  1. Allow me to say... on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 1

    Damn!

  2. Good point... on Novell Sued Microsoft Through Caldera? · · Score: 5, Informative
    From fool.com

    Knowledgeable IP litigators have told me they think SCO has less than a 10% chance of prevailing in its cases, and even then, the courts' remedies would likely be a rewrite of the offending Linux code, not a cash windfall for SCO. BayStar Capital can afford to bet against the odds and lose. SCO cannot.
    also SCO stock has an analyst rate of 5.0, strong sell. Actually it cannot be bigger than 5.0, so that can be loosely translated as jump ship.

    Is it the end though? I doubt...

    ...you were reading that infamous pickle thread from FARK.

    Not safe for your stomach and work, btw.

  6. Under pressure on Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet · · Score: 1

    As long as a (liquid, gas, whatever) is pressurized the boiling point siginifically increases. I assume it CAN be used as a coolant in pressurized environments.

    Of course, it means that if you drop your laptop the whole thing could explode.

  7. Re:Why not go all out? on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 1

    You know, there IS a joke somewhere. Come on guys, a Ford Explorer and an iPod MINI? Overcompensation meets small-but-huge.

  8. Where is the OE6 version? on A New Type Of Realtime Blocklist: The SURBL · · Score: 1

    I want a XP version so I can install on my windoze box -- Joe 12 pack

    Seriously, anything that has to be on the MTA has to be implemented by the ISP in general -duh!- and is technically impraticable for the even experienced user. And most of the humongous ISPs won't listen to a bunch of nerds (sarcasm) trying to get the latest gimmicks installed on their servers.

    I've seen different and creative things like Cloudmark's Spamnet and maybe if someone should take their initiative and release a FOSS alternative...

    Spam IS an annoyance and waste of bandwidth/time/money but when the medicine for it is just too hard or to expensive to implement it won't fly.

    What ever happened to Bayesian Noise Reduction/Dobly algorythms? I was hoping for these to get more known and widespread...

    snip snip from their page

    Feb 24: We broke 99.984% today and caught up with CRM114 =). DSPAM is now around ten times more accurate than a human. According to a study by Bill Yerazunis (CRM114), a correspondence secretary is approximately 99.84% accurate at filtering spam. As of today, DSPAM has classified 3140 spams and 3457 nonspams in my mailbox with only 1 false accept and 1 false reject. The false accept was caused by a bug in the BNR code which was fixed, so depending on how you count it, I am getting either 99.968% or 99.984% accuracy. These are from real mailbox statistics, and not based on some 'test corpus' mail sent in. As spammers continue to try and evade filters, statistical filters such as DSPAM continue to adapt easily maintaining their high levels of accuracy.

    And no, I am not posting an URL. If you want to get to the page, google for "Dobly" (yes, that is the actual spelling) and go to the first page.

  10. Nokia 3650 on The Blues for LEDs · · Score: 0
    I have recently traded in my Nokia 7650 for a 3650. While the 7650 had a nice, white led behind the menu button and the keypad, the 3650 has superbright mini blue leds all over its round one.

    I tried to count them right now. Oh boy. Yellow specs all over the page. Cannot type. Seizure warninnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnddj

    What about RGB ones? I've seen one in a girlish casemod. Bright pink. Ugh.

    Anything trying to be really ubercool should come with one plus a software or a slider (or 3?) to adjust the fsck of it.

  12. Re:Fat cat on The Blues for LEDs · · Score: 1, Funny
    I agree. He's just a whiner. If it bothers him that much he could fix it with electrical tape.

    Then again, what can't be fixed with all-powerful duct/gaffer/electrical tape?

  13. Now I know where I saw this... on Apple Tries to Patent iPod User Interface · · Score: 0
    A first order, or home, interface provides a highest order of user selectable items each of which, when selected, results in an automatic transition to a lower order user interface associated with the selected item. In one of the described embodiments, the lower order interface includes other user selectable items associated with the previously selected item from the higher order user interface.
