  1. Re:occam's razor on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    When all you've got is an AC-130 (or whatever they were in) everything looks like an insurgent.

  2. Remote Control? on Bluetooth Prosthetics Help US Marine To Walk Again · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If his legs get bluejacked does this make him the worlds first remote controlled human?

  3. This "device" gives new meaning... on PTO Requests Working Model of Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    to the phrase "spin up the FTL drive."

  4. FreeBSD on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    FreeBSD is scalable, dependable, and very high performance. It's also easy to maintain since people didn't make the distribution without a plan.

  5. Re:Rebuild it all? on Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries · · Score: 2, Informative

    They took detailed measurements, pictures, etc of all the sets before destroying them. It will help them recreate the sets. And the other stuff like Pilot was put into crates and sent off to storage.

  6. Sci-Fi actually did something right on Sci Fi Confirms Forthcoming Farscape Miniseries · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is the first "right" thing Sci-Fi has done since cancelling Farscape. Every other series they've brought on like Mad Mad House or whatever it is, is crud. Hopefully this is a sign that Sci-Fi is learning from it's past mistakes, but I doubt it.

  7. Firefox improved? on Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller · · Score: 1

    Has firefox gotten the mozilla improvements yet?

  8. Gentoo's bootscripts do not use Python. on Which Style Init Scripts Do You Prefer? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you had bothered to actually look at Gentoo's bootscripts, you would have noticed there is no python. It is all bash based.

  9. FreeBSD "more advanced" on FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE Review · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Overall 5.2-RELEASE is disappointing from a desktop perspective, but it's still more advanced than any community GNU/Linux distribution that you'll find, especially in the area of AMD64 support.


    Umm, no. SuSE has the best AMD64 support and I dare say Gentoo has second or third best. And in my own experience with FreeBSD 5.2, I find that linux is a much more viable desktop/server OS than freebsd.
  10. How long till KDE can be the DE? on Konqueror Compiled For Mac OS X; KOffice Next · · Score: 0, Troll

    It would be kickin' rad if they figure out a way to replace the mac os window manager (I do not think of os x as anything more than a window manager, imho) with KDE.

  11. Re:How does this benefit me? on Linux 2.6.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    There are benefits across all areas. 1. More Stable 2. More Scalable 3. None of that annoying cursor lag when you have 100% processor usage. 4. Lots and lots of tuning. 5. Too much stuff to name. It's really an all across the board improvement of 2.4.

  12. Re:so, any source distributions able to use this? on Intel C/C++ Compiler 8.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Using the ebuilds posted on gentoo's bugzilla, I can NOT use icc 8 as a drop in replacement. Attempting to compile 2.6.0-test11 results in screens of errors after executing 'make bzImage'. If this was supposed to be able to compile the linux kernel or be a drop in replacement, it fails. Horribly.

  13. Changelog on KDE 3.2 beta 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Anyone got a changelog for this? I couldn't see one linked on the front page of kde.org or in the link on the article.

  14. Re:Not close to enough power... on Need... More... Power... · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean this:

    You have an Intel, right?

    Remember recent Intel processors run hotter than AMD processors!

  15. Darpa should choose... on DARPA's Autonomous Vehicle Challenge Too Popular? · · Score: 1

    .. the most likely to actually produce something worthwhile to the rest of us. If there is no benefit to anyone, why bother? That should be glaringly obvious to anyone.

  16. Re:p2p is the future on New P2P Battle is Heating Up · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There comes a time when you must share to gain. This is the nature of p2p. No sharing, no speed. Besides you don't seem to be well informed about bittorrent. Get one of the limiting clients and you can set your upload to 15kb/s or whatever you want (except 0) and you will still get good speeds. BTW, quit being a leech and a troll.

  17. Are those numbers wrong or is it just me? on Benchmarking With Halo For PC · · Score: 1

    Did anyone actually read this review? The conclusion had some scores that looked totally whack unless I'm interpreting things wrong. Using pixel shader 1.1 @ 1024x768 @ 3.2ghz a 9800 pro got 27 FPS. The FX 5900 got 24 fps. Now same pixel shader version except the processor is at 2.4ghz and the resolution is 1600x1200. The 9800 pro got *55* fps. The FX5900 got *31* fps. Why is it this game is performing BETTER on a slower processor at a higher resolution? Is something whack here or am I interpreting this wrong?

  18. AP! on Michigan To Purchase Record 130,000 Laptops · · Score: 1

    Michigan has just become the new AP heaven of choice...

  19. This just in: on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 1

    SCO claims the Half-Life 2 Source code contains System V code. Darl McBride is expected to announce a new licenscing scheme later today. Anyone that has viewed Half-Life 2 movies, screenshots, or other material concerning it will be required to pay a $699 license to have viewed such materials.

  20. Warez on IRC in the Dog House? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IRC also tends to be a very easy way to access all kinds of illegal stuff. As well as bait for DDoS and other annoying attacks.

  21. Re:Strike 2 on RIAA Sues the Wrong Person · · Score: 1

    The artist doesn't really own the song. The recording company does.

  22. Strike 2 on RIAA Sues the Wrong Person · · Score: 4, Funny

    First the 12 year old and now this. I wonder what the third strike will be? Perhaps someone inside the RIAA? That'll be a PR disater.

  23. Wow! on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I just tried this with some co-workers! They still don't believe it.

  24. But but but... on Step-by-Step Computer Destruction · · Score: 0

    what about the volters? You know, those nifty little cables that have a wall jack on one end and a plug of your choice on the other end. It's very satisfying to plug one of those into some random ethernet port and watch the ensuing chaos.

  25. Why not? on Testing The Right To Resell Downloaded Music · · Score: 0

    Why not? I can resale software. Whats the difference with music? There may not be a little sheet of paper that's supposed to be a license that comes with the song like a software purchase would come with but so what?
