  1. Clearly Illegal? on FCC Allows Mix-and-Match Wi-Fi Antennas · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How is it clearly illegal? I didn't know it was illegal to use your own attenas? Was it illegal to put a coat hanger on a walkee talkee with a broken antenna?

    Because proper tea is theft!

  3. Re:You think that's bad? on eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a link to an article about a guy who sent a pipe bomb through the mail that killed a 17 year old kid and maimed his mom. He sent it because the kid ripped him off in a sale of a radio arranged on the internet. The guy got the death penalty.

  11. Re:Macromedia's great asset on Macromedia: More FUD About SVG · · Score: 1

    Nothing beats a great product naming scheme for grabbing mindshare. Today they launch Flash Lite, but they still have the following absolutely smashing names at their disposal:

    - Flash Flood
    - Flash Gordon
    - Flash Card ...


    And hopefully: Flash in the Pan

  12. "debunks Macromedia's marketing lies" on Macromedia: More FUD About SVG · · Score: 4, Funny

    Lies filled with bunk are the worst lies of all.

  13. Re:Bibliography on The BookMachine: On-Demand Book Printing in 3-5 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Do you cite that it was published a couple of days ago at the back of someone's tour bus?

    I think you are confusing publish date with print date.

  14. Re:I guess I was wrong... on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 1

    You don't seriously think that "Longhorn" is anything other than a code-name, do you?

    It just means it's going to be as big as Texas and just as ornery.

  15. In addition to the Justice Department on US Government Keeping Close Eye on Longhorn · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should put the Department of Homeland Security on it too. You know, for securities sake.

    Ok. How is a question informative? Or is the fact that Rezonant has never used an RSS reader informative? Here's a +5 Informative for you: I haven't used an RSS reader either.

    Those assassination threats are real. Be sure to do as you are told.

  18. Re:What's the outcome of all of this? on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons · · Score: 1, Funny

    After billions spend, what does this really teaches us?

    If you're going to talk like Yoda, do it right: "After billions spend, teach us what does this?"

  19. Why is it surprising? on Mars Had Surface Water for Eons · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If Mars had water, why would it not have it for a long time?

  23. From Earth to the Moon on Apollo 11's 35th Anniversary · · Score: 5, Informative

    For anyone who has HBO and hasn't seen it, there is a twelve part 'docudrama' on HBO called "From Earth to the Moon". It covers the all the Apollo missions and is absolutely fascinating. It is available now if you have On Demand.

  24. I'm sorry but on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: -1, Troll

    the previews make it look like a typical Wil Smith movie which, in my opinion, are usually terrible.
