  2. Re:Torrent distribution on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    Ever taken a look in the Tools>Options>Interface>Display> Update GUI every __? It probably says 1000ms in your particular case. Try changing that value to 500ms, 250ms, or even 100ms. Things will "feel" faster, I guarentee it.

  3. Re:Overpriced on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 1

    The Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS both have QoS without having to buy any 3rd party firmware. Just update to the latest from their site. I did with my WRT54GS and my buddies WRT54G and torrents never need to be throttled. I also run Linux on my laptop using a Linksys WPC54GS PCMCIA card using NDISWRAPPER and WPA-Supplicant. Never even once had to call tech support because I can Google ;)

  4. Re:Kentucky Fried Chicken on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    I know I am feeding the troll, but I had to chime in with my two cents. Did you ever wonder what would happen to all the humans that eat "tasty animals" in order to live? If you PETA people would achive your goal of total animal liberation, then there would be billions of people around the world starving to death. That is more comparable to the holocaust IMHO. On top of starvation, to quote Penn Gillette of Penn and Teller, there would be animals fucking and shitting all over this shitty fuckin place.

  5. Re:Not all stun guns will knock you out/down on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 1

    Of course it is. If you read my post again I state 100,000 volts at the same amperage as a typical stun gun. Watts = Volts X Amps. When you use a 9v battery source and increase the voltage to 100,000v, the amps drop considerably enough to slow the popping of the arc enough to see the individual pops, whereas if you started off with a 220v wall jack source increased increased to 100,000v you would propably kill someone because the amperage would be much higher. Thats why I specified the same amps as a typical stun gun. Simply using wattage to refer to this type of application does not explain the breakdown of it enough.

  6. Not all stun guns will knock you out/down on Games That Shoot Back · · Score: 1

    I have a few, and until you get up towards 500,000 volts the pain is tolerable, and is on the surface only. The 700,000 volt model I have is able to cut through paper with its arc, and needless to say it will knock you down and out if you were shocked for more than 5 seconds depending on your body weight. I wouldn't mind wearing a belt that was adjustable between 100,000-300,000 volts in a game of CounterStrike. As long as the amps were as low as a typical stun gun the pain would be less than paintballing, and cheaper.

  8. Re:Speaking as a non-hacked Brit on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1

    COX HSI here in the States blocks many ports by default. The problem is that we don't have the option to have them unblock any ports. I would like to be able to have all ports open on the connection I pay for (except 80 of course for residential).

  9. Re:"two weeks" FUD alert, FUD alert on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 1

    I can check slashdot for a new article every N minutes, but that doesn't mean that every N minutes I get to see a new article on slashdot. Just because your AV is "checking" for an update doesn't mean that you get an update every time you check. I finally gave in and bought Panda since they actually release updates daily.

  10. Re:All your DRM music are belong to us. on iTunes DRM Hole Closed · · Score: 1

    That works OK if you have hours to sit at your computer copying songs in analog mode to WAV, encoding to MP3, and manually adding the ID3 tags for each track. It would be easier to just use Nero to burn an AudioCD Image of the DRMed tracks, mount the image with daemon tools, and rip the Mounted CD with the DRM tracks on it to the HDD with whatever ripping program you like in whatever format you like. If you left the tracks in the original order on the AudioCD Image, then CDDB will give your ripper the ID3 tags to add to the ripped media. That takes much less time than recording in analog mode.

    You don't need full digital sound, but 15 camera angles would be cool ;)

  12. Re:Blu-Ray on Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IIRC the pr0n industry is still undecided. Many pr0n producers do not have the $$$ to switch their infrastructure to make blu-ray media. HD-DVD offers less up-front cost to switch over, and that might be more important to the pr0n industry.

  13. Re:Ports vertical? on Mac mini in a Volkswagen · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of an old Crysler Laser that had a vertical cigarette lighter outlet that a penny would fit perfectly inside ;) Luckily the only other things on that particular fuse was the dome light.

    Thats strange, my mother has always worked for lawyers, and she has always used word perfect. I never knew that it was the norm for law firms to use it. My mother always said that there were things in WP that weren't in MS Word. She has been using WP since the days of MSDOS.

    The little checkbox for "Remember Password" is gone in Home Edition when you connect to a password protected SMB share, and the "manage network passwords" portion of the "user account" control panel. I upgraded my parents Laptop to Pro for that reason alone.

    The one thing that keeps me dual booting winxp and using a mouse as opposed to a trackball is GAMES. I have a hard time aiming in FPS games with a trackball.

  23. Re:Finding things is harder... on BitTorrent Community After SuprNova Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Azureus is Java, and runs nice on my Mandrake box. When you compare it to BitTornado running one torrent, Azureus seems like a resource hog, but when running multiple torrents Azureus can actually be better on memory than BitTornado running multiple windows. As far as features go, Azureus has many, including a page full of developer/community created plugins. I run Azureus on my Mandrake box in a console, and use the WebUI plugin to control things. Check them out at http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

    CoD and HL2 work "OK" in cedega, but there is a noticable performance hit when running any game through cedega. While most gamers are overclocking their components to gain a small performance boost in games, not many will put up with a drop in performance just to be free from M$.
