  1. Re:What's that I smell? on Nanoparticles Could Make Hydrogen Cheaper Than Gasoline · · Score: 1

    LOL, +1 funny, I'd mod you up if I could.

  2. Re:Makes one wonder ... on Feds Seize $78M of Bogus Chinese Cisco Gear · · Score: 1

    Yets its really counterfeit. I got a couple of T1 cards off ebay that were counterfeit. The parts work, but they don't fit quite right...take some extra effort to insert and remove). You can also tell by looking: http://www.andovercg.com/services/cisco-counterfeit-wic-1dsu-t1.shtml And while both counterfeits did work, one died within about a month. The other may still work but I dunno cause I replaced them both with two real cisco cards.

    Oh yes, I for one prefer NaCl (table salt) over H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) cause I like making Clorine Gas with Drain cleaner as by products and only 1 hydrogen atom ... as apposed using H2S04 that produces twice the Hydrogen and oxygen gas as by products. NOT! When will people learn, you do not want to use salt as a catalyst for making hydrogen...unless your a terrorist.

  4. Tetris...oh yea, he's the one to ask :) on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 1

    I think what destroyed his market was people got tired of variations of tetris and the like. I mean it gets old after a while...I think open source has not hurt his market. While I am sure his fish aquarium was a winner, it too is about a useful as . . . well lets just say as useful as having yet another tetris variant

  5. Anonymous Child? on Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Quit posting crap articles like this...this is obviously about a 14 year old boy that thinks his sister needs security from his clueless parents.

  6. Gummy Worms? on Smart Rubber Promises Self-Mending Products · · Score: 1

    Looks like gummy worms to me, I coulda made them same video with those.

  7. Classmates on Facebook A Black Hole For Personal Info · · Score: 1

    Classmates.com is that way too. I finally just went in and changed my named to Yo Mamma, and my email to something like as*hole@f*ckoff.com. Finally I was free I thought, but later I had to dig deeper into my profile and change some other things, finally it died I guess...not really sure as I had already added classmates.com to my spam blacklist.

  8. Re:Should msft buy Intuit? on Microsoft Trolling for New Acquisitions · · Score: 1

    Acemoney is a pretty good alternative http://www.mechcad.net/products/acemoney/. In fact its very easy to use and unlike quicken it supports old import formats still in addition to all the new ones.

  9. Re:Speaking of Silverlight... on Microsoft Trolling for New Acquisitions · · Score: 1

    Amen AC, my thoughts exactly. Why do I have to install flash to use the internet...didn't want it either but many sights are 100% flash and offer no alternative (such as my bank's site), now I have one more thing to install if silverlight becomes popular...please oh please let them both die...

  10. Yup on Microsoft Trolling for New Acquisitions · · Score: 1

    I can see that, release a crappy new version of windows, nobody buys it, look for a new revenue stream by buying up a few good idea companies...though these choices they made just look like another sad attempt by monkeyboy to take over googles place in the market.

  11. Well that explains a lot on One Step Closer to IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I noticed the AAAA records when I did a dig the other yesterday to get updates of my root servers. I thought I needed to update something cause it looked off, while I realized it was ipv6 addresses, I said those shouldn't be there. As far as needing to get allocations, your current ipv4 allocations will work fine on the ipv6 network once its fully meshed will it not? After all all the ipv4 addresses are just grouped under one ipv6 allocation block...so why would they want people to rush out and get ipv6 allocations, or do they just mean new network allocations?

  12. Hmm...I think not... on Handheld Supercomputers in 10-15 Years? · · Score: 1

    I see comments like this and I think...now if its a hand-held device, will it really be a supercomputer? I think what hes really saying is that the power of "todays" supercomputers will be in your hand...which is a safe bet. I still think the real supercomputers will be housed in some large complex as always, one of which will probably encompass several magnitudes of the power of all the ones we now have on the top 500 list. I say "small supercomputers" will always be an oxymoron by definition of a supercomputer, that is my prediction.

  13. TurboLinux on Turbolinux Is Latest To Sign Microsoft Pact · · Score: 1

    The last I used of turbolinux was back when the pre-release testing was going on, and I went through some of the early alpha releases. I helped the guy do some testing with it for some time and made some suggestions, he was just a one man show back then I believe. Later he sent me the first couple official releases so I checked them out, then I went back to using slackware/suse for my servers/desktops. I figured it went the way of stampede and other less popular releases.

  14. Re:It doesn't "remotely shut down vehicles" on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps the police would abuse the system. For ... for what exactly? Cops...well the ones I know would use it for the ultimate booty call. Fine blond drives by, he hits the disable button and then drives by and says...what seems to be the trouble ma'am. Then he talks her out of a little and "fixes" her car and sends her on her way.
  15. Marketing at its worst again... on Ballmer Suggests Linux Distros Will Soon Have to Pay Up · · Score: 1

    MS is just mad about Eolas hitting them with infringement. Ballmer made the statement that the patent system needs reform, so he obviously is just planning to get opensource advocates on their bandwagon and then they are gonna go after the US patent system. So this is all just another Ballmer style marketing scheme, nothing more.

  17. Re:Couldn't this be done in software? on Seagate Releases Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it would be much slower and would use cpu cycles to do it.

    Didn't samsung or some such outfit already do this?

    Oh my, we better put a nuke in the center of it. Perhaps we should go find an offshore oil crew and teach them how to work in space. Oh wait...never mind

  21. Carbon? on Microsoft Extends XP's Life By 6 Months · · Score: 1

    That certain element is carbon. As in every life form.

  22. Re:Fraudster? on Ebay Hacked, User Info Posted · · Score: 4, Informative

    They called him a fraudster because the credit card info did not match the users card info, so they think its just a fake attempt to scare ebayers.

  23. Infomercial? on Why AnywhereCD Failed · · Score: 1

    Oh please...its obviously a marketing ploy. Hurry come buy mindlessly while supplies last, only 5 days left on this greaaaat offer.

  24. Re:Communism? on Chinese Worm Creator Gets High-Paying Job Offer In Prison · · Score: 1

    1 Million Yuan is 130K in US dollars which is good but not great for the title they are offering him. Now I do agree that is a lot considering that china's cost of living is low, but still not all that amazing in US terms.
