    Fire converts matter to energy pretty well.

    This is exactly what Netgear has done with some of its newer products. The WNDR3700 and family comes with an older version of OpenWRT with the Netgear interface. Buffalo is now rebranding DD-WRT for use in some of its routers.

    Well it does encourage maximum hardness.

    With comments like that, I'm at least sure *you* won't.

    I think they threw it together in about 6 months. Even so, it took a *lot* of drugs.

    You could get captured, though, by Gunther fairly early on, and there was no way out of that.

  11. Public on Household Technology Rules for Kids? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Simple: Put the computer in a public room. No computers in the bedroom. Same with television. Have only one, MAYBE two.

    This eliminates 90% of the problems you're likely to face.

  12. Re:If Einstein had had those supercomputers ... on NASA Achieves Breakthrough Black Hole Simulation · · Score: 1

    Yes, but even with a 10,000 node cluster, it still barely runs mspaint in realtime.

    That's silly. Everyone knows Warcraft won't run on an Itanium.

  14. Re:How far can they push this? on The Road to 100 Gigabit Ethernet · · Score: 2, Informative

    They gave up on UTP cabling for the 10gbe standard. 100gbe will be fibre.

    I imagine if they just didn't run this grid there'd be more than enough energy to go around.

  16. Re:Er... why? on FreeBSD Ported to XBox · · Score: 1

    Sure, except most of those require ethernet, as do most uses for a server operating system. And there's nothing that can be done now that couldn't have been done before with Linux or a whole host of other apps.

    Yes, I'm sure the entire country of Pakistan uses a Cisco 2500 series.

  19. Re:Windows ME was far worse on Microsoft's Most Successful Failure · · Score: 1

    That's right. ME made 98SE look like Linux. It was slower, less stable, and hogged many more resources. Nobody talks about ME anymore, dispite the fact that for a couple years it was installed standard on most stock machines.

    Microsoft just wanted some money between 98SE and their later integration of NT into the home environment (XP). It added nothing major, but took away the souls of many poor, innocent machines.

  20. Re:Hell no, unless your a chick on Are CRTs History? · · Score: 1

    A 19" monitor can easily weigh 50lbs. Many people, especially older or disabled, can't lift that for any period of time.

    I personally broke my hip in an accident last year, and my 19" CRT was not going anywhere. My 17" LCD, on the other hand, is better quality and weighs 8lbs.

    Grow some testicles? Try being physically disabled before you critisize others.

    With most people, that's also the last thing you'd install.

  23. Re:No chance on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    AMD has stayed away from DDR2 for a number of reasons. It's badly designed, and places latency way behind raw bandwidth.

    I recently read an article on HardOCP that said AMD might skip DDR2 altogether and go for another standard - call it DDR3, of which protoypes are already in production. This could take place in a year or so. Right now DDR1 works just fine for AMD, so by skipping this step and going right for the next gen, it's saving us customers a load of upgrade pains.

  25. Re:I used NT 4.0 for a long time because on Creaky Operating Systems Form IT Foundations · · Score: 1

    NT4 hardware support once 2k was released dropped off dramatically. I have a laptop I'd love to run NT4 on, but it doesn't have any kind of wireless support.

    It might be full of security holes, but it would run on anything.

    RIP, NT 4.0.
