  2. Re:Doom III on Dual Channel Memory Shootout · · Score: 1

    Though Doom III will be out soon, unfortunatly you will have to wait a bit longer for Intel's new quantium processor to run the damn thing smoothly.

    Maybe this "killer app" (pun intended) will help give the PC industry a shot in the arm it needs. Then again...I suppose spyware is already doing that. Ohhhh the irony.

  3. Re:AWESOME! on X43-A on to Mach 10 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Trouble with the concord wasn't a technical issue though. It was more of a social/political issue involving the "sonic boom" that it generated over cities and towns. But super sonic flight over water wasn't an issue. As for the scramjet, being that it would be partially in space this may not be an issue. But I wouldn't be the one to give you an answer on that. Anyone else claim to know the answer on this?

    I hope many "rich people" do take this thrill ride. Because the more money is spent by consumers on exotic airline services such as this, the quicker such services will trickle down to the common man and women making a modest income.

    Just look at the airline industry today. Plane rides in the 40s used to be for the rich man and seen as a privilege to those who can afford it. Now days', taking a plane is nothing more then a public bus in the sky. All in all, a very unpleasant experience but will get you to your destination much faster then say a train or car would.

  5. Coast to Coast AM on Mitnick Speaks About Hacking · · Score: 2, Informative

    The biggest and most widely available talkshow at night is called Coast to Coast AM (formerly ArtBells program). Dispite the many other dubiuos guests on the program, Keven is regarded as a "regular" on the air. Expect to hear from him every now and then.

    Note: I've submitted to Slash.Dot many times about the availabilty of the interview with him. However, the editors managed to not give a damn. Oh well, at least I tried.

  6. Re:Promote Diversity on Synthetic Biology May Spawn Biohackers · · Score: 1

    The people in China in India want boys over girls. This is VERY BAD because as they grow old enough to want a mate, men will literally fight for a female. Wars are started over the simple means to procreate. Always has been, always will be.

    Sometimes they can't if the idea is patented. The inventor may say yes, but the corporation he sold his rights to would (for the most part) say no. At least that's the way it is in the modern world. So if you can invent, chances are you already devoted your personal resources to the company you work for...save for a few personal projects they wouldn't know about.

  8. Bit Torrents on P2P Networks Blamed For Software Losses Doubling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With the availability of sites such as Suprnova and such, it wouldn't suprise me.

Encrypted of course

  9. Should not happen on Evaluating Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2 · · Score: 1

    If you have to type a password, what stops it from waiting until you type it for another program, sniffing it, then typing it in automatically when it tries to run?

    A program should not be able to do ANYTHING before the installation process is invoked by the user. So if spyware can keystroke log BEFORE the actual install process can be taken place, then obviously there is an issue with the OS to even alow that to happen with (durring the time) an unknown process/program.

  10. Clone an Eyeball on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Damn...I really need to find the link. But basically, it was about cloning eyeballs and having them grow inside a chicken egg. As the organ develops (such as the eyeball) it would feed off the yolk.

    As funny and strange as it sounds, bio-mechanically I don't see why this wouldn't work. If this is possible, maybe in the future I can have a cloned heart grown in an ostrich egg. Just a thought.....

    None the less, it does make for good SciFi material. :)

    So is Bush supposed to stop for EVERYTHING that goes wrong. For all he and the Pentagon knew, it was just a freak event in involved a plane that "might have been" malfunctioning. It was only after the second event did it raise a red flag sort of speak.

    If your average earthquake in Cali happens, would you stop everything your doing as the president? Sure, you would take notice. But not right then and there. And it certainly wouldn't be a national crisis, just localized.

    "Moore doesn't want a president that's in a school browsing a book when USA is attacked by Al-Qaida. That's what this is all about."

    Bush had no idea the country was being attacked after the first plane hit the WTC. It wasn't until the second building that was hit that he responded to his advisors.

    Now, had he jumped up and responded to the first plane crash...then I might be suspicious. I mean, plan crashes happen all the time. Why would he jump up and leave class after the first plane hit the building?

    Interesting point about the Mac in terms of little user administration needed to keep the system clean and bug free. But let's say everyone switched from Wintel PCs to the Mac platform.
