  1. Re:How to make the warranty work for you on Kensington Laptop Locks Not So Secure · · Score: 1

    We had 2 laptops stolen recently (in America). The police DID take prints.

    Whether they did anything with them may be another question.

    if he takes an Advil Cold and Sinus before his workouts he has enough energy

    I'm not a doctor, but if that has Sudafed/pseudoephedrine (sp?) in it, it is a STRONG stimulant, and is probably not good to take it long term. Speed (ephedrine) is basically refined/concentrated pseudoephedrine.

    When I was taking Sudafed for a nasty sinus infection, I was unable to sleep (exhausted but couldn't fall asleep), and temporarily developed high blood pressure.

    Yes, and their next game will be Super Turkey Punch 1!

    Ah... it talks about them attacking drywood termites here

  5. Re:Meanwhile, in Argentina on Super Ant Colony in Australia · · Score: 1

    Be careful... drywall/drywood termites are small and black and only sometimes have wings, so they can be easily mistaken for ants.

    Although if you are seeing trails of them, they should be ants.

    So the more interesting question to me would be what caused the driver lost control.

    Perhaps he fell asleep at the wheel?

    Another option would have been limited battery life for the flashlight.

    But then they'd have to add this message when your batteries run out:

    Beethoven was completely deaf in his later years but it didn't stop him from composing the 9th symphony, arguably one of his greatest works.

    A company I dealt with (and had to hold a lot for) had a system that said:

  15. Re:The magic of RGB "white" on Sony Projector Gets Bright Images From Black Screen · · Score: 1
    I'd like somebody to publish a book of colors we can't see in video or print-- but it would have to be in print, so I'm not sure how they'd do it. Custom non-CMYK ink, I guess.

    Pantone color books (and their inks) IIRC are made with single-pigment inks. They are also quite expensive.

    The same may be true of some paint-chip books.

  16. Re:Prism problems? on Jean Tourrilhes On Linux Wireless LAN · · Score: 1

    Well, the Prism I was talking about was actually on RH9 (I'm using the Cisco on FC2).

    I don't see the WLan-NG tools on FC2, but I didn't actually try sticking the D-Link card in.

  17. Re:What we all *really* want to know: on Jean Tourrilhes On Linux Wireless LAN · · Score: 1

    You might want to look at system-config-network if you're using Fedora. Make sure you run it from within X-Windows as the curses console version is very limited.

    You can apparently setup multiple profiles so you can have different configurations for different locations.

  18. Re:Expert wireless Recommendations please? on Jean Tourrilhes On Linux Wireless LAN · · Score: 2, Informative

    My DLink PrismII card works, but only after installing the WLAN-NG drivers/tools, which are NOT included in many linux distributions, even Fedora Core 2.

    I now have a Cisco Aironet 350 from work, and it works with the driver built-in to the kernel.

    If I had to buy another card, I'd still get a PrismII or Prism54 because of price.

    At least in the US, Yoshinoya's "beef bowl" is made with rubber, not beef.

    Why would they need FSAA on if it's ray traced?

    Probably because they're only rendering to 512x512.

    Can anyone reccomend a good book on digital photography?

    I spent a few minutes recently looking through O'Reilly's Digital Photography Hacks... it has sections on white balance, etc.

    BTW, if you have a camera that can shoot RAW format, you can do white balance totally in software, without having to worry about it at all while shooting.
