  1. Re:I got it! on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 1

    That was GREAT!

  2. Re:Summary is misleading on IE7 Separated from Windows Explorer · · Score: 1

    You've always been able to upgrade IE on its own. Heck, I remember installing IE4 over IE3 on NT ten years ago. This is hardly a new feature for IE7.

    You are correct. This is posted from IE7 on Windows XP.

  3. Re:Video signal distance limits on The Mini-ITX Linux PVR Project · · Score: 1

    *Anything* can be done...ClearCube Technology can send VGA 200 Meters on CAT5, http://www.clearcube.com/ but that does not mean it is to spec.

    BTW how much did that cable cost?

  4. Re:Video signal distance limits on The Mini-ITX Linux PVR Project · · Score: 1

    What is the distance limits for the vidao output?

    1 - 100 meters over CAT5 if you build a front-end

    2- 2 meters for video extension

  5. GBPVR on The Mini-ITX Linux PVR Project · · Score: 1

    GBPVR allows me to only have one box to support. I use a Hauppauge MVP ($40) for my front-end, it is noiseless and makes for a nice living room experience. Pluggins for everything you can imagine and if you can imagine it better you can write your own.

  6. Re:Some clarifications... on IRS to Allow Tax Preparers to Sell Your Info? · · Score: 1

    Mode Parent UP!

  7. Suggested reading for Mr. Donofrio on No More Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Great... on Windows XP on Intel Mac Confirmed · · Score: 1

    surely OSX on a commodity PC is what we're all waiting for??!

    This has been done. I know some guys who were at PowerPC. They shipped the first box that booted! Bottom line you may get it to work, but you will not get the Apple quality you are used to

  9. Re:Big Space Party Pad? on One REALLY Long Runway for Rent · · Score: 1

    I don't even like drinking with myself...why would I want to drink with a bunch of Science geeks, and Sci-Fi freaks

  10. Who Calls? on Dell to Buy Alienware? · · Score: 1

    One can only hope that Alienware support and hardware won't be ill effected by this acquisition.

    Who calls support these days?
    The only time I have someone call it is because they do not want to do it themselves. It is just a PC...

  11. Re:The progression at Texas A&M on NASA Public-Affairs Appointee Resigns in Disgrace · · Score: 2, Informative

    What about all of us Ag majors???

    I mean a poultry science degree from Texas A&M has worked for me.

  12. Re:Props to Tony Bove... on Interview with Tony 'Say No to Windows' Bove · · Score: 1

    TRS-80

    Tandy was Microsoft's very first corporate customer, but they told him no when Bill wanted to provide the OS for the TRS-80.

  13. Re:"Ultimate" Home Theater PC on Building The Ultimate Home Theater PC · · Score: 1

    I have the same setup, only it is a 13" TV and no surround sound. OK so it's not "the same", but it is cheap.

  14. Re:The UN has finally lost it on EU, UN to Wrestle Internet Control From US · · Score: 1

    Just a point. There are a few hundred million people in the US. All of them are not arrogant and conceited, any more than all the French are rude and smelly, all Muslims are terrorists, or all the Chinese are great at math.

    You forgot "all white people can not dance" oh wait that's true...

  15. Re:New Record on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I think that this could be the very first Slashdot thread composed entirely of AC posts.

    I'm not scared! The psychopath is also illiterate...

  16. Re:Casinos on 3D Face Cameras · · Score: 1

    Why would casinos want to keep compulsive gamblers out? Unless they're also compulsive winners...

    Liability. Once they have registered with the casino by law the casino is required to keep them out. So, the casino is responsible for all of there winning, losing and falling off of the wagon. In other words the casino gets sued.

  17. Casinos on 3D Face Cameras · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very cool technology. Casinos will most likely implement something like this first. In Nevada it is state law that if someone has registered as a compulsive gambler the burden is on the casino to keep them out.

  18. Re:LOL on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    Yes I realize what group I've just put myself in by making this comment.

    Self realization is the first step to enlightenment.

  19. Re:Welcome to Van Horn, Texas! on Jeff Bezos's Space Company Reveals Some Secrets · · Score: 1

    Whoop!

  20. Re:Uhhh.... DUH~! on PC Prices Reach $300 Milestone · · Score: 1

    Preach it, brother!

    Most people at /. think the hardest and easiest thing to do is use a computer.

    I am often confused...are we supposed to feel superior to everyone else, because we can use computers? or Are computers so easy to use anyone can do it?

  21. Re:Summary on The Laptop Supply Chain · · Score: 1

    Quanta is based in Taipei, Taiwan.

  22. Re:Future in the Microsoft space uncertain as well on Blackberry Future Uncertain · · Score: 1

    Oh and Microsoft is giving this away for free, so no need to buy RIM's enterprise software.

    They are NOT giving away Exchange 2003, which is required for push e-mail to work with Windows Mobile.

  23. Re:With photoshop... on FCC Pics of the IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the image on the screen rotate to portrait when in tablet mode?
