  1. Re:In Apple's defense on Apple Sends Cease-and-Desist To the Hymn Project · · Score: 1

    The question was, how it it different to Microsoft. Are you suggesting Microsoft isn't a business and doesn't need to make money?

  2. Re:AntiTrust concerns? on Vista SP1 Is Even Less Compatible · · Score: 5, Insightful

    AV vendors claiming antitrust? I find that ironic, considering their industry is based solely around the insecurity of Windows. It is in Microsofts and every users best interest for Windows to be made bullet proof, but then the AV vendors would sue for more antitrust violations. It is an industry that shouldn't even exist.

  3. Re:Well duh on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Uh... if it would only take a few months to consume all the /8 blocks that are being wasted, we are likely to run out of addresses sometime next week if we don't (see, I can exaggerate too). And since when was it impossible to run out of addresses on v6?

  4. Re:What? on CERN Scientists Looking for the Force · · Score: 1

    "For instance, photons cannot attract each other gravitationally (whereas matter does), and a photon won't attract matter gravitationally." What makes you so sure? A photon might attract another photon gravitationally, but the force might be so small compared to other factors. It is ignorant to say with 100% certainty what does and doesn't happen when the top scientists are still trying to figure this stuff out.

  5. Re:But wait, there's more! on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 1

    That doesn't sound too dissimilar to many MMORPGs of today...

  6. Re:I don't think she was waiting for him ... on Steve Fossett Declared Dead · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the Norwegian Blue pining for the fiords, not the forests?

  7. Re:You can't make this stuff up. on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 1

    Damn, they found me...

  8. Re:You can't make this stuff up. on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 1

    How has this not been modded funny yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(food)

  9. Re:Cry for help on Yahoo Seeking Partnership With News Corp. · · Score: 1

    MySpace might run on ASP/IIS, doesn't mean Yahoo directly runs off of it by partnering with the company that owns MySpace.

  10. Re:Cry for help on Yahoo Seeking Partnership With News Corp. · · Score: 1

    Indirectly using Microsoft products is completely different to being owned by Microsoft. Heck, Microsoft uses Linux servers now and then.

  11. Re:All well and good on Low Voltage Is Key To Energy-Efficient Chip · · Score: 4, Informative

    Most current desktop chips do scale their voltage (such as the Core 2 Duo). The drop isn't all that dramatic, it drops from approximately 1.3V to 1.0V. But it does drop.
