  1. Hey that's me! on HP Recalls 135,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Too bad the laptop is brand new, I could've made a good deal if it were a few years old (free new battery).

  2. Re:Indie Music on Internet and Merchandising Good For Indie Media · · Score: 1

    Magnatune is an open music record label. They have a good selection of artists and you get to choose how much the artist deserves for his work. You can download in many different formats (WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC and AAC) and license the music for commercial work.

  3. Re:Not bad on MSN Virtual Earth Revealed · · Score: 1

    Better aerial resolution for some locations. For example, try Marinal Del Rey, CA
    MSN Google

  4. Re:Near-silent on Liquid Metal Cooling in New ATI Video Card · · Score: 1
    Near-silent? What is making the noise then?
    The non-silent fans.
  5. Re:Useless on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    You can use nrg2iso

  6. Re:Go magnetic on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 1

    An electromagnetic pulse generator (coil + oscilliator + battery) could probably open a magnetic lock (unless it has protection for such devices).

  7. Locutus on Google Experiments With Local Filesystem Search · · Score: 1

    Makes me think of Ian's program Locutus. A decentralized file searching tool.

  8. Re:Upgrade on Gentoo Linux Announces Gentoo Linux 2004.1 · · Score: 1

    # emerge -Du world is a better thing to do since the -D flag ensures every depedency is installed.

  10. Dupe on Researchers Develop 3-D Search Engine · · Score: 3, Informative

    Didn't we have a similar article about 3D searching a week ago?

  11. Re:It's about time on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage? · · Score: 1

    Streamload.com offers unlimited storage for your pictures and movies. Altough, the bandwidth is limited by the price you pay per month. 5$ gives you a GB of transfer.

  12. Re:IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE!!!!!!! on Warp Records Reject DRM, Go Bleep · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Petition available.

  13. Key-lock on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I like the key-lock concept, great way to prenvent your children from playing when you don't want them to be playing.

  14. Re:I haven't tried it yet, either on New Napster Off To A Solid Start · · Score: 1

    But it isn't compatible with Opera or Mozilla. Besides, they use DRM WMA files (pretty much like everyone else). I won't be buying music online until I'll be able to download my songs in the format I want.

  15. Re:Can PC users tets it and report? on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    The reason you can't hear the sound difference is probably because you don't have an adequate sound system. FYI, there is a HUGE difference in quality from a 128kbit MP3 and a CD. With carefull listening, you will see that a 192kbit MP3 still doesn't sound just as well as the CD. With more and more people on broadband and hard disk space becoming cheaper and cheaper, music will be traded in loss-less formats. (I know you can find some loss-less albums around but it's not yet the norm)

  16. The End on Cringely Tries Snapster 2.0 · · Score: 1

    This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end It's sad to see the RIAA go away :'-(

  17. Dual Secure Digital (SD) slots on Palm OS Based Gaming Device Nears Release · · Score: 0, Troll
    Dual Secure Digital (SD) slots
    What a waste of space. I supose one of the slots will be for a memory card and the other card for the actual game. But couldn't they just reserve some space on the game card to store the save files. Makes sense to me and lowers the price tag and puts more room for batteries. Silly marketing executives trying to be hip and all that. "Gee, I have a great idea, let's put two SD slots! That'll impress the consumers!"
  18. eBay on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 2, Informative

    2000mAh Ni-Mh AA cells are very cheap on eBay. You will also find good chargers for under 20$. I recommend that you stay away from thoses fast-charge models since your cells won't last as much. Ni-Mh cells have much more energy than alkalines. As an example, I was looking for some cells to put in my digital camera. The only thing I found was a pair of alkaline cells. After about 5 shots, they were dead.

  19. Mini-Nanotech on Microbes for Bioremediation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nanotechnology will practicaly do the same thing in a much more efficient way. Imagine, the little robots could built a small city with nuclear waste. Take a few carbon atoms lying around and built some houses. Then build a nuclear plant. Use the depleated uranium to make rods. Use thoses rods in the nuclear plant to provide power to the freshly assembled houses. Tada! City in a Box (Tm)

  20. Cure for Hiroshima/Nagasaki? on Microbes for Bioremediation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But the real question is, how well does it work? Can this convert a nuclear waste zone into a habitable zone? This is great news for the environmentalists.

  21. Re:strength of bamboo on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    Jackie Chan did a nice action scene in Rush Hour 2 involving bamboo scaffolds.

  22. Maybe... on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is the perfect opportunity to invent some sort of magnifying device...Yes..it should be portable and light. I'll call it glasses.

  23. Mechanical Engineering on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    It's great to know they'll be lots of jobs for me when I graduate. Masters degree in ME (Concentration in Robotics). Perfect!

  24. Memory on U.S. Biometric Passports By Late 2004 · · Score: 1

    32K of memory should be enough for anybody.

  25. Re:48 hours... before what? on Cheaper, Cleaner Hydrogen Without Platinum · · Score: 1

    Kaboom!
