  1. Re:looks could kill on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 1

    There *might* be some sound quality levels between music mixed with hard drive noise and a professional studio. Personally, I hate computer noises. The drench out so many frequencies.

  2. Programs with hidden agendas on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 1

    I think its disturbing that more and more programs are having spyware, trojans etc, and no one seems to care more than being a bit upset. Shouldn't these things be illegal, or what? I mean, would people think it's OK if their new car drove around by itself nightly, running over innocent pedestrians? (Think of all the gas lost).

  3. Re:news.com.COM on CEO of Brilliant Defends Sneaky Installation Practices · · Score: 1

    news.com.com is the same as news.com, as well as zdnet.com.com is the same as zdnet.com. Probably a grand scheme to confuse the poor web surfers of the world.

  4. Re:looks could kill on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I missed that one. But still, it says that it makes "very little hard disk noise", not "no noise at all". Even a noise that is barely audible can disturb music (in my opinion anyway). I'm no expert in acoustics, but I think some high frequencies are interfered by typical hard disk noise. Does anyone know?

  5. Re:looks could kill on Linux-based Digital Audio Player with Ogg · · Score: 1

    Also, the article doesn't say if the device will make a lot (any?) noise. If it is a computer (it sure looks like one), it will probably make noise, which would really disturb the music.

  6. Re:our own money? on Feds Cracking the Whip on Spammers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, this is controversial as the spammers reach far outside the U.S. If they are hindered, then the FTC does the rest of the world a favour -- a favour entirely payed by the U.S. tax payers.

  7. Finally on Feds Cracking the Whip on Spammers · · Score: 0

    I sure hope they'll go after the spammers in the EU as well.

  8. Re:How dose he know? on Earth to...Earth? Are you there? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What would you expect from a person whose last name sounds suspiciously like a bottle of cheap wine?

  9. Movies out of games on Sci-Fiction Channel To Do Myst Miniseries · · Score: 1

    The first movie made out of a game (that I know of), was Robocop 3, and it certainly set a trend. (It sucked, badly). Anyway, I'm not certain that a mini series (or movie) could caputre the spooky, still image, all-alone-in-a-strange-world feeling that is Myst.
