  1. How many times do we have to hear about DRM?? on RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you don't want drm, buy the cd and rip.

    I'm sure they've heard all the reasons. Why not just ask them at a rate of $20 per hour.

  5. Another reason why VMWare is the... on Oracle Kills Virtual Iron · · Score: 1

    only commercial solution if you want long term support. Can't depend on MS (Virtual PC anyone? Now MS VS?), can't depend on Oracle. These and RedHat/Novell have other product lines to distract. At least VMWare continues to support their products (patches, migration paths) and is single-minded in their focus.

  8. Re:While good in one way on Why Kindle 2's Screen Took 12 Years and $150 Million · · Score: 4, Insightful

    except that theory indicates the harm to the first business. In this case, the first business' business model is broken - (subscription based-news) due to technology. Lowering costs does not fix the business model. If you want to salvage a newspaper, they HAVE to rethink their model.

  9. While good in one way on Why Kindle 2's Screen Took 12 Years and $150 Million · · Score: 1, Insightful

    the summary doesn't seem to indicate that while saving tons on printing press per year, you'll be costing businesses down the line money, lost jobs (think ink, delivery, machinery engineers), etc.... So while it may save one type of business, it may put others on the street.

  11. Re:When will you get it right? on Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Then I think the "right to privacy" route is the wrong track to take. Instead, any removal should be based on protections from abuse. Otherwise you begin to trample on "rights" in the other direction, ie. How long before it is an invasion to take pictures in public if others are captured in your image. It's all about a good balance.

  12. When will you get it right? on Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There is NO expectation of privacy when you are in public. Security cameras, when placed in common public areas are no problem. Heck, I can video tape you all I want on a street corner, as long as it is for my own private amusement.

  14. Re:"All traces of George W. Bush disappeared" on We're In Danger of Losing Our Memories · · Score: 2, Funny

    Statements like yours really shows YOUR ignorance. Whether you are Repub/Demo Bush/Obama makes no difference. The office of President alone cannot control the economy of the Federal Governement. And certainly has no control over where you choose to bank, etc.... Civics 101 - There's Congress, the Senate and the Executive branch - and oh yeah, the Judicial who judges those items that overstep their bounds. And guess what? There are both dems/repubs in all of the above.

  22. This isn't about free speech on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 5, Insightful

    in my opinion. You do not have the right to torment an individual like this anymore than you have a right to yell "Fire" in a crowded theater or "I have a bomb" in an airport. AT some point, the safety of others does override your right to "free" speech.

  23. Re:Poor choice of words on New Results Contradict Long-Held Chemistry Dogma · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Really? For science I rather find the more we understand, the more we realize we don't understand. Science is full of unexplained holes that theories postulate answers for. 500+ years ago scientists thought the earth was flat. Scientific theories only hold out until something else comes along with more facts that change our understanding. My 2 cents.

  24. Re:Treadmill on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree here. 30 minutes at 8mph (4 miles). Burns approx 450-500 calories. Then some sit ups and push ups. Top it off with 20 minutes of stairs. About an hour to an hour and a half and you've burnt approx 600-800 calories. Keeping weight down is simply a matter of burning more calories than you consume. If you begin to look at everything you eat as calories you'll need to burn (ie, 5 more minutes on the treadmill), you'll know what and when to cut things from your diet.
