  1. Re:Red is the colour on Lockheed Martin Selects Linux for Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    This calls for a Linux coming from Redmond

  2. About these pictures on Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered · · Score: 1

    Didn't they supposed to have feathers? Remember the Giant Chick overlords comment?

  3. Re:100 times 0 = still 0 on Google's Smart Advertising Leads to More Clicks · · Score: 1

    I think you don't understand. My reason for not clicking ads, is because I'm not interested in spending money without investigation for the cheapest alternative. Clicking an ad is the wrong channel to get information about a product.. because it is sponsored by the provider itself. I like my information about products as objective as possible and know where to get such information. There is no spite against anyone, but just an incompatibility between advertisements and my personal preference of doing business.

    The only thing ads are good for, is bringing a new product to my attention. When I'm interested, I won't click the ad (for the reason given), but will look for (p)reviews about the product on Google or though other channels.

  4. 100 times 0 = still 0 on Google's Smart Advertising Leads to More Clicks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I never click ads ... so they can make it a million times more effective, only the people who actually click on ads are affected. If it pays for all the free stuff on the internet, that's fine with me!

  5. Re:Maybe it's users making it not to work on Ships Turned Away As Aussie Customs' IT System Melts Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Users are part of the equation. If your new system does not improve upon the old situation, regardless of what the user's reaction is.. you have failed.

  6. The best new i-Pod would... on The Future of the iPod · · Score: 1

    .. in order of importance:

    - have a longer battery-life
    - be smaller/lighter
    - use (removable) flash instead of HD - in same size
    - support OGG Vorbis
    - be able to play video/photo's to a video-out (instead of color-screen)

  7. Re:Questions about this on Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children · · Score: 1

    This is exactly what is wrong in (Dutch) politics these days. When a problem rises, and the existing institutions fail .. a new system is invented, which will probably fail also.

    Instead, more effort may be put into making the existing institutions work more efficiently with less bureaucratic administration.

  8. Re:Coral Cache Link on Original Einstein Manuscript Discovered · · Score: 1

    You are also wrong...
    '.nl' look it up.

  9. Re:Simpler solution: password cards on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 1

    This same bank, now also give you the option to recieve those codes on SMS after entering your transaction. So you don't even know any of the codes until you send a transaction.

    Phishers then need to fake 2 systems:
    1) The website
    2) SMS-delivery service
    and have your username and password.

    And still they wouldn't have the correct code.

  10. Re:In other news.... on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can point to keys for a car on the street all I want.

    This won't become a crime by saying to anyone how easy it is to steal it,
    or even saying that you think people SHOULD steal it..

    It is NOT the same as ordering someone to steal it.

  11. Re:Quantum Computing... on A Working Quantum Computer in 3 Years? · · Score: 1

  12. Re:Batman's weakness on How to Become A Real-World Superhero · · Score: 1

    You're probably forgetting his batsense ...
    He'll be able to jump away just in time.

    To the contrary... Osama Bin Laden IS a nice man. If he likes you that is.

    There are always more sides to a truth.

  14. Re:Predicting the future on Simulated Universe · · Score: 1

    This applies to the 4 dimensions of space-time.
    We will be able to make it possible if we find a catalyst to be of no significant influence on our Universe, but is still connected.

  15. Only makes it worse... on Oregon Woman Sues Yahoo for $3 Million · · Score: 1

    The smartest thing to do, when you're pictures are on the internet..
    .. is to at least get them offline as discretely as possible.

    So noooo suing for 3 million dollars!

  16. Re:April 1st? on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Consindering Google-humor, that just might be all the more reason to suspect it is...

  17. Picture on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Chosun.com has a picture

    I strongly doubt that this picture is actual footage from the display picture-quality. Seems to me that they've inserted a nice image with some photo-editing software. It is just to show the outer case.
  18. Microsoft's own layer on Google's Next Steps · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe Microsoft is working on a search system integrated into the next Windows version.
