  1. TechWeek: AMD Wakes the Sinking Giant on Intel's New Architecture Too Late? · · Score: 4, Informative
  2. Re:Get the Windows Media Encoder - Free download on Redirecting Audio from PC to PC? · · Score: 1

    Requirements for "Capture and Broadcast of audio files" per Microsoft's site

    Exactly. "Pay special attention to the first line." You looked at the requirement for capture and broadcast. You can broadcast from media files already saved on the disk and thus no need to capture live media. I have it setup and working. If you need more information, post your email and I will send you the instructions on how to do it. It is so easy, you just need to install the encoder and spend about 5 minutes configuring it.

  3. Get the Windows Media Encoder - Free download on Redirecting Audio from PC to PC? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just get the Windows Media Encoder 9 Series and you can broadcast the streaming media over the network

  5. Go with iSeries on IBM iSeries or Windows server? · · Score: 1

    iSeries is one of the best systems made. It has the top security build from gound up and no viruses and such. You can run multiple Operating systems on in such as OS/400, Windows, Unix in their own logical partitions. It is very reliable piece of hardware and I would pick it every time over intel based windows servers. If you can afford the initial hardware cost, go with iSeries without any thought.

  6. Seagate warranty on Seagate buys Maxtor for $1.9B · · Score: 1

    I have bought Seagate drives simply because they had 5 year warranty compared to tiny warranties on Maxtor and Western Digital...I had western digital fail on me in the third year.

  8. French fries!! on Breakthrough in Biodiesel Production · · Score: 1

    First the rise in gas prices and then the rise in the prices of french fries and potato chips!! Well, at least that will do some good to the American health...

  9. Paranoia on A Skype Equivalent Without "Big Brother"? · · Score: 1

    This is again a sign of government paranoia. Bad guys will use some obscure/less known software for communication while the government will spend taxpayers' money on useless monitoring of those taxpayers...

  11. What is the cosmological constant ? on Einstein's Biggest Blunder That Wasn't · · Score: 5, Informative

    The cosmological constant is an extra term in Einstein's equations of general relativity which physically represents the possibility that there is a density and pressure associated with "empty" space. The inclusion of this vacuum energy term can greatly effect cosmological theories.

  12. Easy on Wireless/Wired Router Solutions for 2 Networks? · · Score: 1

    Connect your router WAN port to the regular port of the main router. Use different IP address range. If the parent router (with DHCP or non-DHCP) has IP of 192.168.1.1, use your router to assign IP in the range 10.10.1.xxx or 172.16.255.xxx

    Science: Archaeological Uncovers a New Name

    A shard of pottery unearthed in a decade-old dig in southern Israel carried an inscription in early Semitic style spelling "Alwat and "Wlt", likely Philistine renderings of the name Goliath, said Aren Maeir, who directed the excavation.

    Believers will believe anything... Where is the "Religion:" section on /.??

  14. Ridiculous on Army Develops New Chewing Gum · · Score: 1

    This is ridiculous. Chewing the gum might kill some of the bacteria and do superficial cleaning but have these guys compared the size of a pack of floss to the size of these gum packs? Floss takes much less space (its just thread) than packs of gum and is much more effective in dental cleaning!

  19. Default option on HP to Install Netscape on all new PCs · · Score: 1

  20. This is how you fix it on Windows XP SP2 and WEP Encryption? · · Score: 1

    "FYI: There is no MAC address filtering and the WEP 64 key is 5 characters and the 128 key is 13 characters. I've tried the laptops in other WEP encrypted networks with the same results and I've tried other laptops on my network with same results. My Tivo and friends Windows 2000 latop both connect to the WEP encrypted network without any troubles and work just fine."

    Windows XP with SP2 runs just fine with WEP networks. You need to put hex characters (0-9 A-F) in the key.

    Have fun.

  21. Dave La Reau on Small Town USA Competing With India · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is the first time on slashdot, I can comment from my first hand experience as this company is where we outsourced outr work and I met Dave La Reau about a month ago in person. What they won't tell you is that they took a 3 month project last one year and it is still not complete!! His company hired people and sent them to our site as experts when they barely had any knowledge of the platform/technology. They were learning on the job while charging over $40 an hour rate. It is shocking to see them trying to get publicity on ABC news when they provide such crappy skills that mediocre offshore contracting firms can provide much better!!

  24. Smart encryption utility on British Police Demand Access To Encryption Keys · · Score: 1

    How about making an encryption utility that can take multiple encryption keys (one or more) and you can save multiple files (or folders) with each encryption key all in one place. So if someone makes you give your key at gunpoint, you give them the dummy one(s) and tehy will get the dummy files decrypted. Rest won't be decrypted because the key for those wasn't entered.
