    Um, well PayPal has a BillPay thing. and there are many online solutions to paying bills other than PayPal. Use it.

  2. Re:some spending money on Monkeys Pay for Monkey Porn · · Score: 0, Troll

    They're referring to the professors. The students use Kazaa, GNUTella, and other P2P networks. The professors are far too dignified to get their porn through such "dirty" means.

    This should cut down on pollution too, cause nobody will want to drive their car...

    http://www.batmax.com/products-laptop.php They have one for a laptop... but according to its features list, it only increases my talk time by 30%... i don't use my laptop for talking... what about my gaming time damnit!

    IANAP (I am not a physicist)

    Ok, but are you a chemist, or an electrical engineer? those would know more about this than a physicist... as it deals with electromagnetic waves generated by the battery (which is pure crap from an eletrical standpoint), and it deals with interactions with the electrolytes (a chemistry thing).

    It IS Cog (abbrev. for cognitive or cognition_, but its not COG (acronym for Center Or Gravity). See the capitalization difference?

    No, I think he's trying to express his false belief that Americans are Scientific.

    As far as I know, we don't have any problems with memory storage in AI... its the immensely fast and optimized fuzzy-logic and pattern matching our brains do that eludes AI developers.

    I think you have SUN confused with SCO... Oh wait, that was a legal storm... ignore me.

  15. Re:Tux Racer on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 1

    TuxRacer uses the RENDER extension alot, for the non 3D effects especially (such as the snow). Or at least I think it does... enabling RenderAccel in my XF86Config boosted performance incredibly.

  16. Re:Wintendo? on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 1

    As i said in a reply earlier, Wintendo is not meant to be derogatory. It simply means "Windows Gamers". See, people are so used to the OpenSource community bashing Windows and its users, they think EVERY "nickname" or "alias" is derogatory. This is not good.

  17. Re:Tux Racer on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 1

    Make sure you have the "RenderAccel" variable enabled in your XF86Config file. Also, make sure u have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I have an nVidia MX440 64MB, and TuxRacer runs better on Linux than Windows. Also, is your AMD 3.2Ghz a 32-bit or 64-bit? The 2.6 kernel, as well as I believe the linux nVidia driver, has performance issues when running in 64-bit mode.

  18. Re:Thats all well and good on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 1

    This should not be rated troll, but instead be rated Interesting and Informative. Please change your moderations accordingly. Thank you.

  19. Re:Wintendo people? on Linux Live Gaming Project · · Score: 1

    Wintendo simply means Windows Gamer. It is not used or meant to be seen as derogatory.

    Oh, you mean like linux with nVidia drivers with XRender acceleration turned on? Ya, that'd be cool to have on windows too.

  23. Mp3's on Breakthrough In JPEG Compression · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this can be applied to MP3's.

  24. Re:Fractal image format on Breakthrough In JPEG Compression · · Score: 1

    They aren't trying to compress an image though, so messing with the image compression algorithim is useless. Instead, they're trying to compress the compressed data. So improving the image algorithim is pointless.

  25. Re:Multiple Remotes on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 1

    You should try encoding all of your stuff in a lossless format, like Apple's lossless AAC. The box should be able to handle the lossless AAC, so then u have compressed lossless. ;-p
