  1. Re:NewsFlash: Lego Starship NOT exact scale!!! on Building the Enterprise D Out of LEGOs. · · Score: 1

    ya know, instead of using dimensions, you could, uhm, eyeball it

  2. Re:dumb on Indiglo Clock Case Mod · · Score: 1

    no, but it sure as heck matters!

    I suspect theres been a long term performance problem with LCDs, probbly lost a whole 0.05 FPS so this mod indirectly increases cpu speed slightly?

  3. Re:GOOD! on Hard Drive of the Future: Ram Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    *cough*DVD-Rom Drives spin*cough*

  4. Re:What's the point? on Hard Drive of the Future: Ram Drive · · Score: 2, Funny

    >What's the point of this?
    You must not be a geek if you need to ever ask that.
    >You can already create RAM drives using the memory you have in your machine. You don't need a dedicated unit to do it.
    Yes you can, but can you plug those ram drives into a UPS and keep the contents between reboots?
    >Heck, I could create meagre RAM drives on my 640KB Amstrad PC1640 (8086).
    So?

    >Why not just fit your PC out with 4GB of fast DDR RAM and do it that way? That memory would be far cheaper than this card.
    What if I want 4gigs of ram AND a ramdrive? I don't, one gig of ram is enough...

    Personally I don't get why people always expect products to have a really necessary use ;)

  5. Re:Picture from my home on How Looks Your Geekroom? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I only see blurred out stuff when I'm- nevermind that. Whats with the blurring of your bookshelf?

  6. Re:Another reason NOT to switch to blue on "Red is Dead" Optical Mice LED Change · · Score: 1

    Simple current source being the USB power itself?
    My bloo mouse is a radioshack bloo led and a resistor hooked up to 5volts and ground.

    Red Green and Yellow are close because its basically the same technology.

  7. Re:Verisign? Does that mean on Root Zone Changed · · Score: 1

    >that we are going to need Microsoft passport to make changes to DNS now?
    Is that a joke? a troll? is it a geniune thought? or are you using the "ask-a-question" shell script? Just curious ;)

  8. "Minix is dying!"? on The End Of Minix? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    this post makes me think of that BSD is dying stuff ;o
    Minux is dying! Clearly you can see that because its users don't use X windows!

    Just had to ;)

  9. Re:Its all in the architecture on Are Internet News Sites Ready for Major World News? · · Score: 1

    probbly because while the servers can tell the difference of which side of the transatlantic border you're on, the website programming can't!

  10. Re:Gahhh on Laptop Fuel Cells Approved For Air Carriage · · Score: 1

    Well I'm sure people will just refil the old cartidges. Another direction this could go is equivalent to the AA battery. Have a fuel cell that works for both a laptop and a kill robot of destruction. or something

    still stumped as to what an A size batter looks like...

  11. News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. on E-Book Copy Protection, For What It's Worth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    if they didn't break the encryption, and all they did was take pictures and OCR it, is it still news? thats the digital equivalent of a photocopy. I must be missing the punchline to this story...

  12. Re:Its all about the Benjamins...... on Xbox Live Beta Report · · Score: 1

    >I wonder how long it will be until someone has figured out how to set up an 'illegal' P2P network to 'illegally' play your games online without paying? I hope anyone who works towards that does it for fun/education, instead of trying to "stick it to the man". Zealotism can only go so far.

  13. horray something to download! on InvisibleNet Presents IIP · · Score: 5, Funny

    I gotta love slashdot, just before I decided to cave in and do homework, theres a post on slashdot involving downloading, irc AND encryption!

  14. forgot something... on Learning UNIX for Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why should MacOSX Users learn UNIX? The other review of this book I read said that that point wasn't covered.

  15. Re:Bad idea on New Technology for Digital Democracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So wait a sec here, if you restrict people that can vote to people that can blow $400, will those people put thought into it? I don't think so, I think people that can throw $400 away will go vote randomly because they can.

  16. Re:Free? on P2P Internet Radio · · Score: 1

    Whats stopping them? thier code is probbly very very hodge podged, messy and confusing

  17. Re:That's my article! -Answers to some of the quer on Linux At The BBC [updated] · · Score: 1

    I think they want to encode multiple streams on the same box from one audio source/device. I could be wrong of course.

  18. Re:Let me get this straight ... on Discarded AT&T Microwave Bunkers For Sale · · Score: 1

    bunkers spaced 50 miles apart with microwave towers isn't really economic, personally I think these things are a neat piece of history. Hopefully one is kept intact for boring little kids.
