  1. Re:Wireless may work? on Poor Man's Whole House Audio? · · Score: 1

    I actually did this in my last house (a townhouse). We had a whole house speaker system, and connections where I hooked up an amplifier with a built-in radio, but that was all in the basement, and my computer (and all of it's music) was upstairs in my study. My solution was to use the FM Transmitter we had bought for our iPod (which has both a car adapter and a wall adapter)...Plugging into the computer proved to produce good sound quality, which I was surprised about, and I didn't have to move my computer or run extra cables!

  2. At least.... on PlayStation 3 Unveiled · · Score: 1

    It mentions some potential for compatibility with the PSP...this was one of the reasons I held back on buying the handheld console. Although it's interesting that the Playstation 3 does not include some sort of a UMD player (perhaps the PSP will load UMD format games onto the Playstation 3?)

  3. Re:I wonder.... on Monkeys Adapt Robot Arm as Their Own · · Score: 5, Funny

    And flinging poo. Dear god, just imagine what damage three poo-flinging arms could inflict...

  4. I wonder.... on Monkeys Adapt Robot Arm as Their Own · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...was there a particular reason they were working with two female monkeys? Are they less aggressive and easier to work with or are they more adaptable than male monkeys? Either way, this is an amazing discovery.

  5. Is it just me... on Phishers Using Keystroke Loggers · · Score: 1

    ...or does resorting to using a keylogger just make you a regular ol' hacker? I thought "phishing" referred specifically to using social engineering tactics to get people's info. When is a phisher not a phisher?

  6. I'm amazed... on Gates on Google · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...that Gates actually allowed an article like this to be posted. Normally, the big machine in Redmond shows no fear, even in the face of major competition from Linux and FOSS.

  7. Obligatory.... on Revenge of the Sith a "Blood Bath" · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome the slaughter of our new Jedi Masters.

  8. Re:India in headlines... on India Launches World's First Stereo Imaging Satellite · · Score: 1

    India has been in the headlines a lot lately, and not much of it has been anything horrible. Not to shabby for a country that just got it's dependence not even 60 years ago.

    And even more amazingly, they later achieved independence...

  9. Re:Another Option on Repair Costs for Hubble Are Vexing to Scientists · · Score: 1

    That totally makes sense...why spend a bunch of money to fix up an old, used car if for about the same amount you could buy a new one? And if working for the government has taught me anything it's that 1) The government has a lot of money (namely, ours) 2) It is willing to spend it 3) It is often willing to throw out something old if it just makes sense to buy something new (which is not always a good thing, but in this case it works).

  10. Re:PDAs on Setting up a High-Tech Language School? · · Score: 1

    Even just having PDAs loaded with eBooks on topics that are relevant to your material would be a huge help. By having the course material with them all the time (without the back breaking weight of most backpacks filled with books), they will appreciate their classes more.

  11. Interesting coming from.... on SCO To Counter Groklaw With 'Fair' Coverage · · Score: 1

    ....a former "open-source bandit". The fact that SCO has turned around from being a Linux vendor to a software sheriff undermines every argument that they have. That and the fact that, the old west may have had bandits, but it was those same bandits that turned around and eventually settled down and founded Las Vegas. And who doesn't like Vegas ?

  12. Re:lol... on Genesis: Data in good condition · · Score: 1

    I'm just amazed that for $264 million they couldn't afford...at least two parachutes? Other space probes have hi-tech backup computer systems, hi-tech backup power systems...but it doesn't mean much if they data they are carrying can't make it back to earth because of low-tech landing gear.
