  1. Dream come true! on Monkey Island To Return · · Score: 1

    One of the few PC games I think about still. Great story and graphics of the era. So funny too, I remember laughing my butt off as a pre-teen.... Looking forward to it!

  2. Re:Minor correction - it is Florida State... on Super-Magnet Sheds Light on Semiconductors · · Score: 1

    Thank you for this important clarification. I highly recommend anyone visiting Tallahassee get a tour of this amazing lab!

  3. Urchin was so-so, but it was ours. on A Google Blunder- the Sad Story of Urchin · · Score: 1

    The data center I was at paid $1500 for Urchin expecting upgrades. Given the log-file crawling of the stand-alone Urchin vs. Javascript embedding of Analytics, Urchin seemed more reliable in the numbers. Google Analytics has much better reporting, however. But why do both still use RegEx for filtering IP addresses? Can't they write a simpler interface for that common task?

  4. Re:yawn on MPAA Goes After Home Entertainment Systems · · Score: 1

    Not funny. Bad satire. Not even a cracked smile.

  5. NSA in non-domestic telecommunications on Blackberry Blackout Threat to Software as Service? · · Score: 1

    Again let us not forget the RIM servers being Canadian. This seems to provide perfecto cover (if needed) for NSA to say all BlackBerry communications are not strictly domestic, therefore subject to legal tapping.

  6. Last.FM on Apple Responds to iTunes Spying Allegations · · Score: 1

    I voluntarily give all my information to Last.fm -- serves me and my friends, and others there by helping collect and manage what I listen to. Then they let the world listen to what I listen to, legally broadcasting those tracks they can find to broadcast as an internet radio station. To me this is the height of Internet communities technologies doing me a great service. I say take my data, please! Help me find more good music!! Now, if this were used for evil....? BAD scene, perhaps.

  7. listening to his music on Jaron Lanier on the Semi-Closed Internet · · Score: 1

    just as confused and painful

  8. Similar to previous Patent posted? on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1

    #6,960,975

    This patent was pointed to in a previous /. post. Seems to "operate" similarly.

  9. Similar to previous Patent posted? on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Nothing new here... move along. on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps · · Score: 2

    Truly then, we must await the criminal intent and use of such immense power for personal greed.... Hmm, I imagine this evidence is forthcoming as we all more effectively keep our eyes on the money. Who financially profits from terror and death? Globalist elite megalomanics? America takes seriously our role of thug in the global protection racket; Bush benefits, we all benefit. No worries here..., head down, work hard, and we shall be free.

  11. Re:Just what we need... on Torvalds Gets Tough on Kernel Contributors · · Score: 1

    Who knows his team's motivations better? They probably like the dominating tone! ;-) Whip-CRACK!

  12. Re:I think you nailed it. on Why Have PDAs Failed In The iPod Era? · · Score: 1

    Overall lesser investment in industrial design and human factor engineering leadership.

  13. Re:I studied different hashes.. on MD5 To Be Considered Harmful Someday · · Score: 1

    Actually the strongest (Moonshine, CCup winner 2002/3 in Amst.) is quite dark, but seems dry as a stone....
