  1. Wait a sec.... on Microsoft To Demo 'Palladium' At WinHEC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shouldn't this story be in the "Your Rights Online" page? Considering that clicking on Pallidum's EULA will be just like signing your soul over to the devil....I'll take an open source solution thank you very much.

  2. Someone hack it please? on Dell Takes the Low Road Regarding Ink Cartridges · · Score: 1

    Isn't there someone out there that can hack this prevention technology? It would be nice to make a chip to solder onto the printers mainboard to send a "full" signal regardless of the condition of the ink cartridge.

    Then again...would it be possible to do a hack via the means of software?

  3. Sorry on California Anti-Spam Law Approved · · Score: 1

    Due to funding, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

  4. Re:Facinating.....[ERRATA] on Apple Releases Security Update 2003-03-24 · · Score: 1

    horribly worded.....10.2.3's problems are due to the use of 3rd party drivers and programs. Sorry for any trouble I might have caused in the reading of the parent post...

  5. Facinating..... on Apple Releases Security Update 2003-03-24 · · Score: 1

    You have to run OS X 10.2.4 to get this patch. Does this mean that 10.2.3 is secure from this bug, or do I need to hook up to my mom's school's T1 line to be up to date? 10.2.3 has been running very, very smoothly with little or no problems (mainly due to 3rd party programs/drivers).

  6. Re:64 bit OS? on Apple to Announce new Mac OS X version in June · · Score: 5, Informative

    Funny thing about the PPC 970 is that it can handle 32-bit as well as 64-bit instructions. Panther would probably just add 64-bit support, rather than become a total 64-bit OS.

  7. Panther Rumors on WWDC 2003: Change of Date And Location · · Score: 1

    1. The OS will make a purring sound as you navigate the finder.

    2. It will ask you what a 64-bit number is before letting you run 64-bit applications.

    3. Panther will spout off crazy Apple rumors that turn out to be true.

    4. If two Macs, one running Jaguar, and one with Panther, sit side by side, growling may be heard

    5. Internet explorer will no longer be pre-installed on the machine, replaced by and Safari.

  8. iMac still goes on....and on.....and on on R.I.P. Original iMac: 1998-2003 · · Score: 1

    My brother has my old Bondi iMac 233mhz running the 10.2.4, and its still running great. Not to mention that he put in some extra memory, but then again, all computers could use extra memory.

    I wonder if they are slimming down their product line in anticipation of the PPC 970 line that is *cough, September* soon to come.

    I don't think this should be called as an RIP of the iMac, since the name still lives on, albiet its a totally different form factor.

  9. Re:What a waste on SETI@Home 2nd Look at Possible Hits · · Score: 1

    The distances they'd have to travel are enormous

    Who says that the aliens haven't been sending out radio waves for hundred or even thousands of years?

  10. Reminds me of that one ST:TNG ep on Speeding up Evolution · · Score: 1

    where a lab creates the perfect humans...yet after a reaction with a common flu (i think?), their antibodies cause all sorts of havoc, mainly causing the labs staff to age very rapidly... Unless the FDA approves this anytime soon though, I'm not too worried about it.

  11. One small step for man... on U.S. Army's Future Combat System Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    One giant leap for Linux.

  12. Now is the time to use the slashdot effect on Anti-Piracy Labeling Bill in Works · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My bad, its not L2 cache, but L3

  14. AMD may be too late for Hammer in Sept. on AMD Releases Barton: Athlon 3000+ · · Score: 3, Interesting

    IBM should have their Power970's out at least a month ahead...I don't remember where, but I heard they were going to release it in the 3rd Quarter of this year, presumably along with Apple's new release of a new (G5?) Power Macintosh, or XServe (just a rumor, don't flame me), although it may not go into full production until the end of the year. What about the Itanium 2? I haven't heard anything about that. Unless its not for desktops and only for servers. If that is the case, what is Intel coming out with to join the 64-bit desktop wars?

  15. PB 12" has no L2 cache :( on 12" Powerbook: Slick and Sexy, But Not Without Issues · · Score: 1

    This is probably the biggest thing keeping me away from buying one of these in the future. I have been hearing that the L2 cache helps out in alot of situations. And some of you are complaining about heat? I can't put my iBook SE on my lap for more than 30 minutes :P

    I love conversations RIFE with debate and contention!

  19. ummm, i hope they make different flavors on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    In the past three years, Kraft Foods Inc., the Coca Cola Company, Nestle and the Campbell Soup Co., which also owns such brands as Pepperidge Farm and Swanson, have signed major research deals with Senomyx Inc., one of the biggest biotech players in the rush to decode the genetics of taste.
    Great, now I can drink my smooth latte flavor coca-cola and eat my smooth latte flavor tomato soup while eating some latte flavor cheese and sausage. Later tonite I will eat a latte flavored Swanson dinner!

  20. Espresso plz? on Tampering with Taste Buds for Better Coffee? · · Score: 1

    Hrm, if they can make my coffee taste like a smooth latte, could they make it taste like an octo-espresso?

  21. GBA over TCP/IP? on Bluetooth, GSM, and Gameboy · · Score: 1

    I would really like to see some sort of adapter that lets me play on the internet against someone halfway across the nation. I don't want to have to buy a phone to do this.

  22. Re:It's a floppy disk on Credit Card sized 5GB HD to arrive late this year · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sure, the StorCard and the floppy have the same medium (Mylar disk), but StorCard's is apparently formatted different. Also note the 3600 rpm of the StorCard, while a floppy has what, 600 or 700 rpm? This thing is faster, stores more, and is dirt cheap for what you get.
