  1. CES on MPlayer Alleges KISS Technology Violating GPL · · Score: 1

    According to their site they will be at the CES in Las Vegas from the 8th until the 11th of January. Just take this evidence, go to their booth and have a chat.

  2. Re:What? on India Plans Hypersonic Space Plane by 2007 · · Score: 1

    India is rather unlikely to attack Iraq because of Iraqs WMDs which would demand such long range capabilities. Their possible enemies tend to border with them.

  3. good ole days on Pushing P4 to 5.25GHz with Liquid Nitrogen · · Score: 4, Interesting

    reading things like these I'm reminded of the good old days where all you had to do was getting two 333MHz celerons, overclock them to 500MHz by upping the FSB, some socket-to-slot adaptors and *baddabing* you had a total of 1GHz for a bargain while using normals coolers. Was that only 3 or 4 years ago? *sigh*

  4. ze germans on Shuttle Fleet Upgraded · · Score: 1

    say what you want, but NASA went downhill when all the "loot" ww2 german technicians, engineers and scientists retired after decades of working for NASA. While they tinkered away NASA reached the moon. Since they are gone some brick shaped shuttle flies around in earths orbit, blows up at times and doesn't get further, well, doesn't even get close to where humans have been decades ago.

  5. beta on Computers Paraphrase English · · Score: 0, Redundant

    it's already being betatested on slashdot, one of the main bugs is that the scripts post the same news multiple times, just paraphrased slightly differently. Did you really believe humans are able to make such an amount of doubleposts? please. be realistic...

  9. so? on More E-Voting SNAFUs · · Score: 1

    That one guy may as well be there to secure the system (granted, he in that case did a shitty job so far) but aas far as I'm concerned in dubio pro reo is still valid.

  11. tomorrows weather, 20 and sunny. on Global Dimming · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We can thus conclude that we know nothing. Weather patterns haven't been recorded for a long enough time to make any valid long time prediction of such things as global warming or freezing. Once they manage to consistently predict tomorrows weather successfully they may go onwards and claim they have a clue how the weather will be 100 years from now. For those screaming "Kyoto!" etc: yes, reducing pollution is good and should be something to strive for for every somewhat intelligent human being, but I wouldn't draw a conclusion about global warming from what was presented yet.

  12. Re:minimum temperature on Doomsday PC-Cooling With Dual-Cascade Coolers · · Score: 1

    You need a lot of liquid nitrogen for it to have any kind of effect. The temperature difference between the liquid nitrogen and your finger results in the liquid which comes even close to your finger to evaporize. you get a layer of gas around your finger which keeps the liquid of - for a while. and even afterwards once the actual liquid touches you the effect is that of a medium severe frostbite. To actually deepfreeze your finger it takes a damn lot. trust me, ew played around with that stuff in the lab all the time freezing backpacks to the ground, splashing that over others labcoats and whatnot. It really isn't as dangerous as bad scifi movies want you to believe.

    You might know, but after reading the +5 replies before I posted the above I could conclude that neither those "important" commentators nor the moderators do.

  15. Tron, The Most Popular OS in the World on Japanese Pocket-Size PC Cube Demonstrated · · Score: 5, Interesting
    It's running tron judging by the screenshots.

    What is the world's most widely used operating system? It's not Windows , Unix or Linux, but ITRON, a Japanese real-time kernel for small-scale embedded systems. ITRON runs on mobile phones , digital cameras, CD players and countless other electronic devices.

    ITRON emerged as an ambitious Japanese initiative known as The Real-time Operating system Nucleus (TRON). Launched in 1984, TRON was designed to replace disparate computer systems with a unified, open architecture for a "total computer environment."

    [...]

    The ITRON specification is a standard real-time OS kernel that can be tailored to any embedded system. ITRON already has been ported to a wide range of microprocessor architectures and has quickly become Japan's de facto standard for embedded systems. Today, the specification is used in an estimated 3 billion microprocessors.

  16. PSU on Japanese Pocket-Size PC Cube Demonstrated · · Score: 0

    Nice, but now big is the powersupply going to be? I found that most "tiny" PCs out there often come with an external PSU not much smaller than the PC itself, making the device essentially worthless as something you can stick in your pocket or glue under your desk with a used chewinggum.

  17. Transrapid on Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train · · Score: 0

    Shanghai, China's largest city, is gearing up to launch the world's first commercial maglev train, which uses electromagnetic levitation to carry passengers as speeds of up to 430 kmh. The 30-km (18-mile) maglev line, built using German technology from Transrapid International at a cost of more than $1.2 billion, is launching sometime in summer 2003. It enables passengers to travel from Shanghai's financial district to its international airport in about eight minutes. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,57163, 00.html

  22. BSD on Linux: the GPL and Binary Modules · · Score: 0

    An argument in more than 300 comments by now is the cause for me to prefer the BSD license which does not tend to have so many grey areas which need about as much interpretation as some religious text which is a couple of thousand years old. Keep it simple, use the BSD license.

  23. Re:I think my form of encryption is better on RSA-576 Factored · · Score: 0

    OTPs can be cracked and have been due to the source of the "random" numbers not being random enough. A truly chaotic source of numbers isn't as easy to come by as it appears to be. Which is why you want to keep messages brief to not give out a pattern when the not-so-randomness strikes again. Yet in general most won't bother with intercepting and trying to decode the message as it's always easier to get a hold of the decoded message instead.

  24. ClearType license as well on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 0
    What is in my opinion more important is that they want licensing fees for ClearType as well

    http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/tech/cleartype. asp
