  6. Re:Refund for XP on Windows Refund Day II · · Score: 2
    Two problems with this:
    1 - not legal. The EULA specifically says it's legally bound to the hardware it was bought with


    EULA, (End Users License Agreement)

    My question is, if your not a user. does the agreement apply? otherwise, wouldnt it be called an ELA ? or if you dont agree .. then it cant be an agreement .. so it would be an EL ..

    i could go on and on.

  10. Re:bet you only use 2 ears too on More on DVD-Audio and SACD · · Score: 3, Funny
    Poor sap. Until you use all 5 ears and a good 5.1 system, you will never appreciate music the way it is meant to be heard.


    I dont eeeeven want to know where the subwoofer goes!

  11. Re:How fast? on The Ulltimate DVD Burner? · · Score: 2
    I don't own one and i dont know anyone with one, how long does it take to burn a full DVD, is there a difference in between the standards, what's the write speed, average time, etc?


    I dont own one of these, but i do own a HP100i (i got screwed, and should have waited for the 200i)

    but i can burn a full dvd (2 hours) in approximately 20 minutes. im sure this burner is comparable.

    Andromeda is really cool.. im using it to serve my Pink Floyd collection.

    Just for the record, none of the music at the above site is copyrighted, and was never released through any of the normal channels.

    If David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Roger Waters, or Syd Barret wish for me to take the site down, they can contact me.

  17. RIAA MPAA et al .. can kiss my ass on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 2

    http://roio.stradlin.com no banners, popups, or any of that sort of stuff. just 9 gigs of mp3's.

    Seriously though, not every mp3 is subject to the RIAA.

  18. Re:Can anyone... on Funky Robotic Hand · · Score: 2

    Well, thats hard to say. On Nasa's site they are showing the mean torque to be 13.73 Nm for strength in the forearm, not the hand/wrist. so I guess that leaves the question of "is the wrist 10% the strength of the forearm?"

  19. Re:Can anyone... on Funky Robotic Hand · · Score: 3, Informative

    Certainly, these are measurements of torque. Given that we can convert imperial to english.
    Newton metres (Nm) x 8.85 = Pounds-force inches (Ibf in; lb in)

    Wrist: 13.275 pound/inches
    Distal: 4.425 pound/inches
    Proximal: 8.85 pound/inches

  20. Re:Must start on diesel on Drive a Greasecar - DIY Biodiesel · · Score: 1

    The reason the car must start on diesel, is because the grease solidifies to a butter like texture (think crisco), and must be melted. this is done by using a hot water jacket.

    i would think that as long as the grease is sufficiently fluid, you could start the engine solely on vegetable grease.

    at least thats what i gathered from the article.

  21. Re:OT: (Kind of) About copy protection on Mysteries Of The CDRW and Backups Revealed · · Score: 1
    I think we need copy prevention for games. Not so much with online ones though because you can do things at the server that discourage casual copies. (Flame suit on :)

  22. Re:Beware Sony Owners Instead... on Terahertz Imaging:Another Way to See Through Walls · · Score: 1

    Actually it does emit IR light... if it didn't, you would not be able to view non living objects very well, as they produce no heat.

    or conversely if the camera was sensitive enough to see the heat from a table, or a wall, a person would be bright enough to flood the camera.

    just a thought.
