  1. yeah! a9= a(si)nine on Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Is it only me who immediately read a9 as short for asinine?

  2. Re:Congress Shoud Vote For More Bandwith! on FCC to Reorganize 800mhz Band? · · Score: 2, Funny

    We already have that! Bandwidth in Imaginary numbers already exists. You only need imaginary cellphones to use it!

  3. Re:Not so easy? on Searching by Shape... · · Score: 4, Informative

    Did u RTFA?
    You dont draw with your mouse to search. You select from a bunch of pics for something that matches what you are looking for. The system keeps narrowing your search down to fewer and fewer parts till you are satisfied with a result.

  4. Patented stuff in Linux on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    Tell me guys, what happens if someone releases code that is patented under GNU?
    Is it illegal to do so? Or is it something like the SCO thing... the end user is liable to pay the patent holder?

  5. Reminds me of de Sade on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 1

    Whenver I read of anyone trying to get something banned, I am always reminded of the plight of Marquis de Sade. He published his works only to get them banned. Napolean had he sent to prison for his views! His heirs had his unpublished works burnt.
    The ban on his works wasn't lifted till the middle of the 20th century in most countries.

    So can we consider this banning thing something to do with the fact that we are not yet advanced/mature/whatever enough to accept what these cannibal/necrophila websites have to say? Maybe sometime in the future they will be perfectly acceptable topics of discussion to a more enlightened society?

  6. This tech is a hoax on The Incredible Shrinking Antenna · · Score: 1

    My phone manual clearly states "Avoid touching the antenna!" So are we supposed to stop touching the entire phone? I think the new technology is preposterous ... we could always have had internal metal strips in the casing as antennas, we dont need some stupid plastic material to turn the case into an antenna! This new technology is a hoax.
