  1. Re:About time on New Thinkpad To Combine Pen/Paper · · Score: 1
    I mean that this new Thinkpad will be much more useful than my Jornada. Although, I'm stuck with the Jornada for a few years.

  2. About time on New Thinkpad To Combine Pen/Paper · · Score: 1
    Man and I just bought a Jornada. This is imo the most useful type of PDA machine. Notetaking is something for which I am sick of using yellow legal pads -- I need something that combines portability and a legal pad. Rejoice for me!

  3. I think it should be email on E-Mail Clients That Support X.509 Digital IDs? · · Score: 1
    Punctuation is your friend embrace it.

  4. Deep Sea Vessels on Sea Floor - Surface - Satellite - Shore · · Score: 1
    My professor freshman year was one of the who dove for the Monitor. The entire set of underwater exploration tools are incredibly fascinating. All sorts of stuff messed with their attempts to dive -- like the wind would affect the waves and the current and would push them off course yadda yadda. I still want to be a pirate.

  5. Re:I have starbands service on Two-Way Satellite Internet For Linux/Mac/BSD/etc. · · Score: 1
    I dont think ppl were saying it sucked just that it was flawed.

  6. Re:This crap on Censorware to be Mandatory in Schools, Libraries · · Score: 1
    I think that this shows that even posts with a 5 score can result in a lack of reading comprehension. My utter crap comment was about censorship software and how badly it sucks, and how inhibiting it can be to legitimate research/surfing.

  7. Re:This crap on Censorware to be Mandatory in Schools, Libraries · · Score: 1
    its not a new technology -- they are using products on the market. and yes, the censorship products on the market ARE crap.

  8. Re:I don't know why this suprises people. on Censorware to be Mandatory in Schools, Libraries · · Score: 2
    Yeah but sometimes thought needs to extend oustide the bounnds of what is taught and what is controlled.

  9. This crap on Censorware to be Mandatory in Schools, Libraries · · Score: 1
    The software sucks too. It blocks out sites that shouldnt be censored and that students SHOULD see. This is utter crap.

  10. Only one game matters on Holiday Games For Linux · · Score: 1

    StarCraft -- best game ever. Everything else is moot.

  11. I think ppl will stop going to sites that use this on Non-banner Ads Coming to the Web · · Score: 2
    If it displeases the reader, and annoys them, they are less liely to use that site. Users like be more likely to stay at a site and come back to a site if it gives them a good experience. So I have a feeling that the first sites that do this will lose a lot of traffic to their competitors who dont do this and who have less intrusive adverts.

  12. WOOHOO on Standard For MP3 CD Players Planned For March · · Score: 1
    I am excited. It's about time. I don't even bother with normal cd's anymore and I bought of those cheap $100 mp3 cd players for computergeeks. Its excellent.

  13. Satire? How will it survive? on Guinness Beer Really Sucks · · Score: 1
    Trademarks and their vailidity should not be directly related to the size of one's coffers. That's just ass. Isn't there such a thing as "Fair use." How will satire survive?

  14. You can't avoid politics on Should You Care About Politics? · · Score: 1
    More importantly you shouldn't. (ok yes if you moved outside this country or pulled an Andrew Carneggie and tried to buy the Phillipines, yeah you could avoid politics, but not as long as you are within this service's borders. Yes the Government is basically a service, and a service that allows you to make however much money you make because it's a particularily good service, and this tangent has become unwieldly).

  15. Oppurtunists are not Idealists. on Napster Cuts Deal With BMG · · Score: 1
    Did anyone belief that Napster wasn't going to cave in? I mean come on, all they really are is a smaller greedy company. All the executivs that surrounded the kid from NorthEastern are not idealists - they are oppurtunists.

  16. Nintendo clearky would not be interested on Sega & Nintendo Partnership Just Hype · · Score: 1
    Sega is in debt all over for things that Nintendo ahs tried to avoid like Arcades. Plus their demographic push is in opposition. It was a baloney story from the start.

  17. Another Small Victory on Tripwire Goes Open Source · · Score: 1
    In the name of opening it all up....

  18. Hmmm this sounds exciting on MYSQL & Row Level Locking · · Score: 1
    Allthouh I am doubting they will release on time. How would other people rank the its competition? Where does MySQL fit in. I just want other people's opinions -- I have my own. =)

  19. 27K isnt that much at all...puhlease on Damian Conway Sponsored · · Score: 2
    With millions being thrown around to idiot start-ups with no proven viabable business plan, no proven value added to society, and you guys get all hot bothered when a large company throws half of what they pay a secretary at someone who is talented and deserves more, and you guys get excited?

  20. Evolutionary Step? on AMD's DDR-Capable 760 Chipset Reviewed X3 · · Score: 1
    This is the step that sets the stage for the battle for the next memory standard showdown: DDRAM vs RDRAM. Let the showdown commence, all the the future winner is pretty obvious.

  21. Delicious but I still don't trust them... on Carnivore In Living Color · · Score: 1
    ...and never will. Just too sketchy, too much power.

  22. How can Russia donate money to keep up the Mir? on Mir Lives · · Score: 2
    Dont they RUN the Mir? Isn't that a little like me donating myself money so I can eat lunch?

  23. In what way does it have personality? on Linux Graphics Programming with SVGAlib · · Score: 1
    Is it entertaining? Aggresive? Any specifics?

  24. Re:Guilty fellings on Death of the P2P net Predicted! Film at 11! · · Score: 1
    This is a good point -- but it just further shows the attitudes and mores that make Gnutella much much less than it could be. If everyone shared, the guilt would be similarily small per a person, as it would be spread out over so many. I dont think I explained that well. Oh well back to work.

  25. Lego's and Neuticles on Broke into the old Quickies · · Score: 1
    Does it get any better for overall amusement?
