  1. Re:sound on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 1

    i found on my HP that the sound was extremely tempormental, and would only work as a module. i cant figure out the reasoning behind it, but now that i have a new non-generic card, i'm having no trouble

  2. 2.6's shortcomings on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    i tried both 2.6 and 2.6.2 and i must say i wasn't really impressed with either. besides the fact that alot less stuff was echo'ed, the new make xconfig was annoying to work with, and it was actually nicer to just use menuconfig. also, i had a lot of trouble getting the framebuffer to work. right now, i have a dual boot with 2.4.22, 2.6.2, and windows (in order of preference)

  3. special? on RSA Creating RFID Blocker Tag · · Score: 1

    is this anything really special? it seems to me like its just another variation of a radar jammer at a RFID frequency.

  4. advertising to the masses on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    i dont know about ferrari, but i know that porche has been doing this for years. not only can you buy a quarter mil car, you can buy various watches, leather goods, and best of all, there is a porche line of grundig shortwave radios.

  5. selling out is the "in thing" on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    i dont recall ferrari doing this before, but I know porche has been doing it for years. not only can you spent a quarter mil on a cool car, you can buy various watches, leather goods, and best of all, grundig makes at least one model of a shortwave radio.

  6. children on Outsourced Confidential Data On Children Posted · · Score: 1

    what does the fact that the info was about children? although they may be more at risk to pedophiles, it is ALWAYS a bad thing when confidentially is broken.

  7. strategy on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 1

    although this seems to be exiting for linux's future, i dont think it nessaryily is a great thing. if linux becomes known to everyone (especially the non-techies) as "that cellphone thing", it will become more of a rut for those hoping for it to become a viable desktop for everyone.

  8. obvious answer on The Useless Meeting Wack Jobs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i think everyone hates meetings, but are too busy (attempting to)entainertain themselves to close their mouth and end the meeting. sorry to sound bitter. i am

  9. air traffic? on Profile of the Mind of a Virus Writer · · Score: 1

    is this a no fly zone? or does it break up airplanes too?

  10. saftey? on Spirit Grinds Adirondack, Looks for Iron · · Score: 1

    saftey feature = bsod

  11. hacker movies on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 1

    this sounds like a really cool idea. not to mention being reminicent of tactics used in (cheesy) hacker movies (like "hackers")

  12. scary on Spirit 'Will Be Perfect Again' · · Score: 2, Funny

    that sounds a little too similar to what i did with my fancy TI graphing calculator last week...

  13. Re:Yes but... on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 0

    dont quote me on this but i think it is like windows 3.11. theres still a 'dos' backbone but a gui will let you run (slightly) newer games.

  14. irony on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 0

    isn't ironic how a dell article can have a big hp ad (unless your a subscriber)

  15. DDoS threat or /. ? on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i was just checking to see if sco.com was down and it dawned on me that whenever an 'evil' company such as sco goes down it is reported on /.. I wonder how much the slashdot effect plays into the consumption of bandwidth of the sites? this may provide to be intresting if someone looks into it...

  16. success! on 'Just Sleep On It' Solves Tricky Problems? · · Score: 0

    I finally have a REAL excuse to sleep through copm-sci!

  17. high on fumes... on More ApeXtreme Info · · Score: 5, Funny

    all this vaporware is making me dizzy

  18. got milk? on Coffee Flavored Breakfast Cereal · · Score: 1

    this is a great idea! not only will this save on milk, if you use coffee milk, you dont need to worry about all that caffinated goodness being diluted.

  19. Re:cameras on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1

    dont shoot the messinger. thats just what i heard for all i know it could just be bogus

  20. cameras on Europe Begins Noise Mapping Effort · · Score: 1, Troll

    i heard the other day that london had the most hidden cameras in the world. is not being video taped good enough? i guess now they feel they need to get a 100.0 surround sound speaker system going too.
