  1. Ah yes on 200gb Hack for iPod Nano · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    And we all know how long the iPod's battery will keep that hard drive spinning. Oh wait, this is an Apple product so it get's posted despite the "It's a Joke" factor.

  2. Re:VOIP is still not worth it. on Linksys Debuts Cordless Skype Handset · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dont forget adding in the cost of the computer, cost of the power running the computer, cost of the broadband. Get those numbers and then tell me what's cheaper.

    Um, no you're not getting it. EP's doesn't have *any* creative control over the content of a movie, they're the money men, they also try to make things run smooth.

    I would, I sure as hell couldn't build/design a car, much less one that'd pass the strict federal safety guidelines. If not them, then who?

  8. Re:The PHPNuke of social apps? on Marc Andreessen's Social Platform: Ning · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ning appears to be a social app framework written in PHP, hoping to do for social apps much what PHPNuke did for online magazines.

    So we can expect 3-4 really bad security vulnerabilities a month till it reaches version 700000?

    No no, you have it wrong. Gates will sit there and glare, while Balmer flies around like a insane monkey on crack.

  10. Re:Wrong moon. on Cassini Returns Photos of Hyperion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, it's the 'Right' moon, notice the link text "like nothing else in the solar system", now I'm sure the majority of people might take that to mean "Here's a picture of what other moons look like so you can see the difference", it seems you must have not made that connection.

    one or two words depending on how you look at it, but let me put it in slashdot style

  16. Re:Coral Cache link on Thirty Four PSUs Tested - Is Biggest Best? · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, none of the coral servers talk/share cache, so for each different coral server (the whole DNAME "find a local server" bit) each needs to cache a copy of the content, so the server *does* need to be still up by that point.

    I tried google, but the only thing I could find either could only power 1-2 or they want a bulk order of 500.

    IIRC in one of the Technical Manuals or a book of sorts, it uses tractor beams (or their equiv) to keep people from hitting the walls and using some serious cpu power and force fields in able to refract the light to make people/objects appear the correct distances/sizes/etc.

    your 'simple math' is incorrect and relies on false assumptions. Anyways this 'add-on' is supposed to increase efficiency and use less gas, so again your math is flawed since it's based on driving w/o this device implemented.
