    FP?

  2. Re:itunes/ipod on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 1

    What a moron. Unusable? Millions of people, myself included, would strongly disagree with you. The device doesn't prevent you from copying mp3s, or any file for that matter. only itunes does it. You can copy any file you like from the OS. I think the poster should have his IQ checked. I'd be very surprised if his was over 30.
    Mine's 143 btw

    I'm glad I got to it before it got /.ed

  6. Attn: Mr. Heisenberg on The Home Parallel Universe Test · · Score: 1

    I thought that this kind of thing was just an example of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. You more you know about the photon's speed and position the less likely it is to act in a predictable manner direction-wise.

  7. Where is Daneel on I, Robot Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Daneel the only true humaniform robot of his kind in the books? And didn't he look exactly like his creator? In the movie he seems to look like every other robot. If there is a Daneel character at all.

  8. Holland Michigan screwed it all up on Municipal Networks as Alternative to Commercial Broadband? · · Score: 1

    I can remember voting for Holland Michigan to install a state of the art fiber optic ring around the city and it was supposed to be this great thing. Well, it's about 3 or 4 years later and you still can't get any kind of cable modem or digital cable in the city limits. Unfortunately I live in the city limits. So the city has a MONOPOLY on the digital access. Except DSL which sucks in it's own way. I have DSL anyway. I think there are businesses on the system but no public access. I believe that it was my/our tax dollars that created the system but I have no way to use it. Holland BLOWS! At the end of last year I believe that the city and ATT Broadband had finally come to an agreement about sharing the lines but the ATT tech I talked to said it would be at least 18 months before we would see anything.

  9. I have a disk with it! on CD-Eating Fungus Among Us · · Score: 1

    I have a CD that I bought in about 1989 by Big Audio Dynamite. It has had this condition for at least the last seven years. I had always thought that it was a bacteria that had infected the disk during manufacture.

  10. Re:who woulda thunk it on OSX/Win2K Deathmatch · · Score: 1

    I would guess from your glib remark that you are not a representive of microsoft. And when I write representive I mean it in the political sense of the word. I know I'm getting off-topic here, but it seems to me that any one of the people I've seen on TV or read about from MS could easily run for any public office. They've taken to heart the basic premise that all politicians know. Repeat something often enough, and people will eventually believe it. I couldn't help but notice the similarities between Gore or Bush and Gates or Balmer whenever they spoke last year.

  11. who woulda thunk it on OSX/Win2K Deathmatch · · Score: 3

    I was very suprised at the results of the 'death match.' Well, not suprised at the result so much as who came up with the results. As an avid (read 'rabid') mac fan, I can only hope that articles like this one can demonstrate once and for all to people that Apple no longer produces the 'etch-a sketch' computer they once did. If I hear one more microsoft representitve say the word innovation one more time I'm going to hurl. The only company out there actually innovating these days is Apple.

  12. Start contstruction now on Panel Recommends Mars Samples Be Quarantined · · Score: 1

    I heard the same NPR segment. They stated that the first missions to bring back samples probably won't be going until 2013 or so. That may seem like a long time, but to do the job correctly, they suggested that the planning and construction of these facilities begin as soon as possible.

    I wouldn't worry too much about thier heads being filled with religious crap. I live a couple of blocks from campus and If the May Day celebration this past weekend was any indication, I don't think much religious crap is getting through. "Computers are useless.
