  1. Re:Too much thinking in hex. on Malicious Spam Jumps To 3B Messages Per Day · · Score: 1

    It looked like 38 to me

  2. Re:Done in 1984 - Flux Capacitor on Tying Knots With Light · · Score: 1

    Meh. I did this years ago - Take a fiber optic cable, tie a knot in it, shine light through one end and viola - tied knot with light. This research is clearly over-rated.

  3. Re:But how did they do it? on Pakistan YouTube Block Breaks the World · · Score: 1

    I would say you're giving them enough credit. After all, they did create the first computer virus for the PC.

  4. Re:Of course it's all about the verbs on The Evolution of Language · · Score: 1

    You're right, it's much more than just a verb. Osho explains it beautifully in this video here.

  5. Re:yeah but on The World's Most Powerful Diesel Engine · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to put one of those in my SUV. Think I could get 10 mpg? I think you mean 10 gpm (gallons per mile)

  6. Re:Skype trying to reach performance goals ? on Skype Offering SkypeOut Service for Free · · Score: 1

    On a related note, Google talk uses the same GIPS VoiceEngine.

  7. Looks like Ebay... on Japan to Discourage Sale of Old Electronics · · Score: 1

    ...is going to have a LOT more Japanese electronics on auction now.

  8. Re:yup on Opera Reaches 1 Million Downloads Thanks To Google · · Score: 1

    But when we look for the best browser, it's obviously Firefox.

  9. Re:yeah, 10 times safer... on NASA's New Shuttle · · Score: 1

    ...and eight beverage cup holders!

  10. What about Fractal Music? on An Experiment in A New Kind of Music · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of Fractal Music. Its an application of mathematics (fractals) to produce 'unique' music. So, is what Wolfram's done really unique?

  11. Re:PDF is A-OK on Microsoft to Introduce PDF competitor 'Metro' · · Score: 1

    Have you tried Acrobat Reader 7? Compared to the older versions, this one is blazingly fast. I think what they've done now is NOT load the gazillion filters and plugins (which 90% of pdf's do not use or need) everytime it starts up.

    Just wondering why it took them so long to do this...

  12. Re:I don't understand... on Open Source Social Bookmarking Service · · Score: 1

    Well...most everybody has a Yahoo! account -
    Yahoo! bookmarks

  13. Re:Dont bother on Objectively Comparing Competing Search Engines? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if you don't know what you're looking for?

    Then you could try keyword mapping

    Sometimes I have to research a new technology but don't know the what to look for. If you know what are important keywords in a particular technology, you could get better search results on Google.

    Kwbrowse can help you get the right keywords to search for.

  14. Re:ALL YOUR BASE on Professor Finds Fault with MS Grammar Checker · · Score: 1

    Well why don't you try feeding Word this:
