    Murphy was an optimist.

  2. Re:IANAEE (I am not an electrical engineer) on Sun Unveils Direct chip-to-chip Interconnect · · Score: 1, Informative

    HyperTransport is more than AMD. In fact, it includes Sun!

    from the HyperTransport FAQ
    "6. What is the current specification release?
    The current HyperTransport Technology Specification is Release 1.05. It is backward compatible to previous releases (1.01, 1.03, and 1.04) and adds 64-bit addressing, defines the HyperTransport switch function, increases the number of outstanding concurrent transactions, and enhances support for PCI-X 2.0 internetworking."

    Yeah, YOU try to coordinate redesigns for 4 different chip vendors, who are also redesigning their chips for EACH OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

  4. Re:SPAM Laws on Privacy International Internet Censorship Report · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It all depends on whether the marketplace digs in or not.

    We could easily phase in a mailsystem that's much less prone to abuse than SMTP.
    But will anyone use it?

  5. ORWELLIAN PURPOSES? on Privacy International Internet Censorship Report · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nobody should be able to monitor the internet to help them write allegorical books about oppressive governments! Especially not the government!

    Good point. It's probably some BCD business then. Or two ints and a boolean. or something.

    preferable soution to my money problems:

    trick the box into thinking my bank balance is unsigned!

    (oh right, it's a float, can't do that...)

    (UNLESS it's some wackass BCD garbage! humhumhumhumtumtumtumtum)

    the correct approach is the death penalty for all lawbreakers!

  12. Re:Well... on G5 PowerBook "Challenge" · · Score: 1

    plus you do not need an additional frying pan. the aluminum top makes a great cooking surface with only the addition of some butter or olive oil.

    also good for grilling steaks, and with two 12" powerbooks, you can cook both sides of whatever george-foreman-grill style.

  13. Re:Perfection... on Final Fantasy X-2 North American Preview · · Score: 1

    FF3US = FF6Japan

    The landline phone does not leave the hospital and go into the outside world, unlike your cell phone.

  22. Re:Turbo Diesel Engines work better on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    i've heard there is a significant drop in quality of diesel fuel when you go from europe to the us, so that might explain the drop in fuel economy.

  23. Re:Turbo Diesel Engines work better on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    The TDI Jetta in the US is rated at 39 city mpg and 45 highway, since the Golf is smaller this is not surprising.

    Please note: biodiesel is more expensive if you're just pouring unused corn oil or whatever into your tank. You're better off pouring your used bacon grease, fryolator oil, etc. etc.

    My girlfriend's parents bought a 1981 Mercedes Benz diesel and converted it. It smells like french fries all the time.
