  1. Choice is good, so more choices is gooer on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    Assuming that choice really is good, shouldn't we put 26 caps lock keys on our keyboard so that we can have choice about which individual letter get shifted?

  2. Re:"It's the Network" on Why the Google Android Phone Isn't Taking Off · · Score: 1

    I would have preferred to stay with T-Mobile when I bought my iPhone. Yes, their network is not quite as ubiquitous as AT&T's but I had much better experience with TMO. If you want GSM in the US, those are your only choices. But even the iPhone isn't worth full retail if you don't get the carrier subsidy.

  3. Re:Not so great on HP Seals the Deal, Buys EDS For $14B · · Score: 1

    Eh? EDS went public after the GM spinoff. GM couldn't have sold EDS to HP even if wanted to. Stay tuned and we'll let you know how the transition goes.

  4. Re:i think its clear on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    I can just imagine God pulling over a violator and writing a ticket for exceeding c.

  5. Re:features missing on K-1000 on Best 35mm SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 1

    2) No depth of field (a.k.a. depth of focus) preview.

    Any K-mount lens includes a built-in poor-man's depth of field preview feature: just release the bayonet lock and rotate the lens barrel about 15 degrees -- not so far that the lense falls off the mount, but enough for the diaphragm lever to disengage causing the iris to close to its current setting.

    Is this not /.? Where's the hacker ethic?

  6. Careful what you wish for... on New Microsoft Mouse Scrolls Both Ways · · Score: 1

    How long before I get a trackball embedded in my mouse?
    ... you might get it

  7. All recordings are approximations... on Unintended Aural Consequences of MP3 Compression · · Score: 1

    But now we know... What you don't hear *can* hurt you!
    Follow the links. Google the unfamiliar buzz words. This is some kind of entertainment.

  8. ! XOR on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    You don't need to choose, do both.

    Being young, you haven't figured out who you're going to be yet. Trust me on this.

    You may not always want to be a Systems Administrator. A college degree will make career changes much easier - and you *will* change careers.

    College is more like summer camp for professional life than it is a tech school for geeks. Plus there's the whole social side of college life that you won't want to miss.
