  1. Re:Pay more on Paul Samuelson Challenges Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Nice logic

  2. Re:Indian Outsourcing on DNS Root Servers Outside US Surpass Those Inside · · Score: 1

    DNS has nothing to do with IP routing. Routing tables are maintained by ISPs. IP routing decisions are not made just based on distance, but also cost/bandwidth per route.

  3. CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE BEFORE YOU FLY on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you have a bad credit score, be prepared for a full body cavity search.

  4. BULLOCK CART HAS THE BEST NAVIGATION SYSTEM on Joining the Global Village · · Score: 1

    The OX while returning home, doesn't need any directions from the driver. The OX knows the way home. In fact the driver normally sleeps while returning home.

  5. IT MAY BE A MISTAKE OF THE TECH WRITERS on Dell Throws In For The +R/+RW Standard · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I searched the DELL site and I couldn't find any product or page where they mention DVD+-RW. I would guess that a big company like DELL would offer a drive that supports both DVD+ and DVD- formats when it is available in the market. Most of the drives in the current market support both DVD+ and DVD- formats for as low as $120. It might be the mistake of the technical writers at DELL to refere DVD+-RW as just DVD+R.

  6. whitehouse.org on White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling · · Score: 1

    this is a funny site.

  7. With NAT getting popular, 32 bit IPv4 should good on Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins · · Score: 1

    With NATing, lot of houses and companies use only few IP addresses for internet services. I don't see the IPv4 running out of space fast. I am sure, it is not used efficiently. Siva

  8. Re:TCP/IP on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Its not just a reference model... There are implementation of OSI stack for use in communication. Telecom Applications use them a lot. Just a result form Google. Compaq OSI

  9. TCP/IP on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The people who developed TCP/IP would have never thought it would be used as widely as it is now. ISO OSI stack was supposed to be the standard network protocol. But It failed miserably.

  10. How about NONVIOLENCE-GPL? on Open Source Code And War · · Score: 1

    A license which will restrict use of the software by anyone releated with violence or hate against humanity.

  11. Yes, As long as Program Managers are morons on Do Scripters Suffer Discrimination? · · Score: 1

    I think it is lot to do with the Program Manager who decides how a task has to be implemented. In most cases, these guys are not technically good.

  12. Simple, No Telephone # used, Not a Telecom Service on Speak Up On FCC VoIP Regulation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As long as there is no telephone number is used in providing the service, it shouldn't be considered a Telecom service.

  13. What kind of foam is that? on Columbia Coverage · · Score: 1

    I always thought foam to be very light weight and could never damage anything. Is it the same kind of foam that is used in packing? I hate when people try to theorize a problem and solve it on paper when it is easy to practically check it out. How hard it could have been for NASA to do a physical inspection using a telescope from earth or satellite. After the cold war, NASA lost the motivation to innovate. Instead it sat on the same old technology for more than a decade. Budget is also to blame. I don't think there is any other country that can beat US in militray power, but yet more and more money goes into defence.

  14. Why rush for a 64 bit processor? on Athlon 64 Pushed Back to September · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Other than for encryption, there are not many common desktop application that needs a 64 bit processor. Why this rush for 64 bit processor?

  15. Re:Gun Control + Proper Enforcement = Zero Crime on An Unbiased Analysis of Gun Crime vs. Gun Control? · · Score: 1

    I agree with the quote... but personally, I don't believe the "Right to own a gun" is an essential liberty.

  16. Gun Control + Proper Enforcement = Zero Crime on An Unbiased Analysis of Gun Crime vs. Gun Control? · · Score: 1

    Ideally, This should work. But most of the time, the law enforcement is not good enough. So it doesn't work well in practice. It is a question of whether you want to give up the right to protect yourself and trust the law enforcement agencies. Personally, I won't mind giving up my right to own a gun if it could save atleast one life. Even if it means I am taking a very very rare chance that I might be shot and killed by a criminal just because I didn't have a gun.

  17. IMAGINE A BEOWULF CLUSTER OF THESE on First Emergency Use of Whole-Aircraft Parachute · · Score: 1

    Wow... they should be able to bring down a 747 safly.

  18. OPEN SOURCE RADIO STATION on Ideas for a Recording Industry Alternative? · · Score: 1

    We need a non profit radio station purely dedicated for free songs (just like PBS). There should be one content that is relayed by all college station and amature radio station. The content should be well picked by pure music talent. I am sure people would like to listen to it. After all people got so crazy on Kelly Clarkson's voice (American Idol).

  19. RADIO STATIONS should promote this on Ideas for a Recording Industry Alternative? · · Score: 1

    There should be a way for all these good free songs to be promoted by Radio station. Or else it is never going to affect the Music Industry.

  20. First Tip for Unix Geeks on Top Ten Mac OS X Tips for Unix Geeks · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    STICK WITH LINUX

  21. Intelligent Memory on Revolutionizing x86 CPU Performance · · Score: 1

    I think the main problem is that, In the current architecture, all data had to be brought to a small set of register in the CPU for getting proccessed. I think it will be better that data gets processed in the memory where it is and all that the CPU should do is send an instruction to the memory. This will be a more faster approch to data processing. The CPU will mainly act as a master and all memory will be slave.

  22. Brain Surgery for Dummies on Organizers Plan Online Medical School · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where do I get these textbooks?

  23. Britney Spears has to come to my home and sing on Fritz's Hit List · · Score: 1

    When do they realize that they can never ever stop something from being copied again when in the first place it was copied legally for distribution. This can only happen when Britney Spears can come to my home and sing to me after making sure I don't have any recording device.

  24. Digital Answering Machine. on Fritz's Hit List · · Score: 5, Funny
