    ...When the program on one of those disks gets run by some curious person, don't you feel that the virus writer is at least somewhat liable, even though he didn't "pull the trigger"?...

    Nope! Clearly it's the library's fault for maintaining machines with floppy drives capable of running the virus!

  6. Easier than a Floppy on Using an Old Satellite Dish as a WLAN Antenna · · Score: -1, Troll

    I was helping my friend get some file off her WinXP box (that died) and I needed to make a floppy boot disk to load up readntfs to scour the hard drive. I spent 45 minutes looking for a floppy! Ever since my I got my Powerbook I've never used them. I finally found one out in out shed which stores the remains of my brother's ISP startup.

    There was also a Primestar dish and a DTV Dish out there. Irony.

  7. Or better yet... on When Does Website Monitoring Go Too Far? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Charge for it. Notify yer customer (by perl of course *tee hee*) that their logs are causing their account to approach its space limit. They can either move the logs, delete the logs, stop the logging software or remove the logging software. Warn them that if this is not taken care of additional hd space fees will apply.

    Make sure they know that cleaning up logs should be *cough* easy and pain free!

  16. Re:How about giving away the song? on Apple Responds To iTunes "First Sale" Question · · Score: 1

    Absolutely! Apple trusts you not to keep a copy just like you trust your consumer with your account! All you have to do is give the buyer your iTMS account information (don't forget the password!) and transfer the license to their computer.

    Best part is it's free!

  17. Power concerns on Apple Wins VT in Cost. vs. Performance · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I'm suprized not to find Power consumption/heat dissapation in the presentation. You'd think that the cost go running 1100 CPU 24/7 would be mentioned in there. Although it's likely that Apple would have wone that also.

    Full operation by Jan 1 2004- that's cool.

    Actually it's like when girl "love" this guy, but he has problems and so he beats her and she hates that but she just keeps going back.

    Trus me I've seen hundreds of people whine and complain about how horrid their Windows computer is, and then when the time comes they buy back into the beating.

    I look at these wonderful girls an women in violent relationships and my heart goes out to them. I see all these windows user and can't help but think: "Why aren't they getting out of that relationship."

  23. Re:What will it be powering? on Fuel Cells To Appear In Laptops In 2004 · · Score: 1

    Yeah I suppose for the most part that's true. except I had a Pismo 400Mhz g3 that could last about 5 hour 20 Minutes pretty consistently. Granted that was with the screen at about half brightness while doing a bit of typing but it sure was nice to use it all day at school without having to carry around a power supply.

    After 2 month abroad I was watching DVDs on it on the 11 hour flight home hand it made it through about a half hour of playing snood then one and a half James Bond DVDs (which are really cheap in Thailand).

    Also one I left it asleep for 2 and a half months straight (This was just after I got my shiny new G4) and one day opened it expecting it to be dead but the green light stopped pulsing and went to a steady glow and a two month old photoshop project was still on the screen- wow.

    Thinking back I shouldn't have sold it.

    I think they are excellent machines, but not for science.

    Of course WinTel is the ultimate science platform. It's not like intel has a history of CPUs that can't do math. It's not like windows doesn't have a history of wild instability.

    I think Apple's are great machines too- but I think you're a troll.

  25. Re:What will it be powering? on Fuel Cells To Appear In Laptops In 2004 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    'course you can get a lil one to run 10+ hours if you're using a 200Mhz Transmeta with no optical drive and a itty bitty 10" screen. I think that's what they mean by "it will last 10 hours." In reality I don't expect this bic lighter to last any longer than my current battery.

    If I had a 2Ghz P4 I wouldn't expect it to last more than 2 hours.

    My bet is that those 10 hour estimates rely on future expected power saving advancements (read: Vapor!).
