  1. They solved your problem? on Broadcom's Treaty In the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD War · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well what about NEC? http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-10/11/conte nt_5189776.htmChip. Been there done that last month. Any players with it yet? It won't be that easy.

  2. Re:Indian Astronauts on Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion · · Score: 1

    There is nothing much up there? And you know this how?

  3. Re:Propaganda in the UK on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 1

    That program has been out for some time. Even came in movie form. Movie was called Training Day. TV show is called The Shield.

  4. Re:No different than Dell/McAfee on AOL Tries New Tactic to Keep Customers · · Score: 1

    They could be Welsh! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/432873 3.stm They certainly don't want you to "welsh" on your AOL account.

  5. Re:Let a military doc operate on my eye? on The U.S. Navy's Doctrine of Laser Eye Surgery · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is suing for malpractice. Claims JAGs handle these all the time. Many military bases have JAG dedicated to medmal stuff.

  6. Do you play poker? on Apple Pulls Out of India · · Score: 1

    Ever hear of a bluff?

  7. Re:The amount of uranium on Environmentalists Coming Around to Nuclear Power? · · Score: 1

    There is also thorium as well.

  8. Re:Ignorance will not be bliss ... on Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House · · Score: 1

    Americans do care. Or haven't you been reading? When will the Chinese and Indians care? Monsoon anyone?

  9. Re:Is there something Sony should be learning? on Sony DRM and the New Digital Hole · · Score: 1

    When it comes to making money the only time as of recent Sony had it right was with the Playstation 1 and 2. Now they delayed their PS3 to a time when they will have to go head to head not only with Nintendo but with Microsoft who has already selling their unit for longer? The days of sony being right are long gone. Look for them to be split off and sold in pieces.

  10. Separate cans on Torn-up Credit Card Apps Not So Safe · · Score: 1

    When I rip them up I toss the halves into separate trash cans that generally get emptied at different times. I have tossed a few apps into the kids dirty diaper can. If you have to dumpster dive into those, man you must be hurting to be a thief.

  11. Apple also opens doors for accessory makers on Is Apple Trying to Take Over iPod Accessories? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    By dropping the dock and now dropping power cords Apple has allowed accesory makers to step in and make better docks and power cords for use with the pod.

  12. Thorium on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1

    There is a company called Thorium Power working on Thorium powered nuclear reactors. The tech is also proliferation resistant. http://www.thoriumpower.com/english/about/history. htm

  13. Re:"turn over" has two sides on How The U.S. Government Undermined the Internet · · Score: 1

    Depends on the size of the government and how many missiles and guns they have to back up their deman it not be taken away.

  14. Re:Excellent move on The RIAA's Halloween Tricks · · Score: 1

    Maybe you didn't RTFA. Either approved by AA jerks or closed source. This is a double dig at open source.

  15. Re:Ford and GM: not likely on Company Incentives for Going Green? · · Score: 1

    Please do your research before posting. The Ford Hybrid most certainly does get better gas mileage than the regular vehicle. Especially when driven in the city in stop and go traffic the gas mileage is much better. Check out edmunds.com as a start. In addition GM has already developed and marketed prototype pure electric cars. GM also doing quite a bit of R&D in the hydrogen based car area. Anyone with a little bit of reading could have discovered this easily. I am not sure where you pulled your mis-information from.

  16. Re:this Pandora's box can be closed on ABC Affiliates Grapple With TV-Show Downloads · · Score: 1

    And big rich corporations like Disney (owns ABC), GE (owns NBC and also possible to offer content to video iPod) and control their channels have nothing to say about it? I rate you negative 3.

  17. Re:Just put them in your microwave on You Need Not Be Paranoid To Fear RFID · · Score: 1

    The smaller tool you mention is just that, smaller than a nuke. But by no means any more feasible.

  18. Re:That's why I use MythTV on TiVo User's Fears Explored · · Score: 1

    At that point I will stop watching TV. Other stuff can entertain me instead. Screw them.

  19. Re:Will there be any early adopters? on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 1

    PS3 sales will not be enough to drive movie studios to print the titles. They want non-game hardware sales to tell the tale first. Althought you might get a Spiderman 3 game out of the deal.

  20. Re:Well you won't have to on Blu-Ray To Punish Users for Modifying Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know what will happen with this is that people will stop buying regular DVDs since they are waiting for the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD fight to pan out and they don't want to buy something that is "soon to be outdated". Well the movie studios will claim piracy up the wazoo and force the winner of the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray battle to put some downright brutal DRM restrictions on stuff they sell. Our wishes and desires mean nothing to the scumbags.

  21. Re:Just Cringley being an Apple fanboy again on Has Google Peaked? · · Score: 1

    Sure Apple is a bit player. But Microsoft needs to borrow their innovation. As for the "coup de grace" comment. The Apple going out of business for 20 years was lame 10 years ago. Your saying it now does not improve it any.

  22. Mind you on The Decline of Science and Technology in America · · Score: 1

    Mind you, these are only the last death spasms of organized religion as we know it. No, not the belief in God. But organized religion is dying out and it is spasmotically flailing about as best as it can on its last dying breaths. An entity as large as it is, will take a bit of time to do its last flails.

  23. One can hope on HighDef Content to Require New Monitors · · Score: 1

    One can hope the Chinese come out with their own Hi-def DVD format without the DRM crap and that the independent movie and music makers jump on that instead. The Chinese have a huge potential market here. Eventually the hollywood dumfuks would learn their lesson the hard way.

  24. Re:A Dangerous Game--Payin!?! on Microsoft Leveraging iPod Patent? · · Score: 1

    Paying for FAT licenses? BS. They probably exchanged them through cross licensing. This whole patent topic involving Microsoft and Apple has gone way off target. This is a non-event, move one.

  25. Re:You serious??? on Another Theory on Apple's Move To Intel · · Score: 1

    And of course he mentions Microsoft will be using IBM Power chips for their Xbox. Well if Microsoft wants the TNC on the PC side why would they not want it for their Xbox as well since that will have online capability and I am sure they would want to prevent viruses, piracy etc. etc. So if they want it they would tell IBM to put it on their CPUs as well and Apple could go about and use that if they wanted to.
