  1. Gaming? on FCC Rules VoIP Must Be Tappable · · Score: 1

    I admit that I am quite ignorant when it comes to VoIP, but what will this entail for games that have this capability? (UT2004, etc)

  2. Re:scripting language on Neverwinter Nights 2 Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    The scripting language was watered down C code. Not that bad, and I bet instead of having to relearn everything, the knowledege gained from scripting in NWN will transfer over to NWN2.

  3. Re:So they want to get rid of shows that inspire on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    Too late, his T.V. show was scrapped as of yesterday. His radio show however lives on.

  4. Re:Ill concieved on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1
    It is illegal for the U.S. to impose it's laws against a Canadian company, even if it is a subsidiary of an American company.

    Thank god! If the government ever tries to block my video cards, it won't work!

  5. Re:My stupidest deaths on Capturing Gaming Feel Not All About Complexity? · · Score: 1

    "Taloliok killed by kicking a wall" Pretty stupid.

  6. Re:Dame baby... on Real Xbox Next Specs Leaked? · · Score: 1

    But eventually the people dedicated to making it work will find a work around. More than likely it will be a way to fake the certification into making the XBox believe it is MS Approved code. It may take time, but it will be worked around.

  7. Re:bad idea man on Thief 3 Deadly Shadows Bug Neuters In-Game AI · · Score: 1

    Or a better idea would be for Microsoft to actually allow the use of modded XBoxes with their enlarged hard drives. Not only could Microsoft potentially make a profit off of people buying "certified XBox hard drives", but they could increase the number of players on XBox Live as well.

  8. Vast knowledge on What Would You Do With a 92 TBps Router? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would download the Library of Congress...

    and then porn.
    On a more serious note, I would very much like to setup my own "Internet Node". No need for me to pay for sattelite internet any more, the internet comes to me!

  9. Re:Ptolemy's back! on Chandra Provides Support For Dark Energy · · Score: 1
    Hello String Theory!

    String theory looks to be a promising candidate in resolving that second problem on your list.
    Here's hoping...

  10. Re:All for it .... but on P-P-P-PowerBook for a S-S-S-Scammer... · · Score: 1

    I believe him, the Middle School I went to (I'm a Junior in High School now) had the very same policy.

    I was friends with a guy who was on the recieving end of a beating in which he did not lift a finger against the other person, yet he was still suspended.

    As for the P-p-p-powerbook, Vigilante Justice!

  11. No compasses on Novell Sued Microsoft Through Caldera? · · Score: 1

    Will the lack of working compasses affect those who fly planes and drive large boats across the ocean?

  12. Re:safety factors? on X-Prize Cup Site Chosen: New Mexico · · Score: 1

    Not only that but aircraft will be allowed to fly over the port while launches are taking place...

  14. Re:I'll be impressed... on Possible First Photo Of Extra-Solar Planet · · Score: 1

    It should if I understood the article. The method they might be using is one where the wavelengths of the light neutralize each other after the combination of the two pictures. I am by no means an expert on the subject, being only a junior in a high school that has little to offer in the science department, but I do take great intrest in these types of things and if I am incorrect, please post how NASA really does do it.

  15. Did anyone see... on E3 Draws Close, Companies Reveal Games Ahead Of Time · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the Phantom console supposed to have a booth? Did anyone see it?

  16. Oooops on A Beginner's Look At GPL Enforceability · · Score: 1

    I forgot to post this in my original post, but Linksys is now offering their code in compliance with GPL. http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp

  17. Technicalities... on A Beginner's Look At GPL Enforceability · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Windows posted Sol.exe under the GPL?!?!

  18. Re:Finally... on Senator Leahy Calls for RFID Technology Hearings · · Score: 1

    Unless of course they move as quickly as the FCC was in supressing radio shows...

  19. Step by Step on NEC Demands License Fees For Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 0, Troll

    1. Claim patent on any and all substances. 2. Follow the model of SCO. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!!

  20. Bugless code!?!? on Intuitive Bug-less Software? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is truly no such thing as bugless software. No matter how well or how stupid proof a program is coded, a user will find some way to do something to it which was not intended. If they keep this up, eventually it will cause something to go wrong in your program.
    Even if, by some miracle, all programs were immune to user errors, there are infinitly many hardware/OS/software combinations that some conflict with code will eventually surface. IMO, this ideal of bugless code is just that, an ideal.

  21. Re:Here's an official current MS quote + more news on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1
    "it would be a matter of intellectual property rights rather than security."

    So, in other words, their OS is so crappy that hackers don't need the source to make nasty virii custom tailored just for it?

  22. Re:My god, haven't the figured it out? on SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    We would lose less from an intelligence standpoint if we sent Darl instead.

  24. Yes on RIAA Takes the Fight to the Streets · · Score: 1
    Quote:
    The RIAA acknowledges it all -- except the notion that its staff presents itself as police. Yes, they may all be ex-P.D. Yes, they wear cop-style clothes and carry official-looking IDs. But if they leave people like Borrayo with the impression that they're actual law enforcement, that's a mistake.

    from the article 9th paragraph.
