  1. Re:Wanted: New Manual Typewriter on Typewriter As Keyboard Mod · · Score: 1

    But if edit it, you have to rewrite an entire page if you must submit it to somebody.

  2. Re:Why should we care? on Linux Passes the Microsoft WGA Test · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wine doesn't even use MS code, so that's why it's kinda interesting.

  3. Wine shows up as Win98 on Linux Passes the Microsoft WGA Test · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Wine (as mentioned in one of the links) shows up as Windows 98 to microsoft, which, as far as I know, isn't even supported anymore. So, I guess since it isn't supported, it won't be validated or not validated and just lets the user pass through as if it was.

  4. Re:AMD Ads on Intel On A Building Spree · · Score: 1

    Jesus, MOD PARRENT DOWN. What does this have to do with Intel at ALL?

  5. Re:An idea... on What is Mainframe Culture? · · Score: 1

    Read your parrent. He uses the guis for design, and the coding side for actual function. And since when are PHP, ASP or JSP or even HTML not languages? I think you're thinking of frontpage, which blows ass for any sort of programming or designing

  6. Re:Creativity may come from within on Managing for Creativity · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Programming isn't creative? Writing code is all about thinking outside the box, how can you solve x problem?

  7. Ubuntu on Time for a Linux Consolidation? · · Score: 1

    I think Ubuntu is doing a great job of consolidation, current updates and ease of use. I really wouldn't be surprised if it became the linux distro for the non-techie.

  8. Re:When do we see ads? on Google Maps for Boingo -- And Any Page · · Score: 1

    Google is a geek company, they understand the slashdot effect.

  10. Re:What about Peltier coolers? on How to Keep Your Computer Cool · · Score: 1

    Yep Pelters create tons of heat, and need an external power supply to work, which is why they aren't touched much. Been hearing about them more recently though.

  11. Re:Color vs. battery on Apple Replaces B/W White iPods with Color Screens · · Score: 1

    I doubt it. They base those run times on setting a continuous playlist and then see where it dies, and then average it for the life of the pod. The screen after a few seconds of starting the playlist in both ipod color and b/w are just changing a few pixes a second (song title and track position), hardly costing anything in terms of battery life. No backlight is being used, and no songs played that have not been pre-buffered (no fast hard drive spins)

  12. The people's car... on Stanford and Volkswagen Create Autonomous Vehicle · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...without people! Gotta love that.

  14. Re:Wow on Autonomous Model Glider Flies from 60,000 Feet · · Score: -1

    Gliders do not rely on propulsion to fly, where 747s do. If an engine or two fails, you're fucked.

  15. Re:HAW AOL LMFAOSDF on AOL Plans A Standalone Browser · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Wait wait wait, superior and ie shell in the same sentence. I think not...

  16. Nanites on The Internet Meets the Neural Net · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Inherit the Earth by Brian Stableford had a very interesting play on this idea. Instead of creating direct neural interfaces (serial ports in your brain) why not use nanites? By allowing such nanites to create electrical pulses on/in your brain, it could be easily "confused" into thinking some sense was being triggered. That's what I'm waiting for...

  17. Re:My Family Videos on Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video? · · Score: 0

    Ah, the perfect thing to blackmail your son with. I can see it now... Ben: Dad, I'm sorry I threw a kegger at your house while you were gone and the place got all F'ed up. Dad: Well son, you knew what would happen if you did something like this... Ben: Dad, please, I'd rather you come to school in only your tightie whities than that, please don't. Dad: Sorry son, but you knew what would happen, I'm going to go make a copy to give to your school for you senior video, and one for your girlfriend...

  18. Re:HD Recording a must on Computer Gaming PCs Try To Stack Up To Consoles · · Score: 0

    Yes, and thats because Dell Media PCs suck. Why not be a better friend next time and build a media pc for him. Projectors are sub-$1000 for decent ones, and $2k will get you something much better than a tv. Spend another 2k on a quiet case/cpu and a couple 200gig computers. An AIW for the output (or if the projector takes a standard montior cable, use an onboard nforce video setup), and one of those new HD tuner cards. Now he has $1000 for movies and shit. Geeks don't let non-geeks get dells...

    I think he's talking about the lack of size that CF players currently have.
