  1. Bad News Everyone! on Americans Gearing up to Fight Global Warming · · Score: 0

    Nuclear Winter is a Myth.

  4. Re:Ogg support! on World's Most Expensive Mp3 Player · · Score: 0

    The T-30 from iRiver has been supporting ogg, but again it has the MTP. It is also important to note MTP can be used in linux with gphoto as MTP is similar to PTP. Winamp now supports both MTP and iPods.

    Pink is not too bad on a black background. But don't take women for their looks. I would love to go out with women that a dying virgin slashdotter would not want to even think about being on the same planet as them.

  6. Re:Eh... on Windows Vista Capable Machines Coming · · Score: 0

    I've seen WinXP run on 64 MB or RAM. It was an old Pentium II 266 MHz notebook, running WinXP. Suprisingly it was not much worse than Win2K in the same situation. I've run (in a troubleshooting excersise only) WinME on 16 MB of RAM (one of the simms was replaced with a BAD one).

  7. Re:Bah Vista compatible. on Windows Vista Capable Machines Coming · · Score: 0

    Actually Duke Nukem Forever is also coming to the Atari 2600 (VCS). This is not an April Fools joke.

    Nope only the unicorns will have dicks on their heads. You read right, dickheads.

  9. Re:First (or near first) post on China Buys Google · · Score: 0

    OK, no more screwing around. The article shows pictures that accurately display what china would do to google. While this will not happen it is possible that this will give the tech industry a bettery view of what everyone thinks of china.

  12. Re:Follow the standards!!! on OpenSSH Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I grew up with kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes being multiples of 1024. While kilohertz, megahertz, and gigahertz being multiples of 1000. I grew up during the '90s. Normally I would post this as AC, but it's April fools day so I will post it normally (might get an insightful).

  13. Kilobeer on OpenSSH Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess that this will only allow the sending of one kilobeer.

    I say to at least double or triple that. If you can cut through steel like air, you can probably cut through tungsten like butter.

  19. Re:Wait a second... on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    The local (30-40 miles away) drive-in is the same way, plus there is no smuggling (you are allowed to bring your own snacks, beer, etc.) Prices are like $5 a person (don't hold me to that). On normal weekends they show two movies and on special weekends they show three (same price or lower for the three).

  20. Re:WTF is wrong with these people? on Will Apple Disappoint on 30th Anniversary? · · Score: 1
    That, and I'm hoping if Apple does a phone they will figure out something better than the 12 phone buttons in a grid.
    Ok, we both fell on this one. I hope that apple will come out with a phone that has the option of a true rotary dial.
  21. Re:Bootlegs often aren't bit-by-bit on DRM and the Myth of the Analog Hole · · Score: 1

    Yes, component video will be availble on both formats. I don't know about blu-ray but HD-DVD does give the studio the OPTION to reduce the resolution. Even if the studio enables this option you will see something around 720 lines (better than the 480 lines of DVD). I'm looking to the HD formats more for data storage than video. This is because I have my DVD system hooked up to a 20 inch TV with a Composite connection.

  22. Re:FYI on Japan's Gaming History Now Safe · · Score: 1

    They are a lot diffrent than us, I for one, Only buy used consoles (handhelds and PCs are exceptions). The newest console I have is the N64, but I do play my NES, SNES, Genesis, Tubrografx and so on. Hell, I didn't get a new handheld since I got my GBA in 2001.

  23. Re:Would a different approach be better? on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 1

    While I don't agree with this, he is within the law (until he throws a chair). Non-Ipod players are as good or better than the iPod, but I don't want to be flamebait. I disagree totally about the google thing. I had a teach block out google. The purpose of this was if *.google.com is blocked so is gmail.google.com. Back ontopic, yes, Balmer is within the law. I don't think this is fair, but it is his right as the parent.

  25. Re:Same with WiFi and cell phones on Electrical Noise Causing Physiological Stress? · · Score: 1

    I sometimes have trouble with fluorescent lights. Under the right conditions, 70 Hz and 120 Hz flicker can make me drowsey. The strongest one is 120 Hertz, Cool White fluorescent on a rainy day. I haven't had the problems since last year in my social studies classroom (I just graduated high school). In that room all of the lights were in phase. When I took an eval out at CTI, I didn't have that kind of trouble even on rainy days. I guess it is a combination of several factors, but I only had the problem with 120 Hz and a couple times with 70 or 72 hertz. I might have also been some dirty power in the lights too. There was a shop classroom on the neighboring side and the school is over 40 years old. Note to Mods: Light is EM as well as photons. This post is ON TOPIC (otherwise I would post AC).
