  1. Re:Nothing makes prices skyrocket like panic buyin on RAM Prices Expected To Skyrocket This Week · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this story sound something like the OPEC problem?

  2. Re:I have to agree... on Totally 31337 Quickies · · Score: 1

    What they all look like that? I'm moving out there man.. I never saw her before.. but she's damn fine..

  3. Spell it out for me on Apple's Darwin Runs XFree4 · · Score: 1

    So does this mean that we could run OS X on an x86 machine?

  4. how smart is line of sight communication? on AirFiber Laser Networks: 622mbps · · Score: 1

    I know that the subject of fog, snow, rain, hail has already been addressed. But what about the birds, or falling corporate employees jumping to their demise. But wouldn't blunt objects that get in the way of the "laser" halt all communication?

  5. How can I take care of SPAMERS? on On DDoS, SPAM, Telemarketing And Harrasment? · · Score: 1

    "This newsletter is an opt in adult newsletter that has been sent to this email address as requested , if you have this in error then please remove yourself from the list immediately.The links contained in this email link to a hardcore adult website , if you are offended by this material please delete this email after you have removed yourself from the email list from the last link on the page." I get these at least 3 times a day. I always click on the link to REMOVE myself (often it doesn't exist) and they keep on sending, I'd just block the sender but the entire email address changes on a daily basis. Please don't sign me up for any more porn u trolls!

  6. Re:support your local mom&pop shop on How Socially Responsible Are Computer Companies? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately I have to disagree with you on this. A mom and pop comp store can't compete with the quality service and support a company like IBM, DELL, or GATEWAY can provide me. And unlike the mom and pop stores there companies actually have R&D labs that they use to inovate their products and create the machines of tomorrow. The mom and pop comp store is just looking for the short term buck.

  7. Re:Change your business model. Now. on Meeting With Netpliance · · Score: 1

    They stand to make a lot of money from their current model. Everyone knows of the "pay 21.95 a month for the next 3 years, get $400 off the cost of anything at BestBuy/CompUSA" They are selling a $200 dollar machine (maybe $600 to actually make) not to profit from the machine directly but rather to profit from service bought on a month to month basis.

  8. Re:$lashdot censor.... on DoJ Rejects Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    VA to Andover: Know your role, shut your mouth. Andover: would you like your salad tossed now?

    wow, i'll remember this the next time i want to show someone that their SSL server isn't enough.

  10. Direct Distribution to the Listeners on The Dark Side Of Napster · · Score: 1

    One quick comment before I rant and rave. Why is Aimee Mann complaining, sure she's one of the greatest female singers alive today, but if I had to pay for it i'd just shell out 15-20 bucks on the Magnolia DVD instead of the 9-12 dollars just for the CD. how much on average do arists get per CD? (excluding ani defranco or whatever her name is) I'm sure some people wouldn't mind shelling out 3 dollars for an entire album if it ment that you could download it from a secure fast site. So why not try to market directly to the consumer? I know if aimeemann.com had an option like that i'd definatly opt for it (and of course available .iso's for me to buy) by pass the major record labels and all ya! down with the RIAA and MPAA

  11. Re:Right... on Can Indrema Beat Microsoft To the Punch? · · Score: 1

    i know i will.

  12. flash the rom on Can Indrema Beat Microsoft To the Punch? · · Score: 1

    once again flash the ROM i do it all the time on my palm

  13. We need these in the US on Date Pagers · · Score: 1

    I wish every single person were equiped with one of these, then it'd make my Friday/Saturday nights a lot easier. I mean think about it, everyone always wants to meet someone who shares the same interests, and everyone is too scared to talk to find out who has the same interests, now we have a machine that says "hey this person has the same interests as me, and you know what? they're cute." so lets get the nerds swinging.

  14. It's all about the future &a 10-1guy to girl ratio on The Great Firewall Of China · · Score: 1

    Imagine a country where the ratio is 10 guys (or more) to every girl (of child bearing age). That country is China in the year 2015 (somewhere around there, a rough estimate). We're looking at either a country where 80% (or more) will conform to homosexuality or beastiality (i'm not saying that these are bad choices). But if you introduce to the popular government run media a socialy excepted sexual relief medium (where 80% no longer have to poke eachother for jolies) they can just sit infront of their computer and enjoy and live their fantisies rather than tring a 10 guy in one girl gang bang (that poor little asian girl).

  15. Maybe they are owned by the share holders on R.I.P. Iridium · · Score: 1

    Dear or dear they should auction them off on ebay, i'm sure the russians could scrounge up some US Foriegn aid money to pay for them. And then disperse the money to the poor share holders of this doomed company

  16. Fixing the problem(s) on PSX2 Memory Card Recall Ordered · · Score: 1

    Well at least Sony will have all those bugs worked out by the time it is open to the US market. You can think of Japan as beta testing ground for the rest of the world, Pokemon (a success), and the PSX2 (still working the bugs out). Gotta love those japanise.

  17. Donate all the stuff to Echelon on Government Ponders Future Of Y2K Command Bunker · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Give Echelon all the cool toys so they can monitor out phone calls and track our neighbors better! Either that or auction all the stuff on eBay and give the tax payers a refund.

  18. Internet Taxes;Tarrifs between state2state trade? on New Federal Government Stance on Internet Taxes · · Score: 1

    Lets see a person in State A buys something from state B via a catolouge ==> no sales tax. The same person in State A buys something from state B via the internet ==> sales tax. This doesn't make sence.

  19. Organic Displays on TI CEO Says PC Era is Ending · · Score: 1

    We won't be paying anything much for these things. I can't remember where i saw it, but they exist, they consume alot less energy than lcds and they're also just as bright as active matrix.

  22. Open Source Patent Registering Non Profit Org on Open Defensive Patents? · · Score: 1

    We should create a group that would register patents usefull and non, and keep everything open to everyone.. but have a kind of GNU Licensing Agreement attached to it.
