  1. This is really sad... on The Weak Signal Challenge - Decode and Win $100 · · Score: 1

    Took the wave file, loaded it onto a windows pc. Loaded Nero wave editor. Select All. Analize Noise, Remove Noise, adjust equalizer... Clear, perfect morse code file... All in 15 seconds work... Sad, isnt it?

  2. A tip to hear with just ears. on The Weak Signal Challenge - Decode and Win $100 · · Score: 1

    Put the file into XMMS or Winamp, depending if your in linux or windows. Turn on the AMP/Equalizer, and drag everything except 12-14k down to nothing. Play, turn up speakers, unplug ears and listen. You'll hearn a pattern starting out with what sounds to ..-...-.- It goes by way to fast for me to pick up much more than that. But I suppose I could get less lazy and slow it down.

  3. Re:Who needs Matlab? I can hear the morse code bee on The Weak Signal Challenge - Decode and Win $100 · · Score: 2

    **I call bullcrap. You listening to 3 seconds of it instaltly make you an expert ** Well, he's right. I also can clearly hear the dots and beeps in that file, with nothing more than turning up the treble amp on a pair of laptop speakers. Three other "witnesses" in the room with me at the time can also hear it just fine. And yes, we listened to the whole thing. Doesnt sound like a very long message. Since I've got better things to do with my time than jot it all down and translate it, I'll leave it to someone who actually has to work to earn the $100, not someone who can hear it. PS. You know those "unhearable, ultrasonic" pest repeller things? I know 5 people, inluding myself, who can hear those damn things ticking :p

  4. A great event? on MacFixIt Details Mac OS X 10.2.8 Bugs · · Score: 1, Funny

    Guess they made the first apple that bites you back? :)

  5. Sounds Vulcan. on Sebek2 - A Kernel-based Data Capture Tool · · Score: 1

    Does this mean you do setup with a vulcan mind meld, and close the program with a neck pinch?

  6. Re:How long? on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 1

    Half a Terrabite? What are you, a moron? Each full dvd is gonna compress down to less than a GB total for the resolution of an ordinary 1 hour tv series, its certainly not going to be a 500 DVD SET! And so your dsl connection sucks ass, the rest of us are on nice, unlimited, 2-5 mbps, cable internet. Which is nicely free of upload and download restrictions if you shop around the competition. So, I, and many others, will happily be downloading dvd sets of Star Trek, freshly ripped in the latest divx codecs.

  7. If you get the wrong address... on TCP/IP over Bongo Drums · · Score: 1

    Does it rain? Snow.. What kind of cerimonial dance does a misplaced letter make. ;)

  8. Reminds me of the time... on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 1

    I got a spam letter in the mail, saying That if I signed up for $40, I could submit Addresses, (postal, not email) and names, and for each valid name address combo I would recieve.. 10? 20 cents? With no limit on the number I could submit. I pondered signing up and mailing them one of those "US ALL NUMBERS" phone books, but they cost too much.. lol

  9. Re:Even better on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the miracle bed of healing magnets with the electroshock muscle machine attached to his nipples :)

  10. Gay Porn Alert! Lol on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nice way to hide some gay porn?

  11. How long? on The Borg MegaCube · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So, its making its appearance in Europe.. so that means it'll take what... 3? 4 hours for the bit-torrent links to start popping up to fresh encoded episodes in dvd quality with surround sound? They might be making a HUGE mistake not putting it out in more than one market. And you know they're gonna throw a fit when everone in the rest of the world gets pirate versions.

  12. Definately not the right one. on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Since the mobile home park is on a Blvd. Not a Ave... unless its so huge they decided to give it its own street system?

  13. Something you can due. on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 1

    Due to the fact that it is a cell phone, and, under almost all cell phone plans currently, you have to pay for Text Messages and calls, incoming and outgoing, it is illegal in the united states to send unwanted text/audio spams to cell phones. You may take the offending business to court and collect $500 to $5000 just for recieving said message.

  14. An Address ;) on Interview With a Spammer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Thought about this for about 30 seconds, checked, and, what do you know :) I bet if enough of us had a bit of fun signing up catalogs and free brochures, and phone calls for more information to. Richard Colbert. Sunset Colony MH Park 2400 W Broward Blvd Fort Lauderdale 954-583-8602 The mobile home park might get pissed and kick him out? This is the park's address and phone, not his. ;) so extra annoying for them :)

  15. Lets all let them know how we feel! Email here... on VeriSign Responds To ICANN's SiteFinder Advisory · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It may seem like a lot of effort, but, if everyone who hates this service just sends them a few words saying so, by email, by putting the following list of every address they have into their send line, they wont have an email system at all :) And it might be just a little fun too! Here they are :) All 1 line, with , inserted, so you can just copy and paste it :) consultingsolutions@verisign.com, websitesales@verisign.com, verisales@verisign.com, clientpki@verisign.com, internetsales@verisign.com, paymentsales@verisign.com, dnssales@verisign.com, digitalbranding@verisign.com, vts-mktginfo@verisign.com, channel-partners@verisign.com, premiersupport@networksolutions.com, authenticode-support@verisign.com, objectsigning-support@verisign.com, enterprise-sslsupport@verisign.com, vps-support@verisign.com, webhelp@verisign.com, practices@verisign.com, renewal@verisign.com, vts-csrgroup@verisign.com, info@verisign-grs.com

  16. Re:Not -that- surprising, I guess. on More Info on Phantom Game Console · · Score: 1

    Well for starters stop shopping at dell, eveyone knows they sell products with an extra couple hundred dollars pasted on the price. A $500 video card! OMG.. what're you buying, a 512Mb ram 1.5ghz processor card! You can get a G-Force 4600 on sale for $149 if you u watch the papers, and theres nothing wrong with the graphics in that. And I cant remember the last time a video card didnt work with specific games... And excuse us that a few of us actually wanna play games in a resolution above that of a Television, with online play that doesnt cost us extra per month and come with tiles like "LIVE!"...

  17. Apititude on Gesture Control for Automotive Peripherals · · Score: 1

    It's really not a question of hands, phones, pushing buttons, where your looking or any of those accident reasons that people throw out to explain cell phones and bad driving. Really, what we have here is a matter of Aptitude. Some people, when driving and recieving or making a call, never look at their phone. These users reach out, work their phone, radio, various pieces of their automobile all by touch. The phone doesnt distract them or make them reckless cause their completely capable of doing several things at once. In fact, they probably always do several things at once. Then there's the rest of the cell phone users, about 90% of the population? Probably a high number but maybe not for some area's. heh. Anyway, these users need to look at their phone every time they do anything with it... they drive down the road staring intently at the radio just to change the station. You see them weaving abuot and following lines whenever they do anything but drive. So what it really comes down to, is ability. Some of us can use the cell phone, and all the better to us, nothing should take that away. Nothings gonna fix this cause no ones gonna wanna sit though an aptitude test to see if your smart enough to drive!.. never know how many people would fail! lol
