  1. Michael Powell on FCC Extends Set-Top Box Deadline · · Score: 1

    I know we hate Michael Powell, but have we made up our minds on this guy yet?

    A statement from FCC Commissioner Johnathan Adelstein

  2. Seriously? on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Java, which faces ongoing competition from Web open-source scripting tools, such as PHP

    Is that a joke?

    I mean PHP is great and all, but are there really fortune 500's out there going "you know what lets replace our entire java infrastructure with PHP"?

  3. Already have one... on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1

    Don't they already have a new logo?

  4. Re:FYI...Speed of Light on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make any sense. A body will ALWAYS be at rest relative to itself, right?

  5. FYI...Speed of Light on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s

    or

    ~600 Million MPH
    ~1 Billion KPH

    So this thing is going 1/600 the speed of light. Pretty friggin fast. What is that theory of approaching the speed of light, and is this star doing that?

    Note: I did those conversions on the fly, so back off!

  6. HP Breakup on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 1

    This article suggests that the board was considering breaking up HP. Interesting. It doens't rule out the possibility of a future breakup either.

  7. IPod and IBM on Cloudscape Gains Momentum · · Score: 1

    What do the iPod and IBM have to do with each other again? Remotely maybe the boost in sales of iPods correlates to a boost in Power4/5 Processors for IBM, but only remotely.

    This would have been a much better promotion if IBM had given away a free license for DB2 or something. Think about it, all the companies that want a license for DB2 check out cloudscape and see what it is all about because they want a license for DB2.

  8. Re:It takes so little to be above average,,, on Survey Says Internet Users Confuse Search Results, Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I actually read a study that said 80% believe they are in the top 5% of drivers. I'm convinced that the actual top 5% are not in that 80%. What I mean is that one of the major components of being a good driver is thinking that you are a not so good driver, and KNOWING that everyone around you is just as bad.

  9. Nebraska? Troll -1) on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    New stem cell harvesting was outlawed in the USA by a 2001 Executive Order from President Bush.

    Except in Nebraska! :-)

  10. Holy $h!7, the editors are e-d-i-t-i-n-g on US Stem Cells Contaminated · · Score: 1

    To be precise, stem cell harvesting wasn't outlawed; the usage of federal funding was outlawed. Several states and research institutions have been using their own money to undertake research. The AP coverage is up as well.

    I didn't know they had it in them, thank you Hemos.

  11. Re:It's a FAKE on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since you live in nebraska you got the crappy version of windows. If you had lived anywhere else you would know that 1-2-3 was bundled. Guess you really missed out on the deal.

  12. Warfighters? on US Air Force Building Space Router · · Score: 1

    communications to warfighters

    I knew it, the military has developed deadly bots to hunt down and kill warchalkers.

  13. Drive that SUV into the ground on BBC on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    Most alarmingly, it may have led us to greatly underestimate the greenhouse effect: with particulate pollution being brought under control, a global temperature rise of 10 degrees Celsius by 2100 could be on the cards, rendering many parts of the world uninhabitable.

    So, what you are saying is: Get the biggest friggin car you can find and drive it as much as you can 'cause pollution is the only thing standing between us and a giant heat wave.

    In the words of Nelson, Ha Ha!

  14. Re:Why Nick and not the informant? on Think Secret's Nick dePlume Revealed · · Score: 1

    Is it a criminal offense to vialoate an NDA? Just a civil one right? And then is it illegal to interfere with a civil investigation? IANAL so I don't know. If it is illegal to interfere then is he somehow covered by freedom of the press (Does this cover sources)? I don't know.

  17. We're gonna need all that electricity... on Breakthrough Efficient, Paintable Solar Cells · · Score: 5, Funny

    We are gonna need all that electricity because if the sun is 30% smaller than it was before this thing our heating bills are gonna go way up!

  18. Should Read... on Rational Atlantic Eclipse Based Solutions · · Score: 2, Funny

    from the IBM is giving us a nice reach around for this one department.
    The Rational Marketing Dept writes "The following articles highlight major enhancements to the core Rational software solutions. IBM Rules These solutions, code-named Atlantic, help unify development team members on the open Eclipse framework Everyone Buy Rational Tools and more tightly link business, development, and operations organizations. (Yeah we don't even know what that means)"

  19. Re:Not a great idea. on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 1

    The US had numerous bloody wars to get to the point to where its at. If enough people are against a topic in a country, they need to overthrow the powers that be themselves,

    We would not have won the revolutionary war if we had not help from the French. It took numerous visits to Paris by Ben Fanklin and others to get them to help us. An opressed people cannot overthrow their govt. if they don't get help. Even if that help comes from a source motivated by other things. (Like the french wanting to stick it to the brits.)

  20. From the stuff you can stick on your iPod Article on CES Tidbits · · Score: 1

    According to the company, included software - compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X - will convert any audio, video or image file to a format compatible with the MoviePlayer.

    I call BULLSHIT. But if it can play the shows I get off my TiVo without me having to do any manual conversion, then I'm all in.

    Somehow I think DRM'd files will not work, as well as multitudes of other formats like divx, but who knows, maybe they are really good at this stuff.

    I agree with this guy for the most part, and I say more power to him.

    That said, I think it is funny that almost every comment to this point has been, here come the apple fans to the blind defense of apple.

    NO! I have yet to see one comment saying apple is god. I have seen 100 comments saying apple fanboys are stupid and think apple is god. I think we are pointing fingers at imaginary people. Nobody thinks apple is in the right.

    Move on.

  25. Re:With what money? on Infogrames Could Help Ubisoft vs. EA · · Score: 1

    I happen to have some of their stock in my portfolio (still waiting for it to break even).

    Sell Sell Sell

    I don't know why people do this, waiting for a stock to break even is wasting your money. Why would you hold onto a stock that is slowly climbing when there are others out there that are growing quickly?

    Seriously you are losing money by not getting into a better investment.
