  1. Wax Cylinders on Even Century Old Records Had Restrictive Licensing · · Score: 1

    The Edison cylinders or wax cylinders from that era or earlier also contain a EULA similar to what we see even today. The concept is not new.

  3. Don't Copy That Floppy! on Tech-Ed Funding to be Tied to Copyright-Ed? · · Score: 1

    Anyone recall the educational video "Don't Coppy that floppy"?

  4. Work from home on How Much Do You Value Your Office Space? · · Score: 1

    Many companies are also encouraging or even almost forcing work from home or mobile locations. Personally it's a nice option, but would rather not be doing that everyday.

  5. Both supported on Apple Switched Chips Too Soon? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Doesn't mean Apple can't rethink and switch back. From the looks of it, right now they are supporting both platforms. Since they have the ability to go back and forth (with performance loss of course) I can see strategic changes as they see fit.

  6. GPS on First Cell Phone for Dogs · · Score: 1

    Makes sense in the case of a lost dog to have a GPS on the animal. Not sure about "calling" the animal though.

  7. Half a Century on NASA Plan to Return to the Moon · · Score: 1

    Nearly half a century to "return" to the moon... Something tells me things aren't as efficent as can be.

  8. Re:Problem on ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected? · · Score: 1

    In a corporate setting it takes more than just "technical need" to patch servers, workstations etc. You would think it would be a trival thing to do, but not.

  9. Problem on ZOTOB Not Quite as Bad as Expected? · · Score: 1

    This worm is definately a problem. Just ask all the IT support staff out there who have lost sleep for the past few days patching systems, updating anti-virus, and chasing down infected workstations. Granted the world did not implode on itself because of this virus, but I can guarantee that it will cost organizations quite a bit because of it.

  10. DVD Cleaners etc on Short Lifetimes of Optical Drives? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't use Drive cleaners or even compressed air, majority of the time it does more harm than good.

  11. Re:Technology on Pentagon to Significantly Cut CS Research · · Score: 1

    Hope so, but where are we heading as far as computer technologies anyways? The "latest" crap is things like VOIP, RFID and wireless. All of which are not too special, all hype, and implemented kind of poorly. Obviously, as far as things such as processor technology/speed/etc, the increase has been fairly slow in the past few years, and not too much advancement in software or applications of such. Other than government, who's obviously out to fund things that immediately and directly benefit them at this point, companies are doing the same exact thing, generally funding things that make money only.

  12. Technology on Pentagon to Significantly Cut CS Research · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since the whole .COM bust, technology has been slow moving. Doesn't come as a surprise funding will be cut on such either. Pretty sad unfortunately, but just look at the slowdown in any research, new products and innovation.

  13. Re:Get it on Ebay! on Google Moves Into Drink Market · · Score: 1

    What's truly funny is how quick people were to check Ebay for this "invite cap"

    By morning there had already been 300 hits to the Ebay listing, by noon over 600, and now 1600+.

  15. MPAA on Wired Releases Creative Commons Sampling CD · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does the MPAA recognise this license? If so will they ever use it for more than just samples?

  16. Cheating. on Programming Assignment Guide For CS Students · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not cheating would be a good important one.

    OBVIOUS, but always missed. If you need to cheat, change majors.

  17. Better Software on Less Might Be More · · Score: 5, Interesting

    glad to see someone bring thing topic up. For the "normal" computer user, think about it, you play MP3s, use some type of IM, web browse, check email... All things that work fine on anything higher than lets say a 500MHz... As far as I've noticed, the average user's complaints of a slow computer is actually the disk access, and not the actual processor.

    It just seems lately they just have been coding software to be so bloated you need a faster computer to run it.

  18. Re:To suggest this is almost criminally stupid on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Problem with rubbing alcohol is it is generally not purely non-conductive, as well as it will take dust and other stuff in the computer and turn it into a nice conductive liquid. Unless you are able to use very pure solvent and a lot of it to make sure you remove all dust particles, I wouldn't go for this.

    My suggestion would actually be to remove as much of the dust from the system as possible. Use a vaccuum and an air compressor (forget those little bottles of "canned air") The majority of the dust might be in "Do Not Open" areas, like power supply, so open those and clean them. Eventually the nastiness will get covered up by other office dust and the smell will go away.

  19. Re:Part Number isn't everything on IBM Recalls 553,000 Laptop Power Units · · Score: 1

    Also, these have to be hitting EOL if they haven't already... We are in 2004...

  20. Server hardware on The Vanishing Act of VA Linux Hardware Docs? · · Score: 1

    We actually have run into the same problem here. I've discovered a lot of the hardware is actually off the shelf parts, Intel motherboards etc. So a lot of the information is out there. Now the only problem I have is finding aftermarket hardware such as drive trays.

  21. Australia? on Patent Mess May Stifle Australian Software · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This type of stuff has gotta affect everyone, not only in Australia.. Any thoughts on the matter?

  22. Hard Drive Speakers on Build A Stereo From an Old Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    Very simular to a post a while back, Afrotech's Hard Drive Speakers!

  23. SBAITSO. on Ask the Robotic Psychiatrist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only one comment I can make is Creative Labs, Dr. Sbaitso.

  24. Scams on 419er Lost in Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Gotta love these scams, wonder if anyone still falls for them, obviously it just takes one person. I'm sure more likely are the Ebay/Paypal and bank account phishing scams.
