    Or maybe it's just a fancy set of lazer gizmos you hook up on your dashboard that work with any old windshield

  2. Retirement on EU Proposes Retroactive Copyright Extension · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Dang, I wish I could make money for free after my retirement :(

    I should see if my boss wants to consider paying me after I go so I have an extra 45 years I won't have to do any sysadmin work

    Take them OF the phone, not WITH the phone!

  5. Re:No on Should the Linux Desktop Be "Pure?" · · Score: 1

    I'd rather not purchase my hardware around which drivers happen to be free and which aren't. I want it to Just Work.

  6. Re:Next Story: on Dell Colludes With RIAA, Disables Stereo Mix · · Score: 1

    The cool part, leave the DVD up and move Paint or wherever you pasted the screenshot to over it and you'll see sections of the movie :P

  7. Next Story: on Dell Colludes With RIAA, Disables Stereo Mix · · Score: 5, Funny

    The MPAA has decided that asking large computer manufacturers to disable any Video Out options, so pirates are thwarted.

  8. Re:Wow on Google Open Sources Browser Sync · · Score: 1

    Isn't this what happened to Blender? (Although I think that one required some monetary persuasion)

  9. Re:There is no need for this for ordinary users on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1

    If you use rsync to backup, then ideally you'd only be backing up the 1gb/month that has changed/been added.

  10. Re:Crap on Researchers Demo Flippable-Page E-book Reader · · Score: 1

    I was going to post that the video was crap because I couldn't stand watching the thing in timelapse. They would have impressed me more if there was fluid motion.

    Did you get the new memo about the cover sheets?

  12. Re:image in the post? on Galaxy Zoo Produces a Rare Specimen · · Score: 1

    idle.* had a youtube video way before this post :P

  13. Re:The feed for me on What RSS Feeds Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    It was much better when I had a subscription and got the personalized feed, but I don't really use it enough to warrant another subscription just for that

  15. Re:Power vs Intel on Hands On With Nvidia's New GTX 280 Card · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's not exactly raw power, I seem to remember an article explaining the differences between the 7x00 gen and the 8x00 gen, where they fundamentally changed how the graphics card dealed with "stuff", can't remember what magazine it was in though.

    I don't think intel has quite that flexibility because of their commitment to backwards compatability, while nVidia can just push out new drivers.

  16. Re:Overreactions on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think 839 and 1097 have something to say to you!

  17. Re:Bacon fixin's on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 1

    I don't know what ranches you're talking about, but don't forget about the long tail....

    Where I lived there weren't any ranches owned by large companies, they were family affairs.

  18. Re:Overreactions on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 1

    I apologize for the overreaction on my part, but where I lived it was usually the case where my dad ("ranch manager") carried the guns in his truck and the workers generally didn't.

  19. Re:Overreactions on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think that's your problem right there ;)

    Farms don't have staff, they have workers.
    (I grew up on a farm/ranch, where my dad always made sure to have a shotgun or rifle handy )

  20. What, where, why, how? (when?) on Google To Develop ISP Throttling Detector · · Score: 5, Funny

    FTA:

    What:
    Throttling detector

    Where:
    The interwho

    Why:
    Because ISPs like to throttle to give Papa Joe and his daughters a healthy feed of myspace and rain hellfire upon Torrenting Sam and his goon squad of seeders

    Who knows?

  21. Papery on Paper Stronger Than Cast Iron · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's just like irony but stronger

  22. Difference? on goosh, the Unofficial Google Shell · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What's the difference between this and bash with a few handwritten scripts to grab results? (Other than a local bash shell being more functional than the webpage)

  23. Re:Simpler solution on Why BitTorrent Causes Latency and How To Fix It · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have my torrents capped to 1/10 of the advertised connection speeds, but latency still affects me (very visible in ssh sessions to my remote irssi server)

    80x30 grey on black.

  25. Re:Here's your warning: on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 1

    I don't know what you know, but in the case of the homeless person getting sued... well, he wasn't always homeless ;)

    They just delivered him the notice/whatever while he was homeless.
