  1. Re:What questions? on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 1

    But aren't the lesson plans essentially property of whoever paid the teachers for the time they used to developed said plans?

  2. Re:We're looking to AUSTRALIA for advice on broadb on Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    Few countries have the landmass to compare to the US.. So focus instead on the density.

    Why not look at Sweden (density of 20.6/km2 vs 31/km2)? Low cost, high speed and no caps.

  3. Re:There must be a better way on "Smart" Parking Meters Considered Dumb · · Score: 1

    Wasn't GP refering to cellphones?

    Arrive at parking spot, send text with license plate, get text back saying that you car is parked until X.

    That seems like the simplest solutions, and you wouldn't have to walk 1/2 block. Laziness FTW!

  4. Re:No Wii on Resident Evil 5 Dev Talks Demo Feedback · · Score: 1

    Just like the gamecube, which saw Resident Evil 4 first of all platforms?

  5. Death penalty on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    "Can not sleep and bad cough - I am still in the shock state after the
    death penalty.

    Will see a GP later today."

  6. hip name on Microsoft Secret Prototype Phone Stolen · · Score: 1

    they really know how to name things. not something silly and easy to say like "app store".

    Windows Marketplace for Mobiles ftw!

    *sighs*

  7. Re:So tired (of all this bullshit) on Fallout 3 DLC and Games For Windows Live Woes · · Score: 1

    Seriously... if you went out to the local bowling alley, and the guy on the desk said 'You're a fucking thief, and a liar, and we'll be watching you. Here's your shoes and have fun!' ... I would not be having fun at the bowling alley.

    The guy at the desk also have to tell you to wait 20-30 mins, even though all the lanes are free, because that's how long it takes to fire up a lane.

  8. Why boot? on Fast-Booting Text-Editor Operating System? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why would you ever turn off a laptop?

    My Macbook Pro is always on. I close the lid and it sleeps. When I open the lid it's up and running in about 2-5 seconds.

    God bless Apple!

  9. Re:HardeeHarHar!!! on Norway's Yes-To-OOXML Is Formally Protested · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Have i missed something? on Half a Million Database Servers 'Have no Firewall' · · Score: 2, Informative

    You have.

    The more logical (and secure) solution would be

    {internet}
          |
    app-servers
          | (internal network)
    db-servers

  12. HyperDrive4 on Hynix 48-GB Flash MCP · · Score: 1

    Something that should be mentioned when talking about these things is HyperDrive4

  13. Re:That'll be AJAX on P2P Remains Dominant Protocol · · Score: 1

    OR it could be this new thing called "video", you know.. youtube

  14. Re:Not true! NeoOffice! on Sun Joins Mac Open Office Development · · Score: 0, Troll

    I would LOVE to use NeoOffice, but the fact that it SUCKS remains I'm afraid.

    I have tried and tried to use it, but it's crap at converting/reading Word documents (might be OOo, not the actual port) but the biggest problem i have with NeoOffice is the start-up time.

    On my Intel MacBook Pro it takes well over a minute to start(!)

    (call me flamebait!)

  15. The perfect poster for STALKER? on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Team Not Art Thieves · · Score: 2, Funny
  16. Amiga? on The CPU Redefined: AMD Torrenze and Intel CSI · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Am I the only one who thought "oh, they're reinventing the Amiga" while reading the summary?

  17. Re:Spotlight, Windows Search, here's an idea... on Spotlight Improvements In Leopard · · Score: 1

    http://mediadatabase.sourceforge.net/ seems to be what you're looking for

    FUSE + "Offline media content database" + find = happiness :)

  18. Re:TV-out anyone? on Sling Streams iTunes Content To TV · · Score: 3, Informative

    reply to my own post, bad, but..

    why not use TV-out and http://www.shoptronics.com/2wiauvisesyw.html if one wants to use tv-out but don't want a loooong cable (or put the pc next to the tv)?

    $120 cheaper than Sling Streams

  19. TV-out anyone? on Sling Streams iTunes Content To TV · · Score: 1

    Is it me or does this sound exactly like TV-out, but instead of a cable, it uses wi-fi between the computer and the box next to the tv?

  20. Re:CRT on Plasma or LCD? · · Score: 1

    there is nothing they can't do as well as the modern LCD/Plasma screens

    yes, there is

    plasma and lcd don't have the horrible refresh rate that crt's have

    and for people with bad eyes, refresh rate counts, a lot

  21. Re:Anyone know how to submit a resume there on Interplay Developing $75 Million Fallout MMOG · · Score: 1

    whois interplay.com gives:
    INTERPLAY ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
    100 N. Crescent Drive
    Beverly Hills, CA 90210
    US

    mobygames.com gives:
    Location and contact information in Dec. 1994:

    Interplay Productions Inc.
    17922 Fitch Avenue
    Irvine, CA 92714
    Tel: 714-553-6655

    but wikipedia says:
    Under "Contractual Obligations" it is revealed that Interplay does not have a headquarters at present because Interplay, in 2004, forfeited its lease and vacated its office space in Irvine, California.[4]

    good luck!

  22. Re:fake passports in 911? on British "Secure" Passports Cracked · · Score: 1

    Is this true? I had the impression that the 911 terrorists had valid ID, but I haven't read the 911 commssion report...

    oh, you mean one of these terrorists http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1559151.stm ?

  23. Dogs of War on Best 2+ Player Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Who have forgotten this beauty?

    The perfect 2-player game. Killing, upgrading of weapons and granades. What more can a man ask for?

  24. Resident Evil 4 on Best 2+ Player Video Games? · · Score: 4, Funny

    without a doubt Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube

    one person playing, the other one telling him/her what to do!
