    Yes, they had a huge code, but there wasn't enough space in the margin to fit it in.

    Depending on how you want to think about it, it was funny or inevitable or symbolic that the robotic takeover did not start at MIT, NASA, Microsoft or Ford. It started at a Burger-G restaurant in Cary, NC on May 17, 2010. It seemed like such a simple thing at the time, but May 17 marked a pivotal moment in human history.

  7. Re:Let the market speaks on Lone Programmer Writes 352 Webcam Drivers For Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What if you got the camera without realising it?
    What if its been sat in a drawer for years 'cos it worked "sometimes" and you didn't find a real use because of the stability?
    What if it was second hand?
    Some people cannot afford to waste money buying extra kit and won't look the gift horse in the mouth.

    We have become such a wasteful generation.
    If something doesn't quite work right, we throw it away.

    Cameras are technically simple and most will work in a similar manner (theres only so many ways you can send the same data across a wire). My bet is this guy has created a core driver and is using variants on the devices, this allows all those useless cameras before to now be usable. There must be millions of similar working devices around the world.

    Why bitch at him for helping?

    People now won't have to suffer with crap 'cos they can be made to work well (apparently).
    props to him.

  8. Quick way to do it on How to Stop Digg-cheating, Forever · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Make all digg articles as long as this.
    That way its simply a case of attrition to see if people can scroll far enough to "digg it".
    chances are they will lose interest when something shiney in the sidebar [AMAZING!!!!! PICTURES!!!!!] catches their eye.

    If you start to ask them to filter one specific thing then it means they are taking away their impartiality.

    My take on this is that standard def freeview will continue, but if you want a HD version you need 2 boxes?

  13. Most reliable printer I ever owned on Kodak Challenges HP's Printer Sales Model · · Score: 1

    The most reliable printer I ever owned was a citizen 120d
    Never ever had a problem with clogged pores or not working - even leaving it months without use and coming back would miraculously find it still works - just like a typewriter.

    Ribbons were as cheap as biro pens.
    For 99% of the printouts I need, I could still happily use one.

  15. I wonder what level they are blocking? on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wonder what level are they blocking?

    If its at the wall, won't internal sharing continue?
    Just because you can stop the data coming in via p2p means doesn't mean the data won't be there (waste/DC can exist in a private garden without ever touching the real net).

    Or is this an active process which does a portscans your machine continuously?

    Failing everything else, there is always sneakernet. Expect a rise in blanks in the area.

    No, I think its right to point out the limitations and practicalities of installing certain software.
    However, I believe they should be stated in one legible none scrolling frame.
    Further information can be linked to any point, but what a user sees upon installation are clear plain English terms.

  17. Not the first time on Intel Opens Its Front-Side Bus · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This isn't the first time socket sharing has occured

    The old Socket 7 used to fit Intel and AMD and Cyrix.
    Hell, it can even house socket 5 cpus!

    Back then it wasn't a big deal to upgrade a CPU.

    All the companies started changing sockets at a frantic pace and made a simple CPU update essentially mean a whole machine.

    A new motherboard for the new socket but it also has new memory footprint as well so that gets replaced, and the PCIx slot won't fit my agp card.
