  1. Re:The other side of history! on Patriot Act Used to Enforce Copyright Law? · · Score: 1

    Nice digging there, that needs to be +5 informative.

  2. Re:Mouse Pee on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    I have a flatmate with a bunny that has a taste for cables, as a result every cable within reach has a combination of some kind of cable protector over it and/or a few repairs made to it.

  3. Completes the Set on Invulnerable, Waterproof PDA · · Score: 1

    Finally a PDA that I can store in the bath with my

    * Nokia 6250 Phone
    * Pentax Optio 33WR Camera

    Pity I just got a new Ipaq 5550 anyway. ;/

  4. Re:I've asked that question online. on Star Trek's Design Influence On Palm, New Tech · · Score: 1

    Just think of it as how they squeeze a multi-day plot line into 42 minutes. They cut out the boring parts. :)

    Theres been more than a few episodes where they forgot to do that however.. ;-/

  5. Consumer Triple CCD Devices? on How Spirit Takes Pictures · · Score: 1

    Ok I know there are digital video cameras such as the Panasonic PV-DV953 that use triple CCDs with colour filters. What I'd like to know are there any decent consumer still digital cameras that use a triple CCD for optimal image quality?

  6. Re:I told them... on Air Bag Blocks Spirit's Path · · Score: 1

    Hmm you need to grow plants to produce the O2 to power the flamethrower to burn your way through the plants. Thats slightly circular.
    (ignoring the airbag of course and just thinking of the usual usage of a flamethrower)

  7. Re:I agree with you on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you want to play Real Player movies under windows without the crap, just install it, then associated the files with Media Player Classic a neat little player that looks just like ole Media Player 6.x. (It also handles quicktime movies in a similiar fashion)

  8. Re:I don't get it. on World Cyber Games 2003 Results · · Score: 1

    One factor that will be limiting the growth of computer gaming as a olympic class sport is the continuous changes in the field. A game that will be really big one year with all the top players in it will becomes yesterday's game in just a few months, just about when the maintstream starts to learn about it and possibly become interested.

  9. Re:Queen's University Solar Vehicle Team on 7th World Solar Challenge Underway · · Score: 1

    That car looks like they took the middle chunk of a B2 bomber and put wheels and solar cells on it.

    .. and wind farms can even help tourism for that area...

  11. Re:IEEE on IBM Introduces Petabyte-Capacity 'Storage Tank' · · Score: 1

    Hmm I borrowed something from 823.912 W454 today, maybe I should of wandered over a couple of aisles and checked if there was network connectivity in 802.x

  12. Re:try this one on Where Is Spam When You Want It? · · Score: 1

    I bet spammers don't send to an address with 'spam' or 'SPAM' anywhere in it...

  13. Re:HAHA or visiting HIS WIFE! on Phone or Tracking Device? · · Score: 1

    What I would like to see is the ability to TURN THIS OFF,

    You can, its called turning your mobile off, or just leave it at home.

  14. Re:Sydney Wireless on Regulatory Fees on the 802.11 Broadcast Spectrum? · · Score: 1

    I heard that some authorities have taken notice and are getting ready to kill the operation... :(

    I would like to know where you heard this, because as mcdrewski42 has pointed out the network is perfectly legal.

    Can't you just do this before you go to bed?:

  16. Re:they've been lying to us on Investigating Angular Velocity · · Score: 1

    Hmm how about a small spinning/moving lens+prism with a fixed laser and disc. Much less moving parts, you just need to make that focusing device ultra tough and fast and everything else can sit there without experiencing much stress...

  17. Re:DON'T USE FIBER! on Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon? · · Score: 1

    We (Shafted LAN) have been using a gigabit fibre backbone for the past couple of years for multi-day events with little to no problems with our fibre runs. Just make sure they are well protected where they have to run in areas where people walks, cable protectors and chunks are carpet are great for that. The same applies to ALL cables, not just fibre if only to prevent people tripping up while carrying a 21" monitor and sueing you.

  18. Re:Really good idea on Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Only use DHCP for an event thats more than 50 players or so if you have %100 managed switches and can locate rogue DHCP servers in a matter of seconds (trust me, there always are people running internet connection sharing or the like handing out IP's of their own accord). A decent network topology is always a good idea, if you don't know why you shouldn't be daisy chaining switches or hubs you really should find someone who knows some basic networking to give you a hand.

  19. Insurance on Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Very important but often overlooked if you are running an event larger than a few friends in someone's basement, is to get public liability insurance. Many venues won't even let you hire them out without having it. You may never need it, but its a damn good idea.

  20. Re:And in other news... on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    Children's bodies can be as much as 75%.

    Given the number of stops we make on long car trips with my daughter, I'd put that number closer to 99%.


    So therefore you should just be buying an industrial strength wringing machine rather than a larger family car?

    *hides*

  21. Re:And so we mourn on Three Gorges Dam Begins Storing Water · · Score: 1

    To prevent flooding rivers from killing people, is our only recourse to "kill" the river? Couldn't we build flood-proof housing?

    What? Like this?

    Just needed to google it. A city of 30 million people, pretty big..

    I remember being on the deck of the HMAS Melbourne which is of the same class as this one ages ago, I didn't think its 700' flight deck was a 'tiny place' but then I guess its all relative....
