  1. Re:horsepower and bandwidth on Viiv 1.5 May End Traditional Media PCs · · Score: 1

    .. a wireless solution (...) is not yet enough for good video..

    That's because you're still using ethernet.
    My home media centre has Mbone Wifi®.

  2. Microsoft Word on Viiv 1.5 May End Traditional Media PCs · · Score: 1

    Isn't long cables to you elsewhere placed computer enough?

  4. Distinguishable difficulties on Consumer Problems with Blu-ray and HD-DVD · · Score: 1

    ... anticipated difficulties in distinguishing between the two formats ..

    Summing up
    HD-DVD is a DVD movie copied to a harddrive, right? Hd-dvd.
    Blu-ray is just the same, but has Bluetooth enabled, so you can transmit the movie to your cellular phone, your wireless headset or your keyboard.
    They plan on making LED display so that when you use Blu-ray, blue rays will be emitted in a visible range. This way, you'll have visual confirmation when you're breaking the warranty.

    Just thought I'd clear that up.

    If Washington paid a translator salary of $200,000, hordes of translators would suddenly appear out of the woodwork.)

    That's it! They're in the woodwork! Gas 'em outta there!

  6. Re:As a programmer... on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    I recant my opposition, then.
    Yes, but that would only count as fifty percent support. Who knows? In some other region you voted otherwise..

  7. ALL YOUR BASE! (*crackpot*) on What Would We Lose From a Regionalized Internet? · · Score: 1

    I created my own internet six years ago. We have a nameserver down by the stairs, public mail servers in the basement and some malicious botnets in the attic.
    It's fully evolved, and by the time the rest of you have died painfully in the post-nuclear winter, I will be surfing safe and sound in my very home.

    You see, regionalization won't save your ass. You're done for and fried.
    In the year 4000 my descendants will have spread my net to the entire globe and your puny plans will FAIL! (Since 1 net will be 1 region, so there would be no sense talking about regions.) I call it Web 4000.

    It's based on *nix, but I have a few Windows boxes to account for the x factor.
    All my children passed the Turing test at the age of three.

    So the question you must ask yourself is not whether you'd lose something from a regionalized Internet, but how much you can donate to my project (I use PayPal) to save a seat for your seed in the New Era.
    It's never too late to give up!

  8. Re:Visualisation is the only thing he's good at no on The New Force at Lucasfilm · · Score: 1

    But the still pictures are very nice.
    Yes, but it is their aggregate that makes the films. And they suck.

    What these films lack is charisma. (I haven't seen III yet, and my brother tells me it's the most SW-type of film. But it definitely goes for I and II.)

    A ring oscillator is a device composed of an odd number of NOT gates whose output oscillates between two voltage levels So, if it's NOT gates, what is it then?

  15. Bruce Willis on Vonage Puts VoIP 911 Caller on Hold · · Score: 1

    Wait, wait, I've seen this one!
    It's because the "terrorist" has wired the fake bomb at the primary school so that it responds to police communication frequencies. But then someone puts it in the news and 911 gets totally overloaded with traffic from worried parents. Like a ddos.
    I suspect 50-60% would just have to hold in such a situation.
    They're gonna have to wait anyway, till that fat guy with the glasses finds out that it's just a fake one. The real one is one that tanker where the gold - supposedly - is.
    But Bruce Willis knows better.

  16. Re:not the right way to start on Brits To Crash Test a Scramjet · · Score: 1

    Because the British investigated the crashes so thoroughly

    It's got nothing to do with thoroughness. Brits always sit down to have a cup of tea and watch the on-going cricket match. They were probably serving some chocolate chip cookies when someone tripped over the crucial evidence.

    After all, that's how they won WWII. They were making an intercontinetal transmission device so that the Commonwealth could watch cricket in-between air raids, when someone accidentally found out it could be used to spot airplanes. It became the radar.
    Newton defined the gravitational laws to help out his favourite tennis team.

    I know, I've been to the UK, and watched the changing of the guards.
    They had this little goat with the royal emblem.

  18. ms exchange server on Sendmail Hit by Data Interception Flaw · · Score: 1

    Actually it's the Microsoft Exchange Server that does alle the security.

    It's got an 80% downtime and keeps lagging out, so if you check back in a few years when the mail gets through we'll maybe have a problem. But then we'll be like all Windows Vista n shit, and sendmail will be all transparent, so you can see where the error is.

    The real question is whether they'll remove sendmail from Duke Nukem Forever because of this?

  20. *cough* on It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware · · Score: 1

    Dell is known for using custom parts

    I think you misspelled 'cheap'.

    But seriously, they buy up cheap stuff and re-name it. This makes it harder to check out the hardware when you first have to look up who really made it. Man, have I struggled with getting "Dell" network cards to work with my workplace's network architecture. Some software (like Cisco VPN) simply doesn't work with "Dell" hardware.
