  1. broken link or something? on Dave Taylor Interview · · Score: 1

    Is there any reason why I get nothing but a
    blank window when I clink on http://www.ga-source.com/interviews/ddt.shtml

    ?

  2. EMF protection for a wooded pc chassis on Ask Slashdot: Wooden Chasis and EMF · · Score: 1

    First of all , there are three "S"s in CHASSIS.

    And secondly, you are all thinking too
    complicatedly (sic), just take some metal mesh
    (screen door?) and staple it to the insides of
    the wooden computer case. And yer it is a
    faraday cage, and yes it keeps emf out and yes
    it keeps emf in. I should know this crap, I have
    a degree in physics.

  3. Wanted FPGA pci card and linux drivers for ..... on A $1000 Supercomputer? · · Score: 1

    Wanted FPGA pci card and linux drivers for
    RC5 cracking, MPEG2/3 compression, glquake3
    playing , 3D graphics ........

  4. Re:ebay's troubles... on The root of all eBay's troubles · · Score: 1

    But slashdot usually has a mirror site somewhere...

    Maybe they should take a look at how Slashdot orgainzes itself (or re-organizes itself)....

    Anonymous Coward said:"i'm not really sure what you mean by this? everytime slashdot goes through a few minor changes it always goes down repeatedly over the course of a few days as the bugs are worked out. i would certainly hope that a professional site would try to be much more reliable than slashdot."

  5. ebay's troubles... on The root of all eBay's troubles · · Score: 1

    Well, I noticed they started crashing (repeatedly)
    right after they changed the lay-out of their
    pages. Maybe they should take a look at how
    Slashdot orgainzes itself (or re-organizes itself)....

    Anyhow I am mildly annoyed, I'm in the middle of
    an auction. Rather Reminds me of the UO beta...

  6. Re:Continuity problems... on Review:Star Wars:The Phantom Menance · · Score: 1

    No, he didn't get cut in the pod race, because
    the pod race was after the scene when the blood is analysed. There were rumours that Qui-gon first
    notices the force in Anikin after Anikin gets in a
    fight with a young Rodian (greedo type). I'm
    thinking that the scene where Anikin got cut is
    on the cutting room floor.

  7. Continuity problems... on Review:Star Wars:The Phantom Menance · · Score: 1

    How did Anikin get that cut , the one that Qui-Gon
    sneeked a blood sample from?

    Also, if Darth Maul is evil (eeee-vil) , why didn't he fight dirty?

  8. star wars ... on Review:Star Wars:The Phantom Menance · · Score: 1

    Tis a true pity that the only character in the
    movie who was instantly recognizable, in terms of
    classic myths (ie Obi-Wan==Merlin,Leia==Damsel in
    Distress...) was jar jar drinks (too much) as the
    useless sidekick. Oh and whats happens with C3P0?
    The kid could have brought him along....

  9. There's one ...Set Blasters on stun on Phasers, Tasers and Stun Guns, oh my! · · Score: 2

    If I understand the physics correctly, the
    only safe people would be the ones where the
    aluminium foil hats and underwear.... ( and
    everywhere else as well)

  10. Star Wars and DVD , Which Version? on Assorted Star Wars Tidbits · · Score: 0

    Which Version of Star Wars? The ORIGINAL version,
    or the special edition one with all the cutesy
    crap? I really hope that Both will be available
    because I don't want to have to watch all the SE
    crap to watch Star Wars on DVD.

  11. Anyone have a video encoder? on Star Wars TV Commercials · · Score: 1

    If there is someone out there who can convert/
    encode a 30fps 8bit stereo AVI
    of rather LARGE (650meg) size to mpeg
    or quicktime? I have a recording of
    the Duel of the Fates Video that I video
    captured last night. My server cannot
    handle large amounts of traffic so I would
    rather just send the link to one person who
    could compress it and spread the joy. If
    it's even possible that is.
    email me at msimmons@uvic.ca

  12. Star Wars:TPM commercials and Video on Star Wars TV Commercials · · Score: 2

    The four commercials are really quite nice to watch, but I must say the soundtrack Video was
    stunning. It was a mixture of Trailer A voices
    ("hate leads to suffering.."), the Duel of the
    Fates music track, and scenes from every bit of
    video yet released, the trailers, the "Lynn's
    Journal" videos, scenes of the orchestra and
    choir and new bits. I am so skipping work May
    19th....

  13. tres cool... on Linux Microcontroller Board · · Score: 1

    ..turn an old 30-pin simm memory expansion board
    into a parallel processor...
