  1. Re:Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proo on Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The question is whether the people setting up to create mathematical proof are ready themselves?

    So many times I see people use programs like MAPLE to show something mathematical, and it ends up a disaster.

    Problems is the brain on the chair, not brain on machine.

  2. Re:April fools was last week :-( on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 0

    I can't believe someone marked this guy Troll with 0 score. The post is actually correct to a good degree.

    People are too damn patriotic to see thru the truth. Soon victoria secret catalogs will be illegal.

  3. The is a contradiction on Software Vending Machines · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Half the software industry is trying to make all these hi-level security iso so that CDs can't be copied.

    Half the software industry is moving toward "Software-to-go" so that software can be distributed easily.

    Which is it? You can't have both.

  4. Re:I don't know about you, on Netflix to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I agree. I think the U.S. market is trying to push too much through the bandwidth. This ain't exactly Japan where everyone lives 3 inches away from each other with 100baseT networks.

  5. Re:This is invertanly good. on Weapons in Space · · Score: 1

    I would almost agree.

    I don't think ANY WAR was a contributor to bringing Internet technology to the masses. That stuff has been used by researchers since the 70s.

  6. Re:We have a Hannibal Lecter here or something? on How To Catch A Scammer/Spammer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't care what he eats. As long as he's not sticking the USB drive up where the sun don't shine in public.

  7. Gaming Help on Videogame Strategy Guides On DVD - A Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    I have bought one strategy guide and one game shark in my life time.

    Both of which I anticipated great use for, but in the end it was a huge waste of money.

    The best solution for me was having a PC online two feet next to me while I play games. That allow me to surf the web and access infinite resources.

  8. Re:I thought this might be a product for geek grrl on Sony's Happiness Controller Game Elevates The Joy · · Score: 1

    It sure gives a new meaning to the word "joystick".

  9. This is garbage news on Sun and Microsoft Make Nice · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the corporate/business world even when companies are partnering up, they are still always under consideration to be a competitor.

    They are going up fight in the sales trenches just as they were before. Only difference would be the CEOs talking less trash.

  10. Like the DOS days on Zero Install: The Future of Linux on the Desktop? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Everything was just a matter of folder installs during the DOS days. You copy a binary and run a binary and delete a binary.

    Believe it or not part of the reason why M$ went with the setup.exe installation was because software was harder to distribute around requiring the setup binaries.

    Funny how things come around full circle.

  11. Re:Price Drop? on Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans · · Score: 1

    Don't expect Sony to ever dip the price BELOW Microsoft though.

    I think this console war is pretty much close to end, and Sony destroyed their competitors.

    Next Round ->

  12. Re:Desktop... on NYT: The New Breed of Gaming Laptops Get Serious · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Until the day laptop graphic parts become superior, I am 100% on the desktop.

    Can't imagine the temperature issue of a graphics card inside a laptop.

  13. Re:SuSE? on 'Sneak Preview' of SUSE 9.1 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I "was" a redhat fan. But I find it hard to stick to them after the free release became fecesdora.

    And I am not the only one...

  14. Apple is destined to struggle with profit on Apple's Rumored PowerPod · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Right when they had a hot item in the market, namely mini iPod, the demands far exceeded supply. It's like the story of Apple. They can never get it right.

    Go ahead gimme that -100 flamebait troll you mod player hater.

  15. Free food is nothing on Using the internet for free food? · · Score: 1

    What's worse is free condoms.

    Nothing like knowing someone is now pregnant cause the free internet condom failed.

  16. Re:That's nothing on People with real l337 speak names? · · Score: 1

    We actually had three teachers in the same school named...

    Richard Burns (dick.burns@xxx.edu)

    Dickie Scrape (dick.scrape@xxx.edu)

    Philip Dickens (phil.dickens@xxx.edu)

  17. Fetch me porn on Pigeons' Bandwidth Advantage Quantified · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if I can train my pets to fetch me playboys from local 7-11s, I am as good as without broadband.

  18. Programming Scheme on The Worst Development Job You've Ever Had? · · Score: 1

    I know someone who spent a summer programming scheme which is real close to lisp. He claimed it was the worst computer job ever.

    Let's just say the last 20 pages of his code was all closing paranthesis ")", that's how aweful the experience was.

  19. Here in MA on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    Ok, here in MA I am doing Hi-Tech. It's a great state if you are already employed in Hi-Tech and trying to move forward.

    It's an aweful state if you've been out of Hi-Tech and trying to get back in. Competition is so fierce, if you were really trying to be rich making a living. This is the wrong state.

  20. Where are the Iraqis on Presidential Gaming - A Political Machine? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heard there was a secret code where you can control Bush and his political party to randomly start wars with other countries over WMD. That tops GTA.

    Republican Bush lovers will certainly mod me down flamebait troll -100.

  21. School Projects on Making A Better Browser History · · Score: 1

    Umm.... doesn't the university own any projects you innovate on school grounds now? Wasn't there a law passed during the tech boom to allow school to PWN you and your ideas while you are a student.

  22. Re:Oh no. on Microsoft Cancels 2004 Xbox Sports Lineup · · Score: 1

    They can start selling windows to come with the Xbox. You know M$ is on track one day to do this anyways.

  23. Re:The telegraph itself, ditto on Signor Marconi's Magic Box · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately history doesn't repeat itself EXACTLY. So the similarities are parallel at best.

  24. Re:No Suprise on MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why do people mark these comments flamebait, at least the post is speaking some level of truth.

    Damn you mod player haters.

  25. RIAA can't lose on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 0

    Now people buy the CDs = RIAA profit

    People who are sued by RIAA = RIAA profit

    People download mp3s and RIAA complain = RIAA Free marketing

    People download half an mp3 = RIAA Free sample to the public

    People who read about RIAA = RIAA Free marketing

    Consumers just can't win. I don't think TV stations have nearly the edge RIAA does.
