  1. Re:aphex twin on Music Meets Steganography · · Score: 1

    Homebrewed samples? Nope, he samples old English kiddie records and porn movies.

    He hacks his instruments? He modified his 303 and that was it. He works all in software now.

    And let's face it, anyone who enjoys sitting around in a room and making cool noises by turning knobs and pressing buttons deserves the limelight, and that's a BIIIIIG list!

  2. Re:ya, but who can see it? on Music Meets Steganography · · Score: 1

    That's funny. I only study engineering and I learned about them (and had to calculate them) in sophomore calculus.

  3. Re:NEWS ALERT: Buttons on the TV can change channe on Technology: Fueling Hatred and Misunderstanding · · Score: 1

    The US having plans to invade Afghanistan back in July for easier access to oil? This isn't even a War on Terror. That's just a convenient excuse.

  4. Re:NEWS ALERT: Buttons on the TV can change channe on Technology: Fueling Hatred and Misunderstanding · · Score: 1

    Liberal media? The one that constantly made a big deal about Clinton's sexual history but plays down the Enron deal? The one that gives plenty of attention to Bush's War on Terrorism and Cheney's will to keep fighting the Gulf War? Really, now?

  5. Neo Geo 3D on Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It should be noted that there is a 64-bit version of the Neo Geo. It's called the Hyper NEO GEO 64, although I think it's only an arcade board. The only game I know of released on it was called Samurai Shodown 64, which I suppose is not the same as Samurai Shodown 4.

    You know, you could probably buy a NEO GEO arcade motherboard for about $50, then pick up a JAMMA cabinet with a crap game in it for $200, and you wouldn't have to worry about encryption OR copyright violation OR finding ROM dumps.

  6. Re:gosh...... on Neo-Geo : The Game Console That Won't Die · · Score: 1

    Yep, unlike other consoles, they never, ever used data compression in their carts.

  7. Re:Off-Topic: Has Microsoft Ever Dealt Fairly? on RealNames CEO Talks Back · · Score: 1

    Apple.

    Apple got $150 million or something like that from Microsoft. They now own a non-voting percentage of Apple, or something like that.

    They're still alive and functioning (mostly) autonomously last time I checked.

  8. Re:ups on When Shipping the Big Iron...? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I did this in the back of my girlfriend's truck when a friend gave her a big console TV.

    I didn't appreciate it when she slammed on the brakes.

  9. Re:A little thought experiment on This Place is Not a Place of Honor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ground up mummy resin was used for medicine once upon a time. Later on, ground up actual mummified bodies were sold as the same stuff, and then ground up mummified executed criminals! Yum!

  10. Re:MPAA and RIAA don't want money on Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet · · Score: 1

    Dude, don't make me go legal on your ass like DBX vs. Ovum Records. That is SUCH a copy.

  11. Re:MPAA and RIAA don't want money on Bootleg Star Wars AotC Debuts on Internet · · Score: 1

    No, your last line is wrong. It should be:

    Spaceman 2: Took acid instead of doing your homework again, eh?

  12. Re:How is this art? on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 1

    Well, neither Magritte (a surrealist), Escher (who considered himself almost a mathematician), nor Dali (another surrealist) were Dadaists.

    Therefore, if you want to get away with tripe (and I don't simply mean non-objective art) like a black curtain tacked onto a black wall, just call yourself a Dadaist!

  13. Re:I hate spam, but ... on The Story of "Nadine" · · Score: 1

    I've heard MSN employees blamed for this. They can go below the hotmail anti-junk filters

  14. Re:How is this art? on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 1
    For the record, I do think dadaism is mostly pretentious silliness for people not quite smart enough to out-Magritte Magritte.

    From what I can tell, that was the whole point of dadaists. They exaggerated pretentiousness in order to poke fun at it and point out its absurdity.

  15. Re:Is there anything like this for DSL? on Security Focus on Cable Modem Uncapping · · Score: 3, Informative

    You are correct.

    To be more specific, each cable modem in your neighborhood receives and sends all data that goes through your neighborhood.

    Each cable modem has a timeslice to pay attention to data being sent to it. When receiving, there are multiple way of multiplexing, be it giving each modem on the network a timeslice to send a burst, or frequency division multiplexing

  16. Re:Dilution on Fewer Jobs, Less Pay In The IT Industry · · Score: 1

    Companies don't sift through resumes to find good people. They buy database systems to do it for them. Ever heard of Resumix?

  17. OT: Re:Pagan != Satanist!!! on The Dangers of Being A Microbiologist · · Score: 1
    Actually the Inquisition was more concerned with bloodlust than anything else. Denounced? You're dead! Remember, the church back then was MUCH more intwined with European politics (Pope gives the crown to Charlemagne, etc. etc.), so preaching against Catholicism on these grounds is kind of like protesting against the Italian government because of stuff the Roman Empire pulled!.

    The time heresy was feared more was during the EARLY EARLY days of the Catholic Church, long before the Schism between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, before the Reformation, and before Henry VIII wanted a divorce. We're talking first millenium AD here.

    Perhaps you have read the Nicene Creed? Parts of it were written specifically to preach against things like Gnosticism, Arianism, etc. etc.

  18. Re:Plot not yet complete on The Dangers of Being A Microbiologist · · Score: 1

    Fairly obvious...perhaps because YOU'RE the one doing the killing! inKubus in the Ballroom with the Rope!

  19. Re:I can see it now... on Another Reason to be Annoyed by Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All SNCF trains here in France have cute little stickers in the passenger compartments with a sleeping cell phone. Out near the bathrooms and the luggage compartment they have similar stickers with a happy smiling cell phone.

    Lots of movie theaters, concert venues, etc. tell you to extinguish your portable (that's a literal translation anyway :) before entering the area as well.

  20. Re:Another great idea we'll never see on Paintable LCDs · · Score: 1

    It's not cool enough until it's safe enough to use as tattoo ink.

    A color-changing tattoo would be so nice, especially if I could switch it off so I can actually a job AND have a tattoo on my face.

    I did read that in the OMNI 1985 Guide to the Future so it MUST come true!

  21. Re:Already happens in schools on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Eh? I remember seeing an agreement my school had that said 90% of students present must watch Channel One 90% of the time, but I remember nothing about people going to jail for that, only losing the televisions.

  22. Re:Thats totaly unnessesary. on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    What about guys who watch their aim so they don't pee all over the rim? Will they put an LCD screen IN THE BOWL? :D

  23. Re:Yes, a pretty cool book on Macintosh... The Naked Truth · · Score: 1

    Mac video connectors have been different from VGA connectors for a long time. Most monitor manufacturers will give you an adapter for free, or something like $1 if you ask.
