  1. Re:Is it really worth the trouble? on Caveats In Reselling DSL Bandwidth To Neighbors? · · Score: 1

    Did you actually ASK him for help? Maybe he thought you liked the exercise or something. Or maybe he's partially blind and couldn't see to the next driveway. Maybe there was a tear in the space-time continuum, and he actually came over to help, but you didn't see him. Or something. At any rate, I bet he asked YOU for help with his fence.

  2. NOT TRUE on LAN Party at a High School? · · Score: 1

    Apparently you haven't been to a decent high school. At my school, we've got seriously HUNDREDS of computers running EVERY DAY. There's AT LEAST one computer in every room, and we've got two 25-computer labs. Trust me, if his school is like mine, the infrastructure for this kind of thing is there. If only they weren't all IMacs!!!!

  3. Re:Consider It Carefully on LAN Party at a High School? · · Score: 1

    A neighboring school has a CS Club. My school had a Halo 2 tournament. Some people at my school bring their xboxes to school, and play it in classes when they're not doing anything.

  4. Re:Why do you need money? on LAN Party at a High School? · · Score: 1

    I know how the money thing goes; every club I'm in at school does independent fund-raising. Trust me, schools pay for nothing anymore. One club at my school sponsored a Halo 2 tournament. They had a 4-port router, 4 xboxes, and 4 projectors (courtesy of the school's library). It was tons of fun. About 30 people showed up throughout the day, and they charged 6 dollars for entrance. I'm not sure how much you need (probably a lot more than $180) but things ran smoothly, and setup was very easy.

    More programs run on Microsoft OS'es than any other single vendor's.

  6. Re:Wrong answer on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Spammers neither detect odors around me, or allow me to walk. They're more like bacteria than a nose or a foot. So, on a side note, when was the last time you took antibiotics?

  7. Re:Is It Right? on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 1

    Is it wrong to kill an enemy soldier? What if you know he's about to kill you? Not that spam is holding a gun held to my head, but at some point we've got to take a stand, you know?

  8. Re:DDOS? Or manual takedown? on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Brings Down Spam Sites · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does it matter? Mission (screw the spammers) accomplished either way.

    No, it's not- it's fighting back. This should serve as a lesson to those spyware kiddies, too. It's about time these malware losers got a taste of their own medicine.

    Uhhhh... if you make it to their website, their current location is Hampton NH. Way to go, Champ.

  11. Re:New Hampshire on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 1

    This place is in Hampton, NH which is very close to the seacoast, as well as portsmouth. Also, it's a pretty short train ride to Boston. Now, as for Nashua being "urbanized"... maybe compared to Fargo or Left of the Dog's Hind Leg, NH, but compared to the rest of the world... no. The only city in NH I'd call urban is Manchester. Oh yeah... I live in NH too. And I like it.

  12. Yes, but... on A Six-Step Plan for Apple · · Score: -1, Troll

    The attacks will rage upon OSX (just like they do now to Windows) as soon as it becomes popular. Exploits are found in Windows and not in OSX not becuase there are more in Windows, but because people know that the Microsoft exploits will reach more people. As soon as this becomes untrue, Mac will have the same problem Windows does. Or Linux, for that matter.

  13. Re:Excellent for the Chinese Market on Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Perhaps slightly off topic, but good info nonetheless... I see this so often, yet it never ceases to bug me. The definition of volatile is NOT "likely to react" it's "likely to evaportae." At least, as far as chemistry is concerned, that's the definition. Dictionary.com agrees with me. Although "Tending to violence" is the third definition, this definition does not pertain to chemistry.

  14. aren't we already? on Live-Action Anime: Casshern · · Score: 1

    I think the Matrix proved that producers are no longer limited to traditional physics.

    Call of Duty pales in comparison to Battlefield 1942. After playing bf I just can't go back to an inferior game.
