  1. A new Guiness World Record? on Robotic Short Order Cook · · Score: 2

    What if a Beowulf cluster of these existed? Whoops, it does: McDonald's

  2. Re:My only question is- on Europe Sets Encryption free, USA Protests · · Score: 1

    to acknowledge the AC: my question is to what extent does the US vehemently oppose? and who specifically? Perhaps No Such Agency is afraid of losing the black budget for eavesdropping.

  3. My only question is- on Europe Sets Encryption free, USA Protests · · Score: 1

    why?

  4. Screensaver? on Ask the Man Behind the NOAA's New Beowulf Cluster · · Score: 1

    How fast does it scan the radio waves from the Seti Project???

  5. Re:Porn site link on the top page ???? goin down h on Penthouse.com Goes After Usenet Posters · · Score: 1

    I agree with ya on this one... watching the talking heads at 6pm offers absolutely NO warning when reporting on news items that can be considered adult in nature by either the Net or the MPAA or Sony or whomever. I wonder what the percentage of readers is that clicked on it cuz penthouse was in the dateline...

  6. seems like an easy answer... on Penthouse.com Goes After Usenet Posters · · Score: 1

    couldnt P-house simply watermark the photos like http://www.photodisc.com ??? watermarked boobs! remove the mark and you get half a women!

  7. Could be useful: on 3-D Monitor From Deep Video Imaging · · Score: 2

    at the mall when Florsheim shoes suggests you browse their shoe collection through the atm-machine-like unit they use instead of a paper catalog. Just think! Now that intel commercial with the guy dropping that new car with the forklift could be a reality!!!

  8. Re:"Duron" - will this name stay? on AMD Thunderbird And Duron Set For June Launch · · Score: 1

    Duron is a name of industrial grade (read: CHEAP) paint sold at Home Depot and such, coincidence?

  9. Re:Competitive? on AMD Thunderbird And Duron Set For June Launch · · Score: 1

    What with all the chip set makers making different chips and marketing them with different names (p3, celeron) running similar benchmarks, it reminds me of auto makers selling two versions of the same SUV i.e. Expedition & Navigator. Perhaps celerons now are geared to the working class with the other sets marketed for all others... ...Just a thought mind you...

  10. Re:First Sale on Can I Lend DVDs? · · Score: 1

    Im not so sure that the any one but the consumer is getting bent here per se... as once when i lost the video i had rented, they wanted me to pay full price, (108.95 USD)even tho I went to the same blockbuster and purchased a previously viewed for (19.95 USD) and tried to replace it. WTF???
