  1. What it's used for? on Quantum Holography · · Score: 1

    It seems like this type of device would be more useful when you know what's in the sealed container and want a holographic image of it. So maybe you have an Xbox controller and you want to send someone a holographic image so they can see how huge it is. But since you need one of these special compartments, I don't think it will be very useful for seeing things inside any old container, such as checked luggage. Unless I misunderstood how this thing works?

  2. Re:Judge for yourself people on Inside The Nintendo GameCube · · Score: 1

    Actually, all of them (not just ad3) are commercials for Majora's Mask, which is an N64 game.

  3. Re:Fan? on Inside The Nintendo GameCube · · Score: 1

    It's not really noticeable when you're playing. It's pretty quiet. But in the middle of the night when the house is silent and you're sitting there trying to figure out what the heck you're supposed to do next to get past a level in Luigi's Mansion, you might notice it then.

  4. Hate speech on Council of Europe Pushes Net Hate-Speech Ban · · Score: 2, Troll

    Obviously the Council of Europe hates racists and are being given a public platform for their hateful beliefs! The N.Y. Times should be forced to remove this hate speech from their web site!

  5. Re:word docs on NeuStar to Manage .US Registry · · Score: 1

    Strange but true, I know of another certain large organization that would like to combine all Americans under one roof, and would require them to be running MS Word as well.

  6. Re:"dynamic" search engine on AltaVista Can't Keep Up · · Score: 1

    I agree, the caching is really nice and is the Google feature I like best. Anytime I used to use any other search engine, I would get tons of 404s and no way to know what might have been there when the page was crawled. Most of the time, what's in Google's cache is good enough. Not to mention it's all marked up in pretty colors, mmm.

  7. Re:Just a little Story on Polaroid Can't Compete with Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    Nope, it means I haven't seen anyone with a Polaroid at a party, AC.

  8. Re:Just a little Story on Polaroid Can't Compete with Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    People at a party will really choose a Polaroid
    camera over a digital one, given a choice? That's
    not my experience. I don't think I've even seen
    a Polaroid camera in over 10 years. On the other
    hand, it's not uncommon to see small crowds
    gathering around the person with the digital
    camera to swoon about how nifty it is.
