  2. Cornerstone? on Google Disappears In China · · Score: 0

    You can't be serious. Rankings on google can be bought for a fee....what kind of societly cornerstone are you worshiping that's made of USD? Don't be such a chicken little.

  3. Re:Conflicting Results.... on Google Disappears In China · · Score: 0

    That site is not to be trusted (unreliable)...if you want to know, ask someone inside China to test for you.

  4. Propoganda on Google Disappears In China · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Webster's defines propoganda as: "Any widespread promotion of particular ideas" -

    I'd say since a ranking on google can be bought for a fee, it's as much propoganda as any other source from any other country. Why should China buy into yet another western myth? MS splashscreens the hell out of their OS, and no one complains about that version of mind control. Western TV floods the airwaves with photos of paper-thin models, denouncing fat as the enemy. Why should a country that decides to curtail such hype be chastised? China will get along just fine by their own motives and choices. Any westerner that thinks they live a better life in terms of freedom of thought should look closer at the layout of their favorite daily newspaper.

    In Korea, we work 16 hrs avg. and six days a week minimum. Want some cheese with that whine?

    But if you _do_ have a DVD burner, you don't need this article. Many of us do, and that's why this article seems to weak.

  7. Re:Burning DVDs is not THAT expensive on Burn a DVD-AC3 Compatible CD-R · · Score: 0

    The goal of the so called article is to push sales of outdated plug-ins. Note they stopped updates of their mac related stuf....they know that their tools are not really that advanced in light of being able to make DVD's easily.

    No shit.... "Gee...this looks like a munition...wonder if I should ask my friend bubba if it's dangerous or not?" ...once again, stupidity is passed off as editorial content, when it's really just an excuse to push pixels.

  11. FCC says on Starbucks Clashes With WiFi Hobbyists Over Airwaves · · Score: 1

    ... that if you use the frequency indoors and don't bleed out, you can do whatever you want with it. All SB has to do is deny that their wireless signal works beyond the front door. I know...I know...it will bleed, but SB doesn't have to take responsibility for that, now do they. Look for this to be brought up during the sure-to-be-held hearings.

  12. There isn't any...other than ad revenue on Gone Fission · · Score: 1

    You're operating under the assumption that submissions are reviewed. That's clearly hogwash. Worm stories may satisfy a juvenile urge to talk about things that squirm, but as you point out, they aren't that interesting and are obviously filler to get us to load the ads and up the counts.

    Submissions are apparently only used as a source of amusement. The so-called 'editors' use a dartboard to decide what makes it on the main page....that and a 'good old boy' network which, like most cliques, operates behind the scenes in a smoke filled room.

    Importing? They get sucked into the ballast tanks of freighters from other countries, and then deposited into SF Bay when they dump the bilge for the return trip. Importing is the least of your worries. Hundreds of species of crab, worm, snail, insect, etc. arrive every year without the help of importers. You want to worry about it, check out the bay.

    One SKU, while making sense, doesn't allow the marketing wonks to track targeted (mac vs. win) users very well, now does it? Separate SKU's/packaging also give a warm fuzzy to dimwitted windows users looking in from the sidewalk.

    ...the password was selected as to be easy enough to discern in the event of death.... After all, these are not state secrets we are talking about, now are they. A password was obliged and enabled, that's the simple driver. Beyond that, not much was to be gained by making it cryptic.
