  1. Why gaming? on ATI Touting 3D Gaming Chip For Cellphones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Shouldn't this thing be used for a wireless, 3D map service, or other, more useful applications? Mobile phone gaming isn't nearly ready to compete with Nintendo, and small screens aren't appropriate for 3D games.

    And isn't it time to retire the "-eon" suffix?

  2. Used to have one of those cards... on Seeking Drivers for Unknown Apple Ethernet Card? · · Score: 1

    I used to have a card that looked exactly like that, in an LC II I got from my high school. I have no idea what brand or model it is.

    It worked perfectly with a default System 7.5 install (using the network access disk to boot (Iomega driver bunged in), and then a SCSI Zip drive to install 7.5.3 and the 7.5.5 update), so I assume the drivers are bundled with the System 7.5 software.

    Oh, and it's really, really slow.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Skaro on EverQuest And The Skaff Effect Explored · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...was the planet on which the Daleks lived.

    Very clever "department" subheader.

  4. Creapy? on Officials secretly RFID'd at Internet Summit · · Score: 1

    From the that's-just-crappy dept, with an apostrophe.

  5. Eh? on Map the Internet... In One Day? · · Score: 1

    How is it possible to map something that is always changing, and what use is such a map, if it can be created?

    What about the reality that all nodes are no longer created "equal," so to speak?

  6. Re:It's not the medium... on Disney Does Digital, Ditches Drawings · · Score: 1

    The Road to El Diablo? Don't you mean "El Dorado"? It's too early for me to think up a funny way to correct you.

  7. Re:Trailer park trash on Astronauts To Repair Shuttle Tiles With Foam Brush · · Score: 1

    I'd find it funny if I saw a shuttle with an R-Type sticker. Blast off and strike against the evil Bydo empire!

  8. Big Deal on Senator Seeks Restrictions to Music Laws, Fines · · Score: 1

    Why not move to overturn the DMCA itself?

  9. Re:Just great... on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    Understandable. My paragraphing comes and goes. And my clauses take longer to get to the good parts than certain other things named "Clause" do.

    Dreadnougat? You'll have to have them all pulled out, after the Savoy truffle. :-)

  10. Re:Just great... on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    I wasn't entirely serious.

    Seen Bowling for Columbine ?

    I simply made a play on words, with regards to the whole bowling thing. No tinfoil hat involved.

  11. Just great... on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The last thing we need is high school kids building this type of thing. I'd make a joke about Columbine in the context of bowling, but I'm too tired.

  12. P2P != Sharing Illegal Content on Schools to Avoid: University of Florida · · Score: 1

    In my experience, running a P2P program is neither equivalent to running a file server on your computer (unless it's configured in a particularly odd way) nor necessitates sharing illegal content for which the user does not hold the copyright. Furthermore, on high-visibility, high-bandwidth networks such as a major university's LAN, isn't it possible that machines may get infected by some novel virus/worm before there's a widely available countermeasure? And what about students who desire to legally distribute large files to which they DO own the copyright, such as design projects or self-made media, and do so over direct IM, via FTP/DAV, or with e-mail attachments?

  13. Re:worst thing was 2 weeks to get ssh/sendmail fix on Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update, Take Two · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps, if SSH and Sendmail were enabled in a default install, you might have a point.
