  1. Re:Buy now, only legal until July 1 on Microsoft Licenses Analog Anti-rip Technology · · Score: 2, Funny

    Anybody else read that a couple times and read it as Riscombabulator Remodulator Requirements?

  2. Re:Sudden Motion Sensor on Apple Updates PowerBooks · · Score: 1

    Changes in velocity cause problems. Especially large changes in velocity. If the hard drive and the heads are moving at the same speed, the heads will hover above the platters. A large change in velocity could cause the head to impact on the platter possibly causing data loss or platter damage.

    But the sticker is doing something! Its generating conversations and probably even receiving money from the really gullible...

  4. Re:I love this quote.... on Intel Sonoma UK Launch Party · · Score: 1

    Most people don't have access to clusters to do work. Heck most people barely have 2 computers, 1 at home, one at work.

  5. Re:Hmmmm on Microsoft to Sell Outlook Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Most 'free' online thingies are trying to find out how to make money of their 'free' services. Didn't we learn in the dot-cot boom that free doesn't work without a way to pay for it?

    How would they know you have a firewall? unless your ip is out there for something else, etc?

  8. Re:Ce La Vie (in bad accent) on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have a pentium III 733 and a hauppage wintv pci card thats over 4 years old, and it records really nice movies. Dscaler and virtual dub are great with it. might be the included software, or that it comes with a onboard mpeg encoder that doesn't work very nicely.

  9. Re:DCE, Microsoft and DCOM on Open Group Releases DCE 1.2.2 as Free Software · · Score: 1

    So, its uniqueness is based on a supposedly unique number? That doesn't quite make sense to me.

  10. Re:Best line from the article on Torvalds on the Linux Security Process · · Score: 1

    A response to a packet is more exposed then just ignoring a packet. Responding gives the attacker knowledge that the target exists.

    And started the war on americans because we didn't like someone and took him and everybody around him out? no?

  12. Re:Elevator go up on Jeff Bezos to Build Space Center · · Score: 1

    No, it needs to be able to stay at a non moving spot on the earth. The only place for this to happen is in geosynchronous orbit, which is near the equator.

  13. Re:Directories on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the point of this be that you don't care about directories? You just want to find something?

    A laptop.

  15. Re:Living Computers? on MIT Making Computer Parts from DNA · · Score: 1

    Limited? We have many many input output ports that we can modify. We can remove pieces, and put them in other bodies. The only thing we're having problems with is restarting the kernel, or building a new one...

    Results oriented customers.... vs what? the customers that don't really care and will buy anything? oh, i get it. n/m me.

  17. Re:As long as the keyboard? on In The Beginning Was The Command Line, Updated · · Score: 1

    If you're trying to code by speech, wouldn't you use a language that is more like english then like gibberish pouding on the keyboard by monkeys? I think i've heard that python and or ruby are like this? I also seem to remember a program called hypertalk where you told the computer how to do stuff with english like grammer.

    High pressure high temperature water might not make a good source of drinking water for us, but some bacteria thrive on it on earth.

  20. Re:Which is bigger? on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    No annoying people around you, uncomfortable seats, unable to stop if you need to use the facilities, obnoxiously overpriced food, need i go on?

    I'd pay for it, mainly because the closest theater to me thats any good is over 40 minutes away.

    Though I do go to the movies, but i tend to go late at night when you're like 1 of 10 in a theater, makes it a better experience imo.

  21. Re:I think you mean Firewire is the next USB on Possible uses for Power over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    You could locate a power converter next to or near your servers and or your root hub. This would put it out of the way and eliminate the need of additional wall worts as long as you buy devices that can use this power.

  22. Re:Tools on EU Moves Forward with Data Retention · · Score: 1

    Making it simpler to set up, and just allowing people to click send and it could happen. Asking people to do anymore than they are already doing and people won't do it.
