  1. May I suggest on Cringely: Wi-Fi in the Sky · · Score: 1

    Making a cantenna using a pringles can and a 1/4 wavelength helical antenna, mounted on an old DirecTV or DISH Network satellite dish. Thats what I do to get WIFI from the city on the other side of the island I'm on... i get 10+ miles range O.O. (Linksys WAP11 accesspoints)

  4. I have a feeling on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 1, Redundant

    that MS doesnt care about security, only publicity. They don't care until it affects their marketshare, THEN they fix it.

    Everyone switch to Linux! Then MS will fix Windows!

  5. Hehe on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 0

    Looks like the governments statement got MS to get off their lazy butts and fix something.

  6. So... on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that I could sit in my living room and get 3d pics of my neighbor showering? and what else will this penetrate? clothing? suitcases? While I see the uses in law enforcement and security, its use should be semi-regulated. Also, could this mean better systems than x-rays @ places like airports? Tinfoil won't work anymore :-p

    and what you all fail to realize is that he /wants/ to get rammed. Hence all the bad litigation and illegal use of the justice system... he wants to go to prison. Don't drop the soap everyone!

    You're right! Now lets stop shipping people with unique ID's, its not the government's business who i am!

  11. Re:RIAA Criminally At Fault? on RIAA Dumps Unsold Inventory to Settle Anti-Trust Case · · Score: 1

    Hey man, I was homeschooled until just a little bit ago. I'm not socially inept. As a matter of fact I was voted "Most Socially Outgoing" and "Most Likeable Personality" at the highschool I now attend. So please don't make generalized statements about homeschooled people. What you say is true about some, but it depends on the parents who school them and their intentions with homeschooling.

  13. Re:why not on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 1

    Good Idea, but then it wouldn't be dynamically generated. It would end up being static and shared over bittorrent

  14. Re:Or... on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll be posting it to my server soon, it'll let you select which version you want (SuSE 8.2-9.1) and dynamically create the ISOs right there. It takes some time, my server only gets around 3 Megabytes/sec off of the mirrors... but it'll generate a custom ISO right then and there for you to download (my server serves it to you at a max of 750KB/sec)

  15. Re:Can we legally copy this? on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 1

    Since all the software available on the website is available for free download, and its all GPL, yes it is. As well as people have previously asked SuSE and they've said yes as long as you don't distribute for profit.

  16. Or... on SUSE 9.1 Personal ISO Available For Free Download · · Score: 4, Interesting

    About a year and a half ago I wrote a script to parse the file list on the SuSE FTP server, find which files go on which CDs, download them, and create ISOs, then using the boot section off of their network install CD make the first one bootable. Full SuSE professional (commercial parts missing) for free! All on CDs!

    But scaling doesn't always provide the same product as designing the website for the proper resolutions

  18. Re:vs. Opera on Thunderbird 0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    This is most probably because Firefox and Thunderbird are compiled with debug, so things take a little longer, particular when rendering a page.

  19. Re:Greatness! on Mesh Compression for 3D Graphics · · Score: 1

    I believe he means to say: I can't wait to have this. I want to get great compression too. I ak: can i use this for games? Unreal Tournament 2004 is good. ...cant figure that one out.... Is this technology fast enough for games?

  20. Re:This has been around for many years. on Mesh Compression for 3D Graphics · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between 2d vector graphics and 3d vector graphics. 2d is much simpler and doesnt require the, well.... 3d dimension. the 3d dimension adds a whole nother level of complexity, which therefore makes the possible permutations much higher (a whole exponent higher), meaning it requires a much more complex compression algorithim.

  22. Re:vs. Opera on Thunderbird 0.7 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    Opera, AFAIK, is not open-source. Firefox and Thunderbird are. Firefox and Thunderbird IMO are more stable and have more/easier to use features. Also, they look better. And in some cases are faster than Opera. Go try them out, they won't bite :-p
