  1. Joe Byrd? on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't get worried about like 5 downloads. Who'd want that?

  2. It's Default on Web Services · · Score: 1

    They want a hip name that makes it sounds like they're actually doing something. They really don't know what it means either. They just want to look good and hi-tech.

  3. Re:Cloudy Days? =No Power? on Lunar Power · · Score: 1

    You ever notice how you still can see during cloudy days? A signifigant amount of sunlight breaks through the clouds in many ways... So you'd be able to get some power.. but Solar batteries store energy that they don't use. So basically, you'd survive... just don't leave the refridgerator door open on a cloudy day.

  4. Re:Permission on Lunar Power · · Score: 1

    No, it was never really claiming it as our tangible country. Nobody owns the moon.

  5. Why? on Lunar Power · · Score: 1

    So the moon has a percentage of the sun's energy, and if we harness a percentage then we'll be good... Why not just go to the big source first?

    Also most ground based solar reciptors have been recieving this energy for years, just not really taking much notice of it. We use all of our resources we won't waste. Doesn't seem like news to me.

  6. Hmmm... on Charmed Announces Crusoe-based Linux Wearable · · Score: 1

    Well... first of all, it causes a lot of problems when it rains and you don't have an umbrella.
    However, it is perfect for 802.11b hunting!

  7. Apple/Devil on Apple Deals with Devil, Communists · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, Apple did have a well-publicized dealing with the Church of Satan. They had a "Made with Macintosh" logo on their homepage, and they had a b/w pic of their founder with "Think DIfferent" next to him. The kicker? They were (obviously) against those things. They demanded the removal of such things. The CoSatan, being the dissenters they are, naturally didn't remove them.

  8. Lies, all lies! on Gates Testifies in Antitrust Suit · · Score: 1

    Gates nows you can add an API to a browser, and he's saying otherwise. He's a born liar. He says the Windows OS will be set back 10 years by a negative ruling... would that make it 17 years behind Mac OS X?

  9. No Quarters on History of Video Games Exhibit · · Score: 1

    These are DOLLAR machines!

  10. Dang on History of Video Games Exhibit · · Score: 1

    The Euros get all the cool exhibits, all we get is the some ancient pottery ever so often.

  11. Re:Just awful on Google vs. DMCA and Scientology · · Score: 1

    The system was built for military communications, yes, but the new net, the web, the spirit of the net is built on free speech.

  12. Hmmmm on Google vs. DMCA and Scientology · · Score: 1

    Unless Google misspelled "Scientologists" as "Earth Day" that link ins't that prominent

  13. Just awful on Google vs. DMCA and Scientology · · Score: 5, Insightful

    God Forbid that Google should accurately reflect what's on the internet. People should attack sites if they have a problem, not take other user's right to find the page away from them. This impedes everyone from having an idea of free speech on which the internet was built on. Awful.

  14. Bible on Zope Bible · · Score: 1

    The name 'Bible' is condescending. It implies that the book is the be-all, end-all. Why can't it be a 'tome' or "big f'n guide to zope"? I like Python as much as the rest of you, but why is every big book a 'Bible'?

  15. Re:Enron-itis? on Salon On Computer Forensics · · Score: 1

    "Atrophy of the Enron" isn't quite trendy and layman enough.
