    X-crap popups, because I lead a sheltered life as well...

  2. Re:This is also a problem in medicine on Faulty Chips Might Just be 'Good Enough' · · Score: 1

    Problem is alot of the electronics I see is far from perfect in the first place. Any crappier and I expect my monitor to erupt into a firey ball of glassy shrapnel next time I try subnetting an ip. :-)

    I didn't know those were still in existance...

    I have to point out though, school work is typically unproductive. It'd be nice if that changed somehow.

  5. Re:Mensa means a whole different thing in Spanish. on MSN Sponsors Mensa · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'll make a language where all the really common words of other languages are horrible horribly bad evil vile words.

    "Dude, you can't say 'the', that means @#$%^&* in Zivlang!"

    Yeah, those were basically my thoughts.

    "I hope they eat Mensans and die."

    Given that being a member does not imply proven working skills and disciplines.

    Though I am considering joining (the geeks, not the megacorp).

    I don't think in my native language, too effin' cumbersome.

  8. Re:Silly exploit on Some Linux Distros Found Vulnerable By Default · · Score: 1

    Ideally yes the system should not do things that bring it coming crashing down but this is close to blaming a car for allowing me to plow into a wall. Not sure if I want a car/computer telling me what I can and cannot do.

    I dunno, with the general intelligence levels people are aiming to protect...

    Maybe it IS a good idea to put a disclaimer on gas caps, "do not throw live firecrackers here".

  9. Re:They could just sell win2000 for $5 on Windows XP Starter Edition off to Slow Start · · Score: 1

    No, theres more than the playskool interface in XP over 2000.

    However I'd think that cutting all that out may lead to a stabler, faster, more productive OS.

    The restricting free speech license. Cool!

    How else can this license concept be abused? :-)

    FPGAs would probably be better at G-INT-OPS. :-)

    Call me a kid, but this amazing technology appears and all i can think is how cool would it be to see enemies coming behind you reflected in a sphere...

    That is pretty sad. Because I'd be thinking about shooting a laser rifle at that ref(le|ra)ction an seeing what happens!

    Game rule 1, no direct shots of the enemy!

    Fun fun.

  17. Re:Then why are most FOSS tools v0.97 beta? on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    When my burning tools know the status of by DVD burner's buffer, simulate less realistically enough that I don't get real coasters out of it, and can actually control burning speed. Then it'd be okay to hit v1.0.

    As we all know, a good sysadmin can secure anything, even a Windows box.

    That's their line. It does make sense

    A good admin can't do much to secure an MS-OS without pulling wires.
    Unless these good admins are machine laguage ninjas...

  19. Re:Why new hardware if gameplay is all that matter on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    If Nintendo goes the new hardware way, why not try something truly innovating?

    Sounds good.

    like true 3d display for its console, for example. There are already technical solutions about this, including rotating displays and 3d pixel cubes.

    If they can push the price down on that stuff and make it robust enough for average consumer use, sounds good.

    Though it really sounds liek a virtual-boy ploy. Does anyone even remember what that was? :-)

    I think the big N is doing a good job, and I'm going to shut up and watch where they take things.

    Deorbiting means going up there and attaching stuff to it.
    Repairing means going up there and attaching stuff to it.

    We already have repairs mapped out and upgrades built. if we're going to go up there and attach stuff to it, we might as well not be entirely destructive about it...

    DVD video plays after setting the region for the drive. It just acts broken until you come upon that realization yourself.

    I actually tried flashing my 716 on freedos and dr dos. each time I got some spew about ASPI stuff.

    I had to install f***ing windows to update the thing. And I still can't make it play DVD video.

    So yeah, Plextor needs to do better to make me think they support Linux/OSS.

    Right now I envision them as Jim Carrey bent over, talking funny while trying to make his buttocks move like a mouth. (very hard to take seriously)

    PLEXTOR, GET YOUR EFFIN' ACT TOGETHER!
