    How is the numbering system set up?

  2. Slackware-esque numbering on WiMax Operator's Manual: Building 802.16 Wireless · · Score: 0

    802.16? This is starting to sound like Slackware jumping over numbers. Who designs the numbering systems? Is there a specific adaptation that meritied the jump from 802.11 to 802.16?

    It seems to me that, should Remote Desktop, etc. be hacked into, you wouldn't need to copy code onto the computer. The code was already in place.

  4. Re:what's the point of a PDA... on HP iPAQ hx4705 Reviewed · · Score: 0

    HP's latest baseline PDA is similar to what you want. It's the 1715 (I believe). I just bought one for basic stuff, and the battery lasts for quite a while. Wifi is just an SDIO card away. The screen isn't that bad.

    If you made a "sexbot" running linux (fine, fine, any OS), you could have it start playing cheesy porn mp3s on cue!

    Instead, a hobbiest treasure hunter with a civilian boat and a WalMart geiger counter has to do the job for them and send the US military a GPS point.
    Hobbiest treasure hunter? The guy is ex-Air Force. He knows his way around boats, planes, and the physics of a bomb dropping out of a plane. If you read the article, you would know that he did his research. He asked both the people who searched for it years ago as well as the pilots who jettisoned the bomb. Then he did the math and figured out where he thought it would be. Finally, he went looking for it where he thought it would be. And if you think about it, it was more cost-effective for the government to give up after nine months of fruitless searching. Better than looking for the thing for years, I say.

    Maybe he just installed Firefox just to see what the competition is like.
    This is true. The best way to beat your competition is to see what they do better than you...and then try to outdo them. Or see what is in the works and beat them to the punch but make it look like your own. I don't mean steal from the source code here. I mean "Wow. That popup blocker in Mozilla and Firefox is really handy. Maybe IE should have one as well." And wouldn't you know it, SP2 has a popup blocker for IE. As much as I hate Microsoft without real reason, I respect the foresight they (perhaps only now) seem to have in fixing major flaws and adding shiny new functionality to make sure more people like me don't stray to alternates.

    Actually, I feel that in the future when the animal protein-coated storage unit becomes a reality, animal rights groups probably would protest. I can see it now:

  12. Re:Cooling on Two New AMD Mobile Chips Launched · · Score: 0

    You are absolutely correct. I have a total of four fans in my case, and those are only in the places they either came pre-installed or are basically required to go: --One in the back, next to the processor --One in the front, near the floor and the PCI slots --One on my graphics card (preinstalled) --One on my processor Mind you, that one on my processor is really freaking loud. But it's a nice Dr. Thermal that has kept me at an almost completely constant 45 degrees celcius since I've had the computer, and I bought it for 20 bucks. All that cooling total cost me 30, including the thermal grease on the processor die. So far, my secret has been to make sure the hot air is drawn out by one case fan and cold air drawn in by the other. Also, founded cables have improved the airflow from one fan to the next, leaving my computer nice and cozy.

    But if you think about it, you don't want this sort of thing hanging around your house. You would put them up for relatively cheap and pray for a non-FBI bite.

    No, no, the slow speed is because the guys who stole the cards are trying to download the entire internet at once. Pr0n prioritized.

    Wow. If he can't configure CUPS using gui-based programs, then he definately needs to do something else with his time (like jump off cliffs). I know several major distros have pre-installed control panels that help you configure your printers. Most even have wizards to do it for you. Then there's always the CUPS webserver to do it (http://localhost:631). Or the X Printing Panel (xpp). Or the Printer Utility Program (pup). Or...
