  1. Some people are habitually polite? Wow. Thanks. Good to know.

  2. Will they take my left arm in payment? on Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises · · Score: 1

    That's got to be the most exciting tech toy I've heard of in a long time. Kudos to those bringing this to life.

  3. Wow, that's 102 times faster than my crappy DSL. on Cablevision To Offer 101 Mbps Down, No Caps · · Score: 1

    What a huge discrepancy there is between the sweet spots and rural areas. At least I have DSL now. Dial-up speeds over our crap phone line were often 9.6kbps. It was like 1991 all over again.

  4. Sure, let Apple pay! on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    'These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it. So it's time to get paid for it.' OK, so once Apple pays for the "stolen" music, iPod users must legally own the music, right? Let the free downloading begin! No? They want money from Apple and from legal buyers? Imagine that.

  5. Since antiboitics would never work on a virus... on Timely Book On Bird Flu · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I guess this isn't really news.

  6. Re:Inside the email client? on IBM to Adopt ODF for Lotus Notes · · Score: 1

    No one ever said relational databases and flat databases were the same thing. Domino (the Notes server) can use DB2 as its repository, if you so choose. Data from a number of other relational sources can be accessed and written to (e.g. Oracle). It's advisable to know something about what you're going off on.

  7. Re:Maybe, just maybe... on IBM to Adopt ODF for Lotus Notes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sounds like you have lots of experience using Lotus Notes for your email... and no other experience with Notes. If that's the case, you don't even know what Lotus Notes is. You only know what the eMail database is.

    Yack, yack, yack.

  8. Re:Ha Ha USA! on Airbus Launches 800 Passenger Jumbo Jet · · Score: 1

    Ha Ha?? Airbus isn't saying any such thing. Their biggest concern, now that it's ready, is that someone (a LOT of someones) will want to buy it.

  9. I'm red in the face... on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 1

    I just found another reply from Mar. 6 with the current address for the Berkeley archive. MAN, do I hate it when people like -me- don't bother reading other posts before putting in their two cents. Sorry, all.

  10. http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/ on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 1

    In the past, I've always checked http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/ first when looking for recipes. Unfortunately, it seems to be gone. Is anyone else familiar with this resource? Do any of you have any idea what happened to the site?

    If it's no longer available, it's a shame. This was the only site I had to recommend.

  11. Dish network reception... on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 2, Informative

    After moving a few years ago, a "professional" Dish installer put up a new dish for me. I would lose signal in heavy rain. This had never happened to me before. I corrected the problem by A) adjusting the dish, so that it actually pointed at the satellites (One satellite dish - two satellites. It's a good thing), and B) replacing some corroded connectors. Never had a problem since (even in Rochester, NY snowstorms). And yeah - NASA is channel 213.
