  1. Re:NOT a documentary on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 1

    People people people! Get your definitions straight. A documentary in film-speak is the style of the film. The genre. Much like horror, action, thriller. So let's get off of it, eh? Maybe focus on something more relevant?

  2. Hey! on Use an iPod Mini to Broadcast Pirate Radio · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ever want to silence the urban assault vehicle beside you at the stop light, pounding out gangster angst at orthodontia-rattling volumes?

    What if I am that guy?

  3. What? on What A Portable Media Center Might Look Like · · Score: 1

  4. Actually.... on Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine · · Score: 1
    A search for MS isn't much better:
    Results 1-15 containing "microsoft"
    And that took quite a while.

    Google search:
    Results 1 - 10 of about 102,000,000 for microsoft [definition]. (0.09 seconds)


    Nice try, MS. Oh, and by the way, we never said you had to scrap ads entirely. I don't mind Google's adds at all. They're relevant and unobtrusive. But you know, those who can't innovate, immitate.

    Their website must be made to only be viewed on their moniter, because I'm not seeing anything on mine.

    You just wait, mister, until enough people start using Lynx. Then they'll start coding malware for Lynx. Just think! Pop-ups, Homepage changing... You might even get browser-hijacked to porn sights!

  8. Re:Been done... on Design Wanted For Antarctic Base · · Score: 1

    No, I think you're thinking of The Day After Tomorrow, which was not a mere movie, but a documentary in real-time. Jeez, get your facts straight.

  9. Re:Do not screw with private property on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Personally, when I'm sitting at a train, for instance, I enjoy being entertained with the mobile graph-art museum.

    Should it be legal? No. But it's one of those crimes that would be better dealt with on a case by case basis.

  10. Here's a Copy 'n Paste: on Build Your Own FreeBSD-powered Motorcycle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I grabbed it seconds before it went down. Here's a copy 'n paste of the technical specs for the computer:

    Technical:
    Wait you said it ran UNIX, what exactly did you mean?!
    The PC itself runs FreeBSD 5.2.1, the best operating system in the world, let the flames begin.
    Custom modifications made to it:
    /etc/rc: Added fsck -y before mount/check filesystem line. This ensures no 'unable to fsck press enter' problems.
    /etc/fstab: Added 'sync' option to / FS. Causes all writes to be unbuffered. Helps prevent video loss from a power failure.
    /etc/rc.local: Contains two lines: kldload bktr, this loads the Brooktree driver that the PCI capture card uses
    streamer -o mjpeg.avi -f mjpeg -i Television -t 3:00:00, this program is part of XawTV and is what records the video off the camera/capture card to disk
    More info on the Brooktree driver which comes installed by default.

    Parts:
    Shuttle SV24 Flex-ATX motherboard
    256MB RAM
    1Ghz P3 Coppermine CPU
    PW-200 DC PSU
    ITPS voltage regulator/ignition integrator 40GB HD
    ATX extender cable
    Brooktree based capture card(I believe this one was made by AverMedia, didn't come with docs)
    Sun Camera
    The Capture card and Camera came from the best surplus store known to man WeirdStuff. If you live in the Bay Area, they are a great place to visit.
    Extra Bright LEDs for checking HD and Power status, in the sun.
    Jumper connectors to plug cat5 cable into reset button/hddled/pwled on motherboard
    I buy all my electronics parts from the coolest parts store in the world HSC

    Cables:
    Long RCA for camera
    Long cat5, runs LED and reset button leads up to dash
    Cat5 for ethernet to download video
    Garmin GPS V cable, to log GPS routes on the PC
    ATX extender cable, needed to put the DC PSU somewhere other than directly attached to the board

  15. Burn to CD on How To Avoid Viruses At Windows Install Time? · · Score: 1

    One way I can think of off the top of my head is to get the updates through a source other than Windows Update (I just d/l'd XP's SP2 RC2 on Bit Torrent) via Linux, or a patched Win box. While you're at it, download Norton's latest virus definitions. Then just burn them to a CD, or use a USB drive. This could work if the problem occurs while going online unpatched.

    You should probably also talk to your provider. They should be blocking certain ports that are known to be used by worms and trojans.

  16. Re:Why so many distros? on Skolelinux Project Releases Version 1.0 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I personally like linux alot. But why make so many distros?

    Linus' idea behind Linux was that OSs should be like cars: The more the marrier. Would you really enjoy living in a world where Red Hat or Novell is the only Linux distributor? Choice is key.

  18. Go to the Balkans on Networking in the Danger Zone? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I recently got back from Kosovo (though I was there with the Army, not a contractor unfortunately). It's safe enough to hang out in town during the days, and the pay is still pretty good. It was rumored that some Brown & Root employees were making $80k for sitting in a watch tower. I'm sure IT guys would bank better than that.

    As far as the Middle East, I think you could remain pretty safe if you just kept to yourself and didn't do too much playing around outside of the base.

    On a related note, I would like to see a comparison of the daily murder rate in Iraq compared to the daily murder rate for an inner-city such as, oh, let's say Detroit. Granted, beheading is a bit worse than a drive-by, but it's not like it's an every-day thing.

  19. Damn Mascot on Microsoft Word 5.1: The Apex of Word Processing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Even if Word were the best program around for text editing, I'd still refuse to go near it if I saw Clippy smiling at me. I have nightmares about that damn thing trying to help me. Make it stop! Make it stop!

  21. Re:Anthem / Midi? on The Sound of Your Firewall · · Score: 1, Interesting

    A company did something similar to this. Rather than sound, it was a different color of light. It worked off of radio waves and was available in most mid to large sized cities. You'd program it what stock to watch, and if it was up, the color would be say, green. I'm sure it's still around, but I can't be bothered to hunt for it. Thinkgeek might carry it.

  23. Re:Problems with this on 200mbps DSL On Its Way? · · Score: 0

    With 200 Mbps, maybe we could at least get our full 1.5 Mbps out of it.

    I find it ironic that we are forced to pay for this alleged bandwidth only to find less-than-thrilling throughput.
