  1. Re:One gigabyte? on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 1

    Well there was an old article from byte magazine about the Holographic Cube which writes data via light flashing on he cube. Technically that would be the ultimate solution since disk still requires a spin. And light flashing is about as big a non-mechanical advantage as you can get.

  2. Re:John C. Dvorak on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As much as we all hate M$ products, Word will be resurrected to the max when they can figure out how to effectively do hand writing recognition.

    What's available in the market now is just not cutting it. People with chicken scratch hand writings have to flock back to the keyboard.

  3. Re:Here's a link on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    Americans need a serious dose of real history. What they teach you about racism, slavery etc are granted real.

    But the real history behind EVERYTHING is in the conspiracies. Read "The 70 Greatest Conspiracy of all Time". The first space trip by NASA was done in a hollywood studio for example. What makes you think osama bin laden exist today? French laws can complain about yahoo's nazi merchandise. It doesn't matter. There is always a secondary motive somewhere.

  4. The Conspiracy on Interview With Chernobyl Engineer · · Score: 1

    That's nothing new. U.S health care has always been centered around pharmaceutical profits. Pharmacies charge 4x the cost of Canada even though the drugs were build from the same manufacturers. Then U.S. health delegations say "Canada and oversea medicine is unsafe". That's complete bullshit.

    By the end of the decade, U.S. health care will no longer be known to be top among the world. It'll go down as a service that is overpaid, too political and complicated. And Americans will be sitting on top of miracle treatments that no one can afford except the millionaires.

    The conspiracy behind all this is the population control. You either send a bunch of people to war and keep a low headcount OR you provide unaffordable heathcare. Conspiracy 101.

  5. Re:This is the way Slashdot will be made irrelevan on Windows Laptops Ship With Linux Media Player · · Score: 1

    There aren't too many other players that can adjust brightness and contrast. Resize and adjust a number of other features. The problem with the player is the media support. Can't play quicktime files etc.

    If someone can name a real strong windows media player alternative PLEASE SPEAK!!

  6. Re:Is it just me... on Can Infinium Compete In The Game Console Market? · · Score: 1

    Pfff.... I remember reading an old magazine in 1994 about the upcoming of a Phantom console from Infinium. Why is this article saying it's been in development for 1 year, when the reality is more like a decade.

  7. Re:Not the first time... on How 8 Pixels Cost Microsoft Millions · · Score: 1

    Please that's nothing. I know of a new restaurant with newly printed menus "Peking fuck" instead of "Peking duck".

    Apparently the menu printing restaurant hired a cheap and angry teenager to do the printing.

  8. Mark Cuban on Mark Cuban on the future of HD Media · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People will always download anything at any size if they want it bad enough. People sleep and their computers don't.

    Just like there was a conspiracy rumor about government preventing the 100mbps network deployment to people's home because it just promotes pirating even more. Bullshit? I dunno.

  9. Re:UNIX on the desktop in 3 steps! on Linux Desktop Guide · · Score: 1

    The funny part is everything ends on day 3. On the mac you don't have a whole lot of apps and games compared to windows and linux. And don't bring up the iPod, that's just not part of the desktop or OS in any way.

  10. Re:No thanks on Pay-As-You-Drive Car Insurance · · Score: 1

    An insurance company that uses technology well? That sounds like a version 1.0 concept.

    I'll pass too and wait for this the idea to mature before they mess up my insurance.

  11. Re:social contract on Red Hat Walks The Linux Tightrope · · Score: 1

    Redhat management sees customers saying "fedora sucks, I'll pay $$$ for the good enterprise version."

    The reality is customers are saying "fedora sucks, I'll go Gentoo and suse."

    Don't get me wrong Redhat AS is solid. But talk about demeaning your own open-commmunity version in favor of the $$ version. As a former Redhat fan, that's tough to swallow.

  12. What's really sad on Olympians Banned From Blogging · · Score: 3, Informative

    At Boston University when students graduate they are prevented from taking their pictures while getting a diploma handed to you. You can pay the "BU professional photographer $10 a snap" later though.

    I know cause I have attended numerous relatives graduation. I sneaked a few pics on my camcorder and cameras, and people looked at me like I was on acid.

  13. Re:If I were to design a window system today on Gosling: If I Designed a Window System Today... · · Score: 0

    Everyone be quiet. Don't give M$ any ideas. They steal every idea possible. Obviously the only thing they have problem stealing is how to implement security, since no one's going to share that one.

  14. Re:Google did the right thing. on Google's IPO Trading Defies Dutch Auction Logic? · · Score: 1

    Is Google worth GM is a damn good question. Though I sure feel more people use Google than any other product I can think of... assuming you consider the search engine a product. If Google charged 1 cent for every search, they'd be richer than M$ by now.

  15. Real Olympic Game on On The Trendiest Concepts In Game Design · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to spend time to create the ultimate olympic game that's a non-button smasher. But include 50 events, and borrow old engines from EA or sega sports to include basketball, softball, soccer.

    I want to see vollyball, ping pong, tennis, along with all the track & field etc. Have it go online.

  16. Re:Ratio on paying users? on Broadband Majority in US · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. A user with 10 computers splitting the connection via DNS routing has a higher count than 4 people with broadband connections. Statistics are always messed up.

  17. Re:Call me lame on MMOG Subscription Analysis Provides New Insights · · Score: 1

    Soon anyone interested in a MMO game without someone having to commit a suicide over the game will be considered lame. Everquest and counting...

  18. Bad PS2 on Xbox, PS2 Get Near-Simultaneous European Price Cuts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I got a PS2 with a grindy gear near the lens. Or maybe the lens went to hell.

    I am so tempted to buy a new PS2... but only at $99.

  19. Re:No offence but on Linus Torvalds' Benevolent Dictatorship · · Score: 1

    Hey if Linus's real name was Brian or Jamal. Linux might have become Brianix or Jamalix, both of which are terrible names for unix period. That dude is born to be a unix dictator.

  20. Re:Oh, patients... on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I blame "detergent" for the root of ALL evil. If you use lots of detergents to wash your clothes without double rinsing, then put it in a dryer, it creates yellow-5 crystals. Which I swear will eventually wear and tear your body to hives and other allergic problems. Soon your body will be so weak, you'll be allergic to MS windows. Oh wait...

  21. Re:CONTENT!! on Internet Heading to Light Speed · · Score: 1

    It's funny but the porn industry is the true test barrier and pioneer for the computer industry. Yet when people p2p porn, no one defends them.

  22. Re:Not that new. on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 1

    Just like they promised terabyte hologram cubes 10 years ago. Cubes that write on laser contact with no real physical contact that were the size of a sugar cube. BS. More shananigan articles written to boost research funding. In reality 1 out of 100 projects find corporate $$$ support.

  23. Re:Olympics is a facist event on Wired on Defeating the Olympics Censorship · · Score: 1

    I think holding Olympics in Greece permanently is a super idea. After all, you're guaranteed front row seats on any event at $11 a pop. Christ, I can see a shitty movie in the theatre or a world class athlete compete. That's a no brainer.

  24. Blame Sony on Online Gaming Habits Surveyed · · Score: 1

    On the most dominant console, Sony charges $40 for an online adapter. Do they realize that if the price of the console drops to $99, then the adapter is almost half the console. Imagine buying a PC with a network adapter valuing at 40% of the cost?! No wonder online gaming still hasn't moved.

  25. Re:Proposal: Two sets of Athletic competitions on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    It's NOT an ethical issue. It's a PROFIT issue!

    It's the same reasons doctors prescribe an infinite amount of antihistimine for skin disorder for example. In return they can suggest a selective diet for free, but they don't. They + insurance companies need to cash in.

    Nothing in the U.S. is for ethics. The sooner you learn that, the better. Americans just do a damn good job hiding it. Better than anyone else in the world. Read "70 Greatest Conspiracy of all time", so many examples.
