    And then the whole thing happens again.

    And again.

    Will we ever get our asses out of this rut and start progressing?

  2. Re:Pretty Good... on Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control · · Score: 1

    That is a very good question, with a very good answer. I haven't figured out what it is, yet, but I'm sure it's out there. If you figure it out before me, let me know.

  3. Re:Wrong. OT on Unsung Heroes of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Why do people mod something down with the wrong mod? I don't particularly see this as off topic.
    It's somebodies opinion on the subject of discussion.

    THIS however, is offtopic. As it is marked in the subject. Please don't waste your points modding this down, go do something usefull with it like modding up good discussion items.

    Why didn't you just go make a small kernel with NTFS just for the purpose of rescuing that data?

    Actually, i have a liveCD (they call it System Restore disk or something) that is made for this kind of stuff. Thing has support for every frikin filesystem out there.

  5. Re:humans are wired to... on Is the iPod Shuffle Playing Favorites? · · Score: 1

    Well, the way i flip it, it usually (3 out of 4) will land with the face that was down on my hand, up.

    So, I put the coin, heads down, and flip it. 3/4 of the time it will land heads up.

    Maybe it just has something to do with the way I flip it (i didn't try to do this, it happens whether i want it to or not).

    Is that what you are talking about?

  7. Re:Strange... on SysInternals Releases RootkitRevealer · · Score: 1

    Last i checked, all accounts without a password set are denied remote and terminal access.

    For example: \\path.to.machine\c$ will not work if all of the administrative logins have no password.

    Of course, a local attack is a bit of a problem, if you do that.

    No. I voted for Kerry, because i felt him to be less of an evil. I would have voted for Nader, but some of the Green's goals are kindof extreme. and, let's face it - independants have never had a chance of winning an election.

    Excessive bad posting will temporarily (24 hours) disable AC/loginless posting from an IP/subnet.

    Also, if youre karma falls too low, you can only post so many times per 24 hours.


    Slashdot seems rather adept at detecting proxies and stuff like Tor, so really, "Or there should be a limit per IP address, where a person can post annonymous a certain number of times." is already there.

    I understand. Politics outside of Bush are very complex. With Bush, its With or Against Us. Do or die.... OK, i'm gona stop before i get started.

    For once. JUST ONCE. I wish people would vote for who they think is a better leader, instead of voting with their party. If they can't decide - don't vote.

    Of course, that will never happen. I hate the idea of political parties, and I wish people would remember that (most) of our Founding Fathers was against it.

    Considering I couldn't lift my own weight with my arms after using the "Duke" controller for 20 minutes, and I can type/mouse for 7 hours without sideaffect, I would say there is something seriously wrong with it.

    No other pad/joystick/controller has given me such a problem, and I don't exactly have small hands.

    OK, so whenever a packet goes outside of the network and recieves a reply, forward THAT and say it *may* have ties to child pornography.

    Really now. Even a simple ROT1 cypher over the traffic and the ISP is screwed.

  17. Re:How Fast? on Wi-Fi VoIP At 80 mph · · Score: 1

    You mixed up your red/blue shifts.

    Moving quickly towards a transmitter will cause the wavelength to be shorter from your perspective, and the waves behind you longer, as they "lag" behind.

    At 0.9c, thermal and some higher freq radio (like microwaves) would probably appear to you as light, while normal light would be shoved up past your perceptions.

    Would certainly be an awsome experience, as looking behind, you could "see" UV, maybe X-Rays, ect.

    I remember simply looking at the printout to judge whether or not the cartridge was dead. You know, when it gets faded or starts to get streaks (the inkless ones, not the dirty streaks).

    Do we really need some little taskbar utility sucking RAM to tell us that our ink is low, when we can simply excersize about two seconds of deductive reasoning?

    Are you sure you know what your talking about?

    The AK-47 is not what you would call short.

    Maybe you are thinking of the AKS-74U? The barrel length is about half that of the normal AK, and it has a folding stock rather then the AK's solid one.

    Not to mention it looks cooler :)

    The Uzi it self is not really that tiny. You are thinking of a micro-uzi. The plain Uzi is a two-handed weapon with a folding stock.

    He's talking about Red Hat Network. You get one (only one!) machine that you can get priority updates for free. After that, you take a back seat (if all the RedHat Enterprise people are updating, you get the leftover bandwidth). But you still only get one PC you can update.
