  1. Re:A note to you nerds and geeks on Nintendo To ROM Sites: Forget Cease-and-Desist, Now We're Suing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I just use a retrode and dump them from my original carts. You can even backup your save progress.

  2. Bellsouth on FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Says Switching ISPs Is Too Hard · · Score: 1

    I still access to my bellsouth.net and aol.com email address and I haven't been with AT&T or AOL for years. If an ISP holds your e-mail access contingent upon subscription then they are quite shady and something should be done.

  3. Re:How stupid is a Mac Pro Cylinder? on Apple Shows Off New iOS 7, Mac OS X At WWDC · · Score: 2

    The G4 Cube was cool. It certainly will look nice next to a Thunderbolt monitor.

  4. Re:doesn't work on Why Your Users Hate Agile · · Score: 1

    That video hit way too close to home. Agile gets the small projects done really fast and delivers quality code. But when the roject owner doesn't have enough time to ever bother to run through the app and the project manager gets distracted by doing web design and sys-admin stuff. Agile turns into a disaster of never ending churn of nit-picky changes without ever getting the project out into production six months later.

  5. Re:optical disks still cost less then usb keys in on Hard Drive Revenue About To Take a Double-Digit Dip · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I switched to using USB drives to install the OS of a computer a long time ago. You can even keep them up to date with OS patches unlike burnt disks. Usually installs faster too.

  6. OpenBSD on How Do YOU Establish a Secure Computing Environment? · · Score: 1

    Read the all the docs. Install from CD. Don't panic.

  7. A monitor is just a distraction. on Word Processors — One Writer's Further Retreat · · Score: 1

    Send the command prompt output to a line printer. Ed is nice when you have everying on paper.

  8. Plans for multiple devices, on Mixed Reception To AT&T's New Data Pricing Scheme · · Score: 1

    Let me split up that 2 Gigs between the devices I use. Having individual data plans for laptop, netbook, tablet, pad, phone, car and whatever else I can jam 3G into is insane. Switched away from Cingular(ATT) when the first bluetooth cell phone they had charged me hundreds of dollars in data a month. On a supposidly unlimited plan billing would drop the charges but never prevented them. Had been fine using 9600 baud tether on BellAtlantic(VZW), my data plan was the voice plan. Let me use the gigs on any network and any device and I'll pay double.

  9. Huge mistake. on Obama's Space Plan — a Conservative Argument · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Without an active maned launch program I fear the United States will quickly loose our position of technical and scientific leadership. Already we have slipped to 9th in the world for science and technology education. If they money were to be invested in higher education I would be less worried but seeing as my tuition went up after North Carolina instituded a "education" lottery, well things just don't look good.

  10. Re:Notes on Pen Still Mightier Than the Laptop For Notetaking? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'd recomend a pilot vanishing point, only fountian pen i've used that dosen't get my fingers inky. http://www.namiki.com/collections/pilotVanishingPoint_RA.php Used the same pen for close to 4 years now. Gone through two tablet computers in that same time.

  11. Never needed a mouse. on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 0

    Mouse? What mouse, I use a teletype terminal all day and like it.

  12. Tablet PC is esential. on U. of Chicago Law School Blocks Internet Access · · Score: 0

    I extensively use a tablet PC to take notes during class. Since I'm a computer science student it really helps to be able to write notes on the source code the teacher uses during the lecture. For a writing class I decided to use pen and paper. Things got so disorganized that I dropped it. If I can't put a task in outlook to remind me to do something right when it is assigned then it just doesn't get done. I manage files between lab computers, my home computer, and laptop with SSH. Without internet access I would have to remember to copy stuff around. Never mind how many flash drives I've lost. You can take my tablet and wireless internet away when you provide a personal secretary.

  13. Patriot Act on Cringely on Domestic Eavesdropping · · Score: 0

    I thought the Patriot Act gave them these powers legaly. Isn't that up for review soon?

  14. but all trolling asside.... on MMORPG Evolution · · Score: 1

    I've played Legend Of The Red Dragon and Trade Wars on the ole 9600 baud up through the Realm and now long time Final Fantasy fan. On FF when I look for a party its not even generaly with people from my linkshell, just a couple of random strangers. Most of the time there are people who don't even share a common language as me. I'm not a hardcore gamer at all, i've had it 3 years and i'm only level 53 rank 5. I look at it just like any other medium, be it dvd, book, whatever. I tend too want too buy stuff from the same fantasy worlds i'm allready familar with.

  15. Where is the open source? on MMORPG Evolution · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It seems like OpenMetaverse would get some more developers with the popularity of this stuff. I never found a server that worked.

  16. Nuclear power, not distruction please, on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    It angers me so much. The people that live there are the same as us. Hopes, dreams, family and friends. I am a US citizen. I am proud to be in the country that devloped the internet. This is a direct result of Nuclear weapons. Atomic technology should not be feared and weapons do have there place.

    These oil producing countries are aware of the unsustainablity of oil. As a sane person would see nuclear power is the only way of producing power for the eventual population increase of the world. Allready in allot of these places, especialy Iraq, even in a large part of the USA power is a scarse resource. I say as an American no too pulling out of Iraq or any where in the world. Instead we should do some good instead of destroy. Have the entire country vitalized in a campaign too provide power and communications infastructure too every corner of the world. I say welcome to my friend the atom. I say cheers to the new nuclear/hydrogen ipv6 overlords.

  17. Re:2 Reasons not to go with Sony on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 1

    Hi-MD is a awsome format. 1Gb disks for $10, sonic stage perfectly copies my mp3 collection to the disk with automatic orginization. Even the latestest update adds mp3 ripping support too the software. I can also use the md player as a usb drive with any computer I want. It also records via analogue line in and can transfer uncompressed PCM wav data too the computer. It even can record via toslink fiber input. Don't bash a awsome tech just because they don't sell a unit worth anything in the United States. Take a trip too Japan and head down too Akihabara and you'll see MD is still kick'n.

  18. Retail Linux on IDC Proclaims Linux Is Now Mainstream · · Score: 1

    I'm absolutely shure that if you buy a computer from any retail store that offers pc-repair/install such as Best Buy, CompUSA they will install one of the boxes of Suse sitting on the shelf. I still order my OpenBSD cds from Canada, and buy hardware from newegg though.

  19. Re:PHP Worm response? on Debian 3.0r4 Released · · Score: 1

    Woo hoo I got a troll! Umn, what db should I use? I'm running a tiki-wiki. From my understanding with backups and chrooting it dosen't really matter if you get hacked.

  20. PHP Worm response? on Debian 3.0r4 Released · · Score: 1

    Is this in response to that php bbs worm? Now if I could just figure out how to sync mysql with a backup, I might give ole deb another try.
