  1. All your Matrices.... on The Computational Requirements for the Matrix · · Score: 1

    ... are belong to us..

  2. Another reason for ME to go to the moon.... on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..becuase I am the proud owner of 2 whole acres of the moon.

    What do you think taxes are going to be like....or am I behind already?

  3. Also... on ReplayTV and TiVo Compared · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure if MythTV or Freevo work with DirectTV.

  4. Umm.... on ReplayTV and TiVo Compared · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Still...I'd much rather use something like FreeVo or MythTV and actually burn my shows to cd, stream whatever I want, etc, etc."

    Who says you can't do that with TiVo? Also...Compare the prices of hardware you need to decently do a good job doing it your way. Why bother? At most, hack TiVo, put a few HD's in it and rip right off TiVo...at least then you have a hardware encoder and dont have to worry about everything being all shitty, and spending 1k on hardware

    Just my 2cents - Rob

  5. Re:Archiving from TiVo? on DVD Recording - Is There a Winner Yet? · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Kismet? on AirTraf 802.11b Security Package · · Score: 1

    What does this package offer that Kismet doesn't?

    Some stolen source code and ideas?

    Kismet definitily is the "Snort" of wireless detection, just like every other IDS company using snorts "engine".

  7. Re:East Fix on P2P Bandwidth Hogging the Net · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Or I could spell shit right and people will actually read it...

  8. East Fix on P2P Bandwidth Hogging the Net · · Score: 1

    Sanction 20% of the internet for p2p and multicast popular downloads or use a protocal like bittorrent

    A coworker mentioned this a few minutes ago, at first I thought he was crazy as usual (if your reading) but then I actually thought about it and it's not a bad idea.

  9. They are just pissed... on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Becuase Bruce Almighty made more money than them....they have to come up with some excuse for a shitty Jim Carrey movie beating them. Wouldn't you?

    Rob

  10. I'm already fully converted... on Canadian Telco Telus Moves All Call Traffic to the Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    ..I use Vonage for my phone at home. I do not even have a land-line installed in my apartment. I find the features to blow any phone company away, and the price and service is excellent.

    Besides the overall geekness of being totally VoiP, I have had nothing but good experiences with it.

    And I get to have an LA and NY number....

  11. WinZip on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 1

    WinZip by far should have won this.

    Also, I wonder if they count shareware downloads of programs and how they measure.

  12. NO on Is There Room for an IM only Device ? · · Score: 1

    NO.

  13. Re:I think my Zaurus SL-5500 rates as "cool" on Survey of Linux-Based Gadgets & Devices · · Score: 1

    Until you get through a song or two, and the battery dies because it sucks so damn bad!!

    I have a 5000-D with a 256SD and a CF WiFi. It is USELESS due to the low battery life. If I put the WiFi in I get at MOST an hour!

    You'll have to pry my blackberry out of my dying hands....

  14. IBM and Mainframes on Mainframe Techies Are A Dying Breed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, IBM is actually PUSHING people off of mainframes.....but pushing them to AIX!@!#

    If you have a mainframe and a suck-each-other-off relationship with IBM (as many companies do) your most likely being railroaded into a few p650's with AIX.

    It baffles me how this is a GOOD thing...really...almost like bad to worse!

    My comments our solely my opinion and do not reflect views of anything blah blah blah.....

  15. How about..... on Review of Sony Clie TG-50 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Something that has a feasible battery life, not huge, and has integrated wireless? The Zaurus was almost there...except it lacked just about all three!@!

    Show me a blackberry 957 size device that runs OZ and has wireless and a great batterylife, and im sold.

    Some expansion would be nice too!

    This IR remote crap etc. etc. is garbage. Focus on the REAL problems with PDA's today.

  16. Re:all systems crash, not just MS on Why Do Computers Still Crash? · · Score: 1

    Screw all of you with the MS vs. Linux wars@!@! hehehe...

    I found a novell server on my network (about 15k+ servers) that has been up for a few years. Amazingly enough, it was an AOpen dual pentium too! We just crowded around it...and...well pulled the plug. As far as we tested..it was running just fine.

    I have seen a few cases where an OS/2 warp machine was running for about 3 years without a hitch too.

  17. Good thing Symantec.... on Fizzer Worm Uninstalling Itself · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...didn't get a hold of the Geocities page...Otherwise there would be 120398123 people un-happy with a "free-trial" of Norton AV on thier desktop right now.

  18. Or..... on OS X Hacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    BSD for dummies ;)

  19. My Thoughts.... on TiVo For Radio? · · Score: 1

    I first thought of regular TiVo as being a waste of money.....until I purchased one. Now....I cannot think of the last time I have watched live tv, honestly. And I get so much more use out of my 400 channels I'm paying for.

    When I first thought of this for radio...I again..thought it was a waste of money. Then I thought of listening to a whole howard stern show...on the way HOME from work...skipping all the commercials. Right there it is worth it for me.

  20. Good to weed out.... on Google To Create "Blog" Search; Potentially Remove From Main · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most of the useless information people put into blogs. Although, when you search for information, would you want to search 2 different locations? This is the whole claim to googles fame. I have found that many times people post how-to's in thier blogs along with other information.


    If it ain't broke...don't fix it

    -Rob

  21. Good Code and Hardware on Self-Repairing Computers · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't better coding and better hardware be more efficient? This sounds a little silly. Perhaps, come quantum computers, maybe. Think of all the SA's that fix things that break all day who will be jobless.

    Rob

  22. Give 'em an inch... on Mac P2P Music Sharing with iTunes is Online · · Score: 1

    They take a mile.

    Now all the good press about Apple and music industry will go to shit.

    Go back to KaZaa.....

  23. More like.. on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 0, Troll

    HoMoLinux....

    I figure RedHat would try to be more like Windows first...but it seems these guys jumped on the bandwagon early.

    -Rob

  24. Maybe it's me.... on Junkyard Wars Tour · · Score: 1

    But I lost intrest after determining how horribly setup the show is...

    I now put this show in the same category as battlebots.
