  1. 144Kbps is still pretty cool on New Orleans to Deploy Free Wi-Fi City Wide · · Score: 1

    Even doing a free city-wide 144Kbps wireless network would be pretty cool.
    My city sure ain't got that.

    At that speed you can check your mail, send mail, chat, etc.

  2. Re:DVD stutter on VLC Media Player 0.8.4 is out · · Score: 1

    On your sugestion I upgraded my video drivers. I worked better -thanks- but still stutters a bit. I have a Matrox G550. Now with version 5.93.9.0 drivers.

  3. Multiple studies on Windows vs. Linux Study Author Replies · · Score: 1

    I bet Microsoft (who is loaded) commissioned multiple studies with somewhat credible people. Eg different time periods, different assumptions, etc. Some will favour Windows and some Linux. They just don't release the Linux-friend ones and voila, a Window-friendly study by a credible guy.

  4. DVD stutter on VLC Media Player 0.8.4 is out · · Score: 1

    Too bad, this new version still stutters when playing DVDs on my Windows 2000 box.
    1.7G Hz should be fast enough. Any suggestions.

  5. Re:Mature? on Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I used each new Fedora in production. The only problems I had was.. my own code had to be recompiled. Its be a nice ride.

  6. Re:Off to Debian on Red Hat Begins Testing Core 5 · · Score: 1

    Does that mean the up2date front-end is going to retired in favour of the yum command? Why have two commands that just use the same back-end!

  7. But still don't buy one on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't do it if it didn't help them (evil) selves!

  8. Windows Media Player for Firefox on Linux on Windows Advantage Validation Process On Firefox · · Score: 1

    ... would be nice.

  9. const on More Effective Use of Shared Memory on Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suppose everything marked const could be shared.

  10. We are a military nation on Army Develops New Chewing Gum · · Score: 1

    Seems all tech has to be aimed at the military these days. This gum, the robot controls humvees. The Penagon has all the money. Too bad. Would be nice to see some science with a non-military angle.

  11. Same Formula on Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously · · Score: 1

    All these "coincidences" show that the six movies all follow the same formula.

  12. Re:One Reason Alone is Enough on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's what firewalls are for. Not NAT.

  13. Re:How is this news? on OpenDocument Gains New Fans · · Score: 1

    Well, yes. Sometimes even Microsoft's direct competitors have trouble breaking away.

  14. Why hardware? on Cisco To Unveil Wireless Mesh Hardware · · Score: 0

    OK, I admit I haven't RTFA but it seems to me that WiFi plus some nice software should make a mesh. Doesn't seem like a hardware thing to me.

  15. Re:Indexes on How Would You Improve SQL? · · Score: 1

    Indexes should be hidden from the SQL programmer by now. Just like C compuilers basically ignore the "register" directive and make "should I put this in a register" decisions for the programmer.

  16. I can see situations on TV On Mobiles: Not Yet There? · · Score: 1

    Say you aren't at home but the big game is on. Or a big news event occurs, etc.
    Also I can see the appeal for teenagers who don't control the family TV.

  17. Re:Boring, pointless, irrelevant on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 1

    I prefer MONEY as an bonus for doing good work. But, hey, I wouldn't mind a statue too. Why not. But make it bronze.

  18. Re:And What about on Google Desktop 2 Live · · Score: 1

    And the URL for "yahoo's new mind blowing map" ?

  19. Re:Corporate dishonesty on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 5, Insightful

    > This sort of dishonesty is becoming more and more rampant in corporate culture ...

    Becomming?
    This is Microsoft...its the way they have always been.

  20. Would be nice if... on Andy Tanenbaum Releases Minix 3 · · Score: 1

    Some genious would come up with a patch to micro-kernel-ise Linux.

  21. Lightbulb socket on The End Of The Light Bulb? · · Score: 1

    I recall when phone jacks switched from those big honkers to RJ-45's. Seems that soon we'll have to switch to a more compact standard for lightbumbs. Otherwise the connector will dominate the size of the LED "bulb".

  22. Re:It's about damn time! on The End Of The Light Bulb? · · Score: 1

    Unless you give in a cold place -- where its nice of have as many sources of heat as you can get. Also, what about the fate of Easy Bake Ovens?!

  23. Video != Audio on Ars Technica Vivisects A Video iPod · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You can ride and bike or walk listening to music from an iPod but you can't do those things with video. I am not so sure this is the right format for video.

  24. Re:please stop on Google's Rasmussen on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Guess what, whether or not AJAX should be called AJAX... it is now.
    Someday it will even be Ajax.

  25. Re:Zimbra on Open Source AJAX Webmail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Good luck changing the name of AJAX to REST.
