  1. Re:I wonder.. on Amazon & Used Books II: Bezos Strikes Back · · Score: 2, Insightful

    already has a used book link offer up

    Just because there is a link doesn't mean there are enough used copies to satisfy everybody that wants to buy the book.

    For there to be used copies, there has to be sellers.

    And if it's a new book, sellers are likely to be outnumbered by buyers.

  2. Re:TV Series on 11 Things About Spider-Man · · Score: 1

    Could it maybe be that Spiderman was part of the trio himself?

    yes

  3. Time dependency? on 11 Things About Spider-Man · · Score: 5, Insightful
    What would happen if they had computer generated Times Square instead of filming it live.

    What ads would they have to place there?
    • displayed at the time the location was being written.?
    • The ones displayed when it was being rendered?
    • When the file was being shown?
    • etc.


    A photograph or film has a longer lifetime than an advertisment ... the owners of the billboards cannot expect the film to always accurately represent the location, so taking to the argument further, why should they expect it to ever accurately represent the location?

    protecting people from digital surveillance

    And ... the people are surveiling themselves ... they made the decision to install the cameras in their house and broadcast the results to the world.

  6. Complain on FCC Reinstates CALEA Surveillance Capabilities · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd phone my congressman and senator to complain but I, errr, don't want to.

  7. So how do I sue? on Japan Passes Anti-spam Law · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As an Englishman living in America, how do I sue a Japanese spammer? Seriously?

  8. Final result on Abit's New Motherboard Lays On The Ports · · Score: 1
    • Abit's choice of onboard audio is questionable
    • Extremely high priced
    Final Score - 98%!


    So you need a second mortgage and a new sound card ... but it is still practically perfect?

  9. Give up? on Microsoft Gives Up on Hailstorm · · Score: 1


    Nah. There's lots of things in hailstorm that can be repackaged, reused, remarketed, etc.

    Messaging - MS aren't going to give up on that.
    Passport and wallet - MS will keep them less integrated for a while and pop them in somewhere else.
    Directory services - this can be repackaged in a vendor neutral way.
