  1. Re:one down, two to go on NVIDIA Drivers for 2.6 Kernel · · Score: 1

    lirc support for NVidia (???) or for 2.6? lirc is working fine in my 2.6.2pre setup right now. Have it hooked up to XMMS (and soon mythtv) and i can't live without it now.

    I'm not in the dorms anymore, but I'm the resident geek around here too. I got 2 computer calls last night. I tell them straight up that it's gonna cost you a case of beer for fixin.

    ...Sounds like my drinks will be free this week!

    I don't know man. Last night, I met this absolutely gorgeous woman at the bar near campus, and we ended up talking about PROGRAMMING languages. I really don't wanna screw it up with this one.. this girl rocks!

    But fact is that there ARE some girl that dig dorks... sometimes you just have to find them. Or, in this guy's case, when he has ac ar like that, they can come find HIM!

  5. Yeah right on Microsoft's iPod-Killer: Portable Media Center? · · Score: 1
    Nothing that expensive is going to kill anything except the hopes of its producer.

    If you want to kill the iPod, give me iPod features at less than half the price. I don't need that extra crap, and I don't want to spend $600.

  6. at school on Downsides to Intrafamily IM? · · Score: 1
    I've been in college, and my mom's gotten quite handy with her computer. She loves to jump online and check out what i'm doing on my away messages (which is usually ending up in a gutter somewhere)... but that's fine by me, she knwos what she's getting into be seeing what I do!

    It's way easier to just say hi and a few quick things than calling -- sometimes it's just to leave a quick message even if i'm away.

    I also got a digital camera for xmas and have lots of pictures up too... haha they'll love all the beerse i hold!

    If you have sick ones, see your dentist about bleaching. I'm currently bleaching and it makes me so much more confident to smile

  11. Re:Don't waste your money on Tom's 46 Video Card Roundup · · Score: 1

    My qualification of "unless you game 24 hours a day" really meant just that -- unless you really know it's worth it. I was just speaking of depreciation for Joe User.

    Wow, good job spelling for being drunk! Does slashdot have a spellchecker now??

    Also, I must commend you for not cock-blocking your friend. Nobody likes a cockblocker, unless it's an incredibly funny story and involves a fat chick.

    How do you know Zond2 suffered a failed radio? I'm not familiar with it at all...

    It just seems like I could be incinerated in a pool of lava and you are saying I had a heart attack. Maybe I did, but the truth is that i really just got incinerated and you have no clue!

  14. Don't waste your money on Tom's 46 Video Card Roundup · · Score: 4, Insightful
    The biggest mistake I ever made when building a new computer was buying a $300 graphics card. Unless you game 24 hours a day, don't waste your money.

    Instead, money is best sunk in a good set of speakers and monitor -- these things depreciate way less. Along with that $300 graphics card, I also bought a 19" Sony monitor and Klipsch Promedia v400 speakers with my athlon 550 back in dec 99 (yep, still using it!). While that graphics card has long been in the graveyard, the speakers and monitor are still rockin along.

    My graphics card, however, was a 2nd rate GeForce2 for about 60 dollars that performs excellently for what I do.

    My opinion? Look for a good price gap on graphics cards and processors, and go with something a bit older than the newest. But splurge on the stuff that won't depreciate as quickly.... unless you game 24 hours a day.

  15. Cluster old stuff on Wikipedia Needs $20K · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a good answer, but why don't groups that need hardware ask for hardware donations (say your old p3-500) and cluster them all together? That'd solve the redundancy problem as well as the money issue. Maybe it's just no worth it for some reason which i'm unaware.

  16. Get Ready, Folks on Microsoft at the Tipover Point · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Linux is obviously going to gain some incredible market share in the server department.

    That said, start expecting to see exploits coming out a lot -- there's simply going to be more people attacking as well as using.

    Security problems are bound to happen. It's going to be up to us to prove that we can respond faster and more professionally than Microsoft. Get ready!

  25. Think about this on Iraq's Open Source Possibilities · · Score: 1
    I just came home a bit drunk from my friend's birthday party, so this was a nice present.

    But does anyone remember when 2.4.0 was released? I'm not going to go looking for quotes, but it basically ended up with a defeated Linus saying "here it is, oh well"... there is SO much more confidence in this release, its unbelievable.

    The 2.6 era is the one where we're going to say that it really took over. Everyone is quite pleased, which isn't the case when 2.4.0 hit the streets. It won't take 9 or 10 releases for 2.6 to gain acceptance. We're much closer.

    Good job to the lunix kernal team! :)
