  1. Re:Is OpenSSH still speed limited? on OpenSSH Going Strong After 10 Years With Release of v5.3 · · Score: 1

    Ummmm. 300Mbps ? What kind of network do you have? Anyways, my original question is still to be answered...

  2. Is OpenSSH still speed limited? on OpenSSH Going Strong After 10 Years With Release of v5.3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did OpenSSH ever fix the performance limitation on fast networks (>100Mbps)? They have static internal flow buffers that prevent fast scp/ssh! HPN has a patch but OpenSSH has to my knowledge never adopted it. http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/

  3. Re:plastic bag, a bit of clorox... on Taking Showers Can Be Harmful To Your Health · · Score: 1

  5. Does it biodegrade? on Plastic Circuits Designed To Enable Tough, Green Computers · · Score: 1

    Does the circuit board biodegrade over time? If so, it's a manufacturer's dream! We can keep selling over and over!

  6. Re:Mouse? on Best Mouse For Programming? · · Score: 1

    Razer Deathadder gaming mouse is the best I've used yet.

  7. Re:power consumption on Intel Demos Wireless "Resonant" Recharging · · Score: 1

    Does not sound good for your body. I wouldn't buy or use one. Also, what if you sit in a metal chair near water, will it shock you?

  8. Re:Really, Jack Bauer? on Crowdsourcing Big Brother In Lancaster, PA · · Score: 1

    The test and perhaps solution is simple: Set up surveillance cameras outside of Jack Baeur's home to be broadcast over the Internet and see if he agrees with it or if he is a hypocrite and pays to get them removed.

  9. Re:"Official Response" on Comcast Intercepts and Redirects Port 53 Traffic · · Score: 3, Funny

    Paulson was CEO of Goldman Sachs before Bush hired him.

  13. How could you ever trust it? on Windows 7 Beta Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 1

    How did they go from version 3 to 95 to 98 to 2000 to 7? If an operating system can't increment it's own version properly, how could you ever trust it to calculate anything for you?

  14. Re:Noone likes DRM on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let me add that I purchase all my DVDs and I own NO Blu-Ray discs. Why? I want to view my movies on the player of my choice -- typically a computer connected to a projector. I also want to view the movie without forced commercials at the beginning. Furthermore, I would prefer no discs at all. I want to simply choose a title from a menu and play my paid content. I don't want to be networked in order to play it and I want perpetual rights to play what I paid for. Do this at a reasonable price and people will buy into it.

  15. Re:Sorry Sony... on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    DVD quality is good enough and there's no HDCP. Also, people are downloading video. When will the industry learn?

  16. Noone likes DRM on Bad Signs For Blu-ray · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can anyone say DRM? Consumers do not like DRM and thus are not buying Blu-Ray. The poor economy is also a factor.

  17. Re:Oh, say can you see? on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 1

    I was just about to post the same comment when I came across yours. GM should focus on quality and price vs. nonsense and gimmicks.

  20. Tech support on Widespread Keyboard Failures on OLPC's XO-1 · · Score: 1

    Now that they've outsourced tech support to the third world, guess they'll have to fix it themselves.

  21. one problem... on Anti-Missile Technology To Be Tested on Commercial Jets · · Score: 1

    If another plane, building or other object emits heat, the airplane may shoot it down. Terrorists may use this against the plane. They could turn a laser protected plane into an offensive weapon. Not that they never tried that before... ;-)

  22. Ban It on Beamed Sonic Advertising Is Coming · · Score: 1

    This is a really bad technology if used without permission of the listener. What about the effect on babies and young children? Has this been tested before subjecting everyone to it? I can choose not to read a billboard but this is terrible. Plus the brainwashing, propaganda that this could be used for is mind numbing.

  23. New revenue model on Murdoch's New Internet Strategy for the WSJ · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Murdoch's plan is to make the newspaper free because his new revenue model is to shape public opinion with articles to buy his investments.

  24. My suggestion for Google is on Northeastern University Sues Google Over Patent · · Score: 1

    to block all Northeastern University and Jarg IP addresses from using Google. Their students and faculty will revolt.

  25. GOOG411 stinks on GOOG-411's "Biddy-Biddy-Boop" Sound Backstory · · Score: 1

    If you ever want to get frustrated, try GOOG411. Now we know why. They spent time coming up with the beep instead of thinking about the call flow / menu navigation. I have used GOOG411 extensively because I like the auto-connect feature and no ads but 1=800-FREE411 is better because it's better organized, does a better job at voice recognition, handles residential numbers and knows when to send you to a real person.
