  1. They should not be too lauded on AOL Cans 1 billion Spams In One Day · · Score: 1

    seeing as their olden days policies are a good reason for the amount of spam.

  2. Re:Mining the Moon on The Future That Hasn't Arrived · · Score: 1

    So, what you're trying to say is "China wants to mine the moon." Am I getting you right? Wasn't sure. ;)

  3. They bought Sega, right? on Xbox Coming to Arcades · · Score: 1

    Cuz they sound just like Sega.

  4. why use http at all? on Selling Management on the Hazards of Not Using HTTPS? · · Score: 1

    Even on public sites, why do people use http at all? Except for the fee for a certificate, what's the holdup? There seems to be a sense of importance that comes with "secure" transactions that keeps people away. Am I just crazy or is there a good reason for not having secured channels for everything, since it's so darn easy to use?

  5. quick question on Amazon Scores Another Patent · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to patents and such, so by "method" do they allow for others to produce their own methods, or are they patenting the idea of a message board in regards to an item?

  6. well... on Digital 4 Track Recorders? · · Score: 1

    seeing as how noone's pointed this out, you forgot the body text to the article...

    Hold on, everybody's pointed that out. Oh well.

  7. in a related story, on Life-Saving Baseballs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Fox Sports has ordered a number of the mic'ed balls in order to promote its new "Sounds of the Game" portion of its MLB coverage. Hear the deafing sound of the bat cracking against a homerun ball, then listen to the fans fight over said ball.

  8. I can never think of good subject lines... on How Configurable Should a Desktop User Interface be? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The "desktop" metaphor implies that the ui should be as configurable as a desktop. Stable drawers full of crap, movable inbox full of crap, etc.

    The user should be able to do whatever it takes to work better. As for the applications, I think this holds true too, to a lesser extent.

    Very many tools seem to duplicate the workspace idea (Macromedia's MX suite comes to mind) so they should be configurable (to me, at least), but applications which don't replicate the workspace (e.g. a file manager, a text editor) shouldn't be user-configurable any more than an ink pen should be.

  9. know your tools on Codebreaking - Taking the First Step? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The better you know what's out there to use, the better the chance of recognizing what you're up against.

  10. Re:That is silly on The Demise of Model Rocketry? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is a model terrorist a well-behaved terrorist or an ill-behaved terrorist?

  11. no big deal on VMware: Another Netscape? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Microsoft is only looking for more ways to slow Windows down so you'll need faster computers.

  12. RTFA! on EU Agrees to Give Passenger Data to U.S. · · Score: 1

    Or else the submitter was trying to prove that editors DON'T read any articles to see if they are accurate.

  13. Odds are on Larry Page: Google Was an Accident · · Score: 1

    Edison and Einstein were accidents, too.

  14. The hardest part on Microsoft Switcher Ads: Part 2 · · Score: 1

    is that the majority of people they will find will be switching from Mac OS 9 or before. If they have ads where people start talking about pre OSX macs, apple can point that out in their next round of ads, probably in print, cuz they seem to be more offensive-minded in print, IMHO.

  15. Combine with 1394 over tcp/ip on iSCSI Specification Approved · · Score: 0

    And we really can use firewire to replace scsi.

  16. If this works out... on California EULA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Software stores will start acting more like car dealerships. An associate will walk you through the EULA and get you to sign it before you get to take home your purchase. It will become an even bigger hassle as licenses get longer. People will yearn for the old days, when no one really cared about buying software. Who wants to buy a game for Jimmy when you have to sit through an hour of "you do realize the consequences of your actions..." crap.

    or maybe I'm just being bitter and negative...

  17. When asked why... on Scientists Grow Pig's Heart On Sheep's Neck · · Score: 1

    the scientists simply blushed and started giggling madly...

  18. Re:Blasphemy! on Dell Dropping The Floppy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh, you were the one storming out of the Apple Store ;)

  19. Press Conference transcript? on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Does anyone know where I can find a transcript of today's press conference? Thanks in advance.

  20. Re:Next generation of cheats on Tetris AI System · · Score: 0

    I'd like a Neo-mode. One where you can dodge bullets yet at the same time not jerk around too much.

  21. How delightfully useless... on Tetris AI System · · Score: 1

    yet I'm so jealous.

  22. Mac compatibility on Is Windows Ready For Joe Longneck? · · Score: 1

    As we all know, for Windows to succeed on the desktop, it needs to ramp up compatibility with the current best desktop so it may gain marketshare ;)

  23. Another use... on First HDD MPEG4 Video Camcorder · · Score: 1

    would be for portable viewing of MP4 files. That would be killer.

  24. one word on Favor Ideas for a Geeky Wedding? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    legos

  25. Clarification on Peephole Displays · · Score: 1

    "Novel" here means "unsellable".
    *watches as users wave palm pilot around, frantically looking for where they wrote down that phone number.
