  1. ScratchPad on GMail Sign-Ups Via Mobile · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If Google's desktop scratch pad can rival something like Editplus. That would be really outstanding.

  2. Re:wrong direction? on Robot Bat With Echolocation · · Score: 1

    The bigger problem with the processing is that echolocation requires 2 organs. A mouth to send the signal and an ear to receive. Sight for example, only requires eyes alone to see.

  3. Re:They still work damn cheap... on Growth in Indian Offshoring Slowing · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Dude if you don't want to read my posts just skip it. Stop being a fucking Anonymous grammar teacher when you can't even spell yourself.

  4. Re:HA! on AOL Fined for Making it Hard to Cancel Service · · Score: 1

    Canceling your bank account would mean you are in the negatives in debit. You still owe them.

    Damn, if canceling my account was the key to stopping bills, I'd max out all my credits and close my shit out.

    There is also this weird cultural work phenomenon that I don't think US management is prepared for from India outsourcing.

    At my company, everytime a new India employee joins a team, one the existing employee who has worked the longest automatically expect to become a manager.

    This guy would do nothing and just manage all the new employees. We thought it was a joke at first. But this is really bizarre as every new hire have that same belief.

  6. Re:4 out of 5 swinging dicks recommend... on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 1

    There is countless debates on the plating issue.

    The most interesting political theory I have ever come upon is that the Bush administration wants to encourage spending. For example, plates will cost you $1. A blown up vehicle will cost you $10.

    The goal is to encourage manufacturing of new vehicles and push the economy forward as much as possible. Before you bite my head off, there is at least a dozen other spins just as strange.

  7. Re:Like em, keepin em on Lucene in Action · · Score: 1

    I think you sumed it up best out of everybody here. The bookmarking concept is practically perfected to the point where there is little room to improve.

  8. Re:China's priorities.... on Chinese Government to Put a Time Limit on Gaming · · Score: 1

    More people die from other entertainment like sking, swimming, amusement park rides, playing with firearms.

    I don't know why there is such a huge emphasis on video game deaths around the world.

  9. StyleXP on Enlightenment DR17 On the Linux Desktop · · Score: -1, Troll

    We don't need 10 flavors of Gnome, KDE, Enlightment etc. We need a very customizable engine like StyleXP for windows with a billion interface skins to download.

  10. Re:It's called the DS upgrade. on PSP 2.0 Update Finally Released · · Score: 1

    I agree with the AC. My 10 year old cousins would find that list childish. You can't possibly expect an adult to buy a DS based on that list.

  11. Re:Jesus, that's a lot for a game system on XBox 360 Bundles Top $700 · · Score: 1

    At $600 the console has got to cater to adults at least the 1st generation games.

  12. Re:or Fedora Core on Yellow Dog Linux Finds New PPC Hardware Vendor · · Score: 1

    I used to have an old mac that I tried to run PowerPC linux with. I have never had a hard time with any distro. This one had me stumped for good.

    I couldn't believe my eyes, but I gave up. That was also the last time I ever tried linux on mac hardware.

  13. Re:Wow... on Sony Goes After Saturday Night TV · · Score: 1

    It almost doesn't matter since every other person is getting a DVR. You are watching thursday TV on saturday anyways.

  14. In other news on Lockheed Martin Hardware to Protect NYC Transit · · Score: 2, Funny

    New subway train panels are now armed with homing missiles. Followed by M-16s under every seat in case of emergency. Train headlights have also been replaced with vulcan cannons.

  15. Re:Number of comments on story correlates strongly on Japanese Companies Set to Compete with iTunes · · Score: 1

    If there is one thing I learned about my trip to Asia not that long ago.... They love their mainstream artists.

    Their pop culture revolves around a small number of top 10 artists. All the school girls worship them. The US is the exact opposite with lousy mainstream artists that can't sing or make music period. With a majority of the talent underground. That's why iTunes work here, and might not in Japan.

  16. Re:Heh on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the status of that is. So much talk way back about Holographic cubes that write on light flashes. No needle grinds or physical motor. Can be chucked across a living room no problem. Where is this stuff now?

  17. Re:What software? What terms? on Intel/AMD Battle Rages On · · Score: 1

    OMG is this the wave of the future!? Reliving old commercials again. This came straight out of the Pepsi challenge.

    They are going to have 2 fancy Alienware case, and ask kids which Soda/Processor do they prefer.

  18. Re:In other words on More Students Prefer Interdisciplinary to CS · · Score: 1

    I have been in 3 very different Hi-tech companies the past 8 years. Not a single HR division in any of these companies even care for a degree. Companies love to hire people with no degrees or half degrees(2 out of 4 years). Why? Cause they are cheaper to hire. They are still good people by HR's book.

    Doens't the Revolution have backwards compatibility "with enhancements"? I thought it was more than just straight emulation.

  20. Re:All I know is... on New MRI Technique Can Detect Diabetes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I had a friend who used to research at Mass general hospital years ago. The problem is not the budget. Problem was always "people resources".

    MA has one of the highest turn over rates for doctors in the country. Doctors make the same nationwide, they prefer not living in a state with inflated real estate prices and top-10 worst traffic and winters. The influx of student doctors from local colleges overwhelm these hospitals. Which forces any veteran doctor... a teacher. That's 2 jobs in 1.

  21. In other news on TI Calculators Play Movies · · Score: 5, Funny

    Student was expelled from school when he accidentally played loud porn in a classroom during an exam.

  25. Re:Same here on Is the Net an Independent Artist's New Radio? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am wondering if corporations are already controlling the future of radio now. If you go to iTunes, the top 10 podcast feeds used to be anyone's talk show out of their basement.

    Now it's all ABC, Ebert Roeper, Newsweek same shit you see on the newstand. Why waste time with a new medium, if it is the same people delivering the same message.
