  1. We should have a bogus amnesty day on RIAA Offers Amnesty to File Sharers · · Score: 1

    And bury them in the paperwork. Especially if all 170 million files traders participate.

  2. Are Burst trying to have to both ways. on Microsoft vs. Burst.com · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1 claiming patent infringments
    2 claiming MS stole secrets under a NDA.

    If this is the same technology they can't win on both.

  3. Maybe the worms have stiffled the sending of spam. on NZ Spammer Shutdown Makes Big Difference · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The bunch of worms have stopped and slowed lots of networks recently. Especially over the past 5-6 days. I would wait a bit before claiming a small victory.

  4. They have confused themselves. on Gateway Portable MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    stating that 1G = 1 million bytes, but the unit is only 128 M bytes.

  5. FCC? on FCC Goes WiFi · · Score: 0

    Free Content from Clowns?

  6. But the main issue is who is going to buy them? on Time For A Cray Comeback? · · Score: 1

    Was the reason they went away, can't see things have changed when, especially when you can now cluster much cheaper alternatives

  7. $250,000 is a lot of $ for kids to pay on Slashback: Railing, Blocking, Scoffing · · Score: 1

    Hope he is suing someone worth suing, then again some people do stupider things to try and get famous; he should be so lucky. Think Tempation Is, Survivor, Fear Factor, Fifth Wheel etc...........

  8. the other 1/3 will go to the lawyers on California Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    that is how the settlements work. the only bigger winners are the lawyers (as usual).

  9. 5 times your money rebate! on PeopleSoft Deflects Oracle Takeover, So Far · · Score: 1

    If they are taken over! Wow, what are the odds on this horse coming in (Oracle succeding)? Have to be better than 20%? Might get myself some Peoplesoft software instead of a Lotto ticket this week.

  10. Re:SCO who? on SCO's Other Investor: Sun Microsystems · · Score: 2, Informative

    yeah, but adapting from linux/GNU would mean continuing on with the GPL license, something they want to keep Solaris separate from.

  11. In other news the BBC on Switch On For Powered Data Networks · · Score: 4, Informative

    states that if you rub two sticks together you get fire.

    Seriously, how long have did it take people to release there is a current in their ethernet cable? I known of products (home made and retail) that have been around for years that utilise this power supply.

  12. OK, more efficient at cooling than a fan. on Another Water-Cooling System For Laptops · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But with laptops getting smaller and lighter, who wants a heavier bulkier machine that can run faster. Better off using a desktop if that's the way you want to go.

  13. Re:"Worthless Navigation Systems" on Hardware-Based Commute-Map Gadget · · Score: 1

    OK, but where do they work? Good idea, but they reply on heaps of public funded infrastructure to work. I rather have the traffic reports on the radio, a worthless dvd player than higher taxes.

  14. So when you walk into a store... on RFID Industry Confidential Memos · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Will the clerk know what you aready are wearing down to your jocks size. I can see lots of good things with these tags but I can see lots of missuses too.

    I wonder if govts will legislate to make it possible for us to op-out with these tags? Some tags maybe built into the products that it would be impossible for us to remove them. I think we need protection too.

  15. MS got away with a slap on their wrists.... on Massachusetts Probing Microsoft Settlement Gripes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now it turns out that they have yet to have the slap on the wrist yet.

  16. When is a picture not a picture? on 9th Circuit Court Finds 'Thumbnailing' Fair Use · · Score: 3, Funny

    When it is a thumbnail :O

  17. This doesn't make sense? - Scare mongering. on Trustworthy Software For The NSA? · · Score: 1

    If they used standard project management procedures, use project coding standards, have full source code review; how can there be security concerns? Sounds totally like scare mongering to me!

  18. users don't agree, they are tricked into accepting on Gator-style Overlay Ads Are Legal, Says Court · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Obviously the court (Judge(s)) have never used a computer on the internet. I know not to accept the certificate blindly, but most people (wrongly) think that to open the web site you need to accept theor certificate.

  19. Another reason not to breed on Twist on DNA Privacy · · Score: 2, Funny

    And I guess that there might be a spate of people knocking off their relatives too; just to be safe.

  20. gives new meaning to chinese walls on First Dual-emission OLED Display in a Phone · · Score: 1

    well i guess we'll call them Japanese walls.

  21. Why don't they fix the exploit? on Xbox Linux Made Possible Without a Modchip · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ohh, wait, no-body applies security patches to game boxes, what was I thinking :)

  22. What was that you said? on dB Drag Racing · · Score: 0

    huh, I can't hear you?

  23. It doesn't make the computer quiter... on Melamine Ceiling Tiles and the Quiet PC · · Score: 1, Insightful

    the tiles deaden the sound reverberation, and makes the room quiter.

  24. new antennas all around on World Radiocommunications Group OKs New WLAN Spectrum · · Score: 1, Funny

    guess i'll have to re-design my home-brew antennas. And proberly buy new gear, but at least I won't get as much interference from my shed door opener, my cordless phone, microwave, fridge, wireless stereo ear phones, and my neighbours..........

  25. yeah, but.... on Dear Sir: Your Credit Card Number Has Been Owned · · Score: 1, Insightful

    this is only good if they know they have been compromised!
