  1. Re:hmmmm on First Canadian High Speed Internet over Power Grid · · Score: 3, Funny

    Isn't that called natural selection?

  2. Re:ISDN to mars on Spirit Sends Debug Information to Earth · · Score: 1

    At least you have a less than five minute ping. Think about those poor Martians playing Quake!

  3. Re:Digital watch a step backwards on Forgotten Electronics of the 70s and 80s · · Score: 1

    You assume that either way you won't make it back in time for dinner.

  4. Re:I guess someone forgot to tell them on Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content? · · Score: 1

    Hey now, stop including South America, Canada, and Mexico in your assumption of stupid people. :|

    While I admit a lot of people from the USA are stupid, there are a lot of stupid people in the other countries. That is the unfortunate way it works.

  5. Re:If it was truly peer-to-peer... on Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content? · · Score: 1

    The Gnutella 2 network is more or less independent. As long as a few people let their computers be hubs, (You don't necessarily need hubs, either) the network should be able to stay up. Especially with the alternate source mesh, any popular files could survive even if a large portion was to be shut down. Shareaza and I think Gnucleus and Morpheus support G2.

  6. If it's degrading that fast... on Bleak Future for Videogame Customers · · Score: 1

    I guess I'll just have to stick with my N64. Heck, get ROM of my favorite games and an emulator, and I can continue playing after the system dies for whatever reason. With 64bit CPU's nowadays, N64 ROMS may now be playable on regular computers.

  7. Re:Makes me glad on TruSonic Uses MP3.com Catalog As Muzak · · Score: 1

    But then there are the problems that come with listening to music.

  8. Re:USB 1.1? on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 1

    Well, all that could be avoided by using a resumeable download. :x

  9. Google fights back: on SCO Approaches Google About Linux Licenses · · Score: 1

    And Google would fight back by redirecting all searches about and links to SCO to goatse.cx.

  10. Re:Not just cameras. on 4GB HD in Under an Inch · · Score: 1

    And it loses it faster than compact flash!

  11. Re:Correlation does not equal causation on Pew Study Says RIAA Tactics Are Working · · Score: 2, Informative

    Shareaza is a pretty good client. It supports Gnutella 1 and Gnutella 2, as well as eDonkey2000 and BitTorrent. I don't know if it counts as "more sophisticated" but if Kazaa really did not hash the entire file, then at least G2 is more sophisticated, since it makes sure the entire file is not corrupted. Plus, there's no spyware. :x

  12. Re:You know you're a Martian redneck when . . . on Mars Crater Theory Tries To Explain Missing Beagle · · Score: 1

    Where'd they get the cinder from?

  13. Re:Umm yeah, on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 1

    But you already have two!

  14. Re:Politically odd? (sorry, OT) on China, Russia, U.S. To Build 100MBps Network · · Score: 1

    Don't ask, just be glad the network is there. Asking about politics will just confuse you more.

  15. Re:Correct...and.... on Microsoft Sends Linux Survey · · Score: 1

    You don't have to give your email address.

  16. Re:What happens during commercials? on Christmas Lighting in Abundance · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming it's basically a visualization, which would mean they would light to the commercials too.

  17. Re:Safer right-turn on red on FCC Approves Highway Radiosystems · · Score: 1

    That's until we all get barcoded and RFIDed.

  18. But what about down south? on The Cost of 12 Days of Christmas · · Score: 1

    But what I want to know is how much the Redneck Twelve days of Christmas would cost. $263.95, perhaps?

  19. Re:I tried Xarandos once. on Xandros version 2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Though many live in a windowless basement.

  20. Re:Same Old on Intertrust Plans Universal DRM System · · Score: 1

    Some DVDs have a lock on a certain section (Usually ads/copyright notice) so you can't skip it. Apparently his DVD player doesn't let him stop it during them, either.

  21. Re:final? on Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5! · · Score: 1

    It means that version is final. Ie 5.0 is done, next is either something like 5.1 or 5.0.1. :x

  22. Re:$? Re:Bah, that's nothing on Spain, Morocco To Build Undersea Rail Tunnels · · Score: 1

    But still to a lot lesser extent, as it only has to put up with people, most of which are going by rather fast.

  23. Re:floppy on New Low Cost DVD Burners Hit The Streets · · Score: 1

    When the only connection is a WiFi card that isn't supported by Windows, it's a little hard to do a network transfer. I used a floppy disk recently to copy some drivers to a laptop for the WiFi card. Apparently, Windows does have support for the cards, just not the brand I have.

    For small files floppy disks are pretty good, though for any large data transfer, obviously one would use a CD drive. Though unless you have a reason to burn lots of CDs, it's quite easier to be using floppy disks more than CD-Rs.

  24. Re:Removable? on Anti-static Polymer Stores Data, Too · · Score: 0

    I'm sure, considering the size of it (1 cm Cubed), the drive interface would have multiple slots, much like how a motherboard has several slots for RAM.

  25. Boxen.. on More Info on Debian.org Security Breach · · Score: 3, Funny

    Here come the comments about the word "boxen..."
