  1. Oracle Investigation Grows on Oracle Investigation Grows · · Score: 2
    I was so happy about this. I thought they were finally going to get that annoying Miss Cleo off the air.

    I'll settle for Larry Ellison.

  2. Holy crap! Got laid off from this company! on "Industry Standard" Paycuts in IT? · · Score: 2
    I won't mention they company I was employed with when acquired by divine last year. Imagine. I bought into their stock plan. Heh!

  3. The bit stuff, explain to a layman. TIA on AMD's x86-64 Moves Forward · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Anyone here to give a good reason not to have 128 or 256 bit processors? Video game consoles have them. Wouldn't it be kickass?

  5. If you got over 3,000 bucks you may get one. on The PC, Xbox, PS2, GameCube and 2600, Together at Last · · Score: 3, Informative
    Here

    It won't do XBOX or PS2 natively, but you have every other emulator that you can think of.

  6. Why are these people complaining about 80 cents? on Net Phones Taking Off in the Third World · · Score: 4, Funny
    I am calling and paying 3.99 a minute to speak to a girl I don't know, but she tells me I'm her boyfriend. Yea. That's it.

  7. This works for books because.... on Sharing Doesn't Hurt · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Reading entire novels on your computer screen will never be as comfortable as curling up on the couch or bed.
    People start reading Eric Flints books online, get tired of the computer screen, like the book and purchase it.
    Then they comfortably read the book via the aforementioned places.
    This won't work successfully for all medium like music as has already been demonstated.

  8. Posted by typingsux on Thursday April 04, @06:18PM on DivX and MP3 Developers Work Together on Watermarks · · Score: 1
    from the not-so-strange-bedfellows dept. An Anonymous Coward writes: "The DivX and MP3 hackers are working on a way to remove the digital watermarking techniques together... Ogg anyone?"

  9. Works for me. on Usenet Encoding: yEnc · · Score: 1
    Free pictures. pRon. Software. Pyr8ted. Simply. yenc makes it easier and faster to get. Good for me. The author seems bitter since he's a developer that made a similar software and didn't get it implemented on a wide scale. It's out there, and this webpage created out of jealousy will not do anything to stop it. Who made it the standard of RARing the files when they are large? Or HJsplit? (RAR appearing to be the preferred method.) Definitely newer: Who made PAR files? (Love them BTW.) Much less begging for fills, if ever. Moving forward. That's how I see it. So take your whiny commentary down, Mr Jeremy Nixon.

  10. Re:Agent on Usenet Encoding: yEnc · · Score: 1

    I wish I didn't blow my mod points or you'd get one from me.
    I have played with Xnews, grabber, newsbin. Agent for some reason I like best. Now with yenc support it's over for me. Back to agent.

    I chopped up some:
    bacon
    ham
    chopmeat
    bologna
    moldy bread
    Some leftovers from the fridge

    Mixed it in a pan, and left it in the oven for an hour.

    It tasted just like spam.

    Oh well.

  16. Spoilage warning: plot discussed, not ending. on Collateral Damage · · Score: 2, Funny
    This is a big coincidence? Arnie made a movie with a plot?

    That spoils it for me on its own.

  17. Ethical dilemma. on Modern Day Noah's Ark Dying · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is it the natural order of things for man to come along, industrialize, and cause extinction of thousands of species?
    Is it the natural order of things for when man has technological enough assets to save genetic material to resurrect long gone species?
    Or since it is mans fault for the extinction of a diverse number of animals is it our responsibility to have facilities such as this?

  22. I read through this whole thing. on Space Tourist Standards · · Score: 1
    I don't understand.


    I should think one of the criteria is the amount of flatulence you create in a given period, on average.


    There is no getting away from it in a space capsule.


    We may see in our history the first jettison of a fellow astronaut if we're not careful.

  25. near miss? on Another Asteroid Close Call · · Score: 0, Redundant
    There's no such thing as a near miss.
