  1. and yet another way open source can make money!! on Jon Maddog Hall on Linux, His Life and More · · Score: 1

    "Or having a REAL Unix licence plate on their wall, directly off my Jeep Wrangler. There is a long history behind that licence plate, and many, many copies of it were handed out by Digital (and now the Open Group) over the years, but not an ORIGINAL. And finally, a digital clock, made by my hands and signed by Linus Torvalds". Imagine that. Paying $23,000 to have a clock with Linus' signature. Or what would you give to have Mad Dog's license plate hanging on your wall? I hope this money making solution is included in the next round of articles, that cover "How to make money marketing and distributing open source software"

  2. what happens if the criminal panics..... on Tagging Devices To Aid In Car Chases · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What happens if the criminal panics?? More specifically, what will happen if the criminal thats being chased looks out his window and sees the cop aiming what looks like to be a gun at the car? Granted it would be pretty unrealistic to expect the officer to pull right up, point the thing out the side window and shoot while driving along side, but even so, one of three things could happen. The criminal can shoot back (very doubtful but who knows in a car chase). Or the guy can panic, loose control of the car, sending it into who knows where, or he can go at even faster speeds trying to lose the cop. Or he could just stop and the chase would be over ;) Its pretty obvious that these darts have to be shot discretely.

  3. Nice card...but i dont think ill upgrade. on NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS For AGP Launched · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This looks like a great card for someone with a AGP slot and a decent cpu to team up with the card, but if i did get this card it would be going in my game machine at the office. Just a AMD XP3000 which now has just a 5900 in it. All ive been doing is Guild Wars lately (when im working of course)and the game plays great on what ive got. This card will most likely be put into systems with slower CPU's and older motherboards and chipsets. Would be interesting to see a review that maybe showed how the card scales with a wide range of older and recent processors (didnt check any other reviews other than the HH link). Lets say from the XP2000 on up to recent chips (on the AMD side). Just som people know that they wont be wasting there money by tossing this card in there older machine.

  4. Guild Wars on Games That Keep You Coming Back? · · Score: 1

    Played through Guild Wars with 2 characters. Keep going back and now playing with 2 new proffessions...great game!!

  5. Lukes Training Orb (New Hope on Star Wars Props Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Now i wouldnt mind having Lukes training orb. You, know...the orb that Obi Wan used to train Luke to use the force while going to Alderan on the Falcoln. Blindfold the girlfriend, and have her swat at that a few times, while it scoots around a zaps her in the ass. Now thats entertainment :)

  6. Will this effect normal DS gameplay?? on Linux on Nintendo DS, Update · · Score: 2, Interesting
