe Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I was going to add this at the end of my post but I forgot. Sorry I had to share. One of those coffee on the keyboard things.

    I would have to agree. We are very quickly becoming a "handheld" society -- palm pilots, internet ready cellular phones and most everybody has a laptop. Sure everybody wants that fast intel processor for home or work but when it comes to portable crusoe comes out way ahead. It wont take long before manufacturers will be using this processor for top-of-the-line models. The point is that they have the right idea for all mobile computers. How can it help but be the leading force in this market. With the very reasonable prices why wouldnt they be the first choice for manufacturers? Not to mention the "geek attraction" and "new coolest thing" which they would have to have patents on. Now add on Linus and the Slashdot effect -- how can they lose?

  11. Sneaky on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In · · Score: 1

    Did he step down to "Chief Software Architect" or whatever so he could stay in charge of windows after microsoft gets chopped up?

  12. I remember that... on 1970s Star Wars Christmas Special Reviewed · · Score: 1

    And all this time I thought it was a bad dream after watching Star Wars too many times.

  13. Re:My list... on Geek Christmas Ideas · · Score: 1

    My wife got me an early present of DSL for Christmas this year. There are lots of good deals going on right now on fast internet. Although I think she was just tired of me tying up the phone line. Plus, I still get more stuff when Christmas rolls around! The question is though what should geeks buy for their non-geek counterparts? In my opinion thats what is hard. She knows I will love most anything computer related

  14. Re:Paranoid Workers on Stealth Software Used To Spy On Employees · · Score: 1

    Personally I think you should be able to do what you want to on the internet while you are at work as long as you get your job done. I dont think you should be visiting www.bigtits.com mind you but if you are doing your job there should'nt be any reason to check up on you. If there have been problems in the past why would you be suprised your supervisors are checking up on you. I think that's the real ?. Should you be checked up on for no reason? I don't think so. But if you've shown you could be a cause for concern (sexual harrasment charges or poor job performance because your too busy with your porn) why should'nt they check up on you?

  15. Re:What about the other animals? on Genetic engineering boosts mouse intelligence · · Score: 1

    Yeah do you think if you made a bomb sniffing dog smarter he would still go looking for bombs? Drug sniffing dogs I can see but c'mon, BOMBS?
