  1. Similar Site on Command Line for the Web · · Score: 1

    I just thought I'd mention that I've been working on a similar site, called QueryAlong. The objective is a little different, but the end result is similar.

    QueryAlong

    Users can submit search engines and other queriable urls. I think QueryAlong's model is a little more complete too since it can handle multiple named parameters.

    For instance if you want to find all the queries that handle Zipcodes as their parameter:

    View Zipcode queries

    Take a look, sign up and play with it a bit. It's still being developed, and it resides on a server in our closet, but I think it's worth looking into.

    Also I'd love some feedback, this is a little project I've been toying with for a while.

  2. Re:I hope it's better than the BOOKS! on Sci-Fi Channel Making Dune Miniseries · · Score: 1

    How did they get to Dune in the first place? Not too difficult, while humans required melange to see paths through space, later in the series it is revealed that there are mechanical alternatives (I don't remember these since its been a while) but they later use machines which can see through fold space. It can be assumed that these existed before the revolution. --I could be totaly wrong, but I believe it was something along those lines

  3. Obsolete?? No, lemme tell ya about obsolete on $200 Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    You can surf the web just fine with an old Mac LC carrying about 10 megs of ram. I should know I did it for quite a while. Really! That little box packed 10 megs of ram, 540 meg hard drive, 14.4 modem, and a wicked 12" screen. Hey don't knock it, I could do everything any non computer minded person would need to do, get mail, surf the web, write papers... Oh well, it didn't play games though, thats what a 300 or so mhz machine is for :)

  4. Orwell would cry :) on iMac II to have LCD/Firewire/DVD/AirPort/new color · · Score: 1

    If you really want to simplify language, I suggest that you read George Orwell's 1984. One of the consequences of simplifying language was that it removed the possibility for entire concepts to be conveyed. For instance the entire term for freedom was replaced with 'thoughtcrime'. I should think Microsoft would dig Newspeak (The simplified English Language) They could replace all kinds of words with 'thoughtcrime'! Instead of 'picking up an awesome new iMac' you would have 'purchased doubleunplusgood computercrime' Sorry, intentional language modification always makes me think of 1984 ;)

  5. But does it have a Hard Drive??? on Microsoft Game Console · · Score: 1

    Thats the real question! If it has no hard drive then 'No' current games will run on it. Oh, but if it does run all the old games.... I'm hucking my MS box of evil out the window and picking up a G4 :) --NetGhost

  6. Re:Intel vs. AMD (or "The Little Guy Wins") on Microsoft Game Console · · Score: 1

    I think people are being silly about this ;) The only problem that I could see is AMD taking intel's place and becoming another Microsoft style chip manufacturer :( We need both companies to be on fairly equal ground, thats when we'll see the fastest innovation! --NetGhost

  7. You do mean Sony?? Or Sega right? on Microsoft Game Console · · Score: 1

    Nintendo is just the Microsoft of consoles. They make incredibly shoddy systems and then slap 'Nintendo!' on it... heard of this ploy before? I'd much rather support Sony or escpecialy Sega --NetGhost
