  1. Mission Impossible on Military Electronics That Shatter Into Dust On Command · · Score: 1

    I thought the MI group already had this tech

  2. Why's Obi Wan Kenobi on the call? on Why We Need OpenStreetMap (Video) · · Score: 1

    Why's Obi Wan Kenobi on the call, watching from the bottom right?

  3. Hurray! Down with BB on Blockbuster Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Good! I never liked Blockbuster anyway and their ridiculous late fees and policies. Netflix for the win.

  4. So no need to steal my wallet, cut my fingers off on The Vending Machines of the Future · · Score: 1

    Great! So instead of stealing my wallet, they'll cut off my fingers!

  5. Re:I'll wait a while. on The 1 Terabyte SSD Arrives · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. Because, I don't follow the SSD market so close. I hear it's a performance gain but slight at that. I've not heard about slower performance over time. Would like to know more. So yes, I don't think an assumption should be made. Maybe, an assumption and then a reference link for those that don't.

  6. Re:It still amazes on EU Could Force Bundling Firefox With Windows · · Score: 1

    I agree with this statment. Who the hell cares if they have IE in the OS. It's their product, it's their OS. They should be able to do what they want. Users can download other browsers if they want it so bad. IE makes it easy for the end user who gets a PC. They plug it in, turn it on and can surf the net. They don't nee to go through some setup or wizard of what browser to use. Then you have developers installing their browsers and who knows what that source code does. Granted we can trust Mozilla, but still. If it was my OS, I wouldn't want some third party app on there when I give it to you, that might break it. If you want to install it after the fact fine. I still agree with Bill's original statement. Why should Coke have to put a Pepsi can in the box as well. I have a Mac too, it didn't come with anything but Safari, I had to install FF. Big deal, it pisses me off this whole EU thing. You know what I like 90% of the world being on a single OS. Makes it that much easier to fix problems and troubleshoot, everyone's got the same thing. Market just needs enough like Apple is doing, to make MS stay on the ball, like with Windows 7. -end rant

  7. Flash Books? on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 1

    THere were no Flash books when flash came out for years. I remember using Flash ver 2 and there was no such flash books. Flash is in version what? 9? 10? now.

    Sliverlight just came out, I would expect lots of books until version 4 or 5
