  1. Disembarking? on Ocean Floor Crust Wound to Be Explored · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If they're set to leave next week, wouldn't they in fact be embarking on this voyage rather than disembarking (as in from their research vessel)?

  2. Re:she may be a bitch... on Vonage Vows to Pursue Customers Who Renege on IPO · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Er... WTF?

  3. Webbies? How about the Flashies? on 2006 Webby Award Winners Announced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously, can they rename these things the flashies? Withouth the plugin, I can't see 90% of the pages up there. Shouldn't RememberSegregation.com be in HTML and compatible across all browsers for equality? They don't even have a separate but equal HTML version. No flash, no cigar.

  4. OMG The Office! on RIAA Approved mp3 Player Reviewed · · Score: 1

    OMG - it's a reference to the US version of the Office. Isn't it? The name sounds familiar, but I'm too lazy to check. Can anyone back me up on this?

  5. Re:I love Westerners.. on Navy Sued for Sonar-Blasting Whales · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's of the utmost importance not to piss off the whales. The future of our planet could depend on it! Haven't you see Star Trek IV yet???!

  6. What Architecture? on Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know what type of architecture these prosthetic limbs run on? Is it ARM?
    Yeah.. I couldn't help myself.

  7. Ugly! on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    Looking at the screenshot located at http://betanews.sjc.cachenetworks.com/betanews/art icles/1101831853/netscape.png, this has got to be the ugliest browser I have seen. Kind of looks like slashdot, come to think of it... Still, no excuse for displacing the menu bar. Whatever happened to usability guidelines and standard UI widgets?

  8. Potential for advertisers? on Mogi Location-Based Mobile Gaming Hits Japan · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I can definitely see how this type of thing could be commercialized and taken advantage of. Imagine Starbucks paying the publisher to place extra special items in the vicinity their stores.. or a Makudonald's

  9. Re:The Problem with the Zaurus on Zaurus SL-C860 Review · · Score: 5, Informative

    Also, unless you back up/sync your Zaurus religiously, when the battery power is gone, so is all your data, programs, etc. Um.. sorry. That's absolutely wrong. NAND memory does not go away when you let the battery drain. It even mentions it in the review.

  10. BL is BS! on Blender Is GPL · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We donated our money to the Blender project with the expectation that it would be Open Sourced and GPL'd - however, this seems not to be the case. Included in the source is the so-called 'BL License' that allows 3rd parties to use the existing Blender code base and keep their modifications to themselves. This stifles a major part of the GPL and is not what we paid for!

    From the License:
    For teams that don't want to operate under the GPL, we're also offering
    this "non-GPL" Blender License option. This means that you can download
    the latest sources and tools via FTP or CVS from our site and sign an
    additional agreement with the Blender Foundation, so you can keep your
    source modifications confidential. Contact the Blender Foundation via
    email at license@blender.org so we can discuss how we handle the
    practical matters

  11. Mark Wahlberg's Height on Review: Planet of the Apes · · Score: 1

    In the original, Charlton Heston played the towering hero Col. George Taylor, the arrogant and stranded space traveler. In this re-engineering, rechristened Capt. Leo Davidson, Mark Wahlberg, takes over. As great as he was in Three Kings and Boogie Nights, historical comparison isn't kind to Wahlberg, who seems to really lack stature. He looks stunned from the minute he lands on this strange planet, and he spends much of 125 minutes mumbling platitudes to simians and humans and running from some ferocious, brilliantly-rendered and truly mean pes


    Taylor is an Air Force guy, right? Well, to honest Katz, Marky-Mark is more believable in this role, and Charlton Heston is too tall. They have height restrictions in the AF you know.. Plus, his reaction to being stranded on a planet of apes isn't arrogance, it's bad acting.
