  1. Submission Title on Where to Spend $1M on a Cluster? · · Score: 2

    Does anyone else see the VERY obvious discrepancy between the submission title and the submission? Where are the editors? Last time I checked, 0.7 mil != 1 mil.

  2. Glide Underground on Game Cameras Prone to Problems? · · Score: 1

    Wow, I can remember when I used to be a newsie for GU... ...back in 1999 This is the first mention of them I've heard since I left. Sad

  3. Express PCB on From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps · · Score: 5, Informative

    Or, if you're so inclined to design your own printed circuit board (PCB), Express PCB offers a reasonably priced service.

  4. Re:Downtime... on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 1
    Downtime - You forgot to add, "Do not attempt sexual relations, as years of computer monitor radiation have left your genitals withered and useless."
    Brings a whole new meaning to the term downtime.
  5. Re:has he ever written a program? on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 1

    The saying is "Cheap, fast, and reliable. You can only have two." How true it is.

  6. Re:It must be hard for Windows users to imagine... on VAX Users See the Writing on the Wall · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just used it on Windows XP Professional without trouble. YMMV

  7. Re:From the specs... on Broadband Blimps · · Score: 1

    I guess they really care about redundancy. I would too if I wanted to make sure it could stay in the air for 18 months.

  8. Re:Home cluster on Xgrid Agent for Unix · · Score: 1

    Did you really just say that wireless, a home network option of *at best* half the throughput of 100 base-T, is a better option than 100base for transferring data across a cluster?

  9. Re:Another Rip Off on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Can't we come up with something better or is the open source movement just going to settle on becoming a Microsoft ripoff scene?
    If by 'we' you mean 'you develop it and I'll enjoy your labor for free', then the answer is 'maybe we'll come up with something that suits your tastes better'. If by 'we' you mean 'let's all work on developing this, including me', then certainly, you are free to come up with whatever better thing you like. Satisfied?
  10. Re:Good ... on A Public Library's Linux Success Story · · Score: 1

    Easy enough, go with a filtering router or proxy. I recently purchased a router from 8e6 which does this well. Unfortunately my particular router seems to lock up every other time I open AIM requiring a hard reboot, but I'm working with the manufacturer on this and it only seems to affect my particular unit. Linux, Mac, Windows, etc. all have no affect on this as it is entirely OS independent.

  11. Re:Why not on Microsoft Assembles Patent Arsenal for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    I suspect there is a great deal of "prior art" over that already. ;-)

  12. Re:A similar issue.... on Modding a Thinkpad Keyboard for External Use? · · Score: 1

    One word: VNC.

  13. I *have* experienced this problem!! on CD-ROMs Failing In Win2k & XP Boxes? · · Score: 1

    I have a particular box that experiences this problem and I've been unable to figure it out. It tri-boots windows 98SE, Windows 2000 (has also ran Windows XP Professional in place of Win2k), and Debian Sid.

    This problem only shows up when I'm using win2k or winxp. I've replaced the drive, the power supply, reformatted, etc. but it keeps happening when I'm using windows 2k/xp. The ironic thing is that I have two optical drives in this computer and only the first one disappears.

  14. Exotic Keyboard on Have Keyboards Gone Crazy? · · Score: 1

    If you're the type to drive a McClaren F1, you may want to look at the best keyboard money can buy. It even summons Jesus!

  15. Re:I was gonna try this... on Transferring Your Outlook and Quickbooks Data to Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    This does not work as even the Outlook-like program, Entourage for OS X can not import Outlook data.
