  1. PC Load Liver on Kidney Printer · · Score: 5, Funny

    What the f@(% does that mean?

  2. Re:Biological scientific breakthroughs on Stem Cells Generated From Adult Cells · · Score: 1

    It's the magic of "meteor rocks".

  3. Hotspots? on Austrian Town Sees the Light · · Score: 1

    Why not take the "10 minute walk" to where the sunlight is? They want to create "hotspots", so it's not like this project brings sunlight to poeple's homes. They still have to walk/ride/be carried to a hotspot.

    They're good workers, but will eat more than they're worth.

  5. Re:Commercial ModChips Only on UK High Court Rules Modchips Illegal · · Score: 1

    How does the hobbyist remain safe if "use of PlayStation 2 modification chips is illegal"?

  6. Re:End of the Universe on The Traveling Salesman Problem Meets Starbucks · · Score: 1

    A shopping center about a mile from my house has two in one building!

    One is inside a grocery store. The other is in the corner of the building, about three doors down from the grocery store.

  7. Re: losslessly to half the size of uncompressed CD on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 5, Informative

    No. If you try to compress a wav file with zip, rar, etc., you will get very little compression. There is very little repeated data in a wav file. Looking at a wav file with the knowledge that it is audio, however, allows for decent lossless audio compression.

  8. Re:Instead of going 3x smaller on Virginia Tech Upgrade: PowerMac G5 to Xserve G5 · · Score: 1

    My guess is the cost. The upgrade is supposedly fairly cheap, but 2000 more Xserves would not be so cheap.

  9. Re:People may hate Windows Media Player... on Microsoft Unhappy With HP's iTunes Decision · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my Archos JBR20, too.

    Sounds like Sarcasm Airlines to me.

    Don't you mean Chimera sister?

  12. Re:I'm just old fashioned. on Digital Baseball Umpires · · Score: 1

    What's even more awesome is how you're able to watch a game where snow limits visibilty to 20 ft.

  13. Re:Open source porn on Ogg Theora Alpha 2 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just a friendly reminder, you don't get the bonus karma unless you spell it 'pr0n'.

    I leave a GBA in the bathroom in place of a messy magazine rack.

  16. Re:Freedom 'Bots on Book-Digitizing Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    Isn't Mozart already available in digitized format?

  17. Re:Can they record? on Students Get iPods as Study Aids · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Archos Recorder is another MP3 player that has a recording function. It has a built-in mic, about 10 hours uptime per charge, and the 20GB model can be had for less than $250.

    The interface to a PC is simply a USB HDD, so it can be used with just about any OS, unlike the iPod.

    It doesn't run Linux, but there is an open-source replacement firmware available, Rockbox.
