  1. Plot on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 0

    People have complaned that doom 3 has too much plot. I Dont see how a movie can live true to the original intent of doom while maintaining a good plot. Personally i think a If it moves, shoot it, if it doesent pick it up movie would be pretty suckey. Im interested in seeing how this turns out. I BEAT DOOM 3. (in god mode)

  2. Re:Packard Bell on NEC Strikes Back With SX-8 Supercomputer · · Score: 0

    I wonder how well it would run Doom 3? I bought my comp in last year and i rarely get more than 15.

  3. Saftey on What's Next in the New Private Space Industry? · · Score: 0

    The space shuttle is operated by NASA, which is problably better funded and staffed than SpaceShipOne, and already two Space Shuttles have crashed. How long will it be until there is a major accedent on SpaceShipOne, and how will we all react when two people are killed and they have lost the very expensive spacecraft.

  4. Re:Your vote is Dubya's Vote? on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 0

    With the two main canadates and several different independant canadates that seem to come and go, this kinda reminds me of the Win/Mac/Lin battle.

    Ovbiously /. can cary the load, so slashdot should offer to mirror web pages and images from the /.ed servers while there down.

  6. Re:Why use a sattelite? on Movie Distribution Via Satellite · · Score: 0

    I believe placing anything on a (standard) ftp could be taken fairly easially. Of course, if thay have strong encryption on the movie, or used some kind of other encyyped protocol it would be different. I wonder if it would be possible to intercept the sattelite transmission?

    You cant argue that Bill gates is smart. He is a complete geinous. M$ on the other hand has horrable morals, and couldn't write a stable OS if their money depended on it (and of course it doesent).

  10. Re:Well on Dear Microsoft Windows ... · · Score: 1

    I think sulli ment thet more people have been moving away from linux than before, but of course, more people are still moving twards from linux than away. I use windows, but I like linux. Even though I am writing this on XP doesent mean I love windows, nor does it mean I dislike linux. I really only use Windows for 2 reasions: I am 14, I have a brother, he is athletic and theres no way i could get him to learn linux, plus i have to admit, there are more/better games for Windows, which I dont want go give up yet. I still use linux on my other two boxes, and eventuially when we get a new box, i will install linux on the older one and it will preform just as well as the new XP one.

  12. Pretty good idea... on Voting A Class Requirement For Some At Drew · · Score: 1

    I dont think this teacher should Force the students to vote because then you would have many people who would just pick a random canadate to vote for. However, assigning it for extra credit, which would provide an incentive for those who are just too lazy to vote, would be a good idea. I would guess if your taking a class on the U.S.A., you would already be educated enough to vote, so i see logic in doung it during English. I certainly will vote when i can (4 years)

    While Media intense crap will alyays load our connections, i dont see IRC or SSH going completly out of date soon (mabey replaced with better protocols) but there will always be text. Even over my dialup anything textbased will alyays be fast. They can make fancy pictures, but text is text. and text is small.

  15. Laws are meant to be broken on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 1

    The airlines have huge restrictions on the passengers electronic devices. On a flight (United i believe) a flight attendant told me to put away a GPS. For anyone who doesent understand basic GPS tech, the GPS recieves signals from satelites and from the timing of the signals triangulates your position. There is absoutley no outgoing radio on most GPSs. I've left the wi-fi on on my laptop loads of times and we havent crashed.

  16. Re:just my two cents on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 1

    I would guess that the airlines would operate the in-plane cell antennas, so there would be huge roaming charges, but it would problably use the airplanes connection to a satelite or other long range communication. For example, over lakes and oceans where there would be no cell reception normally. Also, would our phones work overseas? They also need to have Wi-fi on the planes. Imagine a CS tournament 5000 feet up.

  17. Re:Damned if they do, damned if they don't on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Someone should build a underground hydro plant. Something with inputs on the bottom of a river and outputs at the bottom of a water fall or just far enough downstream to generate something out of it.

  18. Re:Bah! you think too hard on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    I say we just get out of our atmosphere, and possibly our solar system. If we dumb the crap on the moon and it breaks on impact or devolops a leak, we have no way of reparing it if we (U.S.A.) ever plan to do something there (I read some stories a while back about bush wanting it). And ur right the sun would be easy to hit now that i think about it.

  19. Bah! you think too hard on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Why send it to the sun? It would require some percision, and a satelite nudging it on course is illogical. Just launch it randomly out of our solar system, or in the direction that those signals that SETI discoverd yesterday where coming from.

  20. Laptop or handheld? on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 1

    The two options are a small laptop (i'veplaye with tiny vaios at best buy) or a Handheld? Most of all, I would like the ability to install linux, which is not capable on a pocket pc (I own and love my Dell Axim, in fact, I am writing this post on it) for all of my wardriving needs. A long battery life would be great (Again, my Axim X5 has great battery life) and an option to boost the processor, even if it means more porer consumption. Lastly, I would need Expadability. Whats the point of awardriving laptop with uot GPS and a High-Powerd directional antenna? Bluetooth and Hard drive space are bonuses.

  23. Plastic or similar hoses on Space-Age Houses · · Score: 1

    If water hits a wood house, everything it touches will rot and the water will seap through holes destroying everything inside, but it the house is made out carbon fiber inforced plactic, it could be percision made in prefab sections that could be water tight. With wood, raw materials are brought to the worksite, and sometimes people do a pretty shotty jom assembling it perfectally, but a plastic house could be shipped in in sections that you could coustomise, and assemble cheaply with less on an area for error.

  24. Re:A land-line...? on VoIP And Cell Phones Eroding Traditional Telecoms · · Score: 1

    Where I live, Cell phone reception is way too reliable to trust it as a pribary form of communication. Its randomness! Anyways, most people here ave basements, ant there no way I (verizon) would be able to get reception. I've heard cingular is good though.
