  1. Re:Dell referred to the memory makers as a cartel. on Infineon To Pay $160 Million For Fixing RAM Prices · · Score: 1

    I was referring more to Crucial's e-commerce site ,which has lower pricing on RAM upgrades when compared to Dell.

  2. Dell referred to the memory makers as a cartel.... on Infineon To Pay $160 Million For Fixing RAM Prices · · Score: 1

    .....no wonder their memory upgrades are so expensive. They should have just bought DRAM from Crucial. ;)

  3. Re:The beauty of a non-integrated browser........ on Critical Mozilla, Thunderbird Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've broken Oracle and web-based administration packages with IE patches. Luckily, these patches never reached the end users, otherwise my PC techs would be really busy. hehe

  4. The beauty of a non-integrated browser........ on Critical Mozilla, Thunderbird Vulnerabilities · · Score: 5, Insightful

    .....you can patch without fear of breaking a gazillion programs.

  5. "Timeshifted" on Time-Shifting For The iPod · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Timeshifted" is the new "previously recorded".

    So basically, if I understand this right, it's an app that records audio from the internet then automagically siphons it off to an iPod. Clever....even without the jargon and catchphrases.

  6. Re:What does this guy do for a living? on Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's more like this:
    15" LCD monitors (8x$0) - $0 Nvidia Quadro4 PCI video cards (2x$102.00) - $204.00 Windows frames (2x$20max) - $40.00 Decent computer - $600.00 Misc. Parts(wires, brackets, etc) - $250.00 Grand estimated total - $1094.00

    Even cheaper if he had the computer laying around. The window frames were just custom wood frames. Dirt cheap for materials.

  7. Cruel but awesome........ on Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels · · Score: 5, Funny

    I want to see the same concept executed using 30" Apple Cinema displays and have video of birds smashing into the "glass", like you're looking out of a skyscraper window.

    Nice.......UUUULF. :-)

    What kind of antenna did they use? "High gain" isn't all that descriptive.

    There we go.........my little brother won't keep his porn on one of these anymore. haha

  11. Will they merge Launchcast and MM..... on Yahoo! Buys Musicmatch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    so MM knows what you like and will better suit your musical tastes? That would be an interesting data-merge project.

    ...with the software. His recall of the procedures on how to disable certain features is certainly impressiv------------*buffering*

  13. I wouldn't say that "normal" users......... on Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers · · Score: 1

    ......are at greater risk. It's just that premium customers with lots of clients and very large pipes to the internet, can probably pose a greater *threat* and can propogate a worm/virus based on said vulnerability faster than the average internet surfing Office user.

  14. The UN would probably use this heavily on Speech Recognition in Silicon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With the advent hardware speech recognition, hardware speech translation is just the next evolution. Imagine being able to go to any country in the world and have just an iPod size device and a bluetooth hearing aid as a translator.

  15. 3Com's got a nasty habit..... on 3com to Compete with Cisco · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ....of discontinuing products and then removing every trace of that product on their website (firmware, manuals, etc) and that will keep me from ever buying or recommending their products. I have an entire wireless setup at home, 3 "Office Gateways" and some other gear (not in use) that I should just throw away because they don't even acknowledge its existence, much less provide me with a PCMCIA card driver or access point/router firmware.

  16. Internet Cafe on Jetway PT800TWIN - Dual User Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It looks like the perfect app for that would be in an Internet cafe with 2 15" monitors, keyboards and meese. Less maintenance and you can just re-image every morning before you open the doors.

  17. Re:HT on AMD Desktops Outsell Intel · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's called Dual Core. They're foregoing the "emulation" of a second chip and just puting it on the same core as the first.

    A little competition never hurt anybody.

    I remember that one, but I didn't take time to readup on it as Symantec did a good job of cleaning it from all the infected machines before it had a chance to wreak havoc on my network. Good show!

    That is what I want to know!

    In all seriousness though, what is the ratio of cluster to big iron in supercomputing nowadays? I know a clusters can scale out to a lot of FLOPS, but what is the highest FLOPS processor available?
