  1. Never mind. on Russian Town Puts Giant Smiley On Google Maps · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It was just a stupid promo action for the local Internet service provider (is74.ru). They also gathered these people to sign the petition "please introduce a $15 unlimited Internet plan". Although they did not collect enough signatures, they still introduced it.

    Also, they promised to hire a plane to get rid of the clouds (which would not help anyway - google maps will never add just a 500×500 meter shot to their maps if everything else is covered by clouds. They also promised that you'll be able to see the shots on Google Maps the next day - which is also a blatant lie. This ISP already had a terrible reputation for cutting the optical cables of its competitors, and now this.

  2. What to do on Will Internet TV Crash the Internet? · · Score: 1, Funny

    If I were an isp I'd just send a truckload of war3zed pr0n dvds via standard mail to every customer so they stop pr0ning the bandwidth

  3. Is that classified? on US Military Launches YouTube Channel · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here is a nice video from the good american army educating the Iraqi population?
    Is that the kind of classified information we should not allow the marines to post?

  4. Console sales stats on Game Consoles Sell Over 3.2 Million Units in November · · Score: 2, Informative

    Perhaps you'll want to visit the site http://nexgenwars.com/ to get a daily update on console sales.

  5. Re:Negative votes? on HBO's Hacking Democracy Available Online · · Score: 1

    This isn't about the memory card not being set to zero, it's about an executable stored on the card that is ran by the machine as the card is read, modifying the results as they are being read.

    -I watched to the entire video, on google.

  6. Re:Lots of things your body uses are poison on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    It is not the substance (Vitamins, alcool, gazes, caffeine, whatever) that makes a poison, it is the dose. This dose is substance dependant (ie, 50 g aceminatophen will get you a lethal fulminant hepatitis, 50 g of alcohol will get you drunk)

  7. Looks like hotmail is driving toward this to on Yahoo To Try To Charge For POP3 Services · · Score: 1

  8. Its big on Judge Says Microsoft Must Give States Windows Code · · Score: 1

    It's been a long time since anybody at Microsoft had a complete knowledge of the whole windows source code. The code is now so messed up that nobody at Microsoft knows it all.

    I wonder, supposing it's released, if anybody could "get it all" and lead a team to work on it. It would take decades to understand this code. It would'nt be a spare time project.

  9. Cloning? on "Encounter 2001" To Send Human DNA To Space · · Score: 1

    What if these aliens are so bright that they take our DNA and clone one of us. NOW we will be able to say geek in space :)

  10. Windows api code! on Linux and Gnome Go to the Movies · · Score: 1

    This gnome thing is good, but the code displayed behind in the 3rd gnome screenshot is windows api code! You can clearly see the line "GetDlgItemText(hWnd...".

  11. My opinion about this stuff on Is The Internet Destroying Spanish? · · Score: 2

    I'm a french canadian and many people here in Quebec have the same concern about their language. But I don't share their opinion. I think that the main purpose of a language is to communicate and have other people understand you, not for keeping your identity. Maybe some wars would have never been if everybody would have spoken the same language. Maybe this is a bit rough, but I do think that soon or later, everybody will speak the same language and that will be perfect like that.
