  1. Re: can we expect... on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    So, you are saying there won't be any WKRP in Cincinnati?

  2. just an ad on A Glance At 24 Keyboards & Mice · · Score: 1

    This is not a review it is just an add for a few products. Wonder if PCMag slipped a little of the $$ towards /. for posting it.

  3. Re:THERES MY TUTITION! on Fake ATM Fraud Expose · · Score: 1

    based on your spelling you need all you can get

    I am running test 7 on my laptop now. Works perfectly.

  5. Re:whats the big deal on New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon" · · Score: 1

    What would interest me is to know how well it would run Linux if it ran natively on the processor's own instruction set.

  6. Re:crazy on New PPC/Linux PDA Reference Design From IBM · · Score: 1

    >Trying to tweak it to run on a PDA

  8. Re:On Mitnick on The Art of Deception · · Score: 1

    "catch me if you can"

  9. Re:please on Derivative Works And Open Source · · Score: 1

    Linux actually loses out if developers cannot link their programs to general libraries without having to release their software under GPL.

    I choose to develop cross platform applications but still desire to keep the source closed. If I must release the source in order to link to printf then there will not be Linux versions of my software. Windows will continue to dominate and some applications will only be written to that platform.

  10. Re:Maybe.. on Human vs Computer Intelligence · · Score: 1

    You are obviously are under 25 years old.

  11. Re:Satellite = bad idea on Another Stab At Internet Access By Satellite · · Score: 1

    That is because their angle to the sattelites is so extreme. Wired had an article on Antartica a few months back.

  12. Re:Looking for advice on Chip Makers Selling Fewer High-End CPUs · · Score: 1

    No, but it will make the internet run faster.

  13. Wired had an article a couple of months back on More on GM's New Fuel Cell Cars · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wired had an article a couple of months back:

  14. Preview on Sony's New Bookshelf MP3 Player -- Audio TiVo? · · Score: 1

    Ooops -- messed up that link, now fixed.

    Use the Preview Button! Check those URLS! Don't forget the http://!

  15. Re:Balderdash on Why Japan Gets the Cool Stuff · · Score: 1

    You might have quoted the article:

    Finally, I can read Slate in the bathroom!

    and said,

    "but, unfortunately, can't wipe myself with it!"

    but you weren't that crude.

  16. Surf away... on News Sites Getting to Know You · · Score: 1

    BELO started this reg thing on their local NBC station's web site. Fine, I just surf on over to CBS and ABC.

    Your account will last about 5 minutes.

    Unfortunately, so will your freedom. Along will come the FBI.

  20. Eat it? on Fun with Fingerprint Readers · · Score: 0

    Gummy fingers can even fool sensors being watched by guards. Simply form the clear gelatin finger over your own. This lets you hide it as you press your own finger onto the sensor. After it lets you in, eat the evidence.

    Would you eat gelatin that has been on a surface touched by who knows how many hands? If the guards didn't catch you some disease would.

  21. Re:C+_ on Standard C++ Moves Beyond Vapor · · Score: 1

    I actually thought it was a new language until I read the message.

    C+_ looks kind of like C+- so maybe it wasn't sure if it was better or worse than C.

  22. Re:A cautionary tale on States Drop Planned Presentation of Modular Windows · · Score: 1

    _Obviously_, my dear Watson!

  23. Re:A cautionary tale on States Drop Planned Presentation of Modular Windows · · Score: 1

    IIRC, they didn't do fingerprints back in the Holmes stories. That was tech to come later in time.

  24. So many trash addresses on The Story of "Nadine" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Make you wonder just how many *millions* of trash email addresses and fake names are in many databases that collect info from web forms.

    How often does a person enter false info because one *has* to to download, proceed, etc.

  25. Re:Go To Kinko's!!!! on Digitizing Your Dead Trees? · · Score: 0

    Will they let you bulk copy copyrighted books?
