  3. Re:In Soviet USA on US Warns Olympic Visitors of Chinese Cyber-Spying · · Score: 1
    This would be fine if it warned US citizens about the US government's invasive Internet and telecomm spying.

    So you're going to ignore the likelihood of being spied on by the chinese because there's a chance the US government might be spying on you?

  4. Violent jihadists materials on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote in an opinion piece published last month in USA Today that "the most dangerous contraband is often contained in laptop computers or other electronic devices." Searches have uncovered "violent jihadist materials" as well as images of child pornography, he wrote.

    Isn't violent jihadists material more likely to be transmitted over the internets?

  5. It's not the colors on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    If your eyes are burning, it's because you need vision correction. If you already wear glasses or contacts, you need to get your number re-evaluated. I had this problem before I had lasik. Now my vision was 16/20(they overcorrect) and I've never had that problem since. Ambient light may play a part too.

  10. Re:Why do you need upconverting? on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 1

    If you do that, the picture won't be clear. It'll appear pixelated.

  11. Upconverting is good enough for me. on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have a good HDTV and I'm quite happy with my upconverting DVD player. I don't see the point in spending 300-400$ on a bluray player.

  12. Re:I declare a fatwah! on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    In this and only this case, polytheists (there is no mention of all other categories you have attributed to the term "wrong-doers" so broadly) have to abandon their idol-worshiping.
    Yeah. Idol worshipers are fine if they give up their idol worshiping. Which means hindus and buddhists are fine as long as they stop being hindus and buddhists.

  13. Why would sony lower costs? on Cell Hits 45nm, PS3 Price Drop Likely to Follow · · Score: 1

    Now that blu-ray has won the format wars and a PS3 gives you a gaming console AND a blu-ray player in one bundle, why would Sony lower costs? Wouldn't they just e happy with the higher profits?

    I heard hitler used his mouth to eat his breakfast. I've been thinking about switching to a different orifice.

  17. Re:Sounds interesting, but any hope of US? on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If every motorcycle/two-wheeler in a city like Bombay was replaced by this car, traffic would grind to a complete halt. So, in that respect, this car would make the roads safer. You just wouldn't be able to get anywhere.

  18. This is idiotic on Is Web 2.0 A Bigger Threat Than Outsourcing? · · Score: 1
    that can help people get things done without involving IT.

    I work on the internal web based applications of a major telecom company. How exactly is a mashup going to replace software that I build? Will a mashup handle online trades? Will a mashup replace the vast amounts of backend software that works behind the scenes of most companies?

  22. Invasion of privacy? on New York Taxi Drivers To Strike Over GPS · · Score: 1

    How is this an invasion of their privacy? I read TFA and nothing in it says the government can track the cabs using the GPS receivers in real time. They're already turning in their route maps according to the conditions of their license.

  23. Re:Is this article meant to be flamebait? on Get Ready For the High-tech Beach · · Score: 1

    Absolutely right. And Wi-Fi internet was Hi-Tech maybe 6 years ago.
