  1. Yeah but will they on Apple Announces New iBooks · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Match the price on my Apple //c. I paid $2638 for it with 48KB of RAM.

    And it can be had for about 100 bucks

  2. Not targeting anyone on Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times · · Score: 1
    They should know better. Try to spread something by posting on Slashdot? Better make sure your servers are up to it.

    As of last time I tried to check out the site, the spreading has stopped, i.e. Request timed out

    PRESS ON. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

  6. Virtually Four monitors on A Dual Monitor Experiment · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know how this is news, but I'm not aobut bashing. Anyway, with Nvidias drivers, you can have two monitors running and have another desktop as well - resulting in virtually four monitors. All I do is rotate the mouse clcckwise and the second desktop pops up (though it could be argued that it is similar to Alt-Tab). I'm sure ATI has something similar as well.

  7. Ancient History on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 3, Interesting
    for you 300 BAUDers out there

    I remember when I was working for an Engineering firm, one of the largest in the world at the time (late 90's). They needed to get some drawings out ASAP and the T1 was down, they didn't have an on site admin.

    I saw an old Hayes modem sonnected to a computer that nobody used. Everybody was shocked and amazed when I fired up a terminal and typed in ATDT + the phone number (the guy needing the files had a modem as well - he knew how to use it). LOL. Everybody was trying to figure out out to send the files by courrier, or even pay for a plane ticket for hardcopies.

    Perhaps governments will start requiring Visa's and Passports to "enter" into a server/computer located on a particular country's domain. Excuse my lack of knowledge on the IP addresses, but cant you determine which country by the IP addy?

    What people fail to realise, is that if we had all listened to Bill in the beginning and realised that the internet was not going to get big and thus never "forced" him to destroy netscape, we wouldn't have this problem. ;)

It was *I* who allowed the Alliance to think IE was full of holes, It is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best coders awaits them! Oh, I'm afraid IE Longhorn will be quite operational when your friends arrive.

  13. Yeah but on To Mars and Back in Ninety Days · · Score: 1

    After 20 years of making patches to the road, since nobody want's to do proper repair work to infrastructure, the subsurface will be in great need of repair. Just like in many places in Wash D.C.. This results in a severely warped road, with many potholes that bend and dent your spinning Twenties (Twenty Decimeters). The resulting lack of spin on your rims causes your space shuttle to have to pull over in a bad neighborhood, and you are jacked for your Bling Bling (dilithium crystals)

    Sure, If you like. But that's your crime, not the crime of a company that makes a piece of software. Otherwise, we would have to shut down everything that makes copyright infringement *(Not Stealing)* easy. Like CD burners, Broadband, DVD burners, Ripper Software, VCR's, ad infinitum.

  20. Go with EDTV plain and simple on Cable HDTV Not Ready For Primetime? · · Score: 1
    if you wan't 16x9 and a picture that's damn near as good as HDTV, get one of the EDTV sets (a good one). With HDTV just really starting, you can let the problems work themseves out and then pick up a true HD set when the prices come down further. Plus, normal signals look better (on the EDTV as opposed to the HDTV) due to the lower amount of upscaling required. Hell, then you will probably have 2 TV's for the same price as if you bought a true HD set today.

    I speak from experience, I've got a 42" Panasonic EDTV Plasma and a 30" Sharp - which is a true HD (at least for 720p). I know, one is plasma, the other LCD. Nevertheless, not only do normal signals look better on the Panasonic, but HD as well! The panasonic was cheaper to boot.

  21. Occam's Razor on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1
    The simplest explanation is probably true, or one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.
