  1. Re:You will need a headband for the overhead displ on Ready-To-Wear PCs · · Score: 1

    palm pilots are still pretty geeky--at least here on campus--but among engineers its kind of a badge of pride to have a faster niftier palm/CE some guy was asking me about mine the other day when i had it out, what surprised me was that he wasn't sneering--must have been an engineer

  3. OS on Microsoft vs. "Naked PCs" · · Score: 1

    even when it does come pre installed, the install ususally blows because it includes crap I don't want on it like INTERNET SERVICES and all the other addware/USE MICROSOFT INTERNET SERVICES crap that I don't care about. Granted the delete key gets rid of most of this, but i am happier when its not installed in the first place, so I don't have to keep deleting stuff. E-machines are horrible for this because they come with so much pre-installed stuff its not even funny. And the CD they give you dumps all this back on the HD if you re-install.

  4. user names on AOL Trying To Unify AIM And ICQ Services · · Score: 1

    I have like 6 ICQ accounts that I don't remember the password for... basically every time i re-install windows (every 6months or so to keep the registry size down) i get a new one... AOL i have like 4 AIM names... so its it 146 million individual users? or actually about 50million each with 3 screen names (average) Still a lot of people, but not nearly so stunning.

    I dont really know much about image processing, but since all glasses are doing is distorting the image to you eye so it looks normal, wouldn't it be possible (via sofware, RGB hardware) to do the corrections for the persons eye in the video system, so that the person could use it without using glasses...?

  10. Smaller DIE size=NO MORE OVERCLOCKING on AMD Ends Overclocking On Durons · · Score: 2

    one of my friends worked in an intel fab lab over the summer, and he is all worried about overclocking now... the smaller the pathways get on the actual chip, the larger the risk is that overclocking can actually destroy the chip.

    In stopping overclock, AMD is merely doing the same thing that manufacturers did when they made a safer system for electrical outlets: protecting the end user from damaging their product or themselves. Granted, overclocking a chip and burning it out is not going to physically hurt the end user (not compared to sticking a finger into an unprotected wall outlet) but when you find out that you just melted your new processor--you might punch a wall rather hard--which could physically hurt you ;)

  11. Re:Complicated... (USER AGREEMENTS) on Are 'Server Emulators' Legal? · · Score: 1

    if they are changing the user agreement with each patch, would it not then be possible to use and older version of the software (client side) and interface with the Emulator server...? I would think that they reason they can legally update the user agreement is because they are updating the program as well. IE after it is patched it is not the same program, so the same old user agreement does not apply.

    why would anyone want to use something that shows adds on it? I need to hurry and download the class files for quickbuddy before they fix the compatibility problems with their new java client.

    how about the original COMPAQ 8086? Its got 2 FULL HEIGHT drive bays, so you can fit 4 IDE devices in it, plus the old mainboards were so huge you could probably put 2 ATX boards in there...
