  1. Re:Works only with cat 5 air on 802.11b at 22mbps · · Score: 1

    Cat5 air, i behind... must upgrade. what did they do, double the amount of pixies in it?

  2. When will they learn... on Dataplay Ready to Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lets look at the problems with this product

    1. Compression, they use lossy compression so of course lower audio quality.
    2. CD's already have a foothold, why the hell would i want to buy more usless junk when i can hardly play anything on it.
    3. Its devolution not evolution.
    4. Copy protection is futile, as long as the audio is output decrypted its copyable. Unless they do the decryption in the headphones. Then its just really hard.

    I'm going to laugh if someone acctully buys one of these. But then there are britiny spears fans who have rich parents. Enough said.

  3. just shoot me... on U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID · · Score: 1

    A natoinal ID program isnt that bad in my option, thats if they keep monitoring to a minimum. Now if a commercial company like microsoft is doing it, expect everything to be tracked. It wouldnt suprise me if we saw personalied MS adds where ever we went.

    Microsoft: No, we are not a monopoly

  4. The problem with ogg on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 1

    As much as i want to use the open source alternative to MP3, I really can't.

    Unless i find a way of converting 5000+ songs in less than a couple days.

  5. hehe... on Best High-Tech Toilet? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    As long as thy have nothing to do with the three seashells

  6. now only if they get down to the price of a toy. on Sony's New Bi-Pedal Robot · · Score: 0

    It reminds me the teddy bear in A.I. Just as some fur and subtract a few thousand dollors and you have it.

  7. are you sure its not... on Sleep Less, Live Longer · · Score: 0

    Being awake more makes it seem like you live longer?

  8. Minnesota on Escaflowne & Metropolis Hit US Big Screens Friday · · Score: 0

    Would anyone have an idea of when we might see either movie in Minneapolis or anywhere in minnesota for that matter. I'd much rather see them on a big screen rather than on DVD.

  9. About time.... on The End of The X-Files · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It was starting to get really stupid with the original cast leaving. I did like the show however untill mulder left.

  10. Just what i always wanted... on Searchable Audio/Video Technology · · Score: 1

    Commercials on demand..

  11. What happened to me... on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    All throughout HS i was aiming for going into a CS Degree, but by the time i reached my senior year just the preparedness was burning me out. So i chose to look at another degree and choose media arts and animation at the local Art Instutite. A degree in animation requires a use of techncal skills as it also allows you to use your creativity. The still accepting me with a lack of art classes thoughout HS. I start this winter.

  12. What if on Microsoft Calls Viruses "Industrial Terrorism" · · Score: 1

    What if i use a crack to break copyright protection. Should i expect the FBI, SWAT an local police to suround my house and say "we know you have the crack... come out with your hands above your head"

  13. Eye for an eye. on RIAA Wants Right To Hack · · Score: 1

    If they want the right to hack us.... then they should be giving us the right to hack them.

  14. Re:Box office on Final Fantasy Movie Interview · · Score: 1

    i don't think they are worried about box office for the US becuase they will make up the rest of the budget when it hits japan... hmm one of the first anime-like movies to be released in the US first instead of japan.

  15. Re:ludicrous on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Isn't it a bit past two years

  16. Money for Mir on Buy Yourself A Russian Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    My guess is this is where some of the money to keep Mir up is comming from.

  17. Why else would they be free on Privacy Concerns and The CueCat · · Score: 1

    They aren't the first to use this idea but they did have a creative way of doing it. There is a company that gives away free computers, but thier tracking is a little more obvios. Since we consumers are attracted to stuff that we don't have to pay for, we sometimes forget to look for the strings that are attached.
