  1. Re:Whats with the video on Disney Research Can Turn Nearly Any Surface Into a Touch Screen · · Score: 2

    Yeah, finally sensory feedback from a computer during sex with my wife to let me know if I'm doing it right or not.

    "A little lower, honey."
    "No, honey. I should be 2.6mm to the left."

  2. Re:Apple needs to stand on it's own feet on Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate · · Score: 2

    Yeah, the fact that investors are worried about one man's health instead of the actual product should tell you something.

  3. Re:There they go again... on The French Government Can Now Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    They just wanted an excuse to search for porn.

  4. Obama? on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1

    The example given is a question about Obama? So you asked a bunch of right-wing conservatives about a democratic leader they have no intention of getting to know?

  5. Filtering on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can't they develop cockpit glass that will filter out that particular wavelength?

  6. Brand New Technology on Supernova Detonates In Empty Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was really a chain-reaction of a distant planet using new small portable reactors to power local neighborhoods.

  7. Re:Some information... on Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott Gets Axed · · Score: 1

    He couldn't afford to buy 7 copies of Vista for his kids' computers.

  8. Re:Who cares? on Some Truth to Wii as GameCube 1.5? · · Score: 1

    Right on target. Microsoft & Sony are pushing tools. Nintendo is pushing concept. In the end, that has more horsepower.

  9. XTENDA on Multiple Desktop Users on a Single Machine? · · Score: 1

    We are looking into the XTENDA X300 solution. It is a card that uses CAT5 to connect to three remote XTENDA boxes that have monitor/keyboard/mouse/sound connections. You can install 2 cards per computer to have up to 7 PC's with one physical box. We like this for the following reasons:

    1. Eliminate need for small switches in the classrooms.
    2. Only maintain one computer.
    3. Upgrades will be easier.

    We still have some testing to do, but the preliminary stuff is very promising.

  10. That's a bright one... on First Lawsuits Filed under Missouri's No-Spam Law · · Score: 1

    "..One of the lawsuit recipients even managed to spam an address maintained by the attorney general's office."

    Nothing like telling the farmer you are gonna sleep with his daughter.

  11. Re:no OS / Linux Laptop on Comparative Laptop Reviews? · · Score: 1

    Actually, last summer we purchased 4 new DELL Inspiron 8000's with RedHat. It was actually cheaper to get them here that way.

  12. Processor Speed? on New Clie Handhelds from Sony · · Score: 1

    I find it interesting that Sony doesn't list the processor in the new CLIE lineup. Especially these days when speed sells (from a marketing point of view). Is it a secret, or are they still using the 33MHz? Because if it was faster, you'd think they would promote that.

  13. Little Rock needs an enima. on Are Computer Graphics A Fine Art? · · Score: 1

    I worked for an advertising agency in Little Rock until recently, and although I didn't see your show, I wish I had. I have to agree with you. Fine Art pretty much defines itself. Computers are to a printer what brushes are to a canvas -- a medium/tool. I think the issue lies in the fact that everyone and their mom owns a computer and MS paint. But also, you are trying to create in a medium that is associated with throw-away commercial art. Another thing is that there are so many WYSIWYG programs out there that do a lot of stuff for you. Photoshop has become a verb. My advice to you is to keep pushing the envelope with your art, and don't give up on this medium. Let me know when you show in Little Rock again. I'd like to see the show.
