  1. gmail isn't all smiles and sunshine... on The End of Email Cometh? · · Score: 1

    ...even if google does seem to be the land of chocolate.
    This website does a good job summing it up:
    gmail creepy.

  2. Re:How about an X-Files Lantern ($1800-$4000) on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1

    How much does the damn thing weigh?

    In the text of the web page, it says 3.2 pounds. Okay.

    But then they write (156 grams). ?!?!?? I know Reagan
    cut all the metric education, but come on... that's not
    even close.

    Then, down below in the specs section, they convert 3.2
    pounds as 145 grams. WTF?

    Makes me a little nervous about their technology in general...

  3. source has been released on FSF Threatens GPL Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Informative

    sdk is here.


    freetv has the announcement.

    Intriguingly, the postlink sources have a makefile for linux even though OpenTV doesn't officially support linux. Hopefully they'll release their toolchain for linux RSN.

  4. witches of karres by schmitz on Great Science Fiction that is Out of Print? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Without question, you should read the Witches of
    Karres. It was out of print for years, but a small print
    run occurred a few years ago. Amazon seems to
    have a few (it costs $30). This seems to have produced a
    glut of the older paperback copies (check bookfinder.com)
    -- before the new print run, it was almost impossible to
    find. This is fantastic old-school sci fi.

  5. Re:How closely are the casino's being watched? on Net Vegas · · Score: 1

    This is wrong.

    A 2% disadvantage means that on every bet, you
    should expect to lose 2% of your money.

    That means over the long haul you don't walk
    away with 98% of your money, you walk away with
    0% (well, that's the limit, and given that you
    can't slice minimum bets, you hit that limit).

  6. MC Hawking's work is free! on MP3.com To Restart My.MP3.com · · Score: 2

    Some artists are making their works available for free. MC (Stephen) Hawking has put up three of his works for no cost. Check it out.

  7. Re:Time to buy on MP3 Player Released For Handspring Visor · · Score: 5

    And you can load up MC (Stephen) Hawking's
    latest rap tunes to play on it.
