  1. A little unclear on specifics on Designing an OS for Blind/Deaf Users? · · Score: 4, Funny

    about the OS, but for deaf/blind people, the hw platform should be a pinball machine.

  2. Re:I told them to keep the janitor out on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 1

    I was told the 1700 failed so they upgraded.

  3. I told them to keep the janitor out on Internet to Pakistan Goes Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    of the closet with the Cisco 2502!

  4. Re:Corrupted download on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh yeah, that's right, I forget. I signed up for the UDP-only connection. Sheesh.

  5. Corrupted download on Google Earth Launching For Free · · Score: 2, Funny

    I get a CRC error when I try to unpack the .exe

    Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know. IT'S BEEEEEETAAAAA.

    Google should change their logo to put that little Beta under the 'le'.

  6. Two words: on P2P and TV · · Score: 4, Insightful

  7. I'll wait for home IMAX, thanks on 13.1 Surround Sound Coming to a Home near you? · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I'm going to go for overkill, I'm going all the way.

  8. Wired is Tired on Ars's Skeptical Take on Wired's NextFest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hadn't read Wired for many years. I recently "inherited" a subscription from a departed co-worker. The magazine has become a total entertainment rag. I spend less time on an issue of Wired than I do on an issue of Information Week (and it comes out 4 times as often!).

    Buy Wired? Nuh-uh.

  9. Re:And then? on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    Free including international? Doubtful.

  10. Only free to Skype users on Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls · · Score: 2, Informative

    While it's a step in the right direction, if you want to call somebody on a landline, you still have to pay for the SkypeOut, yes?

    It seems like a lot of trouble for little savings. I guess my perspective would be different if I was a very mobile person who needed to make frequent out-of-country calls (more common in Europe, yes, I know).

  11. Re:Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 1

    I saw the sig you reference from Broke Mirror for the first time on a posting about Google Video. Which gave me some pause. I then looked at the posting history. When I saw that some posts with the sig predated networkmirror, I assumed (incorrectly) that Broke Mirror had changed the sig at a later point in time.

    It's clear there'll be no convincing you otherwise, and to be honest, I don't even know why I'm bothering (other than its a slow afternoon at the office). This is the last posting I'll make on this subject.

  13. Re:Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Because I believes I did.

    Or to be more correct, I believe I arrived at it independently.

    Who invented the integrated circuit? Shockley or Kilby?

    Is it that difficult for you to grasp that two people could independently arrive at the same twist of "In case of fire, break glass?"

    Those who can, do. Those who can't whine and complain on Slashdot about those who can.

  14. a linux box set up as a hw firewall on What is the Best Firewall for Servers? · · Score: 1

    maybe more than $100, maybe not. Depends on whether or not you have a free machine. Doesn't have to be fast or have a lot of memory.

  15. Re:Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 1

    The site was beta tested from another domain prior to securing networkmirror.com.

    But do feel free to keep looking for consiracies where none exist.

  16. Re:Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Dude. Get your facts straight. When you change your sig. I changes all of your posts, past and present.

    As the FAQ on the site says, the ads don't even cover the cost of hosting.

  18. Re:Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 1

    We only mirror the actual content pages, not stuff linked off them. So, if you want to see the full-size pics, you'll have to wait for the slashdotting to subside. Sorry.

  19. Slick + full mirror on Weather Radar Case Mod · · Score: 4, Informative

    Cool!

    All I can say is some people have a lot more free time on their hands than I do.

    Full mirror here.

  20. Which means txt & pdf on Norwegian Minister: No More Proprietary Formats · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wow. The Minister of Modernization is taking Norway back to the 20th century.

  22. Another advertisement on New Keyboard Technology · · Score: 1

    The system, which sells for $149.95 on the Ergodex site, started shipping in March. It will soon be available through resellers such as online retail gear seller ThinkGeek and game PC maker Falcon Northwest.

    WHat a coincidence, you'll be able to buy it at ThinkGeek.

  23. I doubt it on Windows XP N a Bust · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why would the (lack of) avilability of a media player influence my OS decision?

  24. Re:Contradiction on From Alien to The Matrix · · Score: 2, Funny

    The author only mentions his mother in the review.

  25. Re:Short synopsis for the lazy on MIT Physicists Create New Form of Matter · · Score: 1

    The MIT team was able to view these superfluid vortices at extremely cold temperatures, when the fermionic gas was cooled to about 50 billionths of a degree Kelvin, very close to absolute zero (-273 degrees C or -459 degrees F)
