  1. BSD is the solution on Why Mac OS X Is Unsuitable For Web Development · · Score: 1

    Linux is the problem. He should be using *BSD on his servers ;-)
    duh.

  2. Re:I Disagree on Level 3 Shaken Down By Comcast Over Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    We have clear which is a decent, but not great wireless option (not great for movies but it'll work, forget HD though)
    We have Fios in a number of high rises but not the majority of the center city, (suburbs all have it Grr!)

  3. Cobra on UK Terror Chief Blocked From Boarding Aircraft · · Score: 3, Funny

    Clearly they finally had the chance to really hinder Cobra and they missed it. Gi.Joe must be pissed.

  4. Driving Robots on Could Anti-Texting Laws Make Roads More Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    If my car drove itself i could sit back and text.

  5. No Flash , could this be the reason on iPad Bait and Switch — No More Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    Maybe they pre-emptively got rid of flash so all those preloaders and annoying ads wouldn't burn your 2Gbs up. ;-)

  6. Can you say... on Company Trains the Autistic To Test Software · · Score: 1

    Betas. Or maybe deltas.

    I'm sure some people will be upset by that comment but they are sorting job function by capability.

  7. flash 6 or 7 with sorensen video on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    I use it on my movie site with smaller videos for movie trailers because it's compatible with Windows, Macs, and Linux. I develop on Mac and Linux (laptop). Unfortunately, the full movies are still reliant on QuickTime. But we hope to change that soon.

  8. Re:Not so awesome. on Real Launches Music Download Service · · Score: 1
    Real cost: 20*$.79 = $16 (rounding the penny) plus $10 for monthly fee = $36 dollars.
    I know you meant $26.00, so yeah you are right. I don't think there are 50 songs/mo coming out of the RIAA that are worth dowloading.
  9. Re:Who really owns the airwaves? on Canadian Government to Jam Radio Signals · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what your're saying is that Verizon and Sprint should be the only ones allowed to do whatever they want with the airwaves because the have they most money.

    Yes, I see how that is so much better than the government controlling it. Why have representation in the decision? Any one can vote, only those with money can own Verizon stock. That's definitely the best way to go for all of society.

    Since this was text, i feel the need to point out my sarcasm above.

  10. Re:In related news... on Amazon & Used Books II: Bezos Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    O Brave New World!

    This model of consumption is the one Aldous Huxley based his book on. buy it used.

  11. Thank you author's guild on Amazon & Used Books II: Bezos Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been waiting for the last installment Brian Herberts Prequel Trilogy to Dune. House Corrino. But I was clear I wasn't going to cough up the $25.00 for the hardcover given the quality of the first 2. They were entertaining but not something i'd read twice. But I've been waiting for the paperback version forever. So once this story came out, I clicked on over to Amazon and got the hardcover used for $6.00, the price of the paperback. So i got to spend the amount I wanted to (demand) for the not new version (supply). Nevermind the painless recycling.
    Now Brian Herbert didn't see a dime, but neither did Corning when i bought those used dishes from the salvation army. And I'm ok with that.
    Perhaps the quality of writing will go up, if there is more access to used books. Or perhaps they need to provide some other incentive to justify me spending $25.00
    But the authors guild would have me believe that if there was a manual on how to make dishes, I shouldn't be able to buy that used. bah!

  12. Why Not Wireless? on Hardware Review: Rio Receiver · · Score: 1

    You can find 802.11 desktop wireless cards on pricewatch for less than $40 now. It seems that they could have put this feature in at a small cost to them. And streaming mp3s at 2.5Mb/s is more than enough bandwidth. If i'm going to use these for multizone audio as the article suggests, I sure as heck don't want to wire them all with CAT5 around my house.

  13. Re:New "drivetrain" setup on Hydrogen-based Rotary Engine? · · Score: 1, Troll

    wait, are you saying that capitalism might not be very efficient when it comes to releasing new, better technology?

  14. Re:Does anyone know? on Broadcast 2000 Removed From Public Access · · Score: 1

    Try actually clicking on the Login button as opposed to hitting the return or enter keys. Somtimes the wrong form is in focus.

  15. Re:USB 2.0 is just an Intel scam anyway on FireWire For Windows XP, But No USB 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Great article by David K. Every on his site http://www.mackido.com/Hardware/USB2.html. He also has another one reprinted from MWJ http://www.mackido.com/Hardware/USB20.html

  16. neuromedia.com on AskJeeves Interview · · Score: 1

    If you are at all interested in Natural Language. You should check out neuromedia.com It's equivalent of ask jeeves, but it blows it away in it's conversational skills. I especially enjoyed asking it what the meaning of life was.
