  1. robort? on Pharm-Bot Goes On Rampage · · Score: 1

    sibling robort Elvis

    What's a robort?

  2. It will be available eventually on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It will still be available for Longhorn, just not when it is initially released.

  3. Re:But..... on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    and who do they hire to read the outgoing emails of the people they hired to read the outgoing emails of the people they hired to read outgoing emails?

    oh no, infinite loop...

  4. 600MB?!?!?!? on Using the Semantic Web to Enhance Search · · Score: 1

    You're linking a 600MB file from slashdot?

    (oh, and I'm getting 503's for the searches)

  5. Are these guides *really* edited? on Athlon 64 In-depth Overclocking Guide · · Score: 1

    discussions ranged on weather the A64 would even be overclockable at all.

    Or are they just edited by the /. editors :-)~

  6. Re:capped to 5GB/month on Australia Gets 8Mbit/s Broadband now, 20Mbit Soon · · Score: 1

    They're are actually capped to 40GB per a month.

  7. and here in Australia... on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm stuck on 1500Kb/s (256up) with 20gig a month for $50... and that's considered the best deal in the country now... it's not fair

  8. Re:Creationism vs. Evolution on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    I would disagree with you when you say that most Protestant fundamentalists use the King James Bible. AFAIK, most of the ones I know use the New International Version (NIV), although many have started using the English Standard Version (ESV) since it's recent release.

  9. Re:Creationism vs. Evolution on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 2, Informative

    You do realise that all good Catholics should believe that evolution is correct. Pope John Paul II himself has declared that evolution is 'more than just a hypothesis'.

    "When a group of people persecute others that don't agree with their idea of the "truth", we have tyrany"
    can I just ask who is persecuting who here?

  10. Re:'Greatest and Luckiest of Mortals' indeed on The Greatest And The Luckiest Of Mortals · · Score: 5, Informative

    not invented, discovered

    also, Leibniz also independantly devised the system of calculus at the same time

  11. but isn't 100%... on LCD Pixel Response Time Halved · · Score: 5, Insightful

    doesn't a reduction of 100% mean it has been reduced to 0ms?

  12. Re:Doom 3? on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    how is what I said a troll? They claim on their site that you can play Doom 3 on their machine, but I seriously doubt the 5200 Ultra could run it, or at least, not playably.

    and the Ti4400 is a fair bit faster than the 5200 Ultra as well

  13. Doom 3? on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 0, Troll

    they said it, not me...

    That's a 1.6 or 1.8GHz G5 processor, 533 or 600MHz frontside bus, 256MB DDR SDRAM running at 400MHz and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB graphics memory. So you'll be able to play Worlds of Warcraft, Doom III and other fantastic entertainment.

    yes, I realise that this machine is definitely not designed for this purpose, but seriously though, how can they say that you can play Doom 3 on this?

  14. How stable is it? on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 0

    Is it just me or does that look like it could fall over very easily?

    It has a small base and a fairly chunky body, and I for one wouldn't want to accidentally knock it over too many times.

  15. Technological Genius' on Jack Valenti: The Exit Interview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    because I have great faith in the technological genius that's out there

    Yes, but which side are these technological genius' fighting for?

    I have said, technology is what causes the problem, and technology will be the salvation of the problem. I really do believe we can stuff enough algorithms in a movie that only the dedicated hackers can spend the time and effort to try to plumb through those 1,000 algorithms to try to find a way to beat it. In time, we'll be able to do this, because I have great faith in the technological genius that's out there.

    Is it just me, or does this sound really stupid? How are normal dvd players going to be able to play these non-standard dvd's? And besides, if you can play it, it is possible to record.

  16. Re:30 seconds? on A C Compiler For The HP49g+ · · Score: 1

    well my TI83+ does 50! more or less instantly

    although it only does x! for values of x up to 69

  17. Cover a building in it? on Clear Solar Panels Double As Projection Screens · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Assuming the average skyscraper is approximately 600ft tall (they need to be at least 500ft) and 175ft wide (a wild guess), to cover a building in this 'glass' would cost 175*600*4*45 = $18900000

    Is $19 million worth of glass really what you would want to get?

  18. Is the use of AirPwn anonymous? on The Dark Side Of DefCon's Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    say, um... somebody, was to use AirPwn, would it be possible to track down who is using it?

    let's just say I go to a school which has wireless internet access : D

  19. How do I use this behind a firewall? on Tor: A JAP Replacement · · Score: 1

    Can someone please instruct me on how to set up Tor when I am behind a http proxy which requires a username and password?

    (And before you say RTFM, I already have, and I couldn't find anything relevent.)

  20. Overclocking? on IBM Announces Chip Morphing Technology · · Score: 0, Redundant

    would these chips with eFUSE be able to be overclocked, without fear of damaging the chip?

  21. Re:Not working but funny. on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    I believe I also have an experience of putting in a CPU around the wrong way...

    all I know is that they glow : P

  22. what is the point on Advertising Hits Arizona County Government Website · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How much revenue would advertising bring to the site? Would it be worth the degraded image that advertising will bring? Do they really need that extra money?

  24. Re:Office for Linux? who'd use it? on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: 1

    true, but I meant that you were under no obligation to pay for it (as in, it's legally free to use)

    (btw, if I had money free (ie, not a student) I would happily donate to some OSS projects, such as OO.o)

  25. Office for Linux? who'd use it? on How Microsoft Could Embrace Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    why not offer them a low-cost Linux version of Office?

    why would any linux user use MS Office, especially when they have to pay for it?

    considering heaps of people use OpenOffice.org and the like on Windows, I really don't see many people using MS Office under linux.
