  1. How about this? on Games Controlled By An Exercise Bike · · Score: 1

    The TV Pedaler is a product that you can hook up to your TV or PC and then you have to pedal to watch it, or the signal goes out.

    This company has also developed the "Interactive Computer Exerciser," in which you hook up your existing stationary bike to your PC using a censor. Check it out here.

  2. Re:After The Nobel Prize ? on 2003 Japan Prize Winners Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could you please explain how winning an award makes you a loser? What was the logic behind your statement? Your analogy is irrevelent. These people won awards. They weren't denied awards, and they didn't get "honorable mentions" or anything like that for these awards.

    A better analogy would be comparing the Academy Awards to the Golden Globes. Sure, getting a Golden Globe is great, but I'm sure most people would agree that an Academy Award is more prestigous. Of course, this depends on who you talk to, and what their priorities are.

  3. Re:1.7 % Market Share on Review of Mozilla's 2002 · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm going to have to disagree with you totally on this. First of all, take a site that relies on internet sales. Amazon.com. Do you honestly think that the sales they've made through Mozilla browsers (the 1.7% you talked about) is more money than the other 98.3%?! I mean, come on, you have to take a little logic into your equation.

    There are still many people who use IE and are web savvy. I consider myself to be so, I don't use Mozilla because I like the way it renders the pages that I go to better. I'm sure there are some people who would agree with me.

    And as for your last sentence, don't be ridiculous. If you are talking about your pride as a Mozilla user vs. making more money, then you're insane. Sure, you could say "Well, I'm proud to be a Mozilla user, and even if I'm in the minority, I'm COOL!" But Microsoft doesn't care! They HAVE the majority, and they're making money off of it! Those old grandmas that you speak of are helping Microsoft, because according to you, they don't know a thing about what they're doing.

  7. Selling out? on AMD Announces A Shift In Focus From PC Processors · · Score: 1

    Think about this for a minute... if AMD reached number 1, don't you think they'd sell out just like Intel? Spend all their money on ads, screw around and make crappy decisions? This is not uncommon to all different things, like music bands. Once they got popular, they forget their original fans and do all that promotion shit.

    Would AMD do that?

  8. Re:Transmeta on AMD Announces A Shift In Focus From PC Processors · · Score: 1
    This will let the Transmeta name have a chance at becoming known outside the geek society.
    I don't think many people outside the geek world even know what AMD is! Even if they buy a computer with an AMD processor from HP or whatever, they still probably are looking at the GHz, not the manufacturer of the chip. This will probably confuse people even more!

    And also, why the hell are they doing this? I love AMD!

    Personally I think that meant the overload in the server or the inability to post or something. However, I could be wrong, and if I am, that was an extremely insensitve comment and people like that should be severely beaten.

    Are you kidding me? Microsoft would NEVER, EVER make a LINUX distro! Linux is their supreme enemy! It's free! And even if you had to pay for Microsoft's, it's still encouraging people to do Linux. I could maybe see them releasing Visual Basic or something for the Xbox, but Linux? No way.

  16. Re:INCREDIBLY SECURE on Mouse Scans Palms to Verify ID · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that since the mouse will have to scan your hand, there will be software on the computer involved. And because of that, don't you think the computer will not let any other mice work w/the computer? It will probably send a code to the computer.

    It believe it said that it was equal to 5 Pentium processesors, not a Pentium 5. And I'm not sure how good five Pentiums are together, but I'm willing to bet a Pentium 4 is better.

  19. Re:wireless sux on The Coming Time for 802.11a? · · Score: 1

    It's funny how you say that 802.11b, when it is one of the hottest products on the market. I myself have a USB Linksys receiver and a SMC router and it works fabulously. Mind you, these are on different floors of my house and they are at least 60-70 feet away. I always get a full signal. We also plugged it into a laptop and I was able to walk out 10-20 feet in front of my house. You might be using old hardware or have a lot of interference in your house.

    In other words, it's not the technology that's bad.

  20. Re:MP3 audiobooks? on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're desperate, I've found that you can get some audiobooks on file sharing programs, more specifically Kazaa. Also, some of the Rio MP3 players can play audiobooks from Audible.com, and so can the iPod with the newest firmware.

    You make a valid point. But I assume by the time this technology becomes public, there will already be large, multi-gigabyte solid state forms of memory, that people can use as hard drives and such. We'll have to see.

  24. Re:You'd be better off getting a iPaq with 5GB PCM on XPlay: iPod with Windows · · Score: 1

    The iPaq battery definitely does not last as long as the one the iPod has, considering the iPod was made specifically for music. Also, the iPod's interface is probably 10x better then any MP3 player out for the iPaq. If someone is looking to just carry music around with them, then I would suggest the iPod over the iPaq. And also, the iPaq (last time I checked) connected to the PC using USB! (1.1, no less), so you're downloading the files to the iPaq 30 times slower than you would with the iPod.

    In other words, you're wrong.
