  1. Re:How long until... on Skype 1.0 For Windows Released, Updated Linux Beta · · Score: 1

    Not too long! what you REALLY need is this Motorola phone.. one for the home and the same one for the road! Motorola's Wifi Phone

  2. Re:Who didn't see this coming? on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    And the cost of seeing it in a full-size screen.. think theater is only $8-$10!

  3. Re:Why would I buy the HP model? on No WMA for HP iPod · · Score: 1

    Cos then you would get a cheap player when you buy your WINDOWS PC as well... in some ways, the mega-operators on both sides.. OS and MUSIC!

  4. Re:I use good passwords, and here's how on Real Security? · · Score: 1

    I put down my complicated password on a post-it too! except... I jumble it up with sentences and SEE a pattern in the jumble.. that way, it is there on a post-it right next to my PC and no-body else can figure it out too! After I have memorised my password sufficiently, the post-it is shredded!

  5. Re:Simple on South Korea Jumps To Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Even simpler would be to buy the country itself.. which I am sure Microsoft can do!

  6. Re:Poor little you ! on One Worldwide Power Grid · · Score: 1

    hmm...you can only appreciate light if you have seen darkness! get used to it... cos the problem will only get worse!

  7. Re:Uhm, right... on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 1

    Most folks just check the "Dont Send" button 99% of the time!

  8. Walk around! on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    There are prgs like 10,000 steps a day which aim to increase your activity by walking and thus reduce your weight AND increase metabolism AND improve health. Dont look at the stomach all the time and feel depressed or feel pressured to do those crunches etc. As you burn calories, you will gradually lose weight. Think of a car.. where do you put the fuel.. and where does it actually burn?

  9. Gotta Start Someplace! on EU Rolls out Anti Spam Strategy · · Score: 1

    Just start posting the senators', congress men/women's email ids ANYPLACE spambots roam! Once they start getting the p0rn0 junk, they will start to think about acting on it! Then again, they just might legitamize the thing! (Think Bill cLinton).. my 2 cents worth!

  10. Safety Record? on China Accelerates Mars Program · · Score: 1

    Before you start off looking at other countrys' safety records... see US first. It was a LONG time before the US got its rocket science correct! Same with the atomic bombs too! They had to blow up close to 700 or so nuclear devices till they knew how to make a bomb! Compared to this, China and India have made the same grade (in rockets) with far fewer failures than US. Just because the past failures were not reported (due to lack of media) doesnot mean US was a huge success right away.

  11. Re:OMAP vs XScale - On the mark ! on Handspring Shows Treo 600 Smartphone at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    For those drooling on XSCALE.. Intel used the same Phz rating for its PCs before it figured out that Mhz isnot always same as performance and now you see new mobile chips which do more per clk cycle... DUH!!What was AMD saying then?
    In the smartphone category, having a single processor do everything is tough! DSP is designed to do mp3, video etc faster and with less power. the ARM is designed for user interface stuff fast! Put those two together and you get a cool performance. Think about it as using a sports car for racing and a truck for hauling stuff. You need to use the right tool for the right job! Try hauing a boat with the Corvette and you will figure out why the XSCALE WILL suck multitasking!

  12. Company subscription? on Welcome to the Safari Jungle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You told us how the system works and that it seems to be a great way to be up to date and not waste space.

    do they have any company subscription plans which a major company can subscribe to.. so that its employees dont have to pay for it? This might be helpful to even start a virtual technical library similar to the public libraries out there... except that they you wont find Clive Cussler out there.

    Coming to think of it, if that occurs, companies can cram more employees into the same amount of space.. cos hey... your cube space just got smaller as you dont need to maintain any printed material at all !! One chair and desk would do... with wireless access and laptops. You would get up only to switch batteries or go to the restroom!!

  13. Wi-Fi to become Hi-fi !! on Reflections · · Score: 1

    With this tech, wi-fi in high-rises can be used by on the ground low-tech mobile users! warchalking to be taken to great new heights !!
