  1. quick review on Money in the Music Business · · Score: 0, Insightful

    this article basically restates everything that is known about how artists are ripped off, except in a lighter note, to make it seem an un-evil act. they neglect the artist's expences, be they legitimate or not. also, the writer is a lawyer, not an economist, so some of the points might be subjective to those cryptic legal interpretations. overall, nothing new, more of the same.

  2. only took 500 years, eh? on Da Vinci Bridge Built · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    after this long, i'm assuming that DaVinci's patent on his bridge has expired. maybe it would be a boost for the tech industry if they all baked bread, waiting for patents to expire before they make the real dough.

  3. Re:Side note on fans: Dragon Orb on Shhh! Constructing A Truly Quiet Gaming PC · · Score: 1

    I also have a Dragon Orb from thermaltake, and I was conned into it through propaganda from both their site (citing that it was ~37dBa) and from overclockers.com, also citing it in the sub-40dBa range. I assure anyone who buys this particular fan that they will have difficulty sleeping in the same room as their box. I can hear the thing from 2 rooms away, with the TV on!

  4. how long will it take on Magnetic Fluids · · Score: 2, Funny

    just wait until this hits the infomercials.. they'll probably have some sort of offer for "therapeutic gel" that you bathe in. just toss your favorite electrical appliance in, and voila!

  5. Practical uses of this thing.. on Sandia's 20-Million-Pixel, 130-Square-Foot Screen · · Score: 1

    are being overlooked by the researchers. the real money in this world comes from the entertainment business. think about it, all they have to do is find a bunch of rich guys who play CS or UT, and bam, theres the money.

  6. Re:Fix it by ***outlawing*** galaxy collisions! on Milky Way & Andromeda Collision · · Score: 1

    after the whole china incident, i doubt that the big bad bush would have a problem if he was allowed to control "foreign bodies". ha. haha. *hackcoughdie*

  7. We can fix it on Milky Way & Andromeda Collision · · Score: 2

    In another 3 billion years, according to moore's law, our processors are going to have enough transistors to attract nearby galaxies just by turning on. i bet that didnt go into the particle field.

  8. rules are rules on Using Windows w/ 100% Open-Source Software? · · Score: 2

    one word. vmware.
