  1. Re:Spirit and Opportunity have Live Journals. on Emotional Bonding with Space Probes · · Score: 1

    Pathfinder/Sojourner has one too

  2. Re:Did the full review include... on Zaurus SL-6000 Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    I ran my SL-5500 as a web server for a few days just to test it. There is an apache distribution for it, with php included, but it does tend to run a little slow, probably due to the lack of physical ram on it.

  3. Re:For everybody defending Apple's DRM on Apple Hunts Playfair in India · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, it's different. Apple doesn't make an operating system or media player.....er...wait.... *runs off*

    Of course, the polar ice caps melting would cause the water levels to go down, since water expands when it is frozen.

  5. Re:Things that need to be pointed out. on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 1

    You know, I've had that idea myself. Haven't had a chance to set up a spare box for it though. Always wondered exactly what would cause enough problems to warrant it being branded "don't use." Once, I downloaded 1.0 for nostalgia's sake, but it doesn't work the best when your main file systems are ReiserFS.

  6. Re:Not quite an autopsy on iPod Mini Autopsy · · Score: 1

    I believe the word you're looking for is "vivisection."

    That "dontuse" is like a big red button. Just begging to be pushed.

    I think if you have a problem with 2.4.11, it's your own fault.

  9. Re:Why not send it to a fund to help RIAA victims. on One Man's Check From The RIAA · · Score: 1

    Two double cheeseburgers, supersize fries, and a 42 ounce soda costs exactly $5.00 here (Southern Illinois).

  10. Re:MSN Bork bork! on Opera Releases Version 7 For Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I downloaded that the first day it was available, and after I installed it, I discovered something interesting: it didn't require registration. Apparently, custom versions like that are preregistered.

  11. Re:So.. on Brad Templeton On Spam's Silver Anniversary · · Score: 1

    They explain it pretty well here.

    You can find more information on X.500 Here, here, and here.

  13. Re:But can they... on WSJ Reviews High End Universal Remotes · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if these would, but the higher model probably would be able to, as you're able to view networked cams, etc on them. Of course, I've been drooling over the damn things for a few months now, and the $1699 price tag means a lot of drool....especially since no one seems to want to buy drool.

    Thanks, just ordered mine :)

    It's an old offer, posted on Techdeals on April 5th.

  16. Re:a 16x16 canvas on Susan Kare: Mother of Icons You Love (or Hate) · · Score: 2, Informative

    With that 16x16 canvas, this woman managed to make images that have become part of everyday household life for many people. Her work has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people at least, and I believe some of her work is still showcased in the moricons.dll file. Just because a canvas is small, doesn't mean it's unimportant.

    At least not YET.

  18. Re:self-darkening contacts won't work on Wired's Wish List For 2013 · · Score: 1

    Remember, this is supposed to be 2013. Technology might be quite a bit different then. But, assuming that it does pick up light levels, wouldn't the color change when you close your eyes? That would cut the amount of light that the lenses recieve, causing them to turn clear again, causing a few painful seconds while the lenses adjusted again after you open your eyes, and a few more seconds when your eyes which just adjusted to the large amount of light adjust to a lesser amount, and by then you have to blink again. Damn it all.

  19. Re:Tracked using MAC address on Spammers Using Students as Relays · · Score: 1

    At SIUC, they've been recording MAC addresses for at least a year now. Not only do they record them, though, they restrict Internet access to ONLY those specific MAC addresses. This practice could cause more harm than good, though, since a MAC address can be easily misrecorded, and certain models of routers (which are needed since each dorm room only has one ethernet jack) become useless.

  20. Re:Flashbacks on Spammers Using Students as Relays · · Score: 1

    I almost started doing that. Then, the manager tried to convince me that it was okay to drive on a suspended license, with no restricted permit. I still have nightmares about the "Double-D" edge.
