  1. Re:...decrypt the film in the server... on The Future of Digital Cinema · · Score: 1

    I wonder how long it would take for someone to crack the encryption on these feeds if they are sending them to the studios.

  2. Re:Sensationalism... on Senator Orrin Hatch a Pirate? · · Score: 1

    However, doesn't this show that if Hatch was to get his bill passed, he computer could be accidentally destroyed because they thought it was a commercial site?

  3. Re:In other news..... on Wireless LAN Equipment Shipments Up · · Score: 1

    Maybe wireless is really cool. I like being able to go to a park and still check what the weather is going to be like. I like sharing my broadband connection with the neighbors. The more wifi becomes mainstream. The more money will be spent on improving the technology. I don't like cables.

  4. It's a conspiracy on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 1

    Isn't it obvious? Symantec is trying to take over the world!

  5. Work Requirement on For Those Long Coding Sessions: The Food Patch · · Score: 2, Funny

    So when will my job start requiring this new technology so i can work without a lunch break.

  6. Re:Insane but true... on Microsoft: You Need Permission to Sell Our Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If Microsoft can step into business decisions when their software is included in business deals then they technically could step and stop almost all corporate mergers. If that is true then someone needs to start challenging these copyright and EULA laws.

  7. Re:Naturally... on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1
    Personally, I enjoy a night at the movies, but I also enjoy snuggling up at home to a movie with the girlfriend... I think both will be around for a while, personally.
    Are you talking about the girlfriend and theaters or theaters and home entertainment systems?
  8. Re:Problems? on Tom's Investigates Hard Drive Warranty Changes · · Score: 1

    The larger hard drives seem to fail more than the smaller ones. I have a 2 yr old Seagate 20gig that is dead and a 60 gig Maxtor that is a little over a year old that is going to die anyday. The extra heat from the 7200 drives seems to make the difference.

  9. Re:While we all hate AOL on The Sinking Ship that is AOL · · Score: 1

    We do use AT&T at work. However if I am on vacation or visiting friends I am not going to dial-in to my work ISP.

  10. While we all hate AOL on The Sinking Ship that is AOL · · Score: 5, Interesting

    While we all hate AOL they still do offer the most access numbers out of any other ISP if you do a lot of traveling.

  11. Re:World water supply on More on GM's New Fuel Cell Cars · · Score: 1

    If the cars release only water vapor, is it pure or does it need purification? It could be a way for someone to keep fresh water and not have to go to the store all the time.

  12. It would suck if it broke on Broadband To Hit The South Pole · · Score: 1

    Imagine being called out to fix a fiber optic break down there.

  13. POTS free for 2 years on Internet Phones Replacing POTS In Japan · · Score: 1

    Been POTS free for 2 years(coincidentally pot free) and have never regretted it. However, VOip is a cool technology, I just don't understand the use of it in a home setting? I already have my cellphone with free long distance.

  14. Re:This isn't new on Virtual Sword Fighting · · Score: 1

    That is what the arcades need to do. Convert to VR porn. The malls will love it.

  15. Re:48Kbps to 14Kbps? on Is Starband's Satellite Internet Service Palatable? · · Score: 1

    You have never used CenturyTel in the sticks before have you? They really are that bad. Especially when they are the only choice and you live in the country. I wouldn't be suprised if they were one of the most hated telephone companies in the US.

  16. Microsoft allow it? on Rolling Your Own Business Desktops? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Will Microsoft even allow you to recycle your Win2k license on a new computer?

  17. Business are very Reactive instead of Proactive on Can Technology Make The Money For You? · · Score: 1

    I've noticed over the years that businesses tend to wait until something is broken before trying to fix it. Communication breakdown occurs much quicker when companies refuse to accept that new(er) technologies can increase productivity and correct problems. Alas, they don't realize it until it is too late because they don't want want to open their pocketbooks.

  18. The card is a waste of money on Review: Creative Labs Video Blaster - Digital VCR · · Score: 1

    I agree completely with above comment. Why have a converter in first place let alone have it make incompatible mpeg files? I was very disappointed. Not only did I have the same problems but the batteries that came with the card where dead and two weeks later the entire card just died. Creative Labs still made me pay shipping to send it back. They rushed it to market and now they are paying for it.

  19. Re:TiVo-like capabilities? Hardly! on The Napsterization of TV · · Score: 1

    What separates this particular software from what is out there already? I realize the big picture is sending shows to others. However this has been debated before and is already possible. Why is this particular product worth mentioning?

  20. UW one of top drinking schools on Measuring The Distance From Earth To Moon · · Score: 1

    If he is from university of Wisconsin are we sure he isn't doing this research at a bar?
