  1. Re:Darn - there goes the /. effect on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Which is why you BitTorrent... assuming the /. effect doesn't knock out the web server hosting the .torrent file or the tracker for that file (which it shouldn't... a torrent file is relatively small). BitTorrent actually then goes in a reverse /. effect.

  2. DOS Boot of an antivirus on What Would You Put Into A Software Survival Kit? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Find a version of antivirus that lets you create a DOS bootable floppy set, and take that with whatever is the latest def files. You wouldn't believe how many machines I've stumbled across without antivirus (or with a 4 yr old deffile, which is less than useless) that contain some not-so-new viruses on them. This is assuming you might stumble across some Windows machines.

    Now keeping them safe after you leave while still being legal is another story.

  3. Re:I wonder what will happen on Anger as a Software Design Philosophy · · Score: 1

    Such as, for example, Jay's beginning song in "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back" in front of the Kwik-Mart.

    Or, to a lesser extent, maybe Jay's posting on MoviePoopShoot.com

    No, it will redirect to www.everything2.com/. After all, that site truly does have everything (and if you find something that's missing from Everything, you make that thing and Everything is that much closer to being everything.

  10. Here's a Steve that disagrees on Evolution Endorsed by Steves · · Score: 1

    My name is Steve (OK, it's actually Stephen).

    I disagree, I don't endorse evolution... but I guess my opinion doesn't count, as I don't have a PhD (or any other doctorate).

    And since this is an article about Steve's, why does it list someone called Eugenie "Steve" C. Scott?

    Are there 220 non PhD Steve's (or Stephen, Esteban, or Stephanie, as the site states) that want to join me in a non-endorsement of Evolution (and I don't mean the Ximian product!)

    You mean like Mr. Tambo, right?

    I swear, I must've received at least 4 in the last week that all claimed to be Mr. Tambo. Usually, there's a slight variation, but this time, they were all exactly the same.

    Just download it using BitTorrent. It seems to be a faster and more efficient way of downloading new releases than most solutions out there.

    Now for older files, that's a different story.

    you can not send enough power to electrocute someone over a low guage phone pair

    Maybe not enough power to electrocute someone, but there is enough power on a phone line to cause a tingle (especially if you touch the bare copper while a ring is sent through). Thing is, dry pairs aren't the only ones that can do that... all lines can do that.

  19. Re:No on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    I'm just comparing Apple's fastest clock speed number with Intel's fastest clock speed number. Looking at what those values for the past three years until right now, then extrapolating it out about five years is how I got that figure.

    Now, I know that the Apple experts out there say that an Apple 1000 MHz blows a P4 2.8 computer out of the water. I'm not arguing performance, I'm just taking the raw numbers and following the pattern they have been comparatively in the past, and guessing at what they will be in the future.

  20. (OT) Enterprise... make that e lower case on Weblogs in the Enterprise? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you make the E for Enterprise upper case, you'll get people asking why Patrick Stewart (Picard) and Jonathan Frakes (Riker) aren't making weblogs in the Enterprise.

    Then again, the only one who I know of who does one on a semi-regular basis is wilwheaton.net (Wesley). (Yes, CleverNickName, I know you're reading this).

    If anyone else would be doing one, I'd think maybe Levar Burton (LaForge) would, but I don't know their off-screen personalities very well. Levar just seems like the kind of person who would do a weblog, if he had the time. Maybe Robert Picardo (Voyager HoloDoc), as well.

  22. Re:No on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm talking PC, not Mac (speeds are totally different for projections of the two...)

    If I was to take a Mac and try to project what it's specs are, I'd say just go get a current PC circular and find what the processor specs are, and that's a Mac's specs in 5 years, just use all the other things I listed and substitute in the different processor speed.

    I hope that you're talking about a 1.5GB hard drive... if you're talking about having 1.5 Gig RAM, you're severely over specced for the moment unless you're running graphic apps like Photoshop or Digital Video like Bryce or Maya.

    Of course, I'm a PC person (and at that, Windows). I know next to nothing about what proper Mac specs are, or how heavy they should run. (I've been meaning to install Linux, it's just that I'm so busy with work and watching anime that I haven't gotten to learning it.)

  23. Re:No on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    I said the average machine. To find out what the average new machine is that people have, just go get a couple circulars and find out what Wally World is pushing and what each of the manufacturers is pushing for their low end machine (that's what the average joe getting a new PC buys, anyways... the lowest cost machine that's specced for 3 years, and tries to run it 6).

    Right now, the average machine is running about 128-256MB RAM (about half of the P4 machines are specced with PC100 or PC133 SDRAM, and half with PC2100 RAM (which is actually 233 MHz, if memory serves). I personally run my desktop machines with PC2100 512MB RAM, and find it works fine.

    And yes, I should've made my estimate for the future something more like 2GB RAM.
