  1. Re:stupid on Tricked-Out Cars Trickling Down · · Score: 1

    Really? I installed mine myself and I can't find one and it is a pretty new Kenwood.

  2. Re:truthiness on Camera Phones Read Hidden Messages in Print · · Score: 1

    Troll? I thought it was hilarious!

  3. Re:poor quality in the article: on MIT's Millimeter Turbine to be Ready This Year · · Score: 1

    Don't forget they flew one centaury ago.

    Don't forget to read the comments at the very end. They are quite entertaining.

  4. Re:Wow on Install Vista Upgrade Without Preexisting XP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Are you familiar with the saying "When you assume it makes an ass out of u and me"? In this case it is making an ass out of you. I didn't even hint that "all" customers are thieves. I'm just saying that if, for some reason, I decided to try to install the upgrade without actually upgrading this is probably the first thing I would try. This method isn't supposed to work. It is way too easy. It is so easy a caveman can do it. Most of the hacks I've seen involve changing registry values. Most of the people I know don't even know what the registry is much less how to go into it and change things.

  5. Wow on Install Vista Upgrade Without Preexisting XP · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Isn't this kind of thing one of the most basic ways to try to cheat the system? How could something this obvious slip through?

  6. I did on Who Killed the Webmaster? · · Score: 1

    I wanted a website too complex for a single person.

  7. Re:This isn't "open source" computers... on Dell Sells Open Source Computers · · Score: 1

    "one needs to sacrifice a goat and pay some 10 to 20 Euro/Dollars more in order to buy a computer from Dell without a floppy."

    That's weird. The ones I looked at wanted to charge a whopping $30 to add a floppy drive.

  8. Does your spam look like gibberish? on Spam is Back With A Vengence · · Score: 1

    Here is a sampling of previews of my spam from gmail:

    This stuff makes absolutely no sense! Did I get targeted by the retard spammers? It looks like spam for the sake of spam!

  9. Easy way out on Mandatory DRM for Podcasts Proposed · · Score: 1

    "All audio services -- Webcasters included -- would be obligated to implement "reasonably available and economically reasonable"

    All you have to do is tell them you can't afford to apply DRM to your audio.

  10. Re:Not all that's secret on How Apple Kept the iPhone Secret · · Score: 1

    Back to NTT, though... what's the one thing all of these have that the iPhone doesn't? 3G support (which is old hat in Japan at this point). Another big minus for the iPhone. It's not like Cingular doesn't have 3G phones here either - I've got one myself. So this is another big negative - how are you expected to actually make use of all of the iPhone's internet features on a 2G network? I don't care if it doesn't yet have 3G support. I have to drive over an hour(2 if traffic isn't great) just to get to 3G coverage. Even though Cingular lists 15 cities in my state as having coverage that is only 4 major metropolitan areas and coverage hardly goes past the city limits. You know 3G has limited presence when you don't even get to see coverage until you are zoomed in to the city level. I'd say they did a pretty good job of keeping this phone secret. Everybody knew they were working on it and I've seen so many pictures of fakes but none of the ones I saw looked like the real thing.
  11. Using the device and Charging at the same time on Wireless Power Gets A Boost · · Score: 1

    It would be really cool to through anything on to a pad to recharge it but one thing keeps nagging at me that nobody ever seems to ask:

    How do you talk on your cellphone and charge it at the same time without resorting to spending money on a headset? Wouldn't you look really silly and be really uncomfortable talking with your head against the table?
