  1. Re:actually.... on All The World Over, Your Stolen I.D. · · Score: 2

    I would think 1 in 5 is a bit low, actually, especially with the corporate stewardship of my identifying data.

  2. Re:IBM: Solving the wrong problems on IBM Research Enables Flat-Panel CRTs · · Score: 1

    If your LCD doesn't emit radiation, then you can't see it. That's what light is.

  3. Re:That's not what I want on IBM Research Enables Flat-Panel CRTs · · Score: 1

    What the hell are 48 bit monitors? all the displays i've seen are analog only.

  4. Re:try breaking a monitor on IBM Research Enables Flat-Panel CRTs · · Score: 1

    When a big tv goes, there isn't much else to do with it. Afterwards, the chemical salvage guys will probably still take it.

  5. Re:Harmful radiations ? on IBM Research Enables Flat-Panel CRTs · · Score: 1

    No reason but hysteria. When people found out that CRTs emit radiation, they freaked and demanded safer displays. Since CRTs are already safe (all that leaded glass blocks the electrons and whatnot rather well), they just got lower emissions.

  6. Re:As Cartman would say.... on High Tech in Africa: Geeks Needed · · Score: 2

    And you're sending GEEKS?! Most geeks i know subsist on vending machines and chinese food; what do they know of nutrition?

  7. Re:The ultimate gesture of protest on Dmitry Protests Running · · Score: 1

    What law? Dmitry cracked Adobe's shite while in Russia. It's not illegal there.

  8. Re:not so different.. on Chinese Government Further Restricts Internet Cafes · · Score: 1

    Note that, in China, crime statistics not explicitly released by the Chinese Gov't are state secrets, and compiling your own can get you in deep shit.

  9. Re:In related news... on Chinese Government Further Restricts Internet Cafes · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Who would make you Nikes and Gap clothes?

  10. Re:Unnecessary on Smart Car, Or Dumb Idea? · · Score: 1

    And when Anthrax puts you to sleep, just pull over

  11. Re:Could be a distraction on Smart Car, Or Dumb Idea? · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, it could come in handy while driving through the hundred mile stretches of farms and booring plains (wyoming comes to mind - no trees anywhere, just scrub).

  12. It's not science finction on Cowboy Bebop on TV This Fall · · Score: 1

    It's more of a western/detective thing. The only thing science fiction about it is the scenery.

  13. Re:What's up with Joker.com? on VeriSign Accuses Competitors Of 'Slamming' · · Score: 1

    the root server is 500 meters from my place

    That's walking distance. Who wants to bet that the actual network distance is 200 miles?

  14. Re:Mods & crack on Separate Code Files And Commingling? · · Score: 1

    It must be a requirement for moderators to smoke crack before moderating

    Then why haven't i been getting any mod points?

  15. Re:Bad, Good and great software on Good Software Takes 10 Years? · · Score: 1

    New companies are certainly possible; they just can't rely on the software for profit during the formative years. For instance, a consultancy could fund a word processor or email client with its regular work (process engineering) until such time as it becomes profitable.

  16. Re:Market Forces on Restricted CDs Quietly Distributed · · Score: 1

    After the third time, I'll return the CD and demand cash back. When they refuse, I'll call my credit company and dispute the charges (defective merchandise)

  17. Re:Not really suited for action games on Touchscreen Game Controller? · · Score: 1

    I always thought the computer did all the actual fighting - ever notice how shafted they get if the computer goes down?

  18. Re:without bail? on Sklyarov Arrest Follow-up · · Score: 1

    Given the choice between starting tomorrow against a prosecutor who's been preparing for a year and sitting down with the room full of evidence and actually reviewing it, which would you do?

  19. Re:I'm not worried yet on Digital TV Restrictions Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Fat chance of that.

  20. Re:Doesn't seem like the screen should be the 'foc on Sandia's 20-Million-Pixel, 130-Square-Foot Screen · · Score: 1

    Not too many video cards that I know of that can go up to 5120 x 4096.

    You don't have to. you just need 2-4 quadhead cards (already available)

  21. Re:...let me guess at the comments. on Sandia's 20-Million-Pixel, 130-Square-Foot Screen · · Score: 1

    - Imagine a beowolf cluster of these

    First video wall!

  22. Re:the crucial difference wrt google on Search Engine Payola · · Score: 1

    I get warm fuzzies from the idea that Google has a sustainable business model.

  23. Re:anti-constituitional ? on UK Schools to Indoctrinate Respect for IP Laws? · · Score: 1

    actually, the british do have a constitution. More info on the Magna Carta and the English bill of rights is available at http://freespace.virgin.net/old.whig/docs.htm

  24. Re:Our story for today... on UK Schools to Indoctrinate Respect for IP Laws? · · Score: 1

    ...except that what actually happened was that, when faced with open defiance from the afflicted companies, a lot of the drug companies that manufactured AIDS treatments discounted their stuff fairly deeply.

  25. Re:dmca on Congressional Hearings on WHOIS · · Score: 2

    Well, if they don't accept the license (usage for resolution of technical problems and domain registration issues (latter reserved to your domain registration authority)), then wouldn't it revert to copyright?
