  1. Re:Another Application on Scientists Crack Silk's Secret · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope, sorry. If we used steel for a space elevator the cable would have to be as wide as the milky way. If we used something like kevlar or silk the cable would have to be as wide as the earth (better than steel but still not fesible). If we used carbon nanotubes the cable will only have to be 6 inches wide at the top.

  2. Re:wasting time? on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov · · Score: 1

    Are you in favor of prohibition too? Why outlaw marijuana and not alcohol? I can drive perfectly fine while high but wouldnt even think of getting near a car drunk.

  3. Re:MS Failures... on Microsoft's Forgotten Mistakes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes this IS a troll. UI design isnt about putting important stuff in order, it's about making important stuff easily accessible and putting unimportant stuff out of the way. Why put the minimze button on the left next to the menus when it will just lead to accedental minimizing. Also people dont think of it as looking at the end of the title bar, its just the top right. It takes just as much effort to click on something thats at the top left as it does to click something on the top right. Do you move your mouse to the top left and along the title bar and finally to the right to click minimize?

  4. Re:".config"uring 2.5.75 on Last 2.5.x Linux Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    Most distributions keep a copy of the .config file youre currently using. You can probably copy that over to your 2.5 source folder and compile away.

    There is an ESRB rating system in place for several years to keep those kinds of games out o the hands of minors.

  7. Re:No mention of hlguard on Cheating in Multiplayer Games · · Score: 2

    One great feature of HL Guard is that it wont let any of the clients know where everyone on the map is at any one time. It will only send packets informing them of ememies when the enemy is right around the corner, so youre wallhack is useless. This simple protection saves you bandwidth and stops all wallhacks in their tracks, Ive yet to see one get past this method.
    Aimbots are a different issue, there isnt much you can do to stop external code from moving the mouse once the enemy is on screen.

    Could it be possible to hack this thing onto a segway? It might actually be useful then.

  16. Dumpsters on Great Surplus Stores? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dig in the trash behind the computer science and engineering buildings of a local university. You will find a lot of good stuff that can still be useful. I was able to pick up a large hunk of copper and some ibm model m keyboards just last week.
