  1. Re:Head clogging on New Inkjet Technology 5 To 10 Times Faster · · Score: 0

    Actually a lot of Lexmark catridges have build in print heads as well. Also, this makes the price of the cartridge even more to replace, so its effectively a lose/lose situation. Inkjet printers are great if you print out lots of photos, but for the average user it seems that the most effective printer will just about always be a laser. We had our HP Laserjet 4L for over 10 years and just now replaced it with a Color Laserjet 2600N and gave the working 4L to my friend.

  2. Re:heh on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 2, Funny

    The first step is admitting that you have a problem. The second step is admitting you never plan to get rid of said problem. Metal for life!

    Sure, but regardless of being guilty of attempted murder/kidnapping or innocent, she acted in a manner that is unprofessional according to NASA's standards.

  10. Crossfire? on AMD Fusion To Add To x86 ISA · · Score: 1

    Multiple GPUs can coprocess via Crossfire or SLI, so would the CPU be able to suppliment an additional video card instead of replace it possibly?

  13. Stipulations on Judge Says RIAA Can't Have Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Funny

    Stipulation #1: They must listen to EVERY SONG IN ITS ENTIRETY to make sure its not a legal demo copy with that damned message at random points. Stipulation #2: They must preview EVERY MEDIA FILE (Including horse porn) IN ITS ENTIRETY to insure that there is no copyright infringement there such as music videos or demo images. Stipulation #3: They must reference EVERY SONG 'illegally obtained' with a list of music legally owned by all users, past and present, of the hard drive, including the manufacturers and the techies at Dell. Oh, and the company charges at least $120/hour for the service... hope they like to spend their money on guys watching horse porn.

  14. Re:It's the false positives that kill performance. on Face Recognition - Real or Science Fiction? · · Score: 1

    A system like this doesnt necessarily need to be worried about false positives as much as it has to be worried about false negatives. While a 100% accurate system would be great, if they can guarantee that the system will never return false negatives, and will only return false positives 1 out ot 10,000 times, the system would be great to use not as a final judgement, but for leads. If every 'positive' were taken with a grain of salt and scrutinized by the authorities then it would be no different then the thousands of people responding to wanted posters. The only difference is this would be quicker and would give other information such as exactly where and when the sightings occured.

  15. When pseudonyms are outlawed... on China Moving to Real Name Registrations for Blogs · · Score: 1

    ...only outlaws will have pseudonyms Good luck to anyone trying to track down every Chinese blogger who decided they didn't want to use their real name for fear of being arrested as a result of the content posted. Only way I can see this being enforced is by keeping a guard stationed by every single bloggers computer.
