  5. Re:Depends on what you are doing on Sending Excess Load To the Cloud? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    That's only layer 7 & 8.

    Everthing else is still turned on.

  6. Location, location, location. on Microsoft Innovates Tent Data Centers · · Score: 2, Funny

  7. Lift engine. on Japanese Begin Working On Space Elevator · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're going to use Mothra for the lift engine of the elevators.

  8. It's not that. on XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 Released, Now Cross-Platform · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

  9. Just remember. on San Fran Hunts For Mystery Device On City Network · · Score: 4, Interesting
    These are the guys that the "rogue" admin said were too stupid to run the thing in the first place.

    You think they've learned anything about the gear since then? No wonder they're having problems.

  10. Re:Loaded question on Will W3C Accept DRM For Webfonts? · · Score: 5, Funny
    60% will think "That depends on how much money Microsoft throws at the W3C.
    35% will think "So what, I won't use it anyway."
    4% will think "Microsoft should do whatever it pleases, nothing has stopped it from doing that anyway."

    The remaining 1% will be various trolls and flamebait.

  11. Because of articles like this. on Bottom of the Barrel Book Reviews — The Lost Blogs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am going to disable the Idle section in my user prefs.

  12. Still dependent on technology. on Ask Literacy Bridge Founder About Charity, Education, and the "Talking Book" · · Score: 4, Insightful
    What are you doing to prevent over dependence of the users on the talking book. Human nature being what it is, there will be a percentage of users that will probably simply let the Talking Book read to them without bothering to actually read because it's simpler than making the effort to learn to read.

    Do you have plans to prevent this and encourage actual literacy instead of pseudo-literacy?

  13. Well, there's your problem. on Software, Tools, Or Techniques For UI Review? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...and with all our UI developers involved, it adds up...

    Too many cooks, as it were.

  14. What I'd like to see. on Carmack to Bring "Graphical Tour de Force" to the iPhone · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can you imagine using the iPhone camera to capture the environment that you're in, like a street in NYC, and using that as a real time background for a FPS? It would put something like zombies in the image and real people in the image would be "hostages" that you need to protect or save.

  15. Huh. on Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist · · Score: 5, Funny

    "little people who look strange to us."

    Well, maybe we look strange to them, too. Ever think of that?

  16. This should be good. on Big Six UK ISPs Capitulate To Music Industry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You thought watching SCO trials was fun, you ain't seen nothing yet. There's going to be some fireworks over this one when they sue the wrong person.

  17. Re:Honest question. on Selling Online with Drupal e-Commerce · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I'll have to look into it.

  18. Honest question. on Selling Online with Drupal e-Commerce · · Score: 1, Informative

    I've never heard of Drupal before. Is this another flavor of the month software package?

    Dangerous? Yes. But way cool.
