  1. card mini adapters..... on USB Drives — Recovery? · · Score: 1

    I have the I/O Data Mini SD USB adapter I picked up for $10 from CompUSA for my phone, and the thing is flawless every time. Also giving me the ability, as I upgrade my cards, to use the old ones as flash drives...

  2. Niagara Aerospace Museum on Rocket Men · · Score: 1

    If your anywhere in the Niagara region, definitly worth checking out one of the cradles on modern aviation and aerospace, Bell Aerospace that is. All pretty much featured at the mueseum and then some.

  3. Google buyout ?? on Discussing a Private Buyout of Microsoft · · Score: 1

  5. Living Dilbert on The Living Dilbert? · · Score: 1

    Yes....things will continue to be as bad all around as executives and managers continue to hire people dumber than they are, who won't threaten their very own jobs and positions in the workplace.

  6. Canadian DRM fight..... on Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM · · Score: 1

    Is April Wine and Triumph involved with the fight ?!?!? :-D

  7. Patent lawyers killed the Next Big Thing on No More Next Big Thing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As long as innovation is crushed at the patent level, then yes, the NBT is never going to happen.

    Things like planes, computers, cars and phones all happened because someone took something, and made it better. Now we have scum sucking lawyers fighting over simple lines of code, and even now our own DNA.

  8. The end of the $40 DVD burner at NewEgg ?!?! on Sony, NEC to Merge Optical Drive Teams · · Score: 1

  9. Re: Ford and Toyota Royalties on Toyota Prius Under Fire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    Having sold Toyota's, and having family members that sell Ford's, from what I understand, Ford couldn't make their technology work in time to make it too market, so they licensed Toyota's first gen hybrid technology (01-03 Prius), while Totota kept the 2nd gen technology for themselves (2004 models +).

    Just wanted to clarify the issue....

  10. Processing the request on Epicrealm Uses Vague Patents to sue Web Sites · · Score: 1

    And I quote:

    "releasing the Web server to process other requests, processing the request, the processing being performed by the page server concurrently with the Web server, as the Web server processes the other requests, and dynamically generating a Web page in response to the request"

  17. Ya gotta admit..... on Are Game Magazines Turning Into Men's Magazines? · · Score: 1

    Most of the morons advertising for the games can only think of stupid things like.... " hey I know, let's throw in an implied nipple... that's GOTTA sell more games !!"

    But blame the game makers and the publishers for not trying to put actual CONTENT in the games !

  18. Kinda like the Pringles can..... on Beyond Pringles: 802.11 Antenna From A Floppy Disk · · Score: 2, Funny

    That I used to make a Bong with back in High school.....back in my whacky weed days :-D

  19. And I quoute....... on More on Futuremark and nVidia · · Score: 1

    " However, recent developments in the graphics industry and game development suggest that a different approach for game performance benchmarking might be needed, where manufacturer-specific code path optimization is directly in the code source. Futuremark will consider whether this approach is needed in its future benchmarks "

    Hmmmmm.... Is it just me or did nVidia just buy this new statement from 3dMark/Mad Onion (whomever!!). It's funny how last week they're blowing the word "cheat" all over the place last week. And now this week they're using the word "optimization" AND they're talking about how moved they are that they should include nVidia specific code in future versions!!

    Oh and I bet they forgot to mention the nice little $10 million investment nVidia made to their company in show of support. That would be too convenient, now wouldn't it?!?!
