  1. Re:Editing? on CeBIT 2005: SLI Shuttle Surfaces · · Score: 1

    Not only that but this is just an ad for hexus.net, just like we had a few weeks ago. Notice who submitted the article?

  2. Warez too! on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to this thread on PearPC.net, he is using a warez'd copy of several programs as well.

  3. Re:ipod on Gameboy Emulation on your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Gameboy Emulator for iPod. It's in progress anyway.

  4. Re:Sounds great on Gameboy Emulation on your MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    That's only crappy old iPaqs and some other models. My Dell Axim (yes, yes, I've turned to the dark side, whatever, I can't help the awsome multi-media features, no, I don't want to start a PocketPC vs. Palm debate), so to continue, my Dell Axim works fine with SNES emulation. And damn is it fun.

  5. Re:Just like Linux on Bill Gates Proclaims US High Schools Obsolete · · Score: 1

    You know, most people who rode the "in 2000 we'll be in flying cars" fad are poor, insane men living in the back woods of West Virginia. But okay. Fair enough.

  6. Re:On a non-related note on Bill Gates Proclaims US High Schools Obsolete · · Score: 1

    http://www.tjhsst.edu - And not to save money, just because we can. We also try to avoid this high school problem of stupid classes and useless teaching. We even have senior technology research projects, on whatever the student is interested in. Better yet the current mood is to try to get rid of some useless (but state required) classes such as a 4th year of history in order to allow students to participate in classes they find useful to themselves.

  7. Interesting idea... on Nintendo Allows Japanese DS Gamers Taste of Wireless · · Score: 1

    Interesting idea, first the demo disk (thanks to new CD technology in recent (mid 90s) consoles), and now the demo download, thanks to new WiFi technologies in the 00s. I wonder how this will pan out. Also, how much memory does the DS have? It's got to be quite a bit to be able to store and play demos, even if they are wiped on system reset.

  8. Porch? on Popcorn-Popper -> Coffee Roaster Mod · · Score: 1

    Pictures below show the computer and roaster set up on my back porch.

    Um.....rain?

  9. Nice... on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As said before, yes, it only seems to work in IE/Firefox (which is a shame). But, it is still easily the best map experience I have ever had. Being able to just type parts of an address into a bar instead of seperate boxes is disorganized, but quick and easy. And the balloon popup for current location is useful. The vector graphics are great, and scale to monitor resolution. I just wish NAVTEQ would add topographic information (for that matter, why does NAVTEQ do everyone's maps?). The zoom scale is much better than others, since it is live and smooth scaling. However, overall, the system doesn't seem like it would transfer to print well. I suppose the only way to find out is to try it.

  10. But... on More Cell Processor Details And First Pictures · · Score: 1

    "first version of the chip will run at speeds faster than 4GHz. Engineers were vague on how much faster" But I thought GHz didn't matter?

  11. Re:Old joke on If The Problem Persists, Reboot The Car · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Scary. I just read that joke today. And it was about a Microsoft programmer. It was a link from a site which was linked from someone's post on the Bill Gates interview posted today on Slashdot. (If you can understand what I just said). Scary. The first thing I thought of when I saw "Reboot the car" was that joke.

    Mmmmm.....Futurama. /me hides his torrents.

  13. Comparison to MMC... on M-Flash, Yet Another Flash Memory Format · · Score: 1

    I find it interesting that C-One compares the size of this card to the MM card. It almsot seems like the death knell is sounding already. MMC died, this has no backing from popular, trusted media manufactures (Pretec....did you ever buy anything made by them? I've never even seen them around here before). I mean, who cares if it's great, if it doesn't have the backing to bring it to the mainstream market? It's going to take one big format endorsed by all media manufactures, all camera makers, and all digital device makers to create a single standard. And for one innovation needs to stop for awhile. How can we possibly agree on a standard if something better comes out in 6 months?

  14. Re:This is great! on MPAA Releases Software For Parents · · Score: 1
  15. Re:What? on Google Trials A9 Style Image Search · · Score: 1

    Google Suggest, take a look at the logo, although it won't display for me any longer.

  16. Well... on Google Trials A9 Style Image Search · · Score: 1

    Well Google Print may trump A9, but how does a dinky little 3 images at the top do much of anything? I mean I could have clicked the "Images" link before and gotten the same thing. In my opinion, nothing has changed in the image department. Google Print does look nice though, although it is at a different angle than A9's system, so I don't think it's completely redundant.

  17. On the Microsoft front... on Are Extensible Programming Languages Coming? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is implementing an XML based language into Longhorn. I forgot what it is called though, but I can assure you it exists. I find it kinda funky myself, but maybe it works.

  18. Re:Aha! on Morse Code Used by Human Cells? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's prior art! Kill the patent!

  19. Re:Solutions: on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    Sure, I'll do that. Just give me a monitor with 18 of those ports and also has an included keyboard and mouse which magically forwards through the VGA and DVI ports. None of these people are talking about 2 machines here, they are talking about large scale setups...

  20. Solutions: on Laptops, Headless Servers and KVMs? · · Score: 1

    Solutions:
    1) Invent a wireless KVM or
    2) Make really long cables

    We have two KVMs daisy-chained with 18 or so machines on them. Works fine. So just scale that up by making it wireless. Sit comfortably in one spot, and go!

  21. Re:Yet another desktop search tool on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hmmm...I assume you mean Windows? Well Windows has a picture editing program, but I don't see you using that do I? Competition == good, almost always. If the search companies want to compete with MS, more power to them. If MS wants to sit back and let the search engines compete, more power to them. In the end a better product will result. You already install your new picture editor when you install Windows, so why not install your new search too? (Oh, and a note: MS is not sitting back. They own MSN after all.)

    My first thought? FREE INTERNET!

  23. Re:How about... on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I don't think that is the point. I think he is pointing out that spelling "Windows" as "Windose" does not make you more credible in a Linux crowd.

  25. It's still expensive here... on UK Retailers Dumping Gamecube? · · Score: 1

    It's still 79.99 when I checked online, and that is ~$150 here in America. I can pick them up for $100. So, number one, why are they more expensive in the UK, and number two, why did the price go back up?
