  1. But.. on Dell Handhelds Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    But what's that red thing on the left topside? Some sort of redtooth antenna?

  2. MathML? on Open Fonts For The Web -- Harder Than It Sounds · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ehhm

    I might be a bit stupid here, but wasn't math-font-problem why the w3c came up with MathML?

    Why not simply use that?

  3. Re:Sounds impressive on Linux Chosen for IBM's New Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Actually, they are not DX, but SX.

  4. Probably mentioned before, but.... on Direct Marketers Association Asks To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    Probably mentioned before, but what if that same law also made it obligatory (sp?) that all spam should have an "x-spam" in the header or "SPAM:" as the first 5 characters of the subject line? (or both)

    That way a lot of ISP would probably turn on 'spam-protection' by default, or make it very easy for their subscribers to do so themselves.

    And yes, I know this does nothing against the chinese spammers selling viagra, but it is a start.

  5. TV card on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    When your target audience has a TV card in their computer, be sure to include dscaler

    It is a neat program that takes away those ugly interlace lines you can see while watching moving pictures. Only drawback is that it is Windows only and needs a 400MHz+ x86

  6. Re:big deal on Running 100,000 Parallel Threads · · Score: 1
    That comment was definitively posted as a joke.

    I even wonder who would consider it flamebait...

  7. big deal on Running 100,000 Parallel Threads · · Score: 4, Funny

    100.000 threads? What nonsense; everybody knows that no computer would ever use more than 640.

  8. And of course the headphones... on Fighting Music Piracy with Glue · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...would just have to be glued to your ears to prevent someone else from listening to it.

  9. Re:Final Scratch is actually... on Digital DJ Turntable · · Score: 1

    While the Pioneer CDJ1000 is a truly marvelous tool for a DJ, one thing it cannot do is store wave (.WAV) data from a CD to an SD card; what it can do is analyze the music on a CD and give a visual representation of it on a little display. This is to enable a CD to look at the 'grooves' on a CD just like on vinyl. This display is called the wave display. In order to speed this thing up the CDJ1000 can store this data internally and/or on an SD. Pioneer does have another player, which can in fact play .WAV type data from an SD, an can be controlled from a PC or standalone.

  10. Re:what about the environment? on Microsoft Freon · · Score: 1

    And probably cause BSORBs (Blue Skies Of Radiation Burns).

  11. Re:This could be a disaster on AOL Beta Testing Gecko-Based Browser · · Score: 1

    A disaster? not imho not very probable. As another poster mentioned before: after years of Windows crashing on them users see a broken site and just move along to another site. And when some manager of one of those broken sites sees the page-view numbers go down the drain (-34 million is bound to have some inpact), he will probably take action. Besides, it would be interesting to know how many AOL readers visit pages outside the 'mainstream' web-sites, as those sites are afaik 'alternative-browser' friendly. Even MS these days!
