  1. Re:Before anyone gets in a huff... on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 1

    Um, last time i checked, if you want your kid to go to a private school, you have to pay for them to go there, and still pay your property taxes. Granted that yes, most of your property taxes go to run the school system, but the rest also goes to run the rest of your town (ie: police, fire, etc). In this case free would be not having to pay for school twice.

    Agree, the parents should not have to buy a laptop, mac or otherwise, for use in public school.

    P.S. How soon before a male student files a discrimination lawsuit?

    That would depend on on how many male students want to take the class and get rejected for not being female.

    Or...six good quality projectors. No more bezel issue, and six times the resolution!

    And a drive-in-movie screen to project it on, unless you have that much space in your house...

  6. Re:Sounds good. on One Video Card, 12 Monitors · · Score: 1

    I could see this being useful in a NOC setup. the NOC for my job has 12 PC's that run 25 monitors. I helped them out with buy setting upSynergy to cut down on the number of keyboards and mice, but with two of these cards, we could could cut that down to one or two PC's. It would make life for the NOC admin's much easier, not to mention the cost savings on running 10 less PC's.

  7. Re:in other news, cementing the BP CEO has started on Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? · · Score: 1

    Agree. It's just like the debate going on in congress right now over the $75M cap. If they remove the cap, or set it to $100B, the "smaller" oil companies wouldn't be able to drill. well if you don't have the money to do the clean up, then you shouldn't be drilling in the first place.

    I think that before any new drilling project is approved, the company applying for the permits must submit how they will fix/close any leak/spill, and that those plans must be reviewed and approved. this way the plans would already be in place, allowing them to remedy the problem in much less time. In the long run, it will save everyone money, from the company doing the drilling, down to the fisherman that works in the waters by the oil rig.

  8. Re:Brainstorming? on Google Wave Now Open To All · · Score: 1

    I can see this only really taking off, if they completely open the rest of the code (web front end) so that each company could run their own fully functional wave server. Then you wouldn't have to worry bout Google's privacy (or lack there of) policies. I seem to remember them saying something about this in the kickoff from last year's IO...

    And because M$ won the marking, most users will stay with winblows (and continue to buy a new computer every few years) because that is what they are "used to". Trying to instill change in someone is hard thing to do.

  18. when i was a kid on St. Louis Museum Offers Thrills, Chills, and Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember when I was a kid bumps, scraps, scratches and the like were part o growing up. My parents never sued if I fell out of my neighbors tree, and cut my arm. This just seems to be the continuing trend of "you didn't tell me it could be dangous, then it's your fault, pay me" I saw a while back that a fishing lure manufacture had to put a warning label on the package saying "harmful if swallowed" not because of the sharp hooks (as if sharp hooks aren't enough of a deterrent), but because it contained a small amount of lead. Look at how power tools have changed over the years to make them "safer" yet more difficult to use, all so that then you put your fingers in blade while it's on, the manufacture isn't liable of you being a dumbass.
