  1. Re:why does your phone need software running on yo on iTunes: Still Slowing Down Windows PCs After All These Years · · Score: 1

    You can use the SC in the command line to enable the service when you need it and disable it when you don't using a BAT file. (sc config servicenamehere start= disable)

    Well, clearly this will never be the year of the windows desktop until users never have to interact with the commandline for anything. They should scrap entirely in fact because users should never need it.

    Right click on 'My Computer' -> Click 'Manage' -> Expand the tree and find 'Services' -> right click the service you would like to disable -> click 'Properties' -> disable it -> click ok.. Yes, because that's so much easier than running that simple command. :P

  2. HoloDesk? I have dyslexia damn it! on "Holographic" Desk Allows Interaction With Virtual Objects · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else misread that as holodeck, not desk? Way to get my hopes up summary.

    Seriously, who on /. cares about what a celebrity searches for?

  6. Re:If you can't handle the concept of dark matter on CERN Physicist Says Dark Matter May Be an Illusion · · Score: 1

    Funny thing about science, it's not evidence that generates a hypothesis. The hypothesis causes the scientist to come up with an experiment to test his theory (hypothesis), this experiment can either support it and make evidence, or refute or damage his hypothesis. And the merry-go-round goes on and on. :)

    What if you just put a smart card reader on the camera, and use insert-smart-card-issued-correctly-here with it?

  10. Re:Ive been wanting to get into HAM on Ham Radio Still Growing In the iStuff Age · · Score: 2, Informative

    but i cant really put a big antenna on my apartment building.

    KD0KYW here, you don't need a big antenna to break into HAM. I only have a handheld 2 meter radio with a 1/4 wave antenna on it. With that radio I can hit repeaters 20+ miles away and have conversations with people way farther away than that. :) If you're in the basement you might not have as much luck, if you're high up you'll do well. My advice: Get a license and see where that takes you. (Oh yeah, I'm 19 btw, so we're not all old)

  11. Re:Ham Radio on Ham Radio Still Growing In the iStuff Age · · Score: 1

    KD0KYW here, I'm 19 and my license came yesterday (yeay! I'm one of those teenagers with a license) You can get a radio and station without a license, however, keep your finger off that transmit button.

    My god that is scary, I'm 19 and I still remember the internet take-off (to an extent)
    By then Google will own me and my family though, so I guess I should accept that now.

  13. Re:User action? on Google Voice Mails Found In Public Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Power goes out? You think I would rely on the power company for my precious servers? Hell no. I have my own generators - an array of solar, wind, steam, and diesel. It's all within the 18 million dollar budget.

    You left out coal, oil, and nuclear. I have 3 of each sitting in my back yard. (solar, wind, steam, and diesel)

    So if you can detect that the user is attempting to install a keylogger, shouldn't you log them out and disable their account?

  19. Re:Now how about an ESX Client? on VMware Releases Open Source Virtualization Client · · Score: 1

    What company builds their product on top of Linux and then builds a GUI client that only runs on Winders?

    You don't remember the Sharp Zaurus do you? It is built entirely on linux but won't sync with it.

  20. Think you know what you are talking about? on Tech Vs. Business? · · Score: 1

    I intern for the head computer tech at a school, and every teacher assumes every problem is with "The Server" which seems to be a magical entity that controls all. Firefox being slow? It's the server's fault. Can't print to a TCP/IP printer? It has to be the server. It would be nice if they didn't think they knew what they were talking about, because then I wouldn't get a headache whenever I talk to them.

  21. More reason for a mesh network on Virgin Media To Spy On & Threaten Downloaders · · Score: 2

    I mean seriously, if they disconnect 6.5 million people from their network, why wouldn't that same 6.5 million people simply be like, oh wait, we don't need them. We can just make a huge network that will be faster and cheaper with WiFi routers and collaberation.

    "I have read about how people perceive time to slow when they are in a situation that causes an adrenaline rush."

    Oddly enough, the opposite happens to me sometimes when I get an adrenaline rush. Sometimes I perceive time to quicken, sometimes to the point where I can (from my perception) read books near-instantly, and see old ladies in walkers walking to their cars at 60mph. It's an odd occorance, but it is kind of fun when it happens.
