  1. Something disturbing on Review: Monarch Computer's Nemesis FX-57 7800 SLI Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    they list a feature on the motherboard, "IEEE". Do they realize that IEEE is an orginization, and not a part? The number that goes after IEEE is more important, like 802.11 or 1394

  2. Re:First thought was: on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Nintendo likes doing things differently then other companies. I think the controller has the possibility to work really well, and even wondering if there will be a PC version of it eventually. I was skeptical at first about controlling FPS games without a stick, but the attachment looks cool and comfortable.

  3. Re:My ones on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 5, Funny

    wow, that last one made me flinch in pain. My favorite problem was when my dad called me to fix the monitor, "I was watering the plants and missed. Now the screen is black and there is smoke in the room."

  4. Re:Sweet! on ZyXel P-2000W VoIP WLAN Phone Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    sarcasm noted, but the plans for some cell phones are expensive, esp if you are roaming.

  5. Re:part 2 - turn your floppy drive into a webserve on Old Floppy Drive Becomes New Turntable · · Score: 1

    Put a PIC chip in it

  6. Hello on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I welcome our medi-robo overlords. In all seriousness, isn't rampage a bit strong of a word to use?

  7. Simply? on The World of Blogebrities · · Score: 1

    I really could not care less no matter how hard I tried.

  8. Re:impossible combination on USB Flash Drive Round-up · · Score: 1

    I have a transcend jetfflash ( an older one then the one in the review.) It has a write protect switch on the side, and boots damn small linux.

  9. Re:what country again? on iPods Valuable in the College Classroom? · · Score: 2

    Yes, but the article was talking about Duke University, which is in America. Please repeat after me: "Read the freakin article"

  10. Re:Loosing Weight with DDR (on the pc!) on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 1

    Get stepmaina from sourceforge.com, go to levelsix.com and get the DDR Deluxe Dance Mat V.3.1 (PC/USB). It's under fifty bucks and works really well. (i've used the 3.1 pad for playstation and used an adapter) You will have to download some songs, but its really easy.

  11. More hackaday on Wooden-Cased Computers, Small and Extra-Large · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about the table, but I do know that the laptop was on hackaday a while ago http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000490035133/ . Why don't we just have a little side box for Hackaday stuff from now on?

  12. Re:PPC? on Xbox 2 to Release in Fall of This Year · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is experienced with PPC. They have been writting OSes for PPC for a while, since at least NT 3 if i recal.

  13. Re:I really want to read this... on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    Yes it's trivial. If it doesn't work right out of the box, i would be surprised. even if it doesn't there is a program called USB overdrive that i believe can map apple to the buttons to go back and forward

  14. My experience on Two Reviews of Microsoft AntiSpyware · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've tried it and it found some stuff that ad aware didn't even pick up. It also correctly identified tight vnc as a possible spyware app, but labeled it as low priority. I was more then happy with it.

  15. X-Box? on simPC - Your Grandparents' New Computer? · · Score: 1

    Why not just give people an X-box with a custom version of Linux? It would be more then $200 cheaper on the hardware side. All you would need to add is a keyboard and mouse. It should be able to do all the things that this box can do, and as long as the distro was set up correctly, should be as easy to operate and not have to really worry about virii. I understand there are legal problems with reselling hacked X-Boxes, this is all theoretical.

  16. Be Evil on Cutting Through a Wi-Fi Traffic Jam? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was thinking of something more evil. (eviler?) Just login, turn off their wireless all together, and change the default password. No more noise. Truthfully, I would just go with hacked firmware that allows the use of other channels.

  17. Re:One week... on Wired's 2004 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 1

    But there is no online gameplay, so can that part be considered vaporware?

  18. Re:For us laptop folk on An Exhaustive 16X DVD Burner Roundup · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have the NEC 2500A in a bytecc 1394 case as does a good friend of mine. My house mate has the NEC 3500A in the 1394/usb version of the case. It was $40 on newegg. I only burt one coaster out of about 150 DVDs, but I think it was from my laptop messing up.
