  1. Re:Erm.. on Beware Your Online Presence · · Score: 1

    "The truth will always out... or at least we can hope so. Otherwise we're all just a character assassination from being social pariahs."

    Welcome to the new world, where truth doesnt really matter. Doubt me? Just look around..Truth is totally optional, its all about smear.

  2. Legality on Beware Your Online Presence · · Score: 1

    If its published to the public, its totally legal to look at, by anyone, for any reason.

    You can be denied a job beacuse your hair style is ugly. Or you smell bad. No need to verify facts. Even if its proven it was 'just your friends screwing around', you can still be denied as who wants a worker with friends like that?

  5. Doh! on Mars Rover Spirit Down a Wheel · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Should have got AAA roadside assistance.

  6. Re:Water? on Self Contained Water Cooled Radeon X1900, Retail · · Score: 1

    Since when is a HOT cpu at room temperature?

  7. But i wont release it.. on Xbox 360 Backup Discs Bootable · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Phfft. What garbage. If you arent going to release, it why even bother telling anyone? Its not like your work can be replicated ( proved ) and it makes you look like you are just making it up.

    " i found out the secret of area 51, but since it might be used improperly , ill just not tell you the details ".. its about as valid as he story subject.

    And as a disclaimer, im not a gamer.

  8. Re:Not all that local... on Yahoo! Launches Local News · · Score: 1

    You mean there are other places worthy of news reporting then North America? Wow!

    Seriously tho, gotta start somewhere, and since they are based here..

  9. Water? on Self Contained Water Cooled Radeon X1900, Retail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It could be someting other then water, like antifreeze.. Woudl be able to use a peltier block and run it even colder then you can with water.

    Or even sodium. So what if it breaks and the user dies ;)

  10. Visual SourceSafe? on Graphical File Revision Control for Non-Techies? · · Score: 1

    Is graphical, and a standalone product. True, its windows only but you didnt specify that limitation.

  11. Analog Hole on Sony DRM and the New Digital Hole · · Score: 3, Funny

    You act like having the ablity to copy things in an analog format is wrong or something.

  12. Re:It's... well... what... on Canadian Record Industry Disputes Own P2P Claims · · Score: 1

    They will just send it to their spin masters and twist it around somehow.

    Will it be false? Sure, but the common man ( and legislature person ) will believe it.

  13. Marketing on Info on Intel's Viiv DRM · · Score: 1

    It was all just marketing speak to get them 'in the door'.

    You can bet the *AA's know what is going on, and support intel laying low as they slowly invade daily life with more DRM technology that can be activated later, long after its too late for the average joe to turn back.

  14. innovation isnt dead on No More Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Its just sleeping.

  15. Creep of the Nanny State on U.S. House Clears Anti-Internet Gambling Bill · · Score: 1

    While i could care less about gambling, this slow progression of the "nanny state" here in the US is really making me ill.

  16. Just like Free Healthcare on Democrats May Promise Broadband for All · · Score: 1

    Nothing from the government is free people. Think.. Dont let them suck more of our tax dollars for this crap

  17. Re:Long term market on Is the Physical CD Still A Viable Market? · · Score: 1

    It was a joke anyway. But, all kidding aside the art that is shipped with CDS still cant compare to the sleeves that held a LP.

    Ever see Zeppelin III, with the 'turn disk' built into the cover, for example?

  18. Long term market on Is the Physical CD Still A Viable Market? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure there is a market for CD's, with their covers, artwork fold out images, lyric sheets.. oh wait. that was vinyl.. nah, cds are worthless.

  19. Welcome to the new world on Judge May Force Google to Submit to Feds · · Score: 2, Informative

    Where nothing is considered private and personal.

    Live your life accordingly.

  20. Reminds me of an old show on Seven-Ounce Linux 'Wrist PC' · · Score: 1

    I think it was called ARK2? Back in the early 80's... They ran around in this cool looking Mobile Home thing with an observation bubble on top.., and had a little car like thing to 'scout' about..

    Show sucked, but the 'stuff' was cool.

    Always wanted to build one of those 'scout cars' :)

  21. Mass Migration? on Will Novell's Desktop Linux Catch On? · · Score: 1

    Dont hold your breath.

    Even if it was the perfect answer, the prospect of "mass migration" isnt practical.

  22. before you blame IT on What Would You Demand From Your IT Department? · · Score: 1

    Take a look at budget. Often the IT department is left with an inadequate budget and has to 'make do' the best they can ( until it blows up, then get blamed and a new budget to fix 'their' problem ).

    When you do your job right in IT, you pretty much fade into the background, making it harder to ask for $ to keep up with demand. Its often hard to sell ' future plans' to CFO's these days.

    One place I was at felt IT wasn't even a needed part of the business so i got almost no budget for several years, but managed to keep it together until the new CFO that came in, ' well, everything seems to just work, what do we need you for?'.. They had a total melt down soon afterwards and hired a contractor that screwed them hard. 6 months later they were bankrupt due to additional poor decisions.

  23. More then 10 years on Verizon To Use New Tech With Old Cables · · Score: 1

    15 years ago i was working on a plant network run on broadband/cable TV. All internal network, with a T1 heading to the outside. Each pc directly connected to the cable. Ran IBM"s PC-NET.

      It was really old tech even then.. I kept wondering why cable companies didnt do someting like that themselves since it was proven technology.

  24. You are kidding right? on Game Previews Just Game Marketing? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is some new discovery? Hasnt this been f-ing obvious since day one? Geesh..

  25. Broadband on Cable? on Verizon To Use New Tech With Old Cables · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Umm havent we been doing this for 20+ years now? ( though admittedly 'home service' is farily new in the grand scheme of things )

    What did i miss here?
