  1. Asus eee pc on Best Technology For Long-Distance Travel? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd recommend an eee pc from Asus. I've got mine running a slim version of windows XP, a 16gb sdhc card pops the free disk space to about 19gb, 2gb of ram, and with a bit of patching, you can even run oblivion on it (albeit at extremely low settings). I swiped this one off craigslist for 100 bucks a few days ago, so they're pretty cheap if you know where to look.

  2. I can back these claims on Time Warner Filtering iTunes Traffic? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm in San Antonio TX right now, and Itunes has been so slow since thursday, to the point of being completely unusable. Whereas downloading albums or tv shows would take a few minutes, I'm now looking at an expected wait of 4 hours for a 3mb download. I thought it might have been issues with the itunes servers, but kudos to the article for shedding some light on the issue.

  3. Re:Ron Paul Denouement on McCain, Clinton Win New Hampshire · · Score: 1

    Yeah, cause printing money without anything backing up makes a lot more sense.

  4. Re:Adderall and Inderal on the same page? on 'Mind Doping' Becoming More Common · · Score: 1

    Modafinil is in widespread use because of its non-addictive properties. And it has also been used as a means to help people who are addicted to amphetamines. Just because Modafinil is schedule-IV , doesn't mean it has addictive properties.

  5. Re:Didn't notice on Xbox 360's Jamming Wireless Signals? · · Score: 1

    Going to have to agree myself, running 2 desktops, 3 laptops, and the 360 on two access points, and I've noticed no interference. Seems like FUD to me.

  6. FINALLY! on Open Source 'Sage' Takes Aim at High End Math Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think a lot of us can agree that open source software like this should have been developed YEARS ago, so I'm glad to finally see a good alternative to MATLAB and Mathematica out, I was getting kind of tired of pirating my Mathematica software. Plus with the added benefit of being scripted in Python, I'm sure this project is going to take off like wildfire.

  7. Re:Bombs won't do it on House Bill Won't Criminalize Free Wi-Fi Operators · · Score: 1

    America will *legislate* itself into the Stone Age. Maybe not that far back... I was thinking 1984 or so.
  8. Well if there are bets being placed... on The $10 Billion Poker Game Begins · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm betting google will come out with everything it intended to.

  9. Atropine is SCARY on New Nerve Gas Antidotes · · Score: 1

    I remember way back when, drinking some belladonna tea to get the hallucinatory effects of atropine.. http://erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=30718 My experience posted up on Erowid, gah it's scary stuff.

  10. Re:I'm know one congressman who probably voted on U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat · · Score: 1

    HE'S MAKING WEED LEGAL????

  11. Whoa on Ex AT&T Tech Says NSA Monitors All Web Traffic · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thats a LOT of porn!

  12. Is it just me.. on Dvorak Says gPhone is Doomed · · Score: 1

    or does every time Dvorak speak about something, it sounds like the ramblings of an old crazy homeless man...

  13. Re:Already been done... on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 2, Informative
  14. Already been done... on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 1

    I hate to be the one to say it, but this has already been done in the past.. http://thedailyleaf.com/brain_god.txt Though I assume this one is done non-invasively..

  15. Mythical Man Month on Trans-Atlantic Robots · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'd do it one weekend, in assembly, on paper.

    And it would probably compile in one shot.

  16. Can someone explain please on AMD Unveils SSE5 Instruction Set · · Score: 1

    Can someone explain how a 64bit processor can run 128 bit instructions, or what this actually means? Thanks

  17. Oh great on BioShock Installs a Rootkit · · Score: 2

    Here we go again. *sigh*

  18. Perfect Timing! on Security Flaw Found That Allows Control of iPhone · · Score: 1

    I'll be ariving in Vegas on the 1st for Defcon this year, so sneaking into Blackhat to see this presentation will definitely be on the top of my list of things to do.

  19. Pretty 'cool' on Dell To Sell Advanced Server Cooling Systems · · Score: 1

    It will be nice to start seeing these in our datacenters (hopefully sometime soon). Considering half of our servers are probably dell, that's a good 15k potential installations.

  20. Re:PFFT on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    ServerBeach tried hiring me back in february, and tried telling me how more "laid back" they were than rackspace. Coming from a place where there are no drug tests, parties all the time, free training, etc. I really doubt it. I don't want to get into specifics, but I'll say that any place i can keep a tall one in my desk , is a place i want to be.

  21. Re:PFFT on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 1

    We're pretty much moving for sure, just finalizing some deals with the city.

  22. PFFT on Best Places To Work In IT · · Score: 4, Informative

    USAA Is on the list, and its considered one of the WORST places to work. My Company was voted #1 place to work in San Antonio, OVER USAA, and guess what? We're a TECH company (Rackspace Managed Hosting). I'm glad I don't base my career choices off of lists like these.

  23. From TFA on Microsoft Evasive on 360 Hardware Changes · · Score: 1

    Most of this guy's responses are , "we don't comment on that". not "we CANT", specifically, "we don't".

  24. Tom Cruise Missiles on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 3, Funny

    What was the joke about Tom Cruise Missiles?
