  1. A bit late? on BEST Robotics Competition Kicks Off Challenge 2004 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Capitol BEST competition was just this Saturday. The topic and rules were announced 6-weeks ago.
    I was part of the ill-equipped Westwood team

    As you might assume, we got owned, but we did have the coolest design.

  2. Reasons for VoIP on What VoIP Is Actually Good For · · Score: 1, Insightful

    (1) Long-distance is VoIded
    (2) It has internet stuff in it
    (3) You can claim you're l337er than your neighbor
    (4) ...
    (5) PROFIT!!!

    Of course, it (the cheap solutions) also limits possible contacts to other users, creating a filter so one is only able and only has to talk to fellow geeks.

    1: Get a compile farm going

    Sorry, it had to be done

  4. A la OS on The Perfect Online Music Store? · · Score: 0

    All music have sheet music included

    "Remixes" should have CVS snapshots with release notes from the artists

    And of course, all downloads accompanied with an MD5 sum!

  5. Your first clue on Chimp Can Hack Diebold Electronic Voting System · · Score: 5, Funny

    "saves vote totals in Microsoft Access"
    Hey, at least its accurate advertising

  6. Insecure? 'nuff said. on Spammers Are Early Adopters of SPF Standard · · Score: 0

    despite backing from software giant Microsoft Corp
    ---
    I give all products an objective and just comparison (based on their names)

  7. Quick, before the feds get a hold of legal pads! on Cellphones Usable on Airplanes in 2006? · · Score: 1

    that would intercept all the calls from people in the plane
    Are we going to see the same VoIP wire-tapping requirements applied to planes? At least under the current system, there aren't "minicells" to intercept cell signals. Next, we'll see planes flying abnormally low over cities and countries like iran.
    public int post () { return 1+post(); }

  8. Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on UN Supports OSS/Free Software In Developing World · · Score: 1

    We know how well the United States listens to the UN.

  10. Re: Pirate users click here! on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 1

    "We want to make sure that the broadest number of people can install SP2." In regards to allowing pirated copies install SP2.

    Oh, I'm sure our friends in Redmond are feeling a stroke of gratitude. Let's see what happens when those pirate users have to install the bug fixes. Save the hassle and switch to Lunix.

  11. AMD vs Intel on EM64T Xeon vs. Athlon 64 under Linux (AMD64) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What you're looking for is value as well as how much power you need. When your computer is sitting most of the time, hardly doing anything, is dropping $500 on a faster processor really worth it. The human eye pretty much stops distinguishing framerate past 30fps, so, unless your hosting an intensive server or work platform, ensuring a non idle CPU, getting the Intel is just a matter of bragging rights.
