  1. Staying in the closet. on UCSD Students Tracking Their Friends' Locations · · Score: 1
    From article:
    Maybe students aren't out of the closet and don't want people to know they're going to the Gay & Lesbian Resource Center

    Student 2: Ummm.... I.... I'M NOT GAY!!!
    Student 1: Sure thing.
  2. Re:What's their objective though? on Return of the WaSP · · Score: 2, Informative

    The W3C is here to design standards. They are not here to help web developers create web pages with no compatability issues. That is what WaSP is for. So, yes there is a difference.

  3. Ridiculing on Return of the WaSP · · Score: 4, Funny
    From article:
    ...if that fails, we plan to guilt-trip them. And if that fails, we will ridicule them mercilessly, as we once ridiculed Netscape and Microsoft.
    Wow, they seem to really have a great strategy worked out.
  4. Pronounciation on Artificial Inteligence Common Sense Database · · Score: 3, Funny
    ...develops AI called Cyc, pronouced psych...

    This is just great. Pronunciation keys using silent P's.
  5. Nothing new in Canada on What Free Cable? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about everywhere else, but here it is common knowledge about the free cable with internet. I have cable and cable tv service in my house, and extra outlets cost extra per month, and also, I only pay for 2 of 3 variety packs. I split the internet cable to a tv, and this tv gets all channels without bumping up to digital cable.

  6. Slashdotted on Rocket Guy Getting Closer - But No Firm Launch Date · · Score: 0, Redundant

  10. USB and Win95 on Is Starband's Satellite Internet Service Palatable? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can get support for usb with Win95, as you can get drivers, although limited, that work well. To get more info follow this link.

  11. Re:Boost X-Box Sales? on Microsoft Eyes UK Digital TV Provider · · Score: 1

    If they did use X-BOXes as receivers, Nintendo, Sony, and the like might scream antitrust. Just like it is for distributing various pieces of software with Windows, only this time, MS would get sued by Sony, Nintendo, and the like.

  12. What do we do when.... on Vint Cerf: 'The Internet Is For Everyone' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If only 25% of the then world's population is on the Internet, that will be nearly 3 billion users. With the current Internet Protocol standard, (four period seperated octants), there are only 4228250625 possible IP addresses. In addition to this, many are invalid for use on the Internet, as they are for local networks or use (172.XXX.XXX.XXX, etc) What happens when we end up running out of addresses? Just something to think about.
