  1. Merger? on Yahoo! Plans to Connect Services With Tivo · · Score: 1

    C'mon, that would be an acquisition not a merger.

  2. Re:I don't know which is more ridiculous... on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just buy your new dvr/cd drive/tv/whateverencodingdevice from China, Taiwan, Mexico or any other country we've been buying from in the last 15 years

  3. Just fuss on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 1

    First, TFA is just a speculation about a domain registration that not even Google owns, second, the premises are based on the fact that google has registered the domain name googletv. The blog article links to a NYT article that says nothing about google and TV.

    TWFA is just fuss by a googledrone.

  4. Re:Captured in Mexico on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 1

    FYI: Having sex in Mexico is not an offense, seems to be where you live it is.

  5. Re:Double standard? on Sex.com Hijacker Captured in Mexico · · Score: 1

    As well as the U.S. economy depends on foreign labour.

  10. Re:That is the lazy interviewer way. on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1

    Would you hire a teenager with just highschool for a senior project management position? I guess not. You would be surprised how many resumes you get when you post a job opening for a new position. Many candidates are just submiting resumes to without even reading the job descriptions. What I pointed in the parent post is how to screen for those unviable candidates. Now, when you have a candidate that actually is suitable for the job and discriminate because of age, yes, points taken, it's a federal offense.

  11. Re:That is the lazy interviewer way. on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1

    Whenever I get 100's of resumes to review for a position, I narrow down the candidates by

    1) Age / Education
    2) Location
    3) Expected income
    4) Experience

    You can skim that information within seconds and in a few hours you have a manageable amount of decent candidates.

    It was called ICQ, you still can download it I believe. Another internet victim that didn't survived the turn of the century

  14. Re:Just outlaw tourism on RFID Tags To Track Foreigners, Identify Dead · · Score: 1

    Hey, what about us who have 2 nationalities, (Mexico/Spain) in my case. I use my european documents to get into the US, been there lots of times, officers at the borders and airports treat europeans much better than they do with mexicans. Now I have the choice to be RFID'd if I enter as european or being treated like.. you know, Mexican. Thanks but no thanks. From now on I'll spend my vacations and money in Europe where I can travel freely across almost 30 countries and tourists are treated like what they are, guests, not criminals BTW: England is not Europe. Go there and ask.

  15. Re:Do as I say, not as I do on EFF Requests Help to Identify "Evil" Printers · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Sirius and Apple together - could be good... on Sirius in Negotiations With Apple · · Score: 1

    I think the device would be more like the Delphi MyFi, it justs sits in the craddle (antena attached to craddle) and records the programming.
    While on the go, you listen to whatever was recorded.

    Info on MyFi here

    Regular implementations of knowledge engines in AI use true/false semantics for automated learning, this would be the answer you could expect from such application, just like Mindpixel e.g. Sad you missed the sarcasm.
