  1. Re:Worlds Larget Lighting Rod on Energy from High-Altitude Kites · · Score: 1

    Set up a substation to convert the lightning into power!

  2. Re:The Prius/hybrids actually isn't good at all on High Speed Steam Powered Car · · Score: 2, Informative

    You do realize that most hybrids (my Prius included) use NiMH batteries?

  3. Re:Video Link on Walking In A VR Future · · Score: 1

    correction, Here

  4. Re:Video Link on Walking In A VR Future · · Score: 1

    torrent up at http://www.lokitorrent.com/download.php?id=13349&n ame=circulafloor.mpg%5Bwww.lokitorrent.com%5D.torr ent.
    They can't even fill my DSL connection, they're gonna need some help.

  5. Re:Video Description on Walking In A VR Future · · Score: 1

    It's a prototype, come on. Yes, he's only taking small steps and the floors are having trouble keeping up, but that's probably the speed of the floors. Faster floors = faster walking. This is an amazing prototype that could become an even cooler product.

  6. Volunteers? on Mice In Space · · Score: 1

    Hey, can I volunteer my mouse? I sure hope it's not a one-way trip...

  7. Re:Bah! on Exxon And Timex Release The Speedpass watch · · Score: 1

    Screw that, my watch is within a second or so (my personal one is always a second fast, my friend's isn't) of the correct time and it can recieve alphanumeric pages! Of course, it has an email gateway, so I can use procmail on my primary address and...

  8. Damn! on Exxon And Timex Release The Speedpass watch · · Score: 1

    Now I'll have to wear two watches! I mean, how could any body survive without a Timex Internet Messenger. Oh well, I guess it doesn't look too nerdy to wear two watches, right? Hey! I could have two timers then! Or 6 alarms! Or 4 timezones! The possibilities are endless.

  9. encrypted wma? Linux? on Digital Music Stores Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Okay, cool. I think these new music stores are a good idea. But wait, the music comes in encrypted wma format! Is there any linux app that can play that, or are we still stuck with windows for playing legal music?

  10. SBC DSL caps your speed below what they offer on Have You Fought Your ISP Over Bandwidth Limits? · · Score: 1

    I used to get something like 1Mbps on my SBC DSL line. A few months ago, that suddenly dropped to a max of 320Kbps. They say they guarantee 384 at least, but even their own bandwidth meter measures me below that! I emailed them asking what's going on, and have gotten absolutely no response. This isn't exactly my ISP asking me to reduce my bandwidth usage, they're actually restricting me below even what they guarantee.

  11. Tracker is Down on Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I had to take the tracker down. Catch y'all later.

  12. Re:Leave your torrent WINDOW OPEN AFTER DNLD! on Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    Um, the reason is that I'm tracking with my desktop box. I will shut down at some point, thus killing the torrent. I'll try to find another tracker before then though.

  13. torrent on Walgreens PureDigital Camera Hacked · · Score: 1

    Before the site got too bogged down, I was able to grab a copy of the bbs discussion and the photos of the hack and put it in a torrent. My tracker is at http://209.233.28.4:6969/. I won't be up for long, but hopefully long enough.

  14. Caltrain? on First UK On-Train WiFi Service Launches Monday · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All right! Now, how long till Caltrain (Bay Area commuter rail) gets this?

  15. Silicon Valley? on Utah Cities To Provide High-Speed Net Access · · Score: 1

    Okay, cool. Now, when do we get this in Silicon Valley? Is our great new governor Arnie going to do this for us? Or are we going to have to wait for Comcast to go ahead and do what they're threatening to do.

  16. Re:Very convenient... on 802.11b Memory Stick for CLIE · · Score: 1

    That's more of a Bluetooth application. There has been a Bluetooth memory stick around for a while. I agree completely with what you want, I just think there's a better technology for this.

  17. Re:Typical Sony on 802.11b Memory Stick for CLIE · · Score: 2, Informative

    Fortunately, Athena America (previously EruWare) had made a CF memory driver. Now, despite Sony's annoying attempt to cripple their CF slot, you can use CF memory cards!

  18. Re:What kind of DRM on 802.11b Memory Stick for CLIE · · Score: 2, Informative

    Um, it's not a sony product. Thus, there's no DRM crap. This is a 3rd party trying to circumvent Sony's stranglehold on which CLIEs have WiFi.

  19. Re:This is FUD. We are already out of IP addresses on Dispelling the IPv4 Address Shortage Myth · · Score: 1

    I think the reasons that the ISPs screw you on the extra IPs are because they can, and, if you want more than one IP, you're probably somebody who wants more resources so it's going to cost them more.

  20. The Post-RedHat era on Red Hat Linux Support To End · · Score: 1

    So, let's assume that a bunch of us are going to move away from RedHat. What distro are we going to switch to? I know Fedora is an option, but I'm kinda pissed at RedHat in general. Debian is pretty cool, but it's sure not as slick as RedHat. I've been eyeing Gentoo, but I don't trust them to be around long enough to invest the time to put them on my server. What are your suggestions?
