  1. Re:True Investigative Journalism on Letting Time Solve the Online News Dilemma · · Score: 1

    I just don't think that will work. Twitter has killed the concept of first access to anything. This is the age of instant information spreading like wildfire. There are lots of good blogs out there doing in-depth "investigative journalism", or at least good enough that it will suffice for people much more than something they have to pay for. A new business model must be invented. People don't want to pay to know something is happening when they know that they can now get that information for free.

  2. Re:Simple??? on Shuttle and Hubble Passing In Front of the Sun · · Score: 1

    Indeed, but I was speaking of the relative simplicity of the photo, i.e. big yellow dot, little black dot.

  3. Re:Do they have ratings? on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Interesting. Well, then computer chess geeks should refocus on cracking a game of Go. That should keep them busy for a while. :P

  4. Re:Can I have a PC and a router .. on UK Researches Future 10Gbps Broadband Technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    An M20 is a nice, juicy, Juniper router. If you had one, you would know it.

  5. Re:Can I have a PC and a router .. on UK Researches Future 10Gbps Broadband Technology · · Score: 1

    You mean you don't have an M20 hooked up to your DSL right now? :P But really, it wouldn't be too expensive (especially relative to an equivalent Cisco or Juniper) to build a linux router capable of 10Gbps. If I could get that to my house, I'd definitely pay the $1000 or so for a 10Gig-E card.

    Yeah, it's too bad he started focusing his energy on hating Jews and Americans instead of continuing to build up his game. Who knows what he could have been?

  7. Um, yeah, hai.. on UK Researches Future 10Gbps Broadband Technology · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm from the US. Can I at least have 100Mbps to my house please? Kthxbye.

  8. Re:Boring on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Too bad Fischer isn't around. I found him much more interesting to watch than Kasparov. He would smash opponents, including computers (albiet, they weren't nearly up to the level they are now) into submission. Great stuff.

  9. Do they have ratings? on Computer Chess Programs Vie "Live" For World Championship · · Score: 1

    Do they get FIDE ratings? It's great to see interest being brought to the game. They should have Anand play against the victor for a man vs. machine championship, like Kasparov vs. Fritz a few years back. Those are such elegant games to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRW9io3myOI

  10. It's amazing... on Shuttle and Hubble Passing In Front of the Sun · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...how beautiful the simplest things can be.

  11. I'm still going to wait... on Gartner Tells Businesses to Forget About Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

    For Windows 9, which will be based of of linux kernel 2.8.12.

  12. Re:0.027% on IPv4 Address Use In 2008 · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, they probably mean "allocated", instead of actually "used" like they said. Many companies have already grabbed large IPv6 blocks but they are hardly in use at all.
