  1. Shouldn't slashdot be patenting this, or atleast.. on Flickr Patenting "Interestingness" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or at least mod points?

  2. Re:They want to be apple on MSN Music Purchases Not Compatible with Zune · · Score: 1

    Having to trick the device and not being allowed to run it on more than 2 computers sharing files only possible on those computers...BAH, Id never get an Ipod.

  3. SUPER GREG on Mahir To Borat, I Sue You! · · Score: 1

    I noticed the resemblance to Mahir also...but let's not forget Ali-G and his resemblance to Super Greg: http://www.geocities.com/goodgawd2001/

  4. random mutation or lingering trait on The Dolphin With Leftover Legs · · Score: 1

    I guess this could be similar to the little boys from cuba who were born with hair all over their bodies. Randomly born with a freak trait of our ancient neanderthal ancestors.

  5. QUICK, start programing another Youtube and keep i on YouTube Removes Comedy Central Clips Due to DMCA · · Score: 1

    then sell it to some other schmuck...

    its like selling a bridge.

  6. yeah on Politicians Have Poor Grasp of Technology? · · Score: 1

    And they are the ones writing the laws that control it. They need EDUCATED, IMPARTIAL advisers, possibly even who have been elected.

  7. The Browser Wars on IE Sends Cake to Firefox 2 Team · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...just got a whole lot friendlier

  8. Re:What's so bad about that quote? on Finger Pointing Over iPod Windows Virus · · Score: 1

    wakeup.. they are blaming an operating system for a virus on THEIR hardware.

    it's just lame.

  9. Third party software for laptops...music booths... on A Hands-On Zune Review · · Score: 1

    possible implimentations..

    I'd like to see Microsoft create hotpots in selected areas of major cities that constantly send out certain tunes to promote the bands. They could put the broadcasting box on major streetcorners for people to download while at a red light (20 seconds to send a song is great!) or in starbucks, in major subway stations, etc...Or instead of Microsoft maybe even a third party company broadcasting volunteering bands' songs for them on the Zune frequency.

    How 'bout third party software for your laptop computer to send and recieve songs as well? Or Microsoft implementing the feature into Windows Media Player?

  10. __bottom line_ on Pros and Cons of Switching From Windows To Mac · · Score: 1

    PRO- you wont have any virus'
    CON- you wont have access to a very high percentage of software

  11. Re:Girls Girls Girls, not on Zune. on A Hands-On Zune Review · · Score: 1

    uhh even if you ask somebody they dont want you sticking your shit in their ears. Good friend? Maybe. Someone you just met? Doubtful.

    Its like asking a stranger if they want a sip of your pop.

  12. Re:Girls Girls Girls, not on Zune. on A Hands-On Zune Review · · Score: 1

    "Right on, but it's worse than that. If you do ever meet some kind of rare recorded music groupie, is there any chance in hell they would be impressed by "sharing" a song three times? Like Jobs said, it's much more fun to stick your headphone in her ear."

    Uhhh stick your headphones in some chicks ear and she'll probably slap you. Who wants someones elses freshly waxed earbuds in their ear? The sharing thing is just cool if you have a friend or two who also has a zune. Three days and three listens is enough times to decide whether you like it or not and then come homw and download it for yourself.

  13. Makes no sense to blame MS on iPods Come Complete With Windows Virus · · Score: 0, Troll

    for APPLE's mistake. When hardware contains a virus thats the fault of the HARDWARE distributing it. Dont try and pass blame on the OS. Very bad form. Wow it appears Apple are as ignorant as their userbase.

  14. The only people who have problems with licenses... on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    are IPOD users.

    Everyone else seems fine and dandy. The only people who ever complain about getting music from one place to another: IPOD users. Ive owned MP3 players for years and have NEVER had a problem. Then again I stay MILES away from ITUNES and IPODs.

    My MP3 player right now is my cel phone two things that belong in your ears. Phone cameras are pointless phone MP3 players..n.ow this is the future.

  15. I remember Friendster's flaw on Friendster's Rise and Fall · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I had lots of friends on Friendster in '03 Friendster was a beter looking site and the domain name was much catchier I had a few friends on Myspace but Myspace was about 5 times faster. SPEED is such a vital element to the success of any website. Look at Google. Google prided itself on being a search engine with the slimmest, cleanest code. Why did you choose google over any other site?

  16. Busting Cheaters on Cheating Via the Internet at College · · Score: 1

    If students were to hand in assignments digitally. The professor, or an assigned member of faculty could cross reference and search for strings of text within assignments across a list of known cheat websites. I'm sure they could get a programmer to write something up for them.

  17. Re:What's the appeal of Transformers? on Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again) · · Score: 1

    Great post...transformers being able to change in size definitely added to their technological advancement level. Yeah, it was a gimmick put into the series/movie simply to squeeze in a strange toy design but if a child can find a way to explain how and why it works, if a child can find a way to explain how it realistically possible. I'm sure Hollywood can find a way to put it on screen so that an adult can see it as technological magic.

    Soundwave should definitely be able to change size!

  18. AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT! on Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again) · · Score: 1

    finally some good news for this movie.

  19. msn and extensions...stumbleupon! on Opera Seeks Developer Input For Opera 10 · · Score: 1

    How bout making it possible to open email with MSN, also compatability with firefox extensions.... i'm using StumbleUpon now and I couldn't go to a browser without it now. Even if the new IE blows Firefox out of the water.

  20. Re:More space missions on Shuttle Launch Success · · Score: 1
  21. More space missions on Shuttle Launch Success · · Score: 1

    I think it's time to realize that the human race is in the middle of a race right now. A race between our technology rescuing us from ourselves and our technology dooming us.

    The only way we can win is to attempt to save ourselves. Begin settling elsewhere on the moon, on mars in space stations. We should be thinking for the HERD right now. We have a natural responsibility to defend ourselves, our familes, our herd, our species and something else. LIFE IN GENERAL. If we destroy our Earth the brand of life we know to be inhabitting it will be gone forever.

    I say it's about time we consider the consequences to our technology and prepare for what may lie ahead.

  22. Re:Very bad idea on Microsoft/Yahoo! Merger a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    All MS has to do is release the new IE, make sure it's better than firefox/opera and then have the search bar at the top direct to a microsoft search engine that is comparable to Google. Do not allow it to go to google. Make the searchbar at the top of IE also easily switchable to what you are searching for, images, files, videos, etc..

    Because when I get Vista, if IE7 is better than firefox and has the functionality of the important extensions. Then I will use a new search engine. Then and only then.

    Make IE VERY good

  23. interesting to see noted her but not surprising... on The Power of Accidental Discoveries · · Score: 1

    Life itself would appear to be accidental. The evolution of man was also a mainly built on random mutations, read: accidental. Technology is a cog in our evolution so it would only make sense that it worked the same way. Many of the technologies that comprise a space shuttle also were made up of accidental technologies. Its why in life I myself try and do things differently, no accidental life changing epiphanies yet but its worth it to try!

  24. its meant to be on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    because it is possible.

    people think our space shuttles are synthetic creations and therefore unnatural but I think the act of humans flying into outerspace is perfectly natural. and infact inevitable. if you look at the earth from a distance. ships continually try to make it out of orbit some succeed and some fail. but one will make it all the way in this way the act is quite similar to the insemenation of a human child. However once the one makes it through many more will follow. The only way to do this is to MAKE It happen, plan on it happening, continuiing missions and creating settlements in places out in space where we are not dependant on Earth. I agree with Hawking 100%.

    We need to do this for our species. We need to think of the herd. The fact is that we aren't simply looking out for HUMAN life, but EARTH life and LIFE in general considering we have found no evidence of life elsewhere.

    Support space travel and space colonies.
