  1. Re:The Linux Middle Click on Top 5 Submerging Technologies Pinpointed · · Score: 1

    Turn off your middle mouse button?

  2. Re:Not bad... on Where's Sanford Wallace Now? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Which statute of limitations? The one for the legal system, or the one for vigilante justice?

  3. Re:wow on Windows Drivers Under Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    ATAPI (the protocol IDE CD-RW drives speak), is SCSI commands sent over an IDE interface. Think "code re-use".

  4. Re:Quick... on Text Mining the Multiverse · · Score: 1

    Since when has "prior art" stopped someone from filing for and recieving a software patent?

  5. Re:fanning the flames... on Advances in Fire and Rescue Technology? · · Score: 1

    Fireplaces are good for localized heat, particularly if you use a duct and fan to move the heated air to a part of the house away from the fireplace. They're also good for radiative heating, which isn't affected by air movement.

  6. Re:Don't celebrate yet... on Anti-Spammers Win Major Court Battle · · Score: 1

    They won't appeal -- the suit was dismissed at the request of the plaintiff, when his backers realized that going through with it would involve having to reveal things like their names and corporate information.

  7. EULA? on Silicon Artwork · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if current systems have a similar EULA?

  8. Re:One Possible Partial Answer on Trusted Computing · · Score: 1

    I saw an article on a security site a while back detailing how this could be extended to TCP as well.

  9. Re:information blackout on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 1

    They didn't want to be embarrassed if the rocket blew up on launch.

    It's about damned time!

  11. Re:What tools can be used to bech Linux period? on 64-bit Toys for Athlon-64? · · Score: 1

    The standard Linux benchmark is to time how long it takes to compile the kernel. Another benchmark I know of for Linux is the POV-Ray benchmark scene.

  12. Re:as for illegit uses.. on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    Local transfers are cheap, until you realize you need to re-wire the 100 year old dorms for gigabit.

  13. Re:Controlled? I beg to differ on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    Since every transaction is logged, they just need to look for students who are transferring large amounts of data.

  14. Gateways? on Universities Developing Internal, Controlled P2P System · · Score: 1

    Bets on how long until someone puts together a "gateway" program to connect this network to an outside p2p network?

  15. Re:The iPod tastes like fluffy caramel. on iPods are for Audiophiles · · Score: 1

    Uhm...generally this stuff is backed by data. What you really meant was "...backed by data that comes from your instruments", with an implicit assumption that anything that you don't have instruments to measure cannot be valid.

    For things that cannot be measured by instruments, there are techniques such as double-blind testing or statistical analysis that can be used to make meaningful measurements.

  17. Re:"Soon to be in prototype" on Clearspeed Makes Tall Claims for Future Chip · · Score: 1

    I have, but it's a damned expensive abacus!

  18. Overinflated claims? on Clearspeed Makes Tall Claims for Future Chip · · Score: 1

    From their press release:
    ClearSpeed Technology, a leading provider of high performance, low power chip-based solutions, today announced the ClearSpeed CS301, a multi-threaded array processor that enables dramatic improvements in performance and power consumption for intensive floating point applications.

    But what are these other "high-performance, low-power solutions"? Looking at their web site, the CS301 is the company's only product.

  19. Re:Pretty good but not amazing..... on Clearspeed Makes Tall Claims for Future Chip · · Score: 1

    And modern desktop CPUs are what -- 3-6 Gflops for 80+ watts?

  20. Re:Who needs that much speed anyway? on Clearspeed Makes Tall Claims for Future Chip · · Score: 1

    No, it isn't real until someone's started the Linux port.

  21. Re:Who pays me... on Telemarketers to Target Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    At least in the US, you don't pay for incoming calls on a land line. You do pay for incoming calls on a cell phone.

  22. Re:Oh yeah, I had one on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    True C64ers know what the ";" did at the end of line 10.

    Wouldn't it look better if there was a space after the "YOU"?

  23. Re:Hell yeah. 8Bit programming rocks it out. on C-64 Diehards Relive History · · Score: 1

    Development work can be done on an emulator, but you need to run the finished product on the real hardware.

    Gamecube, PSO, Xbox, what's the difference? They're all computers.

  25. Gamecube viruses? on New GameCube Network Loader Runs Homebrew Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thinking further on this: This is a security hole that allows remote execution of code on the affected machine. Sure sounds like what's needed to write a worm!

    Any bets on how long it'll be until the first ones show up?
