  1. Useless! on Labels Trying New CD Copy Prevention Systems · · Score: 1

    If it can be listened to, it can be copied. There is no way around that.

  2. What is wrong with the current tools? on Yahoo! Releases Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I search for a file every few months since my files are categorized, and I easily find them by browsing. What exactly is wrong with the current desktop search tools like the one found in Windows Explorer that makes these companies create alternatives?

  3. Online News Rule on Internet Kills LA Times National Edition · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I only read online news. First, I get to read news for free since I don't have to buy the paper, but more importantly, I save time. For example, on CNN or any other news channel, they'll announce a story that you really want to hear as "coming up after the brake." After the brake, they'll go to something else, then something else, and so on. It will take 30-40 minutes before one sees that story. 24 news channels talk a lot with saying nothing, and you also have to see a ton of commercials. Online I can read the story, hear the story, and view the story wihouth having to wait on them and their commercials.

  4. Why They Meed Difficulty in Congress on NASA Hoping To Create Super X-Prizes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The article states the problem NASA is facing: "Under the agency's old way of doing business, officials decided what they wanted built, asked private companies to bid on building it, then awarded a contract to the lower acceptable bidder - who often was located in an important Congressional district." I hope that there is still an honest man in Congress that would push for them to pass a bill to allow NASA to do this.

  5. Re:maybe you forgot what REALLY happened to Delphi on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when you see employees as robots in the cubicle. If you want your employees to stay put, even if the competitor will pay more money, make your employees interact with each other. Make them all feel like a part of a big family. Make them feel needed. Make them feel like army budies feel. They won't trade those bonds for a little more $.

  6. Re:Borland and its IDEs on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 1

    No, I do not need to do more reasearch. I'm aware aware what Delphi 2005 supports. What about C++Builder, Mobile Studio, Kylix, JBuilder, other Java IDEs, CodeWright, etc.? Like I said, they have a ton of IDEs with overlaping functionality.

  7. Borland and its IDEs on Delphi Renaissance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One thing that annoys me about Borland is that they have a bunch of IDEs that overlap. They should unite all of them and have a single IDE similar to how Microsoft has Visual Studio that supports many languages. If you were to buy a bunch of this IDEs to support multiple programmers who want to use their religious language, the price will be higher than Visual Studio, which comes with the same languages except Pascal and Sun's Java.

  8. Beautiful but ugly on Impressive Half Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 1

    It is beautiful, yet it is ugly. Who would want a rusty looking thing around?

  9. White List on Do-Not-Call List Could Be Opened For Phone Spam · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How about this? Mr. Geek develops a telephone with a database of telephone numbers that he wants to accept. Any number that is not on that list is blocked. Basically, it opens and closes the line, so the marketer won't keep the line busy. This should work with Caller ID.

  10. SG-1 Found It. on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: 1, Funny

    I could swear that Stargate SG-1 found the city in another galaxy.

  11. Tactic to get revenue on Novell vs. Microsoft, Again · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is just a tactic to get revenue. This law suit is very late, they should have done that at that time. Also, they don't own WordPerfect anymore. I'd expect Corel to sue them.

  12. M$ 0wn3d on Warezed SoundForge Files In Windows Media Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    You are 0wn3d, you bloody hypocrites!

  13. This Great News on X-prize Award paid · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is great news. However, we all know that the X-Prize works based on donations. I hope that they still have money for daily operations and for future pricez. The X-CUP will require a lot more money than the X-Prize. However, I'm sure that corporations will turn the white space crafts into race cars (full with ads), which should pay for most of the expenses. The SpaceShipOne has the Virgin logo on it.

  14. Optimization First, Features Second on RC4 Code Achieves 319 MB/s On AMD64 Opteron · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wish that every software company would put optimization first and features second. This way, we would not have to buy computers every few years. They can potentially last much longer.

  15. Re:AdBlock on DoubleClick On The Blocks? · · Score: 1

    If he was smart, he would use Goggle ads. Those are the best ads because they are unintrusive, and AdBlock can't block those.

  16. AdBlock on DoubleClick On The Blocks? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    DoubleClick, you can't pass my Firefox's AdBlock! No clicks for you. Muuuuhahhahahahha!

  17. Get Rid Of it.! on NASA Considering Early Retirement of Shuttle Program · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They should have got rid of it as soon as it got off the assembly line. The Shuttle Programme was supposed to create an inexpensive, safe, and reusable rocket. Unfortunatly, they got ripped off. Not only that it is not safe, but it is also highly expensive. And if it explodes/implodes, it is not reusable.

  18. Iressponsible Bastards on ATMs Susceptible to Windows Viruses · · Score: 1

    I think that it is irresponsible for them to put Windows on warships and ATMs. They should use an operating system designed for that specific purpose based on something like vxWorks. They shot themselves in the foot. I wonder how long before ATMs start to spit money left and right all of a sudden. Someone might be able to use a wireless device that tells the Windows ATM to spit money.

  19. Snipped on MP3s From The Phone Box · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The music on those mp3s might be sound of a sniper cocking his riffle. Do you remember Phone-Booth?

  20. Good Job on ISS Expedition 9 Crew Finally Returns to Earth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I guess it is good to be back. Now, they must get used to Earth again. I wonder if the 4 hours of exercise per day they must do in orbit is enough for them to walk on Earth without feeling exausted.

  21. MPEG4 IS A STANDARD IN MY WORLD on SMPTE Adoption Of WMV9 Hits Some Snags · · Score: 1

    I gurantee you that MPEG4 as XVID/DIVX (more XVID than DIVX) is an industry standard in the P2P World.

  22. Hooray for the Engineer on Saving Huygens · · Score: 1

    Engineer 1 : 0 Politics Mission saved!

  23. The steps to create an iPod killer. on Holiday Competition For iPod Dollars · · Score: 1

    1) Clone the iPod interface 2) Add support for all formats 3) Longer lasting accumulator (more than 18 months) 4) Cheaper than the iPod 5) Longer custommer support

  24. Get It Over With on Farscape Returns Sunday · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oooh Farscape! Why doesn't John get married to that alien already so we can have the series end. They keep dragging it and dragging it. It's like a soap opera in space. It's freakin annoying. But I must admit, they do have some sexy Australian/New Zealand aliens on that show.

  25. Great on The Conference Bike · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't wait to see the first accident with that bike. CNN is reporting that "the Microsoft Board of Directors have been ran over by a semi during a meeting on how to destroy Linux. Police are searching for the hit and run driver. According to witnesses, the culprit was a penguin.
