  1. Re:Apple's "Intel-Macs" will shortly go AMD on AMD Launches Athlon 64 FX-57 · · Score: 1

    This is great flamebait congrats.

    First off it's for both cores, Dual cores run significantly cooler than two single cores.

    Second that is equivalent to a low end pentium of the current generation, ouch. Third that's maximum output.

    These things are actually remarkably cool, maybe 5%-10% hotter than the XPs were.

    You missed Turion... which is pretty badass as well.

    But Venice and San Diego are both pretty badass.

  3. Re:Quick Script + Gutenberg? on Amazon's 1,082-volume Classics Collection: $7,989 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Um as an English Major I must warn you Gutenberg sucks.

    It has massive massive editing errors and it really needs a certain level of accountability, not to mention the messages at the beginnning make it really sucky to read on a palm pilot.

    They used some bizzare formatting system which breaks it on most pocket devices, they decided not to use rtf or anything else with support for graphics (Corectly assuming that those were usually patented but still) the list just goes on and on.

    It could have been an excellent service but it falls just short.

    It's catalogue falls far short.

    I think jokes about bombs in airports are funny.

    What? I'm just saying.

  7. Rogers Canada Ontario on PC World's ISP Service Rankings, as of June 2005 · · Score: 1

    6 out of 10...

    Several problems won't support use of routers, and try and force garbage only windows software.

    Send out modems where more than 50-60 simultanious connections shut down modem and it has to be manually restarted.

    Technical support assumes you're a moron and blames everything on you.

  8. Re:"we" won? on Linux Chess Supercomputer Overpowers Grandmaster · · Score: 1

    Really, since every grandmaster has to study what came before them we build the grandmasters too.

    To be scared of your student such that you would weaken them is absurd and vaguely perverted.

    We knew they would be better, we knew cars would be faster. We'd better just suck it up and try and make them even better, pushing what we can imagine them doing, beating a human is great but computers have yet to beat each other to the point where the games are trivial though it shouldn't be long.

  10. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 1

    And if it becomes standard on everything?

    Filtered TV sets.


    No the Advertising genie is out of the bag, but as long as one person looks at the ads their price can only go up, the current price is somehting like what .002c a view? And .05c a click? .05 for steering a potential custom who wasn't thinking about buying a product your direction? That's absurd the real value to the company is somewhere around $4-5 and eventually the market will have to respect that true value a little more closely.

    You can't prevent cheating, couple the kill cam with a phone to your friend and suddenly your friend knows where that sniper is.

  13. Re:Brand loyalty... on GeForce 7800 GTX Review · · Score: 1

    Frankly I switched from ATI to Nvidia when NVIDia started posting better numbers and prices.

    But ATI makes far far superior drivers, NVIDIA drivers really suck right now...

    A certain level of brand loyalty is kind of necessary because you just can't know about things like when I run webpages with animated images and media files at the same time my video card (6600Gt) tries to play both and locks up.

    ATI would never ever do somehting like this, of course the x700 x600 and x300 were almost as much a joke as the 5600....

    If it's by song one angry pirate with a fat pipe can download more midis than they've ever sold songs in about 24 hrs.

    Hey we should do that! Can you transcode illegal mp3s to midi?

  20. Re:No way. on AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 Review · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whoever modded this guy insightful is a moron.

    When you overclock you upgrade several diffrent subsystems diffrent amounts.

    Perhaps the clock speed of the busses on his video card and CPU memory interface increased by 40%.

    Also there is obviously no overhead on the new cpu cycles... the list goes on.

  21. Mandrake on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 1

    Though mandrake tries to be really user friendly (and actually pulls it off to a certain extent).

    It's HELL to try and unlock when you want to make your first changes, if you're coming from windows and you just want to change some networking stuff or install a codec you will be faced with an absurd amount of security warnings and they make it tough to switch to root (You don't set your own password and there were a bunch of other problems).

    I've gotta go with redhat, though I'm new to Linux it comes with a ton of useful stuff, good options in terms of guis and has tonnes of support.

    Plus you can search for RPMs which is much easier than compiling everything from source.

    Debian's apt-get sounds pretty sexy and I'd like to see it resolve problems (without even prompting ALA redhat) but telling someone to start with jigdo? Please that thing is garbage and the installer isn't as friendly and...

    It's gotta be redhat.

    This is pathetic... Firefox changed it's name from Firebird because of trademark crappalazoo!

    But they forgot to trademark firefox? Whoooopppps!

    It's interesting because the Debian trademark and the firefox trademark are actually WORTH something now, it pays to distribute software with those names!

    It appears one of the flaws of open source has been exposed.

  24. Hardware? on Mobile Magazine's Notebook Tech Support Reviews · · Score: 1

    This is slashdot, we do our own installs we replace what's broken.

    A more interesting test would be to see who does the best job of replacing broken hardware.

    I'm pretty tired of dealing with garbage tech support when some peice of hardware is broken, replacing and fixing it at their end should be the norm.

    Replacing it before I send it in would be amazing but I understand the problems involved with such a setup.

    Refunding postage would be nice though :(

  25. Re:Victimless Crimes, in General on Viewing Files on the Web Considered Possession? · · Score: 1

    Some things are so horrific that any action that seems to condone or might motivate others to duplicate them is illegal.

    Another example is the Nuremburg trials where the Nazi experiments on Jews (Vivisection etc.) were ruled to be unusable by scientists for eternity to dissuade other scientists from using similar methods.

    The research has turned up in numerous American Colleges and research papers but that's neither here nor there, the point is when something is so obviously harmful to someone it becomes the responsability of society to try and dissuade people from doing it.
