  1. Asus EEE PC on Long-Range Wireless Keyboard/Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Asus EEE PC + VNC over Wi-Fi should solve everything.

  2. I don't think so on The Red Team Wins · · Score: 1

    Blue CTs have an advantage in dark levels

  3. Re:Camera upgrade?????? on WWDC '08 Sees Slimmer, Improved, 3G iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apple's goal is quite clear here. They want to attach an iPhone to every soul on this planet. Hence the price drop and the old camera to lower costs. Also, 2 people buy more software through the AppStore than 1, specially if that 1 person doesn't care about the Apps cause he's too happy playing with the video camera the whole day.

  4. I'll buy one on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 1

    When it makes it's own plastic cartridges too.

  5. BOTs! on Google to Offer Real-Time Stock Quotes · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for them to release an API so everyone can build his/her own trader bot. Talk about Wintermute...

  6. Makes sense on Game Technology Helps Drive Military Training · · Score: 1

    With the ongoing development of unmanned vehicles war will turn into a 1942 kind-of game for most of the US army. Including respawn. Your predator got pawned? You get automatically to control the next available one.
    So it makes sense to use the same interface you've been using all your youth years. I'd stick with the good old ASDW and mouse, over any other if you ask me.

    The world cyber games champion will be tomorrow's Rambo, so don't mess with her/him.

  7. Re:Dont RTFA on Shaun White Snowboarding Wii to Use Balance Board · · Score: 1

    Damn, it's too late for me now...Save yourselves! Run! I'll know what to do when the time comes...

  8. I love reality on Space Station Toilets Poop Out · · Score: 1

    This is the kind of problems humans will face everyday while exploring the universe. Not the plasma-shields, warp reactors and all that pasteurized crap you see in today's sci-fi movies and novels.

    And remember. In space, no one can hear you fart.

  9. Re:Paying for your time on Getting the "Free" Business Model Wrong Doesn't Mean the Model is Flawed · · Score: 1

    Users will always need upgrades and demand more features, those can be addressed offering bounties.

  10. Oh C'mon! on Atari Founder Proclaims the End of Gaming Piracy · · Score: 1

    Is this guy the same Nostradamus that predicted DVD, BluRay, and [insert your favourite..] encryption to be unbreakable?

    Have some self respect and tell me it's a joke.

  11. The problem with US lawmakers on US Plots "Pirate Bay Killer" Trade Agreement · · Score: 1

    Is that they want the US laws enforced in every country, not just theirs.
    When something is illegal in Germany all sites are required to ban german IPs from, say, the download section. When something is illegal in the US, they want it erased from the face of the earth.

  12. That explains a lot. on Feds Now Allowed To Use Internet · · Score: 1

    A guy by the name of Homer Thompson just added me as a Facebook friend, wondered who he was.

  13. Inefficient on US Firms Read Employee E-mail On a Massive Scale · · Score: 1

    How is this different from Google reading, indexing and tagging every word in your e-mails? Is it bad just because they actually hire people instead of using an AI?

  14. Note to users: Change your GMail password on Google Health Opens To the Public · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember that social site that fooled you to get your gmail account and password so you can "invite" all your friends? Remember that someone told you not to do so because is wasn't safe to make your password public but you didn't listen?

    Well, now you just got a shinny new Penile Prosthesis Insertion - Non-inflatable AND a Penile Prosthesis Insertion- Inflatable.

    Have a nice day.

  15. Re:Selling out? on 25 Years Old and an Offshore IT Manager · · Score: 1

    Maybe he worked at Lockheed Martin before, you never know.

  16. Grey Goo? on Honeywell & Airbus To Turn Algae Into Jet Fuel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...program to develop jet fuel from algae and other biomass...

    Yes, but can they use grey goo?

  17. Sad news on Microsoft and OLPC Agree To Put XP On the XO Laptop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I Can't believe people, even inside Microsoft, can see this as a good thing. This is like McDonalds bullying and lobbying to make the BigMac the preferred choice for UN's world food programme, and succeeding. And having people like Negroponte not mad about it just makes me think there's little to no hope.

  18. Stop the bullshit on Online Quiz As a Gateway to P2P · · Score: 1

    Abolish copyright and stop this bullshit. 6 hours?? Why not 5? or 3? Please.

  19. Next export on China Buying US Directed Sound 'Weapon' · · Score: 1

    will be M4A1s with rubber bullets. They aren't lethal so the ban doesn't apply either ;)

    Have you seen the movie Lord of War? Great movie.

  20. Argentinan case on China to Regulate Internet Map Publishing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Argentina streets aren't in Google maps either. I've heard tons of versions regarding why practically every southamerican country but Argentina don't show up there. Including, and this one came from a Google employee, that the military/goverment didn't want to give "sensitive" information (Read: The bribe wasn't good enough). So they were looking for third party mapping companies to buy the data from (Read: Unhappy employee)

    MSN Live has streets but it seems they've used very old data as they show streets that don't exist so don't rely on them too much.

    Don't know about Yahoo.

  21. Re:Home Version on "Back To My Mac" Catches a Thief · · Score: 1

    That's great! I would vote for a long HowTo or a script. Making it a package may make it very popular and the feature may get known by everybody, including the thieves.

  22. Re:For Profit on Google's Shareholders Vote Against Human Rights · · Score: 1

    Thanks for bringing that up. Haven't thought of it before but yes you are right.

  23. For Profit on Google's Shareholders Vote Against Human Rights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not Google's fight. They are in to make money. Period. Do no evil? Please, don't be naive.

    And for those of you who say "If you are part of the system, you support it" and criticize Google for not standing up against human right violations, well, then stop buying everything made in China and stand up yourself first! Stop buying Nike shoes, iPods, some GAP cloth, Notebooks, Blu-ray players, LCD TVs and many other gadgets you love so much...Suddenly China's human right violations doesn't sound too much evil when you have to change your consuming habits right?

    It's not Google's shareholders, it's ALL of us who "Vote Against Human Rights". We vote with our [insert local currency here] everyday and everyday we vote for the best price/benefit (or any other formula) and care shit about human rights involved in the manufacturing of the product.

  24. Umm on Gaming Gear Showdown, Simplicity vs. Hype · · Score: 1

    He KNOWS which set of hardware he is playing with. Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them using the same method...Not very scientific.

    I'm not saying he is not right, he probably is. But I could have guessed that without even trying them.

  25. Re:Time for us westerners to wring our hands... on Windows in Brazil Costs 20% of Per Capita Business Income · · Score: 1

    Relax and enjoy life. Good talking to you.
