  1. $129 ????? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1
    ..among those who spent money seeking a remedy, the average outlay was $129.

    Well they should have contacted me.. I would have charged only $50 ;) ..

  2. American Economy on Amazon Slaps Orbitz and Avis With Patent Lawsuit · · Score: 1
    The american economy is pretty much run on lawsuits transactions rather that business related B2B or B2C transactions. Corporations aside personal lawsuits are on the rise too.

    An interesting poll in slashdot could be how many times have you been sued personally. Although techies don't get involved in lawsuits but management officals get pulled in often.

  3. Could we please have something new.. on New Batch of XP SP2 Holes · · Score: 1
    what a boring day with the usual windows security fixes.

    now what would be interesting is having a news like "No new windows security fixes for today." That would really be a eye popper.

    Well back to sleep.

  4. Costs more on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1
    I bet the monitors will cost more and this technology will go down the drain too like the music DRM technology.

    I'll try to keep myself away from the monitors for a couple of months and keep using XP.

  5. that's easy. on Microsoft and Yahoo! Fight Spam - Sort Of · · Score: 1

    Since 90% of the email is spam, Microsoft can use their usual programming techniques and generate a random number. If it is lesser than 90 then delete the mail else let the mail go through. Easy...

  6. Isn't this old. on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I remember reading a story ("news") like this couple months ago.

  7. Re:Good Idea, Bad Price on Optimus Keyboard With OLED Display Keys · · Score: 1

    Yeah but in mass production they might be able to bring down the price. I guess OLED are prety inexpensive if I think what they are.

  8. Final Version ?? on Independence Day for Transformers Live Action · · Score: 1

    Is that going to be the final version or the alpha release ???

  9. Toys ?? on Sun's CIO Talks Internal Experiences · · Score: 0, Redundant
    "..his job is like any other CIO's...just with some cool toys."

    Mommy I want to be CIO and I want toys too ...

  10. Re:And this study is not nonsense... on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because this is from the other 2/3rd studies talking about the other 1/3rd studies.

  11. See I told you. on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 0

    I soo knew this was true.. But no one believed me.

  12. Re:Yeah! on NerdTV Coming in September · · Score: 1

    Well if you google the right terms you can probably find other shows on torrents too (maybe).

  13. Problem with the sensors on NASA Scrubs Launch Due to Faulty Fuel-Tank Sensor · · Score: 1
    This may be a little off-topic but...

    As we keep adding more computer onboard the more problems we have. Of course on board computers are very helpful but out of the two cars I have (one loaded with on board computer, the other with minimal computers) the one with minimal computers is doing much more better(stays with me more than staying in the garage) than the one loaded with computers. Most of the time the car loaded with computers has a problem the computer itself (and who's going to flag that problem?).

  14. Woohoo on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 1
    Finally get to see some quality HDTV programming instead of the same fish and nature clips they play over and over again on OTA local HDTV channels.

    When I first got a HDTV I remember watching the 30 minute movie loops for 2-3 hours. I just love the clarity of HD but my family members did not like me.

  15. It's all balanced. on Apple Switch to Intel Not a Big Loss for IBM · · Score: 1, Funny
    If Apple switched from IBM to Intel for it's computers, Microsoft swtiched from Intel to IBM for it's game consoles.

    Microsoft must have or will declare this in the future "Apple is just a technology fad that will not be known in 5 years. We will conquor Apple."

    So it doesn't matter what chips apple uses since mircosoft will conquor them like all others. :)

  16. Wow on Homebuilt 19" Mini-ITX Server Rack · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow that's soo cool having a server farm right beside where I sit. :)

  17. Cameras ??? on 107 Cameras to Scan Discovery for Damage · · Score: 1

    They could have used them oeny spent on cameras. Last I had seen on discovery channel was a method of coating the chips underneath of the shuttle in flight which was very cool. How about some insulating material (like scotch guard for carpets) or by keeping debris out in the first place (I guess most of the debris falls off from the shuttle and hits itself).

  18. Very Intelligent on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My relatives have a african grey parrot and they are in fact really smart. They even seem to answer your questions (and complete sentences or phrases). Only thing is that they bite real hard so you might want to keep a distance while talking/playing with them.

  19. Who? on Drupal Needs a New Home · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Never heard of Drupal. Can this be a marketing scheme?

  20. Like always ! on Pocket PC vs. Palm Showdown · · Score: 1

    If you are after gaming, multimedia, good WiFi+Bluetooth support, a lot of accessories and versatility, go with Pocket PC. Like they always say.. "Windows for gaming, others for productivity"

  21. CrossFire on Sneak Peek at ATi's CrossFire Graphics System · · Score: 1, Funny

    I though crossfire was a trademark of chrysler. Or... Don't they have a patent on Crossfire.. If not I should get one.

  22. Iris Recognition on Iris Recognition To Take Off · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I believe iris recognition takes some time to verfiy the identity of the person as the person has to stand close to a certain point and then the scanner would scan the eye. So this will take more time than pulling your card out and swipping it and walking through the doors. Therefore this tech will only be used in high security area and most of them I guess are already using it.

  23. Grey Area on Google Wins 'Typosquatting' Dispute · · Score: 1

    This is a grey area for domains as to which are used for typosquatting and which are legitimate. The other domains might mean something else in another language.

  24. Good step but a little late on New York Taxis Will Go Hybrid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A lot of other cities have public transportation running on propane, etc. Many international cities have seen a lot of cut back in pollution just by switching the public transportation to a more environment friendly energy source.

  25. Only for servers? on Fujitsu Bundling SUSE Linux · · Score: 1

    Some major computer manufacture should break all microsoft laws and start providing linux as a desktop OS alternative and should stick to it while it catches on. Dell did that for a while and fell to microsoft's feet later on. If only they had continued ...
