  1. Live TV on How Could TV Survive Without Commercials? · · Score: 0

    Tivo, etc. can'r strip adds aout of live TV which is what most people watch anyway. Revenue won't decreace just b/c of the small fraction of people who will set the thing, wait fot the show to finish, and then watch it. Its just not enough people.

  3. Re:wow on Mandrake to Come Preloaded on Wal-Mart PCs · · Score: 0

    in a country that claims to be free of GOVERNEMNT sencorship. If the buyer (Walmart) doesn't like the product, they don't have to buy it. If you are selling to someone that big and they want something, you givve them that. Its buisness, not censorship. Cesnorship would mean that comnpanies had to change the covers. Guess what, they don't. Since they want to make money they do what the customer wants.

    Were not any more coprrupt that other countries. We're just more expensive then the 3rd world.

  5. Re:Micron Hasn't hurt prices? What are you smoking on Government Brings Antitrust Actions Against Rambus, Micron · · Score: 0

    1) Tarrifs are supposed to protect our buisnesses. 2) The US is not a good environment for a manufacturor. If there aren't tarrifs our manufacturors are fucked b/c of the governments laws. Employee benifits, minimum wage, etc. Why do you think so many companies go overseas for manufacturing? Even 'american' comapnies do much manufacturing in other countreis. (Ford in Mexico, etc.) If American companies want to be competitive we need tarriffs.

  6. Opera on AP reports on renewed "Browser War" · · Score: 0

    I use opera on all platforms. Its just that much better. Its much faster than Galeon. It si about the same speed as IE (damn fast on DSL), but has gestures. No more wishing i cpould affor a 16 button mouse for easy browseing. just |_> and bye bye popup. If only its anti-poput technology would allow links. I can't use it since most sites i goto link in new windows, and i want to see tha pages.

  7. Prototype on First Maglev Installation Going Up · · Score: 0

    It doesn;t have room to get that fast. It is capable of going 300, but doesn't have the room. Can your car go 100mph down yor driveway? No. Same princiaple.

  8. It works fine on Are Written Computer Science Exams a Fair Measure? · · Score: 0

    My only experiance is AP computer which is a joke. We have written tests which are write a function to do this and this and write a bigger function that uses the first two. Usually 2 of these per test. They don't check stuff the debuggger catches (semicolons, etc.). All that matters is does it work and is it efficiant. If so, full points. IMO, this is a good check. If you can't do this a debugger won't help. You'll just be starting at garbage wondering what the fuck happened.

    Oh, right, I forgot that the courts can be depended on to be wise and fair. No, but they can be depended on to make bribing as confudsing as possible.

  13. Re:why so keen on earth-sized? on Planetary System Similar to Sol · · Score: 1

    1) if the planet isn't earth sized. We can't go there. We'd vbe squished. 2) If its a gas planet i can't imagine anything particurally interesting anyway. No civilization without fire. No fire withouit something to put it in. I guess moons of these giants may work, but wouldn't the planet cause a damn harsh climate. Defiantly not a vacation spot.

    Don't delete it; move it to the server. You'll get canned if you delete their files. But moving them wil have the same effect.

    Don't copy the files. Move them. The (l)users that don't use the server will finally get sick of having to find their docs each morning. Better, do it during the day as well.
