  1. Re:MegaCar on Your Holiday Present Wish List · · Score: 1

    But then you need the car to go with it. My choice:
    Ferrari Le Mans
    $1,000,000 US
    Hand built absolutly kick ass car.
    Then a place to park it:
    Since I live in Seattle, I'd take bill's place.
    approx. $53 million US

    Of course these are in the unlimited price range. Nothing else is quite as fun.

  2. Re:SCovery on Slashback: Retroaction, Breakeven, Kansas · · Score: 2

    It also takes proprietary ram modules, which means that any upgrade will cost you big.

  3. Re:Why bother? on Procom to Release NETBEUI for Linux · · Score: 1

    But unfortunately some older dos software only supports netbeui network connections. (Yes we should've upgraded them, but it works)

  4. Wider is better on Procom to Release NETBEUI for Linux · · Score: 1

    This has been something I've desired for sometime. It's nice to see wider networking support for linux.

  5. I liked that article on The Quest For Fusion · · Score: 1

    It was well written, and provided a decent amount of information on the subject. Personally, I hope that funding for this kind of thing is continued. They mentioned spending some $4bn over the last 4 decades on this. That kind of money is just a drop in the bucket when the budget is looked at. Even if the don't produce anything for another decade, that's still several deacdes before we're suppoed to run out of oil (altough that could happen sooner/later)

  6. Just one word.. on Remote Control Robotic Snakes · · Score: 1

    Fun! I'd love to play with one of these. Put a real looking skin on it, and have fun at the office...

  7. why not bsd? on Interview: Query Queen Elizabeth II's Webmaster · · Score: 3

    What made you choose linux as opposed to *bsd? From what I've seen of each, bsd would be better to run for security reasons, as I would assume that the server would be under pretty much non-stop cracking attempts, DoS attacks, etc..

  8. why windows only? on Chess Dispute: Kasparov vs. the World vs. MSN · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand about what microsoft did, is why'd they only allow windows users? I twas supposed to be kasparov vs WORLD not kasparov vs windows. If I could've voted at the beginning of the game I would've, but since only windows users could (and I didn't feel like firing up vmware), no voting for me.

    ah well, shouldn't have expected anything else from them..

  9. Re:Technology overcomes paranoia on Ikonos 1-Meter Resolution Earth Images from Space · · Score: 1

    But if this becomes a trend, and more companies put up satelites, then prices drop, etc...

    I don't think it'll be something that we'd need to worry about for another 3-5 years, but after that, who knows?

    Sorry bout the double post - -wasn't paying attention, and hit submit twice :(

  11. 1984? on Ikonos 1-Meter Resolution Earth Images from Space · · Score: 0

    Kind of scary that they'll be selling the pictures. If it's pictures of cities, and populated areas, I'd be worried that people could track movements of others [not that anyone would care about mine, but it's the thought of it all]

    Not much that you can do to stop it though, seeing as how you're allowed to take pictures of whatever you want [unless someone decides to copyright that] ;)

    Just my .02

  13. Re:And they were running...? on US Congress gets Spammed by Self · · Score: 1

    Odds are the client was outlook -- The older versions don't make it obvious who mail is to/from sometimes. One of the reasons I've made eudora my email client when I'm doing windows.


  14. Re:I have to know on Atlas of Cyberspaces · · Score: 1

    What would you have it look like? I mean, think about it. How DO you represent the net? Personally, I don't think there's much more you can put in that size of an icon.

  15. Re:CDROM.com on FreeBSD 3.3 Released · · Score: 1

    >Yes, please do support cdrom.com. They do a wonderful job supporting FreeBSD!

    Not only that, but they mirror many other places, and I can always get at least 40kb/s downloads from them. Very well run site.

  16. CDROM.com on FreeBSD 3.3 Released · · Score: 1

    Anyone know when cdrom.com will have cd's ready?
    I could download the iso and burn my own, but I'd like to support them.
