  1. Digital magic on Jack Valenti: The Exit Interview · · Score: 1
    Where did this backup copy thing come from? A digital thing lasts forever.

    A digital "thing"? What the hell is that?
    Digital data can be stored on any kind of media. Does the data make the media invincible?
    I think not.

  2. Hah. on Tour De France Showcases Multitude Of Tech · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, this proves that anyone using the latest cool tech stuff is just trying to make up for something missing in their pants. One day I'll throw out this type-writer and get a computer.

  3. For computers on In The Works: Windows For Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should consider making it useable for ordinary computers first. That whole slither before you can crawl thing.

  4. The ultimate question on IBM & CERN openlab for DataGrid Applications · · Score: 5, Funny
    some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of matter and the Universe.

    I'll save them the effort.

    42.

  5. spammers on Michigan First With A Law That Could Outlaw VPNs · · Score: 2
    Taking it to the extreme, this means that spammers could sue you now.

    Hey, we didn't know Blob Slob had that e-mail address, and we sure as hell didn't mean to make him that penis enlargement offer!

    Another step in the right direction.(not)

  6. Tomorrow? on First Certified DivX/DVD Player Released · · Score: 1
    They are supposed to be able to playback ALL versions of DivX content and digital rights management.

    Shouldn't that read all current versions???

  7. Switching to Linux on Fujitsu To Ship Linux Powered Robot in July · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is good news for companies and institutions that consider switching their desktops to Linux.
    The robot would visit each room in the office, tell the occupant that it's about to switch his os, and then plug itself in the computer and start uploading Linux. After the upload is complete the robot could stick around to answer questions and teach the use of Linux.

  8. Re:Future market on the horizon on Permanet vs. Nearlynet · · Score: 1
    Internet is not the same thing as permanet. At least quote right.

    What I'm talking about is the stress that comes as a result of always being connected to other people shomehow, via phone lines, radio, internet, etc.

  9. Re:the problem with wireless networking on Permanet vs. Nearlynet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Aiming something like this on business users alone might be difficult, but I'm sure that it doesn't matter much to any company if an important call costs $5 or $100. If it can't wait a few hours, maybe it's just not that important?

  10. Future market on the horizon on Permanet vs. Nearlynet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When the permanet is a reality everywhere, the real profit will be in selling devices that disconnect or shield you from the nets. Kind of like sunblock.

  11. CVS on Eclipse 2.1 Released · · Score: 1
    While refactoring with Eclipse is vastly superior to manual refactoring I think the biggest advantage is the overview of and easy access to the cvs repository it offers.

    However, I've been having problems with disappearing cvs log messages using Eclipse.
    Perhaps this has been fixed in this release?

  12. Re:Is 5 million a lot ? on MMORPG: Money, Money, Money · · Score: 1

    Perhaps 5 million isn't all too impressive. But if you compare an online pay to play game to a regular single player game there is the little difference that people who play online games pay money over and over to keep playing unlike s/p games that will only force the player to pay a one-time amount.

  13. The most important thing on Video Over IP Permits South Pole Surgery · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now the surgeon can scratch his ass as much as he likes during surgery without having to wash his hands and change gloves.

  14. Imagine the applications on OpenGL Coming to your Cellphone · · Score: 1

    GPS and 3D-models of building sound great but somehow I believe that we'll only get yet another excuse to pay a months wage for a thing we can play games on.
