  1. Re:Wasp-sucker and marble crossbow on Building a Digicam from Scanner Elements · · Score: 1
    and it's not like they can't fly right back out once the suction is turned off.
    from that page:
    A piece of metal or cardboard can be slid in a gap where the hose connects to seal off the box, and the box just sits on top of the intake spout for the blower, so it can easily be removed from the machine for purposes of showing off one's catch.

  4. Re:Well, now that the cat is out of the bag on Public CD Copying Machine in Australia · · Score: 1

    It's not too hard for the US govt to tell the Aus govt what to do/ban... and I get the impression that it's not too hard for your 'culture'-industry to get the US govt to do/ban whatever.

  5. Re:Easy to Burn on Mac OS X on The State of Recordable DVD's · · Score: 1
    ) Burning on Mac OS X is dead simple. Insert media. Choose format type. Drag files to burn to recordable media icon which appears on desktop. Burn. Soooo much more simple than any program I'd ever used on Windows.

    >How does this promote progress?

    By allowing people to charge for it.

  7. Soundblaster sux on Constructing a Home Recording Studio on a Small Budget? · · Score: 1

    Soundblaster live is a gamers card, NOT a recording card. It only records at 48khz, and does on-the-fly samplerate conversion to 44.1.... NOT GOOD.

  8. Hooray, more white upper-middle-class babies! on Lab Develops Artificial Womb · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Monsanto = Microsoft? on Monsanto and PCBs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    jeez, and I thought the big difference was that Monsanto's conduct will lead to illness and death.

  16. Re:Guilt by association on Monsanto and PCBs · · Score: 1

    The point is that this particular proponent of GM orgnanisms has lied in a most appalling manner in the past, including changing conclusions in studies, in order to maintain profits.

    The poster has not said "GM is bad", but has shown that this proponent of GM is not to be trusted.

    But really, this is Monsanto we're talking about.... it's not like it's news...

  18. Re:Audigy on Slashback: Ford, Buccaneers, Hardware · · Score: 1

    What Processer have you got? I get playable latency (10-15ms) in Reason with SBlive. If you're going to get a decent soundcard, it wouldn't be the audigy.

    Look at the hoontech range!
