  1. Re:As a GNOME fan on Is Commercialization Killing Open Source? · · Score: 1

    I agree. We should all wish that open-source roots wither away. The idea lives on, but now with capitalistic efficiency. Maybe, just maybe, I'll now someday get grandma to use a free OS.

    So how do you make sure that they tell you of a hack they do find? What is to prevent them from failing to disclose said hack and sell it for a tidy sum to China?

  10. Re:All you Wii naysayers, your number is up... on BBC Ponders Another Games Industry Crash · · Score: 1
    My dad, mom, and three girls in the family are all decidedly anti-gaming (meaning they HATE and ridicule video games); they spent an entire evening bowling on Wii Sports, drinking wine and being merry this last weekend. My grandma even wanted one, but I think she was kind of expecting a price tag in the $60 range. She is frugal. :)

    Sorry Sony.

  11. Advertisment may = income for artists on youtube on Enforced Ads Coming to Flash Video Players · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Which might be great for artists, who then can not only distribute their music videos, but turn a profit through advertisement.

  12. Re:Oh, come on! on Enforced Ads Coming to Flash Video Players · · Score: 1

    No worries... Google technology will soon predict which Youtube video we were going to click on next, since they know more about ourselves than we do, and we can use that info to pre-fetch the video and play the advertisements in advance.

    Any proponent of quantum mind argues for a quantum coherence that is macroscopic in scale. I am not an expert, but I would not be surprised if the two most remarkable phenomena in the Universe, Mind and quantum mechanics, are somehow related.
