  1. I wonder what happens... on AOL: Amazon Who? · · Score: 1

    When you put these discs into a microwave.

  2. Wow! on CD Burners with Built in Compression · · Score: -1, Redundant

    "...but its ability to encrypt the contents of burned data CDs and squeeze nearly a Gigabyte of data onto a 700MB disc is what sets it apart from other high-speed burners.

    YES! I can finally fit more porn onto my CD-R's!

  3. Mmmm... buffet. on IP Shortage In Asia Just Myth, Says APNIC · · Score: 1

    Wilson cites several reasons for the birth of the myth of the IP address shortage and the related idea that Asia is a latecomer to the IP address buffet.
    I always thought of IP addresses as 'served' by waiters, not chosen from a smorgasboard by the people themselves.

  4. Them are some graphics, eh? on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 3, Funny

    For video, the GeForce FX5200 is standard on low-end models, Radeon 9600 Pro on high-end models. Canadian bias!

  5. Is it really necessary... on Mozilla 1.4RC2 Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are we still posting about every RC along the way? Granted, Mozilla is a great browser, possibly the best out there right now, but this version is just that: a release candidate. I don't see any reason why we need a story about every RCx that comes out... sure, the final release of 1.4, absolutely; but, until then, leave it to people that check the nightly release folder or the Mozilla start page.

  6. Hmm... on Palm OS Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this would be compatible with Bluetooth for an even more personal area network.

  7. Whoever wrote this... on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 1

    Has obviously seen Office Space. I think that's an exact quote from Michael Bolton to the two people restructuring the company. A great movie, and computers definitely can replace office paper, besides the necessary printing paper. A catch-22?

  8. Yet MS... on Is Online Privacy Getting Better? · · Score: 1

    Monitors what things you watch/listen to in their newest version of Windows Media Player. These stats might be true for smaller sites, but giants such as MS are still collecting information.

  9. 1 down... on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 2

    1 down, 39,000 more illegal DVD burning rings to go. Aw, well, it was worth the effort. Face it, trying to shut down these things is as pointless as trying to stop music piraters.

  10. Re:Right on time on Ikeya-Zhang Now Visible · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, Snopes (http://www.snopes2.com) dispels that rumor in fashion. Claim: A 1654 Nostradamus prediction said World War III would begin with the fall of "two brothers," a reference to the destroyed World Trade Center towers. Status: False. A similar quote is: "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb, The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" Nostradamus 1654 The quote has been modified and sent in chain letter fashion across the internet, but Nostradamus cannot claim credit for it. A college student made up the quote in 1997, in order to show how prophecies can be applied to almost any given situation. Anyways, the Snopes article is a great read on this exact quote, under 'Rumors of War'. Hell, the exact webpage is http://www.snopes2.com/rumors/predict.htm.
