  1. Re:news? on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 2, Funny

    You're new here, aren't you? ;D

  2. Re:Wow, these are still around? on Self-Heating Coffee Cans Recalled · · Score: 2, Informative

    You'd much rather have splenda than aspartame. To me, that's like saying you'd rather have skin cancer than lung cancer ;-)
    I avoid artificial sweeteners, all of them. I am not fanatic about it, I can drink an artificially sweetened soft drink if there are no others and I feel like one.
    Check out some of the links returned by googling for sucralose. One of them (possibly more), like this one contain user testimonials (if asked for email just enter webmaster@mercola.com). Interesting stuff. Dr. Mercola has a page on it (link on the same page).

    That stuff just isn't good for you.

  3. Re:Wow, these are still around? on Self-Heating Coffee Cans Recalled · · Score: 2, Informative

    Could be because of the sceptics of sucralose.
    Nah, who am I kidding, just look at the wikipedia article for aspartame...

  4. Lots of stuff on Alternatives to Citrix Remote Computing? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Lots of stuff, some might not have what you are looking for... But hey, sift through these, and see if there is anything of interest :-)

    HTH :)

  5. Cutting edge on Megapixels & Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Cutting edge is not 2 mega pixel, it at least 3. Check out the SonyEricsson K790a, it has a 3.2 MP camera and is actually branded as a CyberShot digital camera. And phone. If you don't know it, CyberShot is Sony's digital camera brand. CyberShot cameras are generally good, but admittedly I haven't tried the new phone. Of course to review the cameras you have to do a thorough job.
    I'd wait until someone like Philip Askey of dpreview.com or Steve's Digicams made a favorable review. At least if it's a camera you need ;)

  6. Actually on Study Explains Evolution's Molecular Advance · · Score: 1

    According to creationists, that person would be God. Per definition ;)

  7. A little more info on Self Contained Water Cooled Radeon X1900, Retail · · Score: 4, Informative

    On Sapphire Technologies there is a little more info, but not much.

  8. Spore looks to be GREAT on Spore Is EA's New Ace · · Score: 1

    From what I've seen, Spore looks to be awesome! Simply huge! I wonder, though, when it will be done - From what I've heard it's been developed on for a LONG time. From the video, it looks fairly complete, though!

  9. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    You said it yourself, they don't know why you're doing it. I think the effect would be much more effective, if you were to hurl a bucket of paint on them :)

  10. I agree! Mantis! on Personal Ticket Tracking System for Admins? · · Score: 1

    I considered bugzilla at our business, but some of the users reporting bugs, would never figure that out - I installed Mantis and it was a success - So much so, that they started using it to request features etc ;P

  11. No, it's there alright on Octopiler to Ease Use of Cell Processor · · Score: 4, Informative

    Nah, it's there. Download it, if you want ;)

  12. Meaningless on NASA Detects Nearby Mystery Explosion · · Score: 1

    It's meaningless in imperial measurements. That'll be around 4,162,632,500,000,000,000,000 km.
    The Milky Way is around 946,052,840,000,000,000 km in diameter (our galaxy galaxy, not the candy bar, though I wish).
    That's 4,400 times the diameter of the galaxy ;P Near? :D

  13. Re:So how do we... on Quantum Computer Works Better Shut Off · · Score: 1

    But how do you know that you didn't already buy more cats?

  14. Maybe they mean on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    I think they mean 1.2 PB per platter, although we're way above 1.2 GB per platter :)

  15. Read other business plans on What's the Best Way to Write a Business Plan? · · Score: 1

    The best advice, by far, is: Read other business plans! Of course you should mainly read those that got the company finances ;) After you read a few, you start to see your own format emerge :-)

    Good luck!

  16. Re:Fame a Factor? on Tennis Pro Swaps Racket for Railgun · · Score: 1

    Never heard of Tresh, who is it? What did (s)he play? AFAIK Fatal1ty is the first one that is internationally known, he's even been to Denmark at least one time, to show off at an event in the Boomtown cafe :)

  17. Clarification on RIAA Sues Woman Who Has Never Used a Computer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let me clarify your post:

    1. Rip pages out of telephone directory
    2. Pin to wall as darts target
    3. Throw dart
    4. Sue all those that weren't hit by dart
    5. Profit!!!
    (6. Repeat) :)

  18. Re:Point of interest on Intel Loses Market Share to AMD · · Score: 1

    But TFA also says that AMD has >52% of the desktop CPU market.
    I don't know where you shop, but where I shop, AMD is waaay cheaper than Intel, and always have been. You get a lot more bang for your buck with AMD, especially if you are a gamer!

  19. They did on Piracy Setup Discovered in WV Capitol Building · · Score: 2, Informative

    From TFA: "Not all the purchased computers and gear can be located, Ferguson said."

  20. Re:That depends on Who Owns Baseball Statistics? · · Score: 1

    You're not getting me. If I stand at the nearest road, from 8 morning until 5 afternoon, and note every car, make and model etc, and do a lot of statistics on it. What I have created is mine. I can sell this if I want to. Hell, I can write a book and publish it. That is still covered by copyright.
    Ok, I'm a bit tired right now, that wasn't the best example, but I hope you catch my drift.

  21. That depends on Who Owns Baseball Statistics? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That depends! If the MLB collected the statistics, and just gave their customers some sort of database, spreadsheet or whatever, then of course they should get money for it.
    If the fantasy league themselves have collected the statistics, then of course the MLB should not get a cent.

  22. My head almost exploded! on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: 1

    I simply LOVE that series! I put it at the very top of my "best animated series"-list!
    I feel a quote from professor Farnsworth is in order:

    - Everyone, I have a very dramatic announcement, so anyone with a weak heart should leave now. Goodbye!

    I can't wait!

  25. Re:No! God did it! on Humanity Responsible For Current Climate Change · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The main problem is that in many US cities there is no choice but to drive everywhere.

    Sure. I can accept that. What I can't accept is the whine about gas prises, from people who drive cars that aren't really economic. I mean with 10 MPG or there abouts, you have no right to complain ;P
    Invest in a more economic car, that goes 50 MPG or more.

    For the record, I pay around USD $5.70 per gallon. And yes, I do whine about it too. Car prises in Denmark are insane though, so I can't afford to switch cars (mine only gets around 32 MPG)...
