tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-58947212011-04-21T16:54:36.493-04:00It's my blog. The name is a reference to a quirk in the Slashdot moderation system that allows a post to have a negative (in this case, offtopic) moderation, but be scored 5, the maximum positive score. Basically, there's no point to it, but it may be good. There'll be all sorts of computer crap in here...bhtooefrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11457150473675964070noreply@blogger.comBlogger151100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894721.post-1128042169638020642005-09-29T21:02:00.000-04:002005-09-29T21:02:49.660-04:00

First things first... some Slashdotters are wondering why I'm quitting F@H. So, here goes...Read this thread over at The Tech Report's folding forum. It's the thread that caused me to quit F@H. Search for "Find-a-Drug" and "FAD", and I'm sure you'll find the other comments that I'm too lazy to look up right now.Now, on to OneTrueKeyboard...I'm officially launching it today. It's a discussion

First things first... Pong: San Andreas is in Release Candidate stage. That's right, it's almost done. By all reports, the gameplay is good - the graphics need a little work, and then it'll be ready.I need a host, though. My current host for this project, drfish of the Tech Report forums, cannot support this project through a Slashdotting.And, yes, there's a Hot Coffee mode in there.Now, on to

...I found this: Gaze Ye Upon It, And Be Amazed Pretty funny, IMO. Now, for something serious: Some spyware/trojan horses have been known to put porn on computers. HP/Compaq computers come with spyware. I think they've got some that come from the factory in a RAID configuration. So, it's possible...

Yep, I've got the laptop!It's working pretty well - nice and snappy with Windows 2000.The only problem? Heat - I don't know if the fan's dead, or what, but it runs REALLY hot (~80 C outside of the UltraBase, 90+ C in it). Part of me says to stop folding...

...but it's a doorstop...Basically, the network controller and modem are conflicting, and giving me this error:ERROR Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller Bus:00, Device:0A, Function:00 ERROR Resource Conflict - PCI Bus:00, Device:0A, Function:01It won't let me boot, either.So, I called the place that sold it to me, and they gave me an RMA number. I'll drop it off sometime soon, and

A Corollary to the Ladder Theory -- Applications to NerdsFinally - the Ladder Theory makes sense! Of course, it took reworking the whole thing...Basically, this corollary discusses the issues that "nerds" have with relationships, and how to apply Ladder Theory in that case. (nerds are, for the purposes of that article, defined as: "They're smart and a little awkward socially; still, they shower

The night before last, I read about a little something called the "Ladder Theory". It claims to be a theory that explains how relationships work, and how not to be an "intellectual whore". The author of this theory summarizes what an intellectual whore is like this:In short, it does not refer to a "smart slut" as it were, but rather to males who are kept around by women for their mental

Copied from a post I just made on DYMT a few minutes agoI just had to dismantle my parents' Celeron 2GHz Northwood... It was freezing on all sorts of stuff, and acting quite weirdly. I ran MemTest86+ on it, and no errors. The only things I did on that power on were: burn 2 CDs (MemTest86, and Win2K (for the laptop I'm getting)), then run MemTest86+. I immediately went into the hardware status,

That was a friend of mine, after riding Raptor at Cedar Point (this was a while back - I just now got a chance to upload it). I know what you're thinking: "RAPTOR? Who gets sick after RAPTOR?!?!?"Well, when Raptor normally runs, it runs for 2 minutes, 16 seconds, along a 3,790 foot long track. That averages out to 19.0006686 mph - not too fast, right? Enough for some thrill when it hits higher

I've never used the TR forums for much, but yesterday decided to dive in. I was looking at the "hot threads" on the home page, and saw something called "dont ya mean type". I decided to dive in. It's at 219 pages (30 posts * 218 pages + 4 posts = 6544 posts) right now.What is it about? Good question. Nobody really knows. It started when imi, a new forum member at the time, accidentally hit "New
