  1. Now that's news! on Viacom Puts the Daily Show Archive Online · · Score: 1

    But for this to really have an effect, Viacom is going to have to tackle some bandwidth issues.

  2. If the front and back.. on Touch-based Handhelds Turned Inside Out · · Score: 1

    If the front and back of the unit take input from touches.. how do you hold it when you aren't actively using it?

  3. Not all customer demand on Canonical Chases Deal to Ship Ubuntu Server OS · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft charged Dell $300 for Windows, I'm sure we'd see fewer Dell systems with Windows on them.

  4. Re:I guess he's not used the new Yahoo Mail interf on High Performance Web Sites · · Score: 1

    I'd mod this informative, funny and interesting if I could!

  5. YSlow on High Performance Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Seeing that this is about YSlow, just thought I'd mention that it isn't much of an extension. It'll make a few notes about your web pages (that you should probably already know if you created them) then give you links to Yahoo's website for suggestions on how to fix them.

    So, in the spirit of cutting out the middleman, here's all the information you'd get about speeding up your web site without having to install YSlow: developer.yahoo.com...

  6. Re:File Formats A Necessary Evil on Linspire Releases Controversial Version 6.0 · · Score: 1

    Absolutely! I seems like an excellent direction from a business perspective, it will make it much easier for users who are familiar with all those proprietary formats to move in a different direction.

    Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer

  7. I could see it being abused.. on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if a unit was developed that didn't have to be worn and could affect large groups of people... I think we'd see a mysterious increase in church attendance

  8. FCC's $$$ on The 700MHz Question · · Score: 1

    are business needs trumping consumer and technological interests?

    With stakes so high, it seems the FCC is going to benefit the most.

    Anyone know how much money the FCC currently brings in by selling thin air?

  9. I agree.. on Trouble With MS Genuine Office Validation · · Score: 1

    Microsoft could do a better job and just ask him to activate visio. And it wouldn't be much of a hassle for him to just activate it. but would would user's do if Open Office had similar hurdles?

  10. Re:London .. yes on Chicago Developing 'Suspicious Behavior' Monitoring System · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's the discussion about that article. Plenty of opinions on both sides of the issue there.

  11. Re:Article is useless without a graph! on Canadian Dollar Reaches Parity with US$ · · Score: 2, Informative

    or, just as accurate with a different twist http://finance.google.com/finance?q=USDCAD

  12. Re:Not Evil on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    It sounds like you've seen the film then, and would have seem the trip to Canada, France and the UK as well.

  13. Re:Not Evil on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    A play on words:

    "Universal health care" could mean... should just be

    "Universal health care" could be accomplished... The use of "mean" has nothing to do with "meaning"


    I have a hard time seeing how something

    everyone can agree upon can be meaningless?
  14. Re:Not Evil on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 1
    How could "Universal health care" be a "meaningless term"?


    Universal seems to have meaning
    Health seems to have meaning
    and even Care seems to have meaning

    If you need help getting some sort of meaning out of the phrase using these three words, I'd be happy to help out..
  15. Re:Not Evil on Google Protects Healthcare From Michael Moore · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Socialism may be a bad idea, but.. This is precisely one of the problems Moore touches on, universal health care != socialism
  16. Last I checked... on Microsoft Pays Bloggers to Tout MS Slogan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft, but last I checked they weren't having a problem with their Google page rank, so I do doubt that that was part of their "People-ready business" blog campaign.

  17. Re:I've been saying for years... Here's one way on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 2, Informative

    They're doing it by hand in China. Here's a slashdot posting, referring to a photo journal about just such a thing.

  18. Benefits of Technology on Citizen Journalism Combating Chinese Censorship · · Score: 1

    Interesting to see this posting just a few hours after the posting about our Mechanized Future. Couldn't we say that the internet is helping Chinese fight unwanted censorship... thus improving their lives..

  19. One Or The Other? on The Mechanized Future · · Score: 1

    The introduction sounds a little too black and white, as if technology was either a blessing OR a curse. What about the idea that some advancements have improved lives while others have made things more difficult? I'm sure the author weighs pros and cons in a way that provides this more realistic perspective though..

  20. Hmm.. on School's Out Forever at SV High Tech High · · Score: 5, Funny

    My guess is they weren't using free software?

  21. Deer Hunting? on Table Top USP Lasers Slice, Dice, and So Much More · · Score: 0, Troll

    I wonder what this'll do to the "right to bear arms" debates.

  22. "Stuff That Matters" on DreamWorks Picks up Neil Gaimans' Interworld · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Stuff That Matters"... I understand a lot of nerds like scifi, but it doesn't seem like this is very significant news

  23. Re:Just goes to show on Microsoft's 'Men in Black' Kill Florida Open Standards Legislation · · Score: 1
    if public media

    always side[s] on big business why don't they side with IBM, Sun and Novell.. you know those

    with a major interest in open source ?
