  1. Re:No idea what that means on Simulations Back Up Theory That Universe Is a Hologram · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Computer: end program."

  2. Well, crap... on Will Microsoft Dis-Kinect Freeloading TV Viewers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...guess I'll have to move out of my hall of mirrors. "You are licensed for two viewers...we show 185 currently watching this program."

  3. Interesting, but IP related? on Internal Bug: Code Flaw May Lead to Wrong Dose From Infusion Pump · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't see any mention in the article that having the device connected to IP is causing the issue. Sounds like a touchscreen / code issue. The FDA's article also doesn't specify anything other than that.
    Hospira has completed an investigation into customer reports and has found the major contributor to be software related. Other contributing root causes that have been identified include damaged connections, physical damage and other touch screen defects.

    It would be nice if the article would stick to the point and not confuse issues.

  4. I think this would be the perfect time... on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 2

    ...to point out that there is a vast difference between a "scientist" and a "Christian scientist".

  5. Re:Advertising? on Firefox Update Kills Bugs, Adds Mac Support · · Score: 1

    I wasn't too interetest either - so I donated to /.

  6. Re:WOAH on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1

    Not mine - it's 192.168.1.100.

  7. Re:Change of ticker symbol on SCO Granted Hearing on Potential Delisting · · Score: 1

    Yeah, as others have mentioned above already, the E indicates that they are not in compliance with the exchange's rules.

  8. Re:That's all well and good, but... on Comparing MySQL Performance · · Score: 3, Funny

    Man, if I had a nickel for every time I saw a mute stochastic fair queueing argument at Starbucks...I'd...uhhh...never mind.

  9. RentMyChest.com on Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay · · Score: 3, Informative

    Chris Pirillo (of Lockergnome fame) started something similar a few years back. Check out Rent My Chest for more info. Basically, PayPal him 20 US bucks, and he'll write on his chest and put the 640x480 shot up on the web for people to see. Granted, it's not 30 days, but just showing the concept isn't new.

  10. Check out TomsHardware.com's review of Soundbridge on FIA On3 Networked Multimedia System Reviewed · · Score: 3, Informative
    It sounds like the Roku Soundbridge might be what you're looking for. Non-MS, but plays lots of formats (no OGG though).

    Tom's Networking just did a review that covers this subject, including how to serve tunage to it over a Linux server (they mention the hacked NSLU2 project, but it sounds like any Linux box could do the job).

    Or, heck, skip the network and just use CompactFlash.

  11. Re:Duh on How About a Gigapixel Digital Camera? · · Score: 1

    Maybe it can run gzip on the image successive times until it's down to a single byte, then just send that.

  12. Re:What exactly is a blade? on Build Your Own Blade Server · · Score: 1
    Here you go.

    Essentially, it's a computer, but usually shares some common PC aspects with other "blades" (i.e. the power supply, disk storage).

  13. Re:Import ca.crt from logon.bat on Free Certificate Authority Unveiled by Aussies · · Score: 1
    Users don't need to do it, the machine needs to put it in its root store. Schedule a task to use CertMgr.exe.

    See JSI Tip 4107.

  14. Re:50 - 157 km/h in 4 seconds on Automobile Black Box Sends Driver to Jail · · Score: 1

    That would be pretty powerful. But it doesn't say that. It says he topped out at 157 in a 50Kph-limit zone. He could have been doing 140 before that.

  15. Re:Lots of useless data in there on ICANN Cracks Down on Invalid WHOIS Data · · Score: 1
    I'm curious - how do you take into account NATted corporations? i.e. People from literally all over the world, coming from a single IP address. From your previous posts, you're treating them as if they're from a single location. And if you answer that "it's the netblock, stupid", what if two people from a branch respond but the netblock owners don't?

    I guess I really don't understand the relevance of your database.

  16. Didn't work for OS/2 on Is the Key to Linux a Games-Based Distro? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I was a member of TeamOS/2 and we all thought that StarDock was going to help get the OS recognized. Hah.

    Of course, you couldn't just run OS/2 off of a CD with no install, and video was next to impossible to configure correctly when you didn't specifically know what video card was in the box, and networking didn't work, yada, yada, yada...

    Anyway, it would certainly help to have a WIDE VARIETY of games, that rivalled ones on other platforms, etc.

  17. Check out March 2004's PopSci... on CMU First To Qualify For DARPA Grand Challenge · · Score: 5, Informative
    Popular Science has a great article in the March 2004 edition (online here at PopSci.com) called "Clash of the Headless Humvees".

    Weird title, seeing how they showcase the CMU entry, a high-school entry running in an Acura (donated by a parent who works for Honda) and a single-member "team" trying to do a motorcycle entry.

  18. What does "fo" refer to? on Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO · · Score: 1, Interesting

    When they talk about "fo"ing the IPX code, I'm assuming that it's an acronym for some sort of patent process? What's the deal?

  19. Re:The only thing that worries me is SPAM on Polymer Vision Produces 5" Rollable Displays · · Score: 1
    Yeah, and I'm really dreading that walk down the cereal aisle in the supermarket.

    Just imagine Mark Martin driving a car in circles, while Mr. Bean tries to sell you some kids' cereal and Dig'Em is hopping around and ...uhhh... whatever Post would do for Grape Nuts...

  20. Re:Link for 2.8 guess is wrong on Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results · · Score: 4, Informative

    It says that you're voting for 2.8, however the submission response page incorrectly states 2.6. You're voting for 2.8, and they'll correct the page eventually.

  21. Re:Call Centers and the Like on The IT Market: Cyclical Downturn or New World Order? · · Score: 1

    That USED to be true. Unfortunately, they have enough experience and tie-in to corporate structures that they are now getting the actual programming and project management positions, where everything about a project is now not just off-site but also off-shore.
