  1. I saw a cop driving and talking on his cell phone on New System Detects Calls While Driving · · Score: 1

    ...but the best part was

    he was in a squad car in uniform at the time.

    Are we now in a state of anarchy?

  2. Yes, but on Data Stored in Live Neurons · · Score: 0

    Can it run linux?

  3. Problem with the people who enforce the DRM on AACS Revision Cracked A Week Before Release · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are not just up against a determined people. They are up against SMART, determined people. These are the kind of people who will circumvent a problem before circle a petition.

    The AACS LA is really fighting a losing battle on this one. The question I have to ask is where and when are they going to cut their losses.

    The sleezy guy with a scooter, pocketpc phone, and a vista laptop. I am so glad I just graduated from college.

    No, a woman shouldn't have to prove anything upon entering the workplace

    No. This is wrong. A woman SHOULD have to prove herself as much as any man. They hired you to do a job, you have to prove you can do it.

    Also, you HAVE to play office politics. Kiss babies and shake hands. Introduce yourself. This is not your manager's job.

  8. Awsome. on Vista the Last of Its Kind · · Score: 1

    "Upper layers could have dependencies on lower layers, but lower layers could not be dependent on upper ones," the analysts wrote. "This would allow it to lockdown lower layers when complete and worry less about compatibility changes as it worked up the stack."

    Trying to figure out what this means....

    divide the Windows client into a "service partition", controlling system functions such as management and security, and one or more application partitions.

    I get it! It is like a Virtual Anti-Trust System!

    Seriously, just because Microsoft is having such a difficult time releasing an updated operating system they feel like they can charge money for on the x86 platform, doesn't mean there aren't other companies who are selling updates annually to another operating system.

    I thought that Microsoft had a lot of marketing power. Why are they so flaky on delivering an operating system which has no competition. They could sell a service pack to XP and make a fortune.

    Given Microsoft's history of progression, I guarantee that this will be the most unstable, insecure, unusual, and unnecessarily complex operating system in it's history. Yes more so than Bob and WinMe.

  9. NOOOOOOO!!!! on Tech Replaces Diamonds As Girl's Best Friend · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Never again will I be able to pick up chicks in the computer lab...

    Now I'll never be able to get rid of my ....uh... research.

  11. Yes, but... on Knock Some Commands Into Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    Won't this let out the magic smoke? No way I am doing that again!

  12. And let me guess.... on MS Security Guru Leaves for Amazon.com · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...he signed a Non-Compete Agreement with Microsoft so he's working as front door security.

  13. Yea-haw, buy ipod it'll save your life at 90mph on Integrate iPod with Car or Risk Death · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know when I am in a high speed chase on Santa Monica Freeway and the news helicopters are overhead, the last thing I want to be doing is fumbling for my copy of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on my ipod!

  14. The NEW Internet on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think you all aren't going to like this, but Myspace is beginning to become what people (under 30) mean when people ask if you are "on the internet?" This is similar to when people ask if you have a phone, they mean a cell phone.

    I saw a movie preview yesterday on tv where it didn't list a website, but a myspace address. It may be a good thing that your content provider will become a social networking site, so you could look at your content in virtually the same way on every computer which is connected.

    But doing the same thing the same way as everyone else isn't what being a nerd is all about, right?

  15. Whatever it is going to be on Boeing Connexion, No More Wi-Fi at 30,000 ft? · · Score: 1

    It will happen, but it will pretty expensive.

  16. What did you do? on Replacement for Jewel Cases? · · Score: 1

    How come the cases are snapped or broken? Do you want to put all the CD's and DVD's in a big envelope, or would that be at risk to be damaged as well?

  17. Re:Uhmmm... on Is Silicon Valley Reproducible? · · Score: 1
    Isn't this like asking if the Italian Renaissance could have happened anywhere except Italy?

    Well if it happened somewhere else, it wouldn't be italian.

    Maybe Silicon Valley could be Silicon Desert or Silicon Swamp

  18. Only one chapter on Beginning PHP and MySQL 5.0 · · Score: 1

    Well, here is the problem. There is only one chapter on securing PHP and MySQL, and it is the 21st Chapter. Why put anything on the internet if there isn't sercurity on it.

  19. Introduction Level Courses on Should Students Be Taught With or Without an IDE? · · Score: 1

    Definantly should be done by the command line. It will probably be something most of them have not experienced anyway, so it will be a nice way to round off the course.

  20. email on Spy Sweeper, the Next Netscape? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Simple. Include email functionality. It will happen anyway.

  21. The best way to make something lame on MIT Plans To Convert Cell Phone Users Into Podcasters · · Score: 1

    Signal to Noise ratio?

  22. Infoworld is an Ad museum on Motorola Seeks Mobile Unity at JavaOne · · Score: 1

    Wow. Just look at all the ads on the page. There is even a pop-up. I thought those things were extinct for the larger websites. If you go to the top right of the page it folds down to give you a better look at, that's right, more ads.

    With a name like Infoworld...

    EVIL...!

  24. I knew someone who used photoshop on Design Software Weakens Classic Drawing Skills · · Score: 1

    Yes, Photoshop was the basis for his 4 by 4 foot sized paintings. He took and image, photoshopped it, then printed it out, and made paintings of the printouts. Ironically, he didn't paint any faster than the other art students in the class, nor did he paint with any more creativity than anyone else. So, computers didn't ruin him, nor did it really help him. It was really a mental crutch to make his art work look different for a reason, he used technology. Oh, and he could draw pretty good as well.

  25. Missle Command on SpaceX's Falcon 1 Destroyed During Maiden Voyage · · Score: 1

    I guess MSNBC is a reputable site, but I don't see an Airforce and Pentagon(?) funded satelite as private. Sounds kinda like a Private Military Corp, which isn't really all that private. It sounds like Merc stuff.
