  1. star trek? on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 2, Interesting

    hrm, we're coming ever closer to many more star trek gadgets...nice...to be able to "print" a device of my choosing is nice...however...it could be nice to make the parts printed interchangable...print off pieces, put them together, a functioning device...and if something on it fails, replace that certain piece. Note that as with all technology, everything starts out expensive...maybe the machine itself will become dirt cheap like regular printers (except the companies will charge an arm and a leg for the "ink" still)

  2. XM and others still good on Low Profile Satellite TV Antennas for Vehicles · · Score: 1

    I have Dish Network...their audio programming sucks balls. On top of that, its worthless for me to have a TV and satellite reciever in the car if i'm the only one driving it.

  3. Hrm, his site may be down on Doom Archive Reopened · · Score: 3, Informative

    But hes teaching for the Arts and Engineering program at the University of Texas at Dallas (where I'm hoping to go, major in computer science however)... Why yes this IS John Romero's name on the faculty list :P

  4. Redundancy? on WinXP and WinAmp Vulnerable to Malicious MP3s · · Score: 1

    An attacker could create a malicious MP3 or WMA file, that if placed in an accessed folder on a Windows XP system, would compromise the system and allow for remote code execution. The MP3 does not need to be played, it simply needs to be stored in a folder that is browsed to, such as an MP3 download folder, the desktop, or a NetBIOS share.

    Anyone see the redundancy too?

  5. Next time on Fox News... on When Sysadmins Go Bad · · Score: 1, Funny

    When Sysadmins Attack!! Watch as they reprogram their employers servers to backfire...muhahahaha...Now watch as they make millions off the stock they sold by destroying their company!! It's so gruesome, it could only be on Fox News! ::Check your local listing for times::

  6. Wait a second... on Adult Swim Gets Three More Anime Series · · Score: 1

    When Inu Yasha was added, Candidate for Goddess was taken out....will 3 current running series be replaced by the new series?

  9. Shucks.... on Human-Computer Interfaces From 2003 to 2012 · · Score: 1

    I was hoping we'd have a "Minority Report" like HID in the near future....crap...back to the old keyboard :(

  10. What a waste(no pun intended)... on Tornado in a Can · · Score: 5, Funny

    To test their theory, the Vortex folks have thrown in rocks, diapers, tomatoes, sweet potato rejects from the farm down the road, 400 pounds of Oreo cookies, frozen pizza dough, even a dead bird.

    Damn...what a waste of Oreo's :(

  11. The simple solution.... on Cable Companies Despise PVRs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    is to go dish!

  12. Small towns lose on IBM, AT&T and Intel Plan National Wireless ISP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I live in a small town (25k people)...We have DSL, and wireless internet options, but the prices are outrageous, $100 to install a wireless antenna and $50/month. For the DSL, you have to pay $20/month to a local ISP for an ip address, and another $30/month to the DSL provider (the DSL modem is an additional $150!)...there needs to be competition for broadband as well as access to it.

  13. The Great FIREwall? on The Great Firewall of China - Samples of Filtered Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't think the Mongolians will be able to get through this wall anytime soon....

  14. Wait... on A Reconfigurable High-Res Network Camera · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    can it run on lin...ahhh, never mind

  15. Anyone up for Quake 101? on An Interesting Look at the Video Game Industry · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The University of Texas at Dallas has a new Art & Engineering program that just started up...They brought in two game designers John Romero and Tom Hall to teach a few classes on game programming. Theres a story on it in the college's own publication the UTD Mercury

  16. Wait a sec... on West Virginia Joins Massachusetts in MS Appeal Bid · · Score: 1

    Take internet explorer out of windows...and windows ain't windows anymore(wasn't this proved, by accident, during one of the court sessions?)....rofl...everytime my browser crashes on my pc (i'm typing on a mac), my desktop crashes as well....This is gonna be interesting to see how M$ will take the windows out of Windows...

  17. No! on Time Warner Properties May Only Be Available Through AOL · · Score: 1

    I will not be denied the pleasure of watching Harry Potter trailers on my non-AOL dialup connection!

  18. Get out of here Spielburg! on Spielberg to Produce Live-Action Tintin Movie(s) · · Score: 1

    Tintin was an awesome cartoon! I watched it like everyday on Nickelodeon.....but Speilburg...shit...the result is gonna do one of two things: suck really bad, or kick major ass....seeing how he f*cked up AI (which I was hoping would be a good movie...much to my dissapointment..I want to study AI in college)..I think hes gonna screw this one up as well

    No wonder why there isn't anything good out there at the movies....noone is coming up with anything original..they have to steal from someone else and warp the crap out of it. Hey Spielburg, we need originality...give us something new, not reprocessed films.. this message goes out to the rest of the industries...we need INNOVATION...not CRAP

  19. What the?! on DOS Attacks On DNS Provider · · Score: 1

    I was wondering why /. seemed a bit sluggish...

  20. Now they'll set their own fire! on University of Twente NOC Fire Arson · · Score: 1

    Now they will go out and buy P4 3 ghz servers...when their building burns down again, they can turn around and sue Intel!!

  21. A clear sign of past stupidity on LANL Warning About Radioactive Trees · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We were REALLY stupid back in the early atomic days...its not a surprise that there are still radioactive tress...hell...LANL still has SH*TLOADS of transuranic waste waiting for shipment to permanent storage facilities (WIPP?).

  24. Upgrade my mac? HA! on No Need to Upgrade that PC? · · Score: 1

    Macs were meant to be used over longer periods of time than PC's were. I'm typing this post on a 2 year old iBook 466mhz...the only thing I need to upgrade on this machine is maybe the hard drive and ram

  25. Wait... on Lik-Sang To Take On The Big 3? · · Score: 1

    M$ already screws over owners of modded Xboxes by banning them from the Live service...why are they going after Lik-Sang still?

    I really think its stupid tho how us PS2 owners in the US can't play the uber-cool games that come from Japan. Sony would make soooo much more money if they allowed their PS2's to play US and imported games.
