  1. Link to a more science based cooking show on Ask Alton Brown How Food+Heat=Cooking · · Score: 1

    http://www.americastestkitchen.com/

  2. Thing is on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 1

    The product seems cool enough to sell it's self. I mean it's not as complex as a freaking TiVo.

  3. Exploded centrifuge images on NYC Subways Testing Flywheels · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://web.mit.edu/charliew/www/centrifuge.html

  4. Cool Screenshots on nVidia NV3x Sneak Peek · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Those are amazing

  5. Microsoft NT7 on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    Can't Microsoft figure out a better way to install NT7?

  6. AOL owns ~10% of Tivo on Time Warner to Allow Digital Recording · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Subject is the message

  7. Re:Not likely to do you any good in your home thou on Gaming on the IMAX · · Score: 1

    Well, if he's into "bumps", his penis is probably shriveling. I'd type more, but I have to go jack off on my Land Rover.

  8. Unsupported on Windows 2000 - Nine Months to Live · · Score: 1

    So I was helping an office with their network yesterday. Two printers are hooked up to a Windows 98 machine. The box need the latest service pack. So I click that handy windows update link. And the page sayeth - "This product is no longer supported".

    What a messed up way to say, "We deleted a web link just to shaft you into upgrading"

  9. Give me a break. on Blender Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    When one uses 3D software to create a desired visual result, it is required that they have rational capacities to grasp catrtesian abstractions in a virtual environment. 3D software still has a long way to go. It sounds like your asking someone to Brycitize Blender by adding a "Make Look Cool Button"

  10. Re:why are memory factories in ireland? on Take a Peek Inside the Dane-Elec Memory Plant · · Score: 1

    Part of the reason the economy in Ireland is so strong at the moment was giving tech companies like this big tax breaks to move there. After 10 years or so those tax breaks expire.

  11. What you talking bout Willis on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    It's nice to see

    about:mozilla

    is still there :)

  12. get in to the O'Reilly conf for free on LOTR Special Effects at OSCON · · Score: 1

    In the back of O'Reilly books tear out those postcards. Write your name in big letters on the back then laminate. This is the secret to getting in for free.

  13. BLUEPRINT FOR VATICAN III on Copy That Floppy? Go To Jahannum (Hell) · · Score: 1

    http://www.natcath.com/NCR_Online/archives/050302/ 050302a.htm

  14. What a waste on SACD-CD Hybrids -- A Way Out For Us Both? · · Score: 1

    Go ahead make another format that requires physical resources - build another factory - what the hell is wrong with downloading the product you greedy fucking bastards!

  15. Re:iJET Services for the Plebes on Echelon Architect Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Would you rent a device that broadcasts your gps and audio via telephone microphone? They watch,
    they listen - but probably not to you.

  16. Re:Aibo Virus on Sony to Publish Aibo Specifications · · Score: 1

    I tried that until I decided to keep one, and now I can't stop collecting them.

  17. Heres the truth on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1

    Fact - The vehicle Mulder escaped in was a recent model Ford Expedition.

    Fact - This episode is heavy with Ford commercials advertising the Expedition.

    This future advertising is changing.

    The real conspiracy has something to with their implied evil regarding Sonic Blue, TiVo and others

  18. Re:selling to the lcd on Why Doesn't Sci-Fi Hit the Bestseller Lists? · · Score: 1

    Happyclam I agree with you very much. I chose a shoot from the hip way to illustrate that "top" lists are not reflective of whats actually at the top. If a worst seller sci fi book is actually a good book, word of mouth will create more demand than a top ten list.

    Currently reading:

  19. selling to the lcd on Why Doesn't Sci-Fi Hit the Bestseller Lists? · · Score: 1

    Top seller lists are designed to help sell as many books as possible. Those who are not among sharpest crayons in the box tend to have more free time to consume fiction. I think smarter people whose lifestyles revolve around science fact, spend much of their reading time consuming science fact. If reading fiction, tech people have an obvious tendency towards science fiction. Since most people are dull crayons and avoid science fiction, sf is not as profitable as what we consider less than worthy reading material. Slop sells and if it's at the top of a list it will sell faster. I don't claim this to be true, but I'm sure it's a contributing reason to the lack of SF on BS lists.

  20. Hmm on Teach An Old Aibo New Tricks · · Score: 1

    If you can afford an Aibo why don't you get a maid?

  21. Yeah, but..still might have something funny on Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version · · Score: 1

    I'm looking at the Kazaa search interface
    and hauntingly reminds of The Registers recent story about the Windows XP search companion. I am not a code head, but it appears to me that Kazaa's search functionality is based on something native to Windows. If Kazaalite propagates, and if it is in fact based on this parasitic search functionality, would MS get to see any of what is searched?

  22. Other price changes on TiVo Service Cost Rising · · Score: 0, Troll

    And obviously the price of news worth reading must have gone up as well. Spend a little money would ya!

  23. Dear Mr. Lasseter - subtitles on Disney Aquires Sen to Chihiro, Lasseter to Dub · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please suggest that digital projection theatres have midnight showings with subtitles and the original Japanese voice tracks instead of the celebrity flavor of the month voices (like that X-files chick or the guy from slingblade). I already sat through a Miyazaki film with tacky Hollywood dub.

  24. What about winmx? on Review of Pay Napster · · Score: 1

    www.winmx.com

  25. It's foony on Hacker U. · · Score: 1

    http://www.uact.edu/ has a Net Defense program.
