  1. Kraft Foods second? on Amazon Named the "Most Reputable Company" · · Score: 0

    This list is a joke. Kraft is one of the most disreputable companies. There are a lot of people, myself included, who would not touch a Kraft-manufactured food product with a 10-feet pole. In my eyes they stand at the same level as industrial poultry raisers and the like. Too bad this takes away a lot from the value of Amazon's first place.

  2. People are not stupid on Bing Users' Click-Through Rate 55% Higher Than Google Users' · · Score: 0

    As you may know, Bing pays people cashback if they approach a retailer through a Bing link. So it's only natural that if I want to purchase something from, say, newegg, I will go first to Bing and click on a newegg link. That will appear to Microsoft as if their advertising were successful on me, while in reality I have already made my decision, and just take what Microsoft throws at me. There are some retailers, such as ebay, that you have to perform a search before they offer cashback. So why not search for something.

  3. I peer with my ISP on How Networks Interact — Peering and Transit Explained · · Score: 0

    Why does it charge money then?

  4. 1970 called on Error-Proofing Data With Reed-Solomon Codes · · Score: 0

    they want their novel ideas back

  5. You can still buy Linux licenses from SCO on SCO Owes Novell $2.5 Million · · Score: 0

    The rulings did not discourage them from offering Linux licenses at $699 a pop. Go to their website, click Legal, click Software Licensing Information on the right, click SCO IP Protection Program on the right, and you will end up here: http://sco.com/scosource/license_program.html

  6. I ran scripts on 8GB of data on Code Quality In Open and Closed Source Kernels · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then I realized it is rather pointless. That did not prevent me from presenting it anyway, after all most of the academia works this way. When I get out of the university, I will read and understand the code, maybe maintain it for a year, before judging its quality.

  7. I am a genius then on Upgrade Trick Still Present In Vista SP1 · · Score: 1

    Paying a buttload of money and not having any right to use the product is sophisticated. Then what do you call downloading a pirated version and having the same without paying, genial?

  8. Re:New cards are great and all... on NVIDIA 790i Chipset and GeForce 9800 GX2 Launched · · Score: 1

    Until h.264 support in XvMC is released, I can't see any reason to buy a card newer than my current 6200 - it does the exact same things for me as a current nvidia card would.

  9. conclusion is stupid on Cell Hits 45nm, PS3 Price Drop Likely to Follow · · Score: 1

    What a stupid inflammatory conclusion. A remap is just what it is - a remap. The article blames IBM for missing the "opportunity" to spend a lot of money on tweaks, i.e. on logic design and verification, and to screw up compatibility for Sony at the same time.

  10. eco-what? on Environmental DVD Wrecks Apple Drives · · Score: 1

    So if AOL dumps 1 billion trillion Ecodisks on the market, does this make AOL eco-friendly? Oh wait, maybe they meant economical, they just wanted the public to read ecological into it.
