  1. municipal broadband projects . a short list. on Why Municipal Broadband is Good · · Score: 1
  2. They will all become lawyers on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1
    Now they will all become lawyers to sue those CEO's and wallstreet investment banks that created the dotcom bubble .

    and then become canibals and sue each other to death completing the cycle.

  3. Apple vector processing graphics cards on PPC 970 Confirmed for Apple? · · Score: 1

    If Apple would upgrade its graphics card to something more professional rather than a consumber ATI card to something much more powerful to take processing away from the chip to the card then it could help its graphic benchmarks. The article 2 days ago on Slashdot about the new video cards was very interesting about their ability to do more than process graphics. The General processors on most chips are not that great for graphics. Since apple uses simd so much then why not use a some affordable chip and a KILLER Graphics Card that can handle some of the math too. just a thought.

  4. DragonBall Z would have been better on Evangelion Live Action Movie · · Score: 1

    Too bad. No one heard of NEON ,on the other hand everyone knows of the DBZ series. A computer 3d series of that would have been penultimate cool. Someone mentioned a hollywood co. bought the rights for DBZ.

    /. Article reviewers take heed or i will out you.

    Getting rid of xul(xml user interface language) would be good for responsive gui.

  7. Read the article Dummy. These are not AVERAGE gpu on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    Read the article again and look for the page that says "non traditional uses". You will find that these graphic processors are programmable vector processors that are excellent at mathematical operations.Also look at the uses of gpu by Colorado university and their attempt to break linpack record. We don't need Intel/Amd anymore!

    news article . BEA is.

  9. I only have a Pentium II 266mhz and 32 megs on Java Performance Urban Legends · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes it sucks to run java but no one uses java applets anymore. The killer app is java server side ecommerce. It's beating Microsoft so we should like it!

    sounds good to me.

    Yah, like it. Damn nice. Back button is quick for my old computer. Like the image controls . very nice. Don't care for Flash ads or java applets.

    They need to slim it down some more. Get rid of XUL if possible.

  12. Sounds good on NASA Report Advocates Switch to Open Source · · Score: -1, Troll
    I would like all federal and state governments to switch.

    Also time for Nasa to switch to a NEW rocket and ditch the shuttle. THis would also be good for the economy. X11 needs to be brought back to life.

  14. Why not just drill instead of NUKE ? on Falling to Earth's Core in a Big Blob of Iron · · Score: 1
    Just drill near a volcanic area. Maybe use a laser . Regular method of drilling would work.

    A better reason to drill into the earth is for energy !

  16. Way too slow to roll out. Don't buy DVHS on Blue-Laser DVD Formats Wars · · Score: 1
    Now you have to wait. I thought dvhs was going to sell but not now.

    Is anyone else wondering what happened to American inovation? Is a blue recordable DVD player that hard to come up with ? I know that the guys at www.inphase.com have holographic storage working but i don't hear much about it .

    this country has sold all its electronics businesses and now waits for DATED japanese technology. This blue DVD player is nothing revolutionary.

  18. Spiderman was a DATE movie . Not action film. on The Hiring, Firing and Re-Hiring of Spider-Man · · Score: 1
    Phoney lovestories don't make good action movies.

    The spiderman movie had 'targetted demographics' to get women to go to the movie. I would bet private screenings for women to see if they liked the movie and if they didn't some script changes. Maybe.

    They actually do that.

    Where is your leadership. Tom's Hardware is taking you to task ! You guys should have quaded that bus up the same way intel does.

    AMD is going downhill according to this article at TOMS.

  20. MATRIX , Does it ripoff DARK CITY and other movie on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 1
    Does Matrix ripoff other movies like DarkCity ? Darkcity sets were used in Matrix. Rent Darkcity to see what i am talking about. Darkcity came out 1 year before Matrix in 97 so i am going to assume YES is the answer.

    The Wajahowski brothers(can't spell names) also took some visuals from
    Dragonballz(look at the twins when they power up) also look at NEO flying. Dragonballz is everywhere in this film.

  21. Re:Wireless ! But where is wireless internet acces on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 1
    they did but i think they went out of business.

    Wireless may be the only way in the states because of costs of laying fiber.

  22. Wireless ! But where is wireless internet access? on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Because of the cable and phone monopolies we can't get shit done.

    Fiber to the home is too expensive.

    Why not dishes from our houses to a main receiving dish. Much like satellite setups. Don't understand why this is taking so long.

  23. IBM mainframes have this 'UNDO' circuitry on Self-Repairing Computers · · Score: 1

    If i am not mistaken , I read somewhere IBM is using this in their mainframe processors . Sounds good but do you want faster computer chip or more safety features? The quandry.

  24. Government IDIOTS . Your Microsoft hipocrocy. on DRAM Price Fixing · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Quote from article about the memory monopoly -

    Dell Computer Corp. chairman Michael Dell has publicly voiced his displeasure at excessive consolidation in the DRAM business, which has 40 percent fewer players now than in the mid-1990s. And Dell has voted with his checkbook: In early June Dell Computer and Taiwan's Nanya signed a five-year agreement that calls on Nanya to supply up to $3 billion worth of DRAM modules to Dell.

    Yeah, we really need to worry about those mem prices , because they are killer when buying a computer or gadget. Wrong. Get the real monopolist as in Microsoft. Put sanctions on this company and tell OEM(manufacturers) to drop all OS tie-ins and make people buy their software off shelves. Then we will see how much people love microsoft.
