  1. Re:OSS? on HP & Commodity Computing · · Score: 1

    Kind of specialized, in that it is for POV-Ray, but IMP tries to acheive some of this.

  2. Re:gpl2 on GPL Revision Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    for clarity, i mean if you are developing something.

    you obviously can't use GPL2 if the software was shipped with GPL3.

  3. gpl2 on GPL Revision Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    A good thing is, no one says you can't stick to the current GPL if you want to (in the case that they really mess something up on GPL3)

    Here's hoping Moglen can make some sense out of it all.

  4. Re:Great Tool on A Complete Guide to Pivot Tables · · Score: 1

    Query your sql data, put a pivottable on that sheet, and you've amazed the highest of corporate bosses. I live by this thing.


    I'm sorry. I don't exist, goddamnit, to amaze my corporate bosses... uh just as second, boss wants to talk to me.

    DAMNIT. Apprently I do exist for that purpose and that purpose only. And I've just been fired.

  5. Re:"Method for storing important documents in tras on Public Interest Groups Face Uphill Battle at WIPO Meeting · · Score: 1

    Nope! They used a different method and I hear they patented it first. "Method for compressing and storing important documents in the trash". That is, they crumpled up the papers first.

  6. Duckhunt on Internet Hunting · · Score: 1

    For chrissake, this is a dumb idea. Give them an NES, the little plastic gun, and a copy of Duckhunt. Much more safe.

    Best. Game. Evar.

    make that 3.

    watched the Afghan documentary afterwards as well.

  8. Re:Is it worth it? on Reviews Arrive For nVidia GeForce 6600GT AGP · · Score: 1

    I play warcraft3 on an ATI Rage Mobility M1. Sure, the settings are all on low. But it's playable, and still fun. I don't play online or anything though. aaaanyway....

    I'm about to build a new computer, and the best graphics card isn't a neccesity, but it's in the top 3 or 4 things. I'd like something that I don't have to replace for a few years. In the past, i've upgraded RAM and video cards before upgrading CPU and mobo. It seems to keep the cycle less painfull.

    I was thinking about PCIe since i didn't know when the AGP version of 6600 would be out. Maybe I'll build the system with a cheapo vid card, or use a mobo with onboard video until this comes out and the price stabalizes. . *shrug*

    TOS Warp or Next Generation Warp?

  10. Re:Guinness Record on Mach 10 X43A Flight Successful · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    By the way (and massively OT), doesn't a "Guinness Record" sound like something you'd like to break yourself, at least if it involved consumption?

    Sure Brain, the truckload of elephants is easy enough, but are we going to get Sir Alec Guinness to wear rubber pants?

    NARF!

    I don't see the issues you are seeing. Firefox 1.0 preview. The site just looks like a centered box with a few dropdowns. then some more text underneath, also centered.

  13. Re:LightBright on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously.. I think LightBright is what made making "Ansi Art" so appealing to me.

  14. anything remote controlled on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    remote control cars. boats too. or a kit for building them. or even just model kits and a model paint set. they are definately a classic.

    add some rechargeable batteries too. I loved having rechargeable batteries as an 8 year old. I thought they were the coolest things :) Sure, 18 years ago rechargeable didn't hold their charge very long in remote control cars, but they were still neat.

  16. Re:I think you meant... on Halo 2 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Close, but that will need a lot of development time and an excuse to push back the release date. Lets make it this:

    yeah, that article says ~88k votes were not counted. Of those ~88k, ~1k were for Bush.

    So not counting ~86k kerry votes is an error in favor of Bush.

  19. Re:meteor defense on US Ready to put Weapons in Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    It doesn't even need to be redirected (depending on size...) just delay it enough so that the earth spins a bit more so it hits one of those Evil(TM) countries instead of our own.

  20. Re:Prediction: The creators get sued anyway on BitTorrent Accounts for 35% of Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not illegal in the U.S., either. Any lawyer worth the paper their degree is printed on should be able to defend such a case without backrupting anyone.

    Sorry, but this anti-U.S. FUD will be a self fullfilling prophecy if you all keep it up. It's not illegal in the U.S., once in a while, a developer might have to bit the bullet and go to court. It's not the end of the world.
