  1. It's a ghost trap! on Retrofitting an iPod into a Geiger Counter · · Score: 1

    looks like a ghost trap to me. btw: refering to ghostbusters in case you haven't seen the movie

  2. very interesting but... on Graffiti Bridges Worlds for Cell User · · Score: 1

    I think it would be cool to use something similar to this as a virtual tour-guide.

  3. Re:You're violating my rights! on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 1

    Where's the sport in it? You've got to be kidding me....do you know how hard it is to shoot at a moving object? how about a moving object while you're moving? Just think about it?

  4. this means... on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

    that my vote for her for the election of 2008 is out the window. She might as well register as a Republican.

    "...but I imagine people don't like to have their number of possible network connections restrained by the host operating system."
    but xp home already does this iirc

    Color Touchscreen Editable Remote
    I could have swore I read that as EDIBLE Remote.
  8. quit calling it LTSP Project on Will Novell Adopt The LTSP Project? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Such a glaring mistake!!! LTSP stands for Linux Terminal Server Project, and you're adding a second project at the end "Linux Terminal Server Project Project". How annoying, just like NIC Card, or PIN Number.

  9. Awsome.... on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ...Just think of how much pr0n you could download with a pipe like that :-D

  10. Some of my Hotmail spam..... on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    Has started to end the subject line as ADV:ADLT, which in my book makes me think it means "Advertisement:Adault". I thought maybe it has to do with new anti-spam laws, or does hotmail do that with their own filters? It's still pretty cool noticing this. If the spammers let you know what kind of spam they're sending to you, and keep a general rule, you can decide which types of spam you do or do not want to recieve....although i'm sure not many of us would want to recieve any, but hey...it's an interesting idea to me.

  11. MIME on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 4, Informative

    I Can't See half of the full sized pics in Mozilla due to wrong MIME types. When will these web developers ever learn?

  12. Damn.... on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 2, Funny

    ....This article makes me want to watch TV

  13. $1.5 billion..... on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 5, Interesting
    The new lawsuit, which contends that Microsoft overcharged Minnesota customers from 1994 to 2001, seeks almost $500 million from the company. If the company, based in Redmond, Wash., loses, it could also be forced to pay triple that amount under Minnesota state law.
    Looks like if Microsoft looses this case a fine of $1.5B would be imposed....THIS is the case Microsoft should be worried about, not the one from EU. Or do they think they can get away with this lawsuit?
  14. Cisco.... on WiFi Phone Announced · · Score: 5, Informative

    Cisco has already developed an 802.11 wireless phone for their VoIP networks for businesses. They've developed fully VoIP phones that only need a certain server and a cat5 connection to the internet to function. They can also use TTS(Text to speech) and ASR(automatic speech recognition) commands for the blind people, and the phones read XML for menus. I think cisco's are cooler.

  15. Re:Huh? on Two Spam Filters 10 Times As Accurate As Humans · · Score: 0

    besides, are you absolutely sure that an e-mail message is spam by what its subject line and sender is? If you filter the e-mail solely based on that, spam filters can truely be more accurate than a human, depending on your situation

  16. AI on Two Spam Filters 10 Times As Accurate As Humans · · Score: 0

    Accuracy of the SBPH/BCR classifier has been seen in excess of 99 per cent, for 1/4 megabyte of learning text. In other words, CRM114 learns, and it learns fast .

    Great, someone finally came up with a spam filter that learns.

  17. Re:I agree mostly.. on Stallman On Free Software and GNU's 20th birthday · · Score: 0

    You can also charge for the non-source code included with these programs(for example, the textures, maps and models for a game), which can allow a company such as ID software to STILL make money off of say Doom 3, but still keep the value of open source(as long as you make it clear that the media is copyrighted and such as normal, just that the source is open)

  18. Re:No progress for ANYBODY!!!! on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 0

    Your argument is inaccurate...The point of the EFI is to allow the operating system to load drivers into the firmware when it installs, so that the bios can load up the drivers much quicker instead of reading from the harddrive, thus a much quicker boot up time. Most of your boot up time for windows is usually loading drivers.

  19. promote the Progress of Science and the useful... on McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights · · Score: 0
    In Eldred , the U.S. Supreme Court addressed for the first time in recent history the Constitutional meaning of the term "promote the Progress of Science and the useful arts..." Seven Supreme Court justices defined the term one way - and SCO agrees with this definition. Two dissenting justices defined the term differently.

    Let's consider the dissenting view. Justice Breyer articulated a dissenting view that the Constitutional objective of "promot [ing] the Progress of Science" is oriented to benefit the general public good, rather than create a private reward for authors. Justice Breyer posited:

    The Clause does not exist "to provide a special private benefit," ... but to "stimulate artistic creativity for the general public good.... The "reward" is a means, not an end.
    This quote proves that SCO does not care about its customers, just the money. And he says it openly, almost like "Hey SCO customers, we don't give a shit about you or the quality of the software we sell you, we just want your money any way we can get it."
  20. Re:Great for schools on MandrakeMove Bootable Linux CD Announced · · Score: 0

    Actually a really good choice for schools is LTSP. My senior project currently is on creating an LTSP lab...and one very good thing about it(besides the standard securities of linux and redhat) is that you can have one central server( in our case a 2.6 p4 w/hyper threading, and 1.5 gigs of ram)and run many crappy computers(more than 20, with good results) that don't even need to be fast....this idea can save the school districts TONS of money and possibly time also.

    #1.5 thing to do when the internet goes down is to call up Darl McBride and tell him that you will sue him because you have IP rights to use the internet even when it is down.
