  1. Re:PowerPoint on Students Do Better Without Computers · · Score: 1

    actually, powerpoint is a very good tool for students to use.

  2. Re:I can play this game too.. Re:2 can play this g on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    yes, but then napster changes with the times. the 30 year old fluff that is not worth the time on their servers get tossed and then you have no music to listen to.

  3. Re:Let's do the math on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    the DRM requires that you connect your mp3 player once a month or the music does not play.

  4. Re:Try this comparison instead. on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    most people do not form emotional attachments to TV episodes, nor do they to rented movies because that movie is one in which they really did not think they needed to see in the theater.

    on the other hand, music is something people do form emotional attachments to.

    perhaps if NtG gave each user 5 free owns of music per month....

    but I think Apple will come out with that first. and for 10 bucks a month.

  5. Re:If they don't like it on China Tightens Rules For Educational BBSs · · Score: 1

    First off... the german and french editorials were asking a question... probably the title of the editorials. The next word could have been "No!"

    After that, the article mentions other article writers. Who knows the political leaning of these papers he is quoting from.

    No citation of scientific polls. Yeah that is a really good source.

    Do you believe everything you read? If so, don't read.

    really is there a difference?

    in the end, nothing gets done.

    in the US, Voters are morons and/or kool-aid drinkers and vote what they are told to vote.

    in china you just can't vote.

    it is the black hole of quantum mechanics basically.

  10. Re:How can it be Hawking radiation? on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 3, Informative

    hawking radiation is described in black hole thermodynamics. a black hole eventually will shrink and disappear due to radiation of particles from inside.

  11. and why should it not be for charge? on The Fate of The Free Newspaper · · Score: 1

    I pay for my news paper every morning. if I read more online news paper (if they were less annoying I would) I see no problem of having to pay for that content.

    certainly, I expect to pay less for the on-line version, but why should the content be free?

  12. Re:Corporate influence on RFC Deadline Looms For "Orphan Works" copy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why? if a copyright owner can not be found, a corporation can not buy the work. I see no corporate interest here.

  13. Re:booo... not user unfreindly enough!!!! on GNOME Ignoring its Own Users? · · Score: 1

    you are a complete idiot. fat32 is readable by Linux, Mac OS X, Mac Classic, Solaris, etc.

    floppy disks are formated as Fat. flash MP3 players are flash.

    Linux has had Fat read/write since back in the mid 90's.

    NTFS is the file system that has just recently gotten SOME functionality under Linux.

    if you think that the MS way of managing memory is the way all memory management works then you don't know shit.

    there is a reason that OS X is better at Multitasking than Windows and it has everything to do with the memory management schemes.

  17. Re:The question is: on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    you moron!!1 what use is free memory? it is not being used by a damned thing if it is free. OS X and all Unix based OSs focus on using as much memory as it needs to run the processes it has before swapping.

    windows on the other hand gives an app less memory than it needs and forces it to swap out more often.

    if you do not understand this level of discussion then I suggest you refrain from even trying to include yourself in it.

    you are so full of crap. 4.0 was a bloated POS. I had to admin a network of Unisys machines running 486 66 and NT 4. it was painfully slow and bloated.

    windows has not gotten much faster but that is more because of their stupid memory management and GUI composition and multitasking structure.

  22. Re:The question is: on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    umm... actually, if you read up on the core technologies, they use Units which are device independent. for core image and core video, the OS will see which is faster, the GPU or the CU and will send the Image Unit or the video Unit to the fasted hardware.

    ALSO, the Core technologies are Application level technologies. if you have a card that runs QE you will still have the UI run well because QE will not be changing, except for the addition of QE 2D which will use the GFX card for more than effects.

    no... this is the same Apple who forces journalists to divulge their sources of the trade secrets that were leaked to them.
