  1. Re:First thing I thought about... on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Obama's greatness is yet to come. Judge him in four years.

  2. Re:Not so sure ... on Negroponte's Talk at Emerging Technology Conference · · Score: 1

    Many textbooks can cost upwards or exceed $100.

  3. Re:Why oh why XML? on Moving Sensor Data Onto The Internet With SensorML · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait! Hold on, back up. HTML is XML, so it obviously is working for the majority of data transfers. Secondly, why would anyone give direct access to a DB? The slow connections of a DB are not suitable for presenting data to the public. I am sure many of the Web Services, extract the data, then cache it, or write it to disk, then present the same data to the world. Sure a better solution to XML may exist, but it is not reading directly from a DB. For now, Vive Le XML.

  4. RE: PayPal's Morals? on Paypal Charged Under PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    Although they deem it ok to do business with illegal gambling, they do not deem it okay to do business with anti-war sites.

    I boycotted Paypal since I found out they are not supporting anti-war sites. Also, their affiliated company, eBay will release your buying habits and information to the gov't without a subpeona or telling you. I stay away from them also.

  5. Is google still a valid search? on Dissecting Localized Google Censorship · · Score: 1

    Until they are considered a public service, Google has the right to censor as a private company, just as Disney does. The question we should be asking is, "Is google producing relevant searches and if not, what are our alternatives?"
