  1. Why the mouse ? on Smart Mouse with E-Mail and IM Alerts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why the fuck would you want you fucking mouse to do this ? A mouse is there for interactivity in a GUI, or more generally to represent the analogy between hand movements and virtual movements.

    Why should the mouse ever check for email ? I have a programamble computer to do things like that.

    This is the worst case of slashvertisement ever ! I'm sad I'm not a subscriber so I could ask my money back !

    reduce the power drain for appliances that are never truly turned off when they are powered down. In the typical house that's enough to light a 100-watt light bulb 24/7
    why even bother mixing up the concepts of power and energy ? Just say 'that's enough to light a 100-watt FULL STOP'

  6. they beat google mail ???? on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 5, Insightful

    gmail : 2.5 gig and rising
    yahoo : 1 gig and staying that way

    gmail : paid for by text ads which generally don't show up because I'm not in the target group.
    yahoo : paid for by pop up flashy irrelevant ads, and a SPAM trailer in the mails I send. Forget about using it for any serious mail.

    gmail : k.i.s.s. interface, allowing for rich text
    yahoo : no rich text possibilities found

    gmail : no spam
    yahoo : presents you with a botfilter with unreadable gibberish. Maybe you can't send spam, probably you receive lots

    gmail : ssl pop & smtp
    yahoo : had the features, removed them

    gmail : threads
    yahoo : no threads

    Yahoo beats google ?????

  7. Intelligent Falling on Search for Copernicus Over · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you agree with heliocentrism, you have to agree to Kepler's law, and to explain them you have to approve the THEORY of gravitation, which is bullshit. Everyone knows the one true model is Intelligent Falling.

    We're not in 1995 anymore. Everyone owns a PC. Now if you build a modern PC, you won't need the old anymore, and good luck selling the old one.

    Only in Microsoft's wettest dreams is it not allowed to reeuse a copy of windows on a newer PC.

    I could care less, but it would be hard, real hard, and you aren't making it any easier.
    Well then you DO care a little, sucker, which undermines the original expression, stating one DOES NOT care. OTOH "I could not care less" is as mathematically close to a flat care-o-meter as 0.9999999... equals one. It actually quite litterally mean lim(this point) care(x) = 0.

    Just because M$ could not buy ElectricFence doesn't mean they're not allowed to USE it. As long as they're not redistributing it it's fine.

    Heck, if they hate Free Software that much, they can buy a copy of Rational Purify.

    Even better, they can learn to free the mallocs or switch to a less leak prone language.

    So the XBox can't play HD movies ? Though luck. The economics of putting a DVD player in the original Xbox and Playstation made sense when both cost 300+ euros.

    Prices for DVD players have dropped to 40- euros. How long do before HDDDVD and Bluray drop to the "affordable by everyone" price range ? It will probably be much shorter.

    Or quite the opposite : a soldier will want to protect his own life, and it very often come down to killing innocents "because he looked at me funny" (I know I have seen Platoon too often). A soldier remotely piloting a bot, or even an independently thinking bot, may stick closer to the "killing terrists" goal.
