  1. Ansel Adams would wait weeks for a "perfect" shot on Would Ansel Adams Have Gone Digital? · · Score: 1

    The time he spent in the darkroom was all to
    make the finished image on print look as close
    to the "perfect" shot as possible from how he
    saw it.

    The man was a phenomenal artist and a wizard of
    photography.

    I take my hat off to him.

  2. You're all Missing the point here... on More Details Of IBM's Blue Gene/L · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hear:

    Oh wow, another technical marvel

    Oh Gee, another super computer...

    Morons...

    The whole point here, is that it makes the simulation
    of folding a complete gene in about a years time.

    If THAT doesn't bowl you over, don't post.

    p.s. I can hear the rest of you "umm... so?" people and I can't help you. Sorry. :)

  3. It isn't a desire for a new desktop that will on New SkyOS 5.0 Screenshots Released · · Score: 0

    bring about the emergence of a better desktop.

    It is the continued use of conventional "monitors"
    that needs to change.

    Only then will we move into an age where the flow of
    information is not tortured by misspellings and horrible grammer. One can dream, no?

  4. The number one lesson Microsoft has taught me is on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 0

    NEVER run microsoft products on microsoft operating
    systems.

    Do you REALLY think it would be wise to run linux
    for anything you depend on IN a MICROSOFT VM?

  5. I started to read the announcement... on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 0

    and then I lost my appetite.

    I sleep like a baby at night and have wonderful
    vivid dreams.
    I make a concious effort every day, all day, to be as honest as possible with myself
    and those around me.

    Life is a fabulous wonder with infinite resources
    to explore...

    I think it would be sickening to have to be
    Darl's analyst. Can you even begin to imagine?

  6. Gates Doesn't run Microshaft anymore. Apparently. on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 0

    He sounds very out of date, wishy washy
    and confusing. It doesn't really sound
    like he has an idea of current events.

    Typical

  7. Try the same search with different proxy servers on What's Wacky with Google? · · Score: 0

    Someone should take the time to do an in depth
    analysis.

    Perform the same set of searches using proxy servers
    from each country.

    Mondo bizzarro so far for me.

  8. Re:Spam is not going away on How to Kill Spam Without the State · · Score: 1

    "if your email address is picked up by a spammer"

    Don't leave your e-mail lying around.

  9. I'm tired of hearing everyone whining about spam on How to Kill Spam Without the State · · Score: 0, Troll

    I have 6 e-mail addresses.
    I get spam on ONE e-mail account. Deliberately.

    I DON'T get spam on MY e-mail accounts.

    I DON'T use spam filters, neither personal nor
    my isp's.

    If I HAVE to fill out a form I use the damn spam
    address and check it the next day.

    I HAVE been on the net for over 10 years and I
    will continue to shake my head and call you
    folks morons until you get a clue.

  10. And look at what happend to slashdot!!! on Sophos Acquires ActiveState · · Score: 1

    I mean... they said they wouldn't change anything
    or fire anyone... but do they REALLY
    expect us to believe some of these articles
    are still done by Cowboy Neal???

    I mean.. it's OBVIOUS that he's been replaced
    by 3 parakeets and a Rubber band... Isn't it???

  11. Not yet.... for RETAIL.... but on MUD Co-Creator Bartle On Voice Chat in MMOGs · · Score: 1

    Bandwidth is what's needed... It's also what's most
    expensive.

    What type of game would be best set up in a community
    for only locals on the local nets? Where (in a lot of areas) there is unused bandwidth available.

    So what if we don't have a way to CHEAPLY connect these Local Netgame communities YET...
    For the time being, we just need to develop them.

    Not web pages, not community websites or e-mail lists...

    A community game. Built from the ground up to utilize the bandwidth available on local lines... To connect a community.

    Someone needs to set up a server somewhere in a sympathetic town and get started on this. :)

    A lot of work will need to go into fine tuning the sound integration for bandwidth issues and user experience.

    Creating a game that promotes a healthy community as a natural by-product,
    would be intriguing.
