  1. A bad call on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 0

    No, I totally disagree with the move they're making. There are already too many people who have downloaded music; tracking down each and every one of them would be slow and inefficent. While they go after one, another will be out downloading a song. Really the dumbest move they've made yet... ...wait, dumb move regarding stopping downloading of music! Go with it!

  2. What a relief on Serial ATA and AGP 8X motherboards · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Smaller cables? HALLELUJAH! I hate having to dig through my computer like it was some sort of ancient miniature pyramid to find which cable goes where. It's so damn time consuming... hopefully, this will be the start of much smaller and more organized cables.

    Oh, and by the way, first post. Whoo.

  3. Did it ever fade out? on XML and Java, Developing Web Applications · · Score: 0, Troll

    "...to show just how much of a heavy-hitter Java still is in the enterprise world."

    For me,I don't really need a book to convince me that Java is still a heavy-hitter. It has always been one the major languages to me; it was just two or three years ago that the thing actually had it's own comic book (JAVAMAN! Saving the day from bugs and viruses!).

  4. About the distance... on Alternative Wireless Broadband for your Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Depending on the price, a 2-mile radius may or may not exactly be the greatest thing in the world.

  5. New technology is cool. on Star Wars-like Holograms · · Score: 1

    Aw, you mean that last sentence prevents me from making an actual witty remark about pr0n? ...Well, actually, few remarks about pr0n are funny. Anyway, with holograms that show car designs out in 2002, I wonder how long it'll take until we hit a button and watch a news channel hologram on the dining room table during dinner.

  6. Hm. on Data Mining, Cocaine and Secrecy · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know they'll be doing doing large-scale smuggling of toxic chemicals for bombs.

  7. Unnecessary add-ons... on MP3 for Gameboy · · Score: 1

    To me, this is just another distraction from the once-simple concept of video games. Now we have DVDs, mp3s, real-life effects... besides all those crazy add-ons, aren't there already palm pilots and even mp3 players to do this for us? Why would you buy your Gameboy Advance to listen to mp3s?

    The whole video game industry is becoming too sidetracked, in my opinion.

  8. Why listen to him? on Zimmermann Suggests Freeing PGP Source · · Score: 1

    If this guy sold PGP five years ago, what authority does he have now to suggest the change?

  9. About the course on Around the World In 14 Days · · Score: 1

    The guy didn't really go around the world, he went more in a pentagon shape around Antarctica. Granted, if he went around the equator, the temprature is liable to be more extreme, but I don't think this is such a great milestone. After all, we all know that balloons are capible of going great distances- what's the point of accomplishing a polygon around the world with one, besides to get your name slapped in a record book that's already 500 pages thick? The first airplane was a major accomplishment, because it was truly something new and innovative; but balloons have been around for ages, and personally, I'm not impressed by another one of them going a couple thousand miles in a few weeks.
