  1. Re:Could at least editors have a look at TFA? on DARPA Wants a 19" Super-Efficient Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Funny

    How tall does this rack have to be?

  2. Customer Management? on Hulu May Begin Charging For Video Content · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As a reader of a newspaper, his "customer relationship" is Not My Problem. I do not choose to be the target of marketers' "customer management" fantasies.

  3. Re:High-efficeiency incandescent bulbs on Laser Blast Makes Regular Light Bulbs Super-Efficient · · Score: 1

    So you want trucks driving around the neighborhood delivering "useful" nuclear fuel and picking up the waste. Just the likelihood of ordinary traffic accidents is a problem, let alone the movie-plot scenarios.

  4. Re:Engineering applications? on Ten Applications That Changed Computing · · Score: 1

    Definitely. Back in mainframe days, apps like NASTRAN and CADAM made modern aircraft design possible.

  5. Re:Opportunity on North Korea Missile Launch Fails · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the US Air Force tracked it and the Navy had vessels in the Pacific ready to go after the pieces. In any case, they are not likely to announce it if they find anything, so either way we'll never know.

  6. Re:Old news on RITI Printer Uses Your Coffee Grounds For Eco Ink · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's the Brown Ring of Quality!

  7. Re:Market forces = backward compatible on DTV Coupon Program Out of Money · · Score: 1

    Actually, the NTSC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntsc was established by the FCC and the improvements were subject to approval by the FCC.

  8. New word on LG High-Def TVs To Stream Netflix Videos · · Score: 1

    The article at TG Daily http://www.tgdaily.com/html_tmp/content-view-40823-97.html is headlined "LG to unveil netflixed HDTVs".

  9. Re:What bothers me more is on Personalized Spam Rising Sharply, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    Banks don't help the situation when they use names like cardmemberservices.net that have nothing to do with the bank name.

  10. Re:stirling engine is a no-go on Dean Kamen Combines Stirling Engine With Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Yes, but turbines are vastly expensive.

  11. Re:You know what's great about Soviet Georgia? on Russia and Georgia Engaged In a Cyberwar · · Score: 1

    The interesting thing is that in Moscow, the term "Caucasian" is a derogatory reference to darker-skinned people such as those from Chechnya, which is near Georgia.

  12. Just older drivers? on GM Researching Windshields For Old Drivers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems that all drivers could benefit from contrast enhancement in the fog (or rain or snow).

  13. Re:BMG? on Tech Giants Pooling Cash To Buy Patents · · Score: 1

    Broadcast Music, Inc., a competitor of ASCAP.

  14. BMG? on Tech Giants Pooling Cash To Buy Patents · · Score: 1

    I think you mean BMI, not BMG.
