  1. I for one on Microsoft Accepts Flash For Windows Mobile · · Score: 3, Funny

    miss all those flash ads on my iPhone.

  2. Re:I'm curious... on Intel Confirms It Will Ship 160GB Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    I can see that, depending on your individual definition of "near" as it relates to technology. I would bet in less than 5 years most all laptops will ship with these. I suppose that's "a long time" in the computer technology world, though.

  3. Re:I'm curious... on Intel Confirms It Will Ship 160GB Flash Drives · · Score: 1

    This kind of thing is really slick... I just don't see it being accepted in the near future. I think the same was said of flat-panel computer monitors. Now that's pretty much all you can find.
  4. Re:So it can store an integer up to 4.3 billion? on Brain-Inspired Computer Made From Duroquinone · · Score: 1

    Then can I have a lot more storage sace on my iPhone? My really cold iPhone?

  5. Re:Complicated Issue on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 1

    It's a one time payment of $99 for the certificate. If someone can prove me false with a link, be my guest.

  6. Re:Limitations on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Or write their own programs. Companies still do that, right?

  7. Re:Limitations on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 5, Informative

    As I mentioned in another post, Apple said they would announce a way for companies to release applications internally.

  8. Re:Exchange on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 5, Informative

    Watch the video of the announcement yesterday. The Exchange compatability is the best I've ever seen.

  9. Re:When? on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 5, Informative

    So how can you be targeting businesses with this product then? In the announcement Apple said they were working on a way for buisiness to release applications internally. They seemed to imply without the need for iTunes.
  10. Limitations on Apple Targeting Business World for the iPhone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those limitations aren't really limitations. They're just no-brainers. There is almost nothing you can't do with the SDK.

  11. Re:Much too late on FBI Admits More Privacy Violations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would love to see those go away, actually.

  12. Re:I'm not a U.S. citizen.... on FBI Admits More Privacy Violations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I take the fact that they announce their errors as a good sign. They could simply hide it like most other governments.

  13. Re:This happens everywhere on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    The religious factions has gotten too much power over the education. End result will be that the children will grow up not knowing what makes the light work, how the picture in the TV gets there and assuming that just because the teacher said man was created from the image of God that's the only truth. "Religious factions" as you call them have no more power over education than their simple numbers. The more people that beleive in intelligent design, the more "power" they have. This is true of every group or faction. In the US there are a significant number who beleive in intelligent design. There IS evidence if you care to actually look. The best science teacher I ever had (made the cover of Popular Science) taught both theories in parallel citing the evidence for both and never saying which one was "right". That is what teacher are there for right? To teach us how to think and not what to think?
  14. Re:Macs on Apple 10.4.11 Update Can Brick Macs With Boot Camp · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It is NOT routine. My MacBook failed to boot after doing this update and I had to do and archive and install to get it usable again. I haven't had to do something like that since Mac OS 9. While I didn't regularly use boot camp, I did enough to feel the loss. I'll be upgrading to 10.5 soon enough, but it is annoying. It also looks somewhat underhanded.,,you just have to wonder if it really was an accident.

  15. Re:Finally! on Steve Jobs Announces iPhone SDK · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Better to be done right the first time a little late than cause serious security issues. Better press this way...

  16. Re:But then ... on Countering the Arguments Against Unbundling Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    Been there done that. If they do it again, they want to e absolutely certain it will work in their favor and not the other way around. It almost killed them last time.

  17. Re:What about Macs? on Countering the Arguments Against Unbundling Windows · · Score: 1

    No. We're special. Didn't you know that?

  18. Re:True, however ... on Amazon DRM-Free Music Store Goes Beta · · Score: 1

    The iTunes library is MUCH larger. It will take time to make the switch on everything. I know a number of indie musicians anxious to change their music on iTunes to DRM-free.

  19. Re:Neither can compete with the cost of Ubuntu! on Is Apple Doing All It Can to Beat Vista? · · Score: 1

    This isn't about beating Ubuntu. It's about beating the dominance of Microsoft, which while full of flaws, is still the dominating OS. Apple isn't out to beat Linux. All the Windows games work great on my MacBook too, by the way.

  20. Re:Warranty? on Seagate to Offer Solid State Drives in 2008 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The rewrite issue has been rehashed a million times. It will be fine. I promise.

  21. Re:It was only a matter of time.. on BitTorrent Closes Source Code · · Score: 1

    1st law of open source: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources." So why complain people are repackaging and selling the software when it is explicitly allowed in the open source definition?

    We did water displacement in college. Here, strip down and climb into this big tank...

  23. Re:What about osteoporosis? on Building Artificial Bone · · Score: 1

    Nevermind. It looks like it is designed to allow the patient bone to grow into the material.

  24. Re:What about osteoporosis? on Building Artificial Bone · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a little unclear from the article. Todays bone grafts (if donated) are performed with bone fragments, heads, grindings, etc from deceased donors. The donor bone is attached and actually broken down and replaced by the patients own osteocytes effectively replacing lost bone and ridding itself of the donor bone. I would assume this would be used for larger scale bone replacements.

    And rap.
