  1. Re:yeah yeah on Intel Acquires Mobile Linux Developer OpenedHand · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't have bought this company if they didn't think it would help them though. If not for the expertise or resources, it knocks one competitor out of the picture.

    I'd like to see more Indy movies but not if Shia LaBeouf is in it.

    If so then we could harness that heat and use it as a source of energy. Sounds good to me.

    if youheld down shift it would save the link instead of opening it in a new tab. This was useful back in the day if you had a lot of link targets to save quickly.

    Do you really think he would own up to saying it. It's one of the most embarassing and shortsighted things said along with the "world demand for computers is 3" quote etc.

  8. Re:Unfortunately... on Former Anti-Nuclear Activist Does A 180 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Sorry I disagree. 3 years ago there was much fewer customers of uranium that we could sell to. Now we have trade agreements, signed and sealed, in place with China, Russia and India to buy our yellowcake. It makes sense that the 3 major players (blame the environmentalists for the 3 mine policy) not to extract more from the ground than they were selling. Mining more than is needed, wastes resources, and requires storage space which for yellow cake is not a simple or cheap thing to do due to the high security it requires. The safest place to have uranium you haven't sold is to leave it in the ground. Why would these companies control the supply now when the future looks like there will be a flood of new uranium MINERS in Australia? the 3 mine policy is breaking down. Just earlier this year a new company in australia (not australian owned mind you) was granted the right to start mining. And there are literally dozens of young start ups exploring for the stuff. Companies like Pepenini and Marathon look quite promising, if Rio or BHP buy them out you might be onto something but these company are also heavily funded by Chinese shareholders who won't sell easily.

  9. Re:Meh. on CompUSA To Close All Stores · · Score: 1

    good riddance. After buying from them a few times and never hearing anything back after sending in my rebates, I can't say I am sad to see them go. A lot of their stuff can be found cheaper elsewhere so without the rebates I only went in there to play around with their stuff and check out the sales chicks.

  10. Re:Still a reason not to buy on Watermarking to Replace DRM? · · Score: 1

    They start off tracking such crappy trivial things so the masses don't complain to much but then when watermarking is deeply entrenched in all digital music they'll move to encoding other personal information into it. 1. track source cd 2. .... 3. track name and downloaded + more!

  11. Re:I Don't Get It on Disney - Blu-ray's Fair Weather Friend · · Score: 2, Informative

    saves costs. No need to author and publish in two different types, encode in two formats, stock two skus of each movie, create additional covers and booklets etc

  12. Re:Which is not that great for the space.. on The 660 Gallon Brewery Fuel Cell · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but I have plenty of room inside the ceiling for more than a few of these things. Even for people living in apartments theres more than likely ample roof space up there.

  15. Re:All updates relay Information... on All Microsoft Updates Phone Home · · Score: 1

    While your reasoning is rational, such strong language should only be used when you have solid proof that Apple is doing this. Not hard to when you own a mac and know what you are talking about.
