  1. Re:What about WAP... on A Motley Crew Beams No-Cost Broadband In New York · · Score: 1

    Don't use it, use IP sec if you want security.

    How does an 'evil corporation' take this over anyway?

  2. Re:theory on Gravitational Repulsion Effect Claimed · · Score: 1

    The first was shitty haiku, the second was a lame unrhyming limmerik...

  3. Re:the world of incompatibility on Palm to Shift to ARM Processor · · Score: 1
    • the hope was that there would be enough processing power to support fairly sophisticated voice- recognition capabilities.

    Speaking of power how long is a battery going to last for a 1 Ghz machine?

  4. Re:but... on Smart Car, Or Dumb Idea? · · Score: 1

    Who's to say that jokes that 90% of the population think are funny, I will think are funny?

    One of my favorites is:

    Q: What's the difference between a duck?

    A: One of it's legs is both the same!

    I'm sure Joe American will just go 'Duuh ... Huh?' at that one...

  5. Re:Its the software stupid! on First Internet Appliance With BeIA - From Sony? · · Score: 1

    Tell that to all the people who bought Ruby iMacs.

    The general public does not know what IE is, they only know what eMail it (if we are lucky) and what the web is.

    The people who the target for this is will only say "I can't see this movie", not "Hrm, this IA does not seem to support 3ivx or QuickTime."

    Oh, and this thing _does_ play Shockwave. =P

  6. BeOS is natively highly multithreaded. on What Debugger Is Best For Multithreaded Apps? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest you check out Be's platform and GUI debugger. As the OS is natively highly multi-threaded, they must have good tools to do the debugging. They also use gcc, so your stuff should be pretty portable to BeOS.

  7. Re:IDE not ATA66 on Rounding Out Your IDE Cables · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have found that a thin guitar pick does quite a good job, although it seems better to cut the cables starting from the middle, and make progressivly narrower strips.

  8. But when ... on Concept Artwork For Snowcrash? · · Score: 0

    OK, stop surfing the web for cool stuff and get that Engine done! ;)

  9. Re:Breaking News! on SETI@Home Gets An Upgrade · · Score: 1

    But was moderatated up to the impossible value of 6 because of it's philisophical implications.

  10. Re:Just waiting for the last 200 on Intel Snags PC Mhz Crown Back From AMD · · Score: 2

    Uhh, cryotech already has the Athlon running at 1000. Just because it is cooled, doesn't mean that it is not "officialy" at that speed. If that were the case, may Cray machines were "unoficially" overclocked from the factory =)

  11. Re:Looks like investor fraude on Subdermal Implant Can Be Tracked via GPS · · Score: 1

    There was an article in Wired magazine that I remember being about this sort of thing, and how much of a fraud it was. All the investors have lost every single cent they put into it. I would not be suprised if this was the same company.

  12. Re:Uhm, we're already exploring Mars. on Petition for Human Exploration of Mars · · Score: 1

    No they didn't, haven't you been reading slahsdot? ;)

  13. Re:Linux - Free but not Cheap on Java on BeOS, supported by Sun · · Score: 1
    Hmm .. who was it who said

    "Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing."

    Seems quite insightful to me.

  14. Where Oil _is_ from. on Oil Isn't from Dinosaurs & Other Iconoclasms · · Score: 1

    I always thought it was from plants .. there was a lot more vegetative matter than dinosaurs ... I thought this was widely known ...

  15. But will they cause ground loop problems? on Another Transmeta Patent · · Score: 1

    ... and cause a flurry of advice from a panel of trained slashdotters ;)
