  1. Gmail for me is better.... on Yahoo! Mail Beta Goes Public · · Score: 1
    The ads on gmail are small and out of the way where as with Yahoo they are BIG, loud and graphic intensive.

    1GB of storage vs 2.5+GB that Gmail offers is far better for Gmail.

  2. If you do not like it. on Comcast Blocks Yet Another ISPs E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Do not pay Comcast any money and move your ISP to another provider.

  3. So does this mean... on The Next Round in the Virtualization Wars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If I buy a five user licence for Vista I can have up to 20 virtual machines on a single system and still be legal?

  4. FARTS.. on Practical Applications of Smell Recordings · · Score: 2, Funny

    With a device like that you could record and leave the stinkiest farts around and play great pratical jokes.

  5. Yes MMORPG do do that. on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: 1

    I have noticed that me personally have gone from buying 2-3 games a month to 2-3 a year sence I have been playing MMORPG's as I do not have the time to play the standalone games that are so static in most cases. This has been going on for me for almost a decade (started in 1998 with UO)and I do not see this trend changing anytime soon for me.

  6. Nice socal engineering. on Social Engineering Using USB Drives · · Score: 2, Insightful

    However it is simply solved by disabling the USB ports either physically or via the registery which they should have been in the first place.

  7. Go Joe!!!! on New Personal Mono-Wing · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the wing packs that the GI Joe's used to use in the cartoons.

  8. No it will not destroy the internet... on Will World Cup Streaming Cause Internet Meltdown? · · Score: 1

    Yes there are segments that will be affected and the servers that are streaming may have issues but the internet as a whole will be uneffected.

  9. This sounds like... on Mob Rule on China's Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mob metality at it's worst. This type of thing goes too far where we are letting the mob dictate morality

  10. Re:Like Clockwork on WA Law: 5 Years in Prison for Gambling Online · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Actually SC is way ahead of you there. Htere they are going for the death penalty.

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060531/ap_on_re_us/se x_offenders_death

    Darn election years.

  11. Here is some comments from them... on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 1

    http://wiredfire.org/index.php?q=node/63 Who knows what will happen I just hope that it comes back up soon

  12. Google does pay.... on Verizon Threatens Google's 'Free Lunch' · · Score: 1

    Both Google and the end user pays for the internet. Google pays for thier end for the bandwidth that they use and the size of pipes that they need to have and on the other end you have the consumer that pays for thier connection. Now Verizon should if it wants to get more money charge more for the bandwidth that it sells to the ISP's that connect directly to it and it's own customers but to pick on a compay that may be three or four hops away and expect them to pay is crazy. This would be like SBC charging for a phonecall that started in Mexico and the other end was Verizon's customer just becouse a portion of the phonecall's routing touched thier network.

  13. Simple solution.... on iTunes is Malware? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I always assumed that iTunes did this. If you do not like apple having any of your data do not do business with them at all.

  14. It is about time on BlackBox Voting Tests California Diebold Machines · · Score: 1

    Some one has to get these people in line

  15. Re:What ya need is... on IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees · · Score: 1

    That is not a bad idea. I know I have no fashion sense and therfor stick to dark blue/black slacks and a grey or light blue shirt. I personally hate the colors of the clothes but the look ok together in almost any combination.

  16. I can not wait.... on Mad Scientist Invents Colored Bubbles · · Score: 1

    I would love to have these colored bubbles. This is such a neat idea.

  17. Ugly logo... on FreeBSD Logo Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    damn red ball with two points comming out of it. Personally I loved the little deamon that they had before.

  18. No not anti-science.... on Is The U.S. Becoming Anti-Science? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    just anti-education. There is a following in the right wing of the USA politics that goes to something of the effect that if it is not in the bible then it is not true and right now those nuts run the country.

  19. This line says it all... on Roadkill on the Convergence Highway · · Score: 4, Funny

    That is the final curse of Media Center. Even if it worked, it would still be Windows .

  20. Re:Why is it Google's problem to fix? on Google-NASA Partnership Backlash · · Score: 1

    Look at it this way if Prop 13 was ever repealed then alot of people could never afford to live in Califonia that have owned thier homes for 20+ years. What government needs to learn how to di is curb it's spending and put itself on a budget just like any household in the country.

  21. In other words on FCC Giving Veto Power to FBI Over VoIP? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Encryption is bad for people who want to spy on you

    The new Yahoo mail is ugly and looks bloated give me a nice pine view any day of the week.

  24. Re:For all those that can't reproduce on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 1

    No crash with Mozilla 1.5B on my Solaris system Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030901

  25. The key is response time.... on What is Responsible Disclosure for Security Flaws? · · Score: 1

    Let the manufacture know of the issue but if the issue is not patched within a week let the world know of the issue but not the exact details simular to what this guy did and if it still has not been patchedwithin a second week then let the world know the full details so that we can protect ourselves from the issues. I would expect this from both open and closed source software.
