  1. Corvis on 10 Terabit Ethernet By 2010 · · Score: 1

    Does anybody know how fast a Corvis network is? Also the author leaves out Hypertransport, Serial ATA, and several other in the box transport modes. Are we going to call everything ethernet? I don't think so, I also don't see any proof of his statment, you have to call it ethernet, he may be write that you have to explain the equivalent ethernet speeds, but that just helps there be an apples to apples comparison (well you also have to compare latency and the like). DWDM seems to be a well know concept in the network/telco worlds.

  2. Re:Anyone know? on Divx Now Adware Supported Only · · Score: 1

    Now that is a good idea, why not have points that allow people to remove or add stories to the front page. The threshold could be quite high and the editor could by UserModerated or something like that. If you had mod points you could choose to review all of the articles that have been submitted if you so wish.

  3. Re:Perhaps a better question to ask Georgy... on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    The difference is in the long run. Without raise taxes you get a faster economic rebound and then he can begin to increase funding of important programs, to be fair waste full programs should be cut before higher education, but raising taxes does not work, it really is a non-option.

    Dude you leave the sides on now and just have a window in them. Where have you been?

  5. Re:Handspring's OS is Palm OS on Palm Reveals New Name · · Score: 1

    No. Handspring merged with Palm. And now they are called pa1mOne. Look for HAND on the NASDAQ.

  6. Re:Marijuana on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the harm it can cause at a fast food or other dinning establishment. It took me a good ten minutes to order bagels from the obviously baked worker. HE SPEND A GOOD 1 MINUTE JUST LOOKING AT MY CHANGE, not the bills just the coins. It was like Abe or George was talking to him. It was right then and there that I decide weed must stay illegal until people can be fired for being baked on the job.

  7. Anti-Social on Too Much Tech Diminishes Work Relationships? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are just being anti-social to Tim Sanders, a Yahoo exec.

  8. Re:No soul to indie games on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    The reason is that most indie game developers start with these types of game as a learning exercise and find that they enjoy making them so much that they don't move on. If cell phone games take off they will have a large market to sell to...

  9. Re:Zenfar and the Indie world on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    I like to think in terms of Place Holder *= 2 artwork, stuff that gets the meaning across and makes the game playable but that isn't perfect or as consistant as it should be.

  10. Zenfar and the Indie world on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    I don't get into the whole Indie vs. Big Time game development thing. I run my company on a very small budget and does effect some of the things I can do, but I also do not have any external force telling me what to put into my games (Zenfar and Zenfar ][). No marketing guy or publisher saying 'that won't sell' or 'we need more X'. But the same could be said for a well established developer such as id, they can do what they want and can publish a game when it is done. So it not so much a matter of budget as freedom to develop.

  11. Re:In the RIAA's eyes.. on Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. I guy steps up and takes a reasonable position and you blast the guy, why not blast the people who are doing nothing or who are are like Fritz Hollings doing more harm than good. You are out of your mind.

    Could be why they are working on a Playstation 3...

  13. Accounting Fraud on MCI Accused of Long-Distance Call Accounting Fraud · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nothing says "News for Nerds" like "accussed of accounting fraud", this just seems like news for some other site to me...

  14. Pentium 266? on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 1

    Huh? Ever heard of Transmeta? 1 GHz Crusoe...

  15. Re:it doesn't matter on House Overturns FCC Media Consolidation Plan · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "the bastard". Osama is the bastard not Bush or Clinton.

  16. Do all Linux users think like this... on Saving the Net · · Score: 1

    Should I sell my RHAT shares?
    Should I install T2 Extreme DRM tonight?
    Should I pay for music at BuyMusic instead of P2P?
    What are you going to do when Hollywood and Dean join forces?

  17. Re:Dean for President on Saving the Net · · Score: 1

    I hope he wins the nomination too. I hope he really tells Bush off about getting involved in Iraq during the debates. I guess the makes me a Republican.

  18. Re:I wouldn't worry on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 1

    It would be very interesting if he wins the nomination, because Bush also has very low dollar average amounts per donor. Does this mean the large donor has been marginalized? Does the Internet donor count more since they can donate early, often, and without much effort on the part of the politician? From Dean: "As to Digitial Millenium Copyright Act and other copyright issues, we're still developing a policy on these items. I appreciate everything you have had to say on these issues, and encourage you to continue to tell my campaign how you feel we should best address these complex issues." Now here is my question to you, if he sides with Hollywood on the DMCA and copyright will you feel betrayed?

  19. Re:I wouldn't worry on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aren't Senator Hollings and Howard Dean in the same political party? Is Dean cozy with Hollywood which is also cozy with the Democratic party? I am curious, I always find the factions within political parties more interesting then the "two" party struggle itself, the factions in the Democratic party are perhaps the most interesting...

  20. Re:Ye Gods! on Statistical Analysis of Copyright Registrations · · Score: 1

    Could be the next President of the USA, he is the choice of Internet liberals (iLibs, which represent about 3-5% of the population, same amount as Mac users).

  21. Re:Ye Gods! on Statistical Analysis of Copyright Registrations · · Score: 2

    Luckily I don't read the articles, how is this acceptable to the average slashdotian. I mean a site filled with spyware and the gator is allowed on the front page? What would Howard Dean think?

    I was looking for a better way to make sure I didn't read any NYT Times articles, so this will help alot, guess it is time form more OpinionJournal .
