  1. Re:Internet Radio on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 1

    Well you can 2.99$ a month you can subscribe you sirius's 128 kbps web stream. Most of their exclusive content is available on it as well. You can try it out for free for 3 days I believe. It's a great online music source.

  2. Re:At least the extortion fees were paid. on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 1

    Because the government did it. That's why it is ok !

  3. What's the problem? on How To Deal With Internet Bullies? · · Score: 1

    It appears that blackhawke is criticizing the issues and is trying to make a valid argument. It is not trolling by any means. His messages are in no way malicious. Why are you posting this here on slash dot? Instead of writing him off as a troll tell him his mistakes and let the thread die. Banning him or silently banning him won't do anything but show that you can't handle poor constructive criticism. Simply ignoring him will do a world of good. Sure there will be some dedicated posters respond to him but they'll eventually give up and this guy will go away. Just show him the errors of his ways and he'll (hopefully) change.

  4. I'll believe it when I see it on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sadly what will happen is they will be slated for the final product and fail to make it in. I was really looking forward to Winfs. It design specs and features looked like a big benefit to Windows Vista. I'm still kinda bummed it was never included. :-/

  5. Re:Does anyone know who's using it in embedded? on MS To Finally End OEM Licensing For Windows 3.11 · · Score: 0

    The Sears IBM POS system runs a variant of 3.11. Also our RMU system runs on an SCO Unixware system from the early 90s. Who would have thought SCO actually made useful products!

  6. Green...? on Working Towards an Eco-Friendly Fireworks Display · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Alright, I'm cool with 100+ mpg cars, low-yield nuclear reactions, hydrogen, and treeless paper. But on the 4th of July I do not want anything ruining my ability to launch of cardboard, gunpowder filled explosives into the atmosphere. Now that I think about it when I drive around at night on July 4th it is always hazy with a cool mist. Grand explosives that are illegal in my municipality and state that are launched off anyway because I don't really care are the whole reason why the Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays.

  7. Oh boy! on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 0

    I'm going to be quite honest here. I hate it when company's do this. The media will make a big habub about it and then everyone will forget. When I saw concept car in the title I immediately stopped caring. Unless this car goes into mass production and I can buy it at my friendly neighborhood car dealer then it's useless.

    Yay! You solved an unsolvable problem in mathematics! Now can you solve the energy crisis? America's lack of knowledge in the sciences? Yup that's what I thought :)

    Maybe if truckers actually read those height markers posted on the bridge things like that wouldn't happen. :(

  13. I work at Kmart: on Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft · · Score: 1

    So every time my store manager tells me that toys is a mess and that the store is a miserable failure automatically makes it true? Our secret shopper report stated that we were the best store in the region, but according to our store manager we sucked at everything. It's my manager's job to tell me the faults of the store. It's Bill's job to say that there can be a better way to do something. Nothing to comment or see here.

  14. This can on Higher Oil Prices Are Starting To Bring Jobs Home · · Score: 1

    Cheap energy has driven our world from locally produced goods to an international market place. When country B has the ability to make a good more cheaply it allows country A to become more efficient. It's been a couple of months since I have taken macroeconomics but I believe this is called a comparative advantage. Higher fuel and energy prices won't help us as a people. They will only bring us back to an economic situation that was seen in the early 20th century. What we need as a race are alternatives and a mass conservation effort. Heck the biggest reason for the increase in oil has been because of decline of the dollar abroad. If the fed jacked up interest rates it would remedy much of the problems we are seeing right now. But you know god forbid Bernanke and Company make G.W Bushy look bad in the economic front. I mean he screwed up a lot of stuff already let's just take on more. ----On a side note ----- Personally I think the Federal Reserve's biggest concern should be inflation. This period of stagflation is killing us. Inflation should always be the fed's number one priority. I mean seriously what good is an unemployment check when nearly all of it is going towards trying to pay for a freaking box of cereal. Also people should also not be so self righteous about working a minimal wage job while on unemployment. I know it's embarrassing to be flipping hamburgers or stocking selves, but it's money. Money that can be used to supplement a transition between jobs.

  15. E3 in a by gone day on Texas Governor As E3 Keynote Speaker Causes Strife · · Score: 1

    I remember when E3 used to be a real convention and not a , "I know so and so and we can get press tickets to get in!" event. The convention had so much going for it and the event planners ruined it by making it invite only. Honestly who cares what Mr. Perry's religious affiliation is. Let him be the key note speaker. Heck since I've started who cares about race and gender. Have we gone back to 1960 here? We're all human beings. Who cares what our beliefs, skin color, or birth place is. :-)

  16. Re:Make the tech better, not the people using it on Smart Phones "Bigger Security Risk" Than Laptops · · Score: 1

    I haven't owned a Palm handheld in a while, but I recall that you can set the Memo application to mask private information. I personally would much rather have a biometric thumb slide to access my PDA then to try and type in a password. I know there was an Ipaq that did this way back when, but it appears that it was a fad and no one has been implementing this since then.
