  1. Re:shortly following.... on Blu Ray Drive Will Cost $100 Per PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    mini disc, atrac

  2. im no ubernerd on How to Keep Your Computer Cool · · Score: 1

    and have never built my own box, just had a bunch of apples over the years, my question is: how often do components really fail due to overheating? Ive had a linksys wrt54g in my attic for 6months and havent even had to restart it. it's like 120 up there on a sunny day.....I do need to vent my attic better, but it seems these computers, under normal circumstances just keep running....

  3. netMD on New Walkman-Branded Hard Disk Player · · Score: 1

    if the software needed to use this thing is anything like sony's mini disc players they have rendered a great looking product virtually un useable.

  4. Apple Lawsuit on OQO Examined · · Score: 1

    How long until Apple sues over the power button?

  5. Re:Sprint PCS on Where's Your 'D-Spot?' · · Score: 1

    I live in Oregon Hill(in richmond va) and have had great service with verizon and my motoralo 120e. My 120c worked great before that while I lived on grove down by VCU..... I cant remember the last time i dropped a call.....

  6. Re:Transportation on Technological Flights Of Fancy That Fizzled · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about tubes? Arent we all supposed to be shot around in tubes by now?

  7. Re:I love them. on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    replace all instances of lithium ion with NIMH

  8. I love them. on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    I have been using rechargeables for about 7 years now. I bought the Ray-o-Vac alkalines with the big 8 slot charger while I was a photographer. I used them for my flash and autowinder in the old 35mm slr. I still have a few of the original(purchased 7 years ago) ray-o-vac alkaline rechargeable batteries and use them for my wireless mouse and short wave radio. I couldnt count how many times i have recharged some of them. Granted, the old ones dont last that long but still work. I have recently purchased a 4 slot charger by ray-o-vac for lithium ion and have had great results with radio shack and ray-ovac batteries. I bought a set of AAA die hards and am not pleased with them. THey can only run my handspring and magellan gps for a few hours and completely discharge within a week when not in use, which sucks as I lose my data if I dont sync. Duracells lasted in the handspring for over a month

  9. Re:Pudge - Pull this? on eMac Video Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I have a g3 allinone, the beige jobby. I used to run 2 monitors while I was borrowing a nice 128mb video card from school..and the built in monitor runs off another pci video card... so you can upgrade some allinone macs. just not imacs/emac... maybe try dreamware's firewire to agp converter. (i made that one up, it's not a real product)

  10. Stream on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server? · · Score: 1

    My Itunes stream can support 5 users without a glitch on a cable connect. so on a lan, one old imac, (i run a g3 266) could handle serving the streams.. then the problem is you would need 5 more macs to decode them in each of your rooms.... wait. why would you want 5 different songs playing in 5 different rooms at the same time? Have you harnessed personal quantum superpositioning? ok sorry. so 6 macs on a lan is too much $. are there any set top boxes that can decode the daap protocol? that also have an interface you could choose songs or playlists with? could you use ipods as an interface? run firewire through the walls rather than speaker wires or ethernet and run the ipod into a stereo in each room. so now you need 1 mac, 5 ipods, a bunch of firewire, firewire pci cards and five stereos. i have digressed.

  11. innoculation on Fizzer Worm Uninstalling Itself · · Score: 1, Insightful

    so.. if I were to put a script on my machine in say the /c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir that would innoculate against code red would this be legal? Assuming I knew how to do this..... I still get 30 of these requests a day in my log....

  12. DIY on Lanlink Linking The Coasts · · Score: 0

    for once it would make all this diy crap on tv make some sense to me...

  13. Amar Bose's son on Linux Powers First Handheld Software Radio · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    runs Vanu Technology

  14. Environmental Costs on Environmental Costs of Computer Use? · · Score: 1

    Your question begs a discussion of bigger issues than one campus and a few hundred laptops The first thought I had was electricity, how much more juice is being used since the personal computer boom? What about laptop batteries going into landfills? PDA's use a lot of aaa's, cellphones etc etc... Maybe global warming is caused by excess heat from cpus(yes I know this is silly but It will perhaps be an issue in the future) I manage a small lab at an art school and am totally baffled at what and how much students print when a free laser(not really free, they pay lab fees) is available Im tired, thats all i have right now.

  15. qt streaming on Mac P2P Music Sharing with iTunes is Online · · Score: 1

    1. I used to stream a playlist(to myself at work) using qtstreaming server, (free from apple for osx users), not much different than what itunes does now except I can choose which song instead of listening to a looped stream, so what Im saying is this is not really a new thing for apple users 2. you can stream itunes over ip, not just rendevous/lan if you open port 3689 with the built in firewall software. 3. I think the effect, once the novelty of the database sites dissapears will be that people will have a place to look for and listen to music they might never hear, and then might buy from apple's store. 4. This could be a great way for indie bands or labels to get the word out. 5. apple needs to fix some things, people are writing scripts that allow you to download and keep files from sharing servers....
