  1. Whats to stop this on Technology Review Launches Futures Market · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What's to stop this from becoming real? Why can't I bet on things like this in Vegas or Atlantic City?

  2. Re:Is somebody gonna lose their job??? on Microsoft Forgets To Renew Hotmail.co.uk · · Score: 1

    well considering that this is the SECOND time this has happened, I don't believe that the person responsible learned the first time...

    Time for me to step in... you would think that they would use Outlook with a appointment reminder a week or so before the domain became due for every domain they have... but I suppose its to bogged down transmitting virii for them.

    Can you hear me now? over... hello... hello?

  4. Is somebody gonna lose their job??? on Microsoft Forgets To Renew Hotmail.co.uk · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems to me that the has happened at least 2 times. I hope someone loses their jjob over this.

    Then maybe I can find one, I can make sure that all the domains that microsoft owns are renewed every time they are due, I bet they own a large enough number to make it a full time job too.

  5. Re:Features on First Sony PSP Pictures Revealed · · Score: 1

    you should look to the minidisc for the statement that "And Sony owns Sony (music) so getting songs released in the new format should be trivial."

    I don't know about the JDM, but prerecorded disc's here in the U.S. are pretty hard to find. Even BEFORE the Minidisc became popular, there was a VERY small collection of disc's at places like BestBuy. Only time will tell if we the consumer will adopt this new format enough to warrant a new section at Tower Records and BestBuy for them.

  6. Re:Someone needs to invent... on Ideas Unlimited: 11 Suggestions for New Inventions · · Score: 1

    simple, move the yankees to another league...

    oh wait you would still have to play them IN the world series to win...

    to bad.

  7. Re:I'm very afraid. on Microsoft Voice Command Almost Here · · Score: 0, Troll

    thats why when you get there you order the

    "Number 2, small with a diet"

    they understand that much, because they are only listening for keywords.

    and here in So Cal, its almost impossible to order the number 2 with a coke, they always hear number 3 with a diet.

    I dont understand that but I have become acustomed to ordering the Numero Dos with a Coke Por Favore, and they seem to understand that.

  8. Re:odd size comparison on Hand-Sized Antelope Windows PC To Debut · · Score: 1

    I first read it as a Hand-Sized Antelope, and thought those damn Japanese will make anything miniature now.

  9. Re:Now, on Robot Sales Are Exploding · · Score: 1

    What, so now i'm going to have to keep up with the 'Smiths' AND the 'Joneses'?

  10. Re:Well, this is obvious. on Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files · · Score: 1

    Remember 1/2 of the CIA's budget is spent on DISinformation.

  11. Re:PDAs are not for all types of people on Death of the PDA? · · Score: 1

    I use my iPaq for WarDriving and playing games, and it holds all my phone numbers in style...

    It's geek factor, not "Need", whats THAT? Like I'm gonna spend that much money on something I "Need".

    I "need" underwear.
    I "want" gadgets.

  12. Re:Yeah, so? on Death of the PDA? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree,You can make a phone call on a palm handspring, does that mean cell phones are dead?

    Is the Game boy dead because the nGage came out?

    Just because a new product has the features of an older product and is used for pretty much the same purpose, does not mean that the other is "Dead"

  13. Re:PS2 and the need for one. on Possible PS2 Price Portent Pondered · · Score: 1

    for $99 i'll buy both, maybe pick up a second ps2 for a linux box.

  14. Less is more... on How a Computer Case Is Built · · Score: 1

    Give me a nondescript case that sits off in the corner, doesnt make a sound, and has everything I need in a small container, and I will be happy, I don't like these ugly cases.

    I want my desk to only contain my KB, Mouse, and my 3 head LCD setup. it speaks volumes, and is alot sexier that some hideously designed case whirring like a jet engine, taking up space and not matching anything.

  15. Re:You can thank me for this : ) on SunnComm Reconsiders Lawsuit Threat · · Score: 1

    The first virus that gets transmitted using that feature will surely get a security update to fix it back to normal though

  16. Re:Suing the wrong person on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    well that gives me an idea, maybe since the stock is so cheap we should buy some and then file a motion to sue them, or something like that...

  17. Re:Ever get that on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    LOL especially that word....

    maybe i did it on purpose, Yeah that's it

  18. Re:Ever get that on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    could there be a class action lawsuit against company's making this stuff to stop our rights to copy our own cd's?

    oh yeah, one's knowledge and the cover of academia to facilitate piracy

    [sarcasm]Am I the only person who's sole purpose of going to college was to facilitate piracy?[/sarcasm] C'MON don't be an asshole! Damn CEx's are STIPUD sometimes it really makes me wonder how company's survive

  19. Re:Suing the wrong person on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    I think we should all email them and request to be added to the suit. but only if you have linux, or have the autorun feature turned off...

    i think that if enough people do this it will probably make the news and show the rest of the people just how stupid this all is.

    my email is going off now.

  20. Re:What about the back? on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who want's to know what malted butter is?

    It sounds unhealthy as all get out, but in that reguard, tasty indeed.

    As someone else pointed out.

    How do they read the screen?

  22. Re:High time on Bureau of Engraving and Printing Issues New US$20 · · Score: 1

    Well that would then require the blind person to become familiar with the selections on a screen that they have never seen before.

    This I do not understand how to do.

  24. Re:Maybe on Could Isaac Newton Get a Faculty Job? · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe he could get together with PBS and host the show named after him...

    "Newton's Apple"

    Doo doo do do to do doo

    c'mon you know the theme

  25. The more important question on Could Isaac Newton Get a Faculty Job? · · Score: 1

    I didn't know Isaac Newton was still alive!

    I think that given his age and his contributions to the physics world, he should be given an honorary job at least, and give him tenure too, Jebus the man's old enough.
