  1. Re:Fix the link on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Compared to Hubble? on How About a Gigapixel Digital Camera? · · Score: 1

    Hubble can take pictues in the 2004-2010 timeframe and that is assuming this project isn't delayed or spectacularly destroyed when launched by an Ariane 5.

  3. Re:Monopoly on Google Acquires Picasa, Improves Blogging Tools · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it's an attempt to survive the built in search options in Longhorn. So it would be more along the lines of surviving Microsoft than trying to become Microsoft.

  4. Re:What about China? on North Korea Angered Over Ghost Recon 2 · · Score: 1

    They have, one example is the recent banning of "Hearts of Iron". Details here
    Apparently history is only allowed to be told if it uses the official PRC facts and not if it uses the true facts.
    P.S: PRC = People's Republic of China

  5. Re:Why no new Elite? on Creation Of Elite Charted · · Score: 2, Interesting
  6. Re:HOAX REVEALED! on "Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading · · Score: 4, Informative
  7. Re:Double Jeopary in Norway on Johansen Prosecutors Appeal · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiousity, how often do both sides disagree with the decision? "I don't care what the court said -- I'm guilty, damn it!"

    Sometimes the court may find the defendant guilty on one charge but innocent on another, this may cause both sides to appeal.

  8. Re:Inevitable really... on World of Spectrum gets a Visit from the IDSA · · Score: 1

    I don't think they care much about what damage it could do to their reputation as it's pretty much as bad as it can get already, now your comment about the power a positive and insightful IP enforcment body could have however...

  9. Re:Norway, Europe & The World on 'DVD Jon' Acquitted On All Counts in DeCSS Case · · Score: 1

    The deadline for implementing it was 22. December, so far only Denmark and Greece actually has. That could be considered opposition to it wouldn't you say?

  10. Re:Not supreme court on 'DVD Jon' Acquitted On All Counts in DeCSS Case · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is correct, if the verdict is appealed it will then be decided by the "lagmannsrett" and if it's appealed again it'll end up in the supreme court.

  11. Microsoft on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 1

    *We are Microsoft. Open your wallets and surrender your cash. We will add your biological and technological distinctivess to our own. You will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. Where *YOU* want to go today, is irrelevant.*

    Not to mention what you want to mod today.

  12. Re:I watched it as the lead-in to SU2. on Enterprise Season Premiere Tonight · · Score: 1

    Actually I've always considered what they did to be the best temporary solution to the problem, they bought themselves several years to discuss the ethical issues and rewieving the evidence. They can now choose to do nothing and let them die, or return in a year or two saying: "What do you know our researchers managed to develop a cure".

  13. He probably on Charles Simonyi leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1, Troll

    'Mr. Simonyi has left Microsoft with the right to use the intellectual property he developed and patented while working there.'
    He probably threathened to reveal some rather embarassing details about how Microsoft has abused it's market power if they didn't give it to him.

  14. Re:Don't get yourselves overheated here on Europe Net Users Now Outnumber US/Canada · · Score: 1

    You might want to keep in mind that the continent Europe includes countries like Belarus, Russia, Moldavia, etc, etc. Suffice to say that they drag the average down a bit.

  15. Re:Battery life? on Farthest Human-Made Object: First Quarter Century · · Score: 1

    So what, they still don't last forever.

  16. Re:Dude.. on Dell To Offer Windows-Less PCs · · Score: 1

    More money in Dell's pocket.

  17. Optimistic on Going Up? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    this elevator could be a reality within 15 years...

    Does anyone else think this is really really optimistic?

  18. Re:Yes, but where are the flying cars? on The Future in Gear · · Score: 1
  19. Why would they classify airships? on Big Black Delta Mystery Solved? · · Score: 1

    Why would the DoD classify information on some large airships to such a great extent?

  20. Re:His Ears on Skydiving from 25 Miles Up · · Score: 1

    Actually, the speed of sound is lower high in the atmosphere and higher at sealevel.

  21. Consequenses on Questions for Town Meeting with Congressman? · · Score: 1

    How do they evaluate the consequences of the bills before voting on them?
    It seems to me that this is an area in which they are sorely lacking.

  22. Terrorism on Unique ID Codes for CD / DVD Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    "feeds a growing black economy in which criminal networks use piracy to fund other activities such as drug dealing, arms trading, money laundering and terrorism."

    What's next? A claim that Osama Bin Laden is making money from the FastTrack network?

  23. Can there be a market for all these MMOGs? on MMORPGs Matrix and Star Wars · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Somehow I have a feeling that a lot of them will crash and burn due to an insufficent market.

  24. Re:Constants on Playing Ball in Space · · Score: 1

    Depends on where on earth you are, the earth isn't perfectly round you know. It's larger at the equator then at the poles.

  25. Re:500,000 light years away... on Exploding Star May Have Damaged Life on Earth · · Score: 1

    Actually our galaxy is ~100.000ly in diameter, but I agree with your conclusion.
