  6. better things to send out than human on More on Inflatable Space Hotels · · Score: 1

    those "tourist" type of space journal just doesnot make sense from science part, can he build a factory in space to produce some special crystal, do medical or other research?

    so I finally dont have to work, only need to wear those shirts with advertisement in mall and other public places, to make my living, that's nice.

  8. what about a dell? on Bypassing Intel's Overclock Limit Reveals DDR2-667 · · Score: 1

    a few weeks ago there was a deal about dell dimension 8400 with p4 3G HT, 1G DDR2, ati x800xt video card for less than $1100 after 15% coupon and mail in rebate.
    I wonder if anybody who bought that system ever got any problem for stability?

  9. Re:10 existing Starbucks locations in Seattle on Starbucks - Your Next Music Superstore? · · Score: 1

    there are some, I actually saw pics of them in some M$ blogger's site.

  10. Re:Sorry, but you're wrong on TiVo vs. Windows Media Center Edition · · Score: 1

    there's very little quality loss for tv capture card, yes, there's quality loss, but if you use the right software, it's not visible.
    actually the cheap ati tv tuner card works pretty well with some 3rd party software, also you can make it record realtime into VCD format(some hack is neede) or just DVD mpeg2 stream. it's real time, so no further transformation is needed.
    well, it's analog, so it's not "perfect", but it's good enough, I made some of my own, not top quality since I didnot tweak it well enough but still very good quality, my friend is really into it, he actually captures stuff from his TIVO into computer, so that he can back things up.
    I dont know if there's any hack to get stuff out of the tivo into a pc, I think there might be, otherwise, it's best just to use tv tuner card.
    and I dont really record stuff through tivo, if you want to watch a show, some one already record it off his own digital network and you can get it through P2P. :D
    that's the best part!

  11. something good on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    my company pays for broadband and I havenot bee contact off work hour, yet. :D

  12. basic GRE logic failure on Akamai: How They Fought Recent DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    they showed how they survived DDOS attack by using various platform and causing themselves trouble, but they failed to demonstrate that they can't do that without various platform, actually, that's doable.

  13. Re:Sorry on TiVo vs. Windows Media Center Edition · · Score: 4, Insightful

    a tv tuner card on pc can do much better than tivo, not to mention you have the ability to burn them on CDR, or burn them to DVDR, even DVD( on DVDR) and archive them. :D

  14. demo/repubican, they are all the same on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers · · Score: 1

    I assume everbody knows that, they both need coporate money to do their "champaign" and none of them really cares about the people.

  16. Re:any information about DVD sales? on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Interesting computer Chess? on World Computer Chess Championships Underway · · Score: 1

  18. Re:still doing DM? on First Doom3 Tourney @ QuakeCon · · Score: 1

    it's more of a finger chemistry thing instead of brain chemistry, IMHO.
    btw, I dont mean to make this one flamebait, just after so many years of playing FPS, tired of the simple DM mode, including team DM and those last man standing stuff.
    vehicle/turret manipulation and team work (flag, ball game, onslaught) create a lot more gameplay than simplying DM
    but I have to admit some time it's still 1 vs 1 in many of those new game types. it's still very different to die so that others can get to one powernode to gain the ground, than simply increase frag by 1

  19. any information about DVD sales? on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 1

    is that impacted by internet at all? since for LOTR3, I watched it 3 times in theatre and bought the DVD, waiting for the extended edition of the DVD as well.

  21. trust or not to trust? on iPod: Your Portable Corporate Hellraiser · · Score: 1

    that's a question, but if you cant trust your employee, how can you perform any work, at all?

    we even built our own tv station with simple modification of some anntena back in college, which covers our dorm building.
