    You are now a level -1 Flaimbait.

  2. Namingschemes.com on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    This site has an extensive selection of naming schemes and is really helpful albeit being slow. A friend entered all the worlds nuclear power plants a couple of years ago.

  3. Re:MP3 != 100% compatible on New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    I think they mean that the file is 100% compatible with mp3-players. Ogg is not compatible with most portable music players.
    But I think that the logo sucks if its purpose is to represent the absence of DRM in the songs..

    It is a totally valid point!

  5. Re:It's sad.. on Google May Scrap Yahoo Deal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    However, innovation in search is not going to come from Google, Yahoo or Microsoft. Corporations are far too bureaucratic, conservative, and slow to develop new ideas. If you work in a corporation it can take you months to get approval to even start work on a new idea. No, It is going to come in the same way it happened for Google. Two guys working in their garage, with a damn good idea. These guys can pick it up and run with it, much faster than any corporation ever could.

    Google actually lets its developers use 20% of their time to work on own projects...which is an emulation of the twho guys in a garage I think...It leads to innovation and many of the best google services were born this way.

  6. Re:It's sad.. on Google May Scrap Yahoo Deal · · Score: 1

    I think you misinterpreted my post...
    I know fully well that Google is the largest actor on the online Ad market. And their other free "web" based tools are being pushed at unsuspecting consumers. Which I believe is bad mostly from a privacy standpoint, therefore I don't use any of their offerings for private communication and such.
    Also I don't like how the term "cloud" is gaining momentum. What is wrong with the good old Web or the Web 2.0? (which I also found silly)...

  7. It's sad.. on Google May Scrap Yahoo Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's sad that yahoo has to be sold at all.. I rarely use yahoo but it would be less than optimal to remove it from the competition. If it were removed there would only be MS and Google left as major search and advertising I think, please correct me if I'm wrong here.
    But I'd like it more if Google was the future owner of yahoo.. Microsoft is large enough in my opinion.

  9. Re:It's a trade off. on Why the Kill Switch Makes Sense For Android · · Score: 1

    I don't really know how the Android platform behaves but it is a Java sandbox which means the possibilities are limited to morph. I think it's only a subset of Java that can be used. But still it may be possible to do what you are describing.

  10. Will this make any difference? on International Spam Ring Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I'd like to believe that this will make a difference and I'll see my spam folder fill up a tiny bit slower. But I don't really think that this will make any lasting impact on the volume of spam getting forced upon us. I mean there are probably many actors lining up to take over these naughty boys business.

  11. YES! on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 4, Informative

    Some players have a dB-limit that can be activated. I remember that my old CD mp3 player did have this. It just did not allow the volume to be cranked up too high.

  12. Re:Answer: Money on How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    FWIW pro Athletes are paid so damn much because of a ruling long ago which decided that they are entertainers, and should be paid as such(too lazy to look it up, google it). Think about them as being well-paid actors in a weekly movie series. The prestige lies not in the money or physicality so much as the Hollywood-ality of it.

    I think it's simple as how many people are interested in watching, the movie, tv-series, sporting event or the math battle(?). And how much people are willing to pay, simple as that. If nobody is willing to watch or pay for it then the athletes and performers would not receive that huge paycheck.

  13. Re:Answer: Money on How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The people that grew up with the moon landings on TV are getting old and replaced by a generation that did not have such great role models. Many of the scientist today were inspired by the astronauts. Today science is not that high profile. We need something like the moon landings to inspire children for a lifetime.
