  1. And in other news... on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1, Insightful

    respect for Asimov's work hits rock bottom!

  2. Re:AWESOME! on X43-A on to Mach 10 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since it will probably be a suicide mission, let me be the first to nominate Ballmer! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPAAAGGHHHHHHH!

  3. Bio tech too! on Tour De France Showcases Multitude Of Tech · · Score: 3, Insightful
  4. Wide range laser-tag on Modding Laser Tag Gear? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here's a mod i just thought of. Go about your daily business. Provide each player with a locator and a gun. Rig the locators to let you know when an opponent (also with a locator) is within a certain range (ie. 50 yds.). Begin panicked drawing of gun and be the first to find and kill the opponent. You must carry the gear at all times, and you must play regardless of your location, say in a classroom or at a wedding. This might be sweet as a campus-wide game. Even better if you don't know who the opponents are!

  5. Proof is in the Pudding on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 5, Funny

    "IE's slow rendering engine "
    Sad but true. The review page has been loading for almost a minute now :(

  6. Sad Cliche on Americans Read Fewer Books · · Score: 1

    Remeber that commercial with the native american on the horse. He sees a peice of litter float by and turns to the camera with a single tear running down his cheek? Replace the litter with a book. This is a really disheartening discussion. We need another Charlemagne. Literacy was a key component of his popularity and ability to keep the poulace happy. Reading is a gift all too often taken for granted. Shame on all of us, I guess. Sorry to be sappy, but this is damned depressing. The richest country on the face of the planet. Nice work. And I'm Canadian.

  7. Blast! on Mozilla/Firefox Bug Allows Arbitrary Program Execution · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Note that this only affects users of Mozilla and Firefox on Windows XP or Windows 2000"...there goes a perfectly good Ha-Ha!. You've bested me this time *NIX...But you haven't seen the last of ME! BWAHAHA!

  8. Re:Personally on TiVo vs. Windows Media Center Edition · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "Even if eventually MCE became the better product? (god of technology forbid)"
    Wouldn't it be a good thing to see MS bring out a product worth supporting? It's an awful lot of energy wasted trying to dislike something. Maybe they could earn the #1 spot for a change.

  9. Impoverished or not on Impoverish a Spammer Today · · Score: 5, Funny

    they should be able to survive just fine according to the SPAM nutrition fact sheet

  10. Re:hate to point out the obvious... on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 0

    Agreed. This is about as crappy as customer service gets, methinks. I am off to check their TOS.

  11. hate to point out the obvious... on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 3, Informative

    Microsoft closed the account immediately, without investigating.
    They own the account! Not to mention, it's a free account...you get what you pay for. Caveat Emptor, Greg...

  12. Upon further research on Microsoft Patents The Body Bus · · Score: 5, Funny

    They are also patenting the human built-in telescopic antenna array. Unfortunately, it will only be available to approximately 50% of the population.

  13. Re:Pot, kettle on Red Hat Announces Certified Architect Curriculum · · Score: 1

    The exam I took (1998) was 10% MS, 10% Apple and the rest was General (IRQ's etc). I assume it's been updated. I stand corrected :)

  14. Re:Pot, kettle on Red Hat Announces Certified Architect Curriculum · · Score: 1

    Well, the CompTIA certs (A+ Netwok+ etc.), although kinda entry level, tend to be broad theory, rather than product specific.

  15. Why wait till 2011! on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Build your own railgun Today! Kids love this one!

  16. For HDTV n00bs... on ATi HDTV Tuner For The PC Arrives · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's all the dirt on HDTV. Read and enjoy :)

  17. Prime example on Meet Joe Blog · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most Blogs are uber-forgettable ego stroking crap, but the truth in this statement - "some guy in his underwear with too much free time can take down a Washington politician" - can been seen in tons of places. A prime example of the influence a joe-nobody can weild is Harry Knowles. Check him out Here. Maybe not technically a blog, but the concept is the same, and this guy has ended up on the list of the 100 most influential people in Hollywood.

  18. Re:Non-ISP-Internet on Testing ISP Censorship · · Score: 2, Informative

    not sure if you are kidding or not, but you can find some good info on becoming your own ISP Here.

  19. Earning my nerd stripes on NASA's Personal Satellite Assistants · · Score: 5, Informative

    Wrong SW droid man! The IT-0 droid in that link is a torture droid. You will find the correct Training Remote Here. May the Force be with YOU!

  20. The world gets together to talk on Look Inside A PC-killing WIPO Treaty · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and look what they choose to do with it. *sigh*

  21. We'll see... on DARPA Announces Grand Challenge 2005 · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Should be a very interesting Challenge next year!" ...more so if anyone finishes

  22. Re:Better? on Shareaza 2.0 Released Under GPL · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not too sure if this is what you were asking, but I think spyware is a non-issue with Sharezaa. This is from the PR:
    "it made some important technical improvements, broke some new ground with an original P2P network, "upped the ante" with many of its competitors and probably contributed to the growing trend away from "heavy spyware bundling".

  23. This is why he rules... on The Thermochemical Joy of Cooking · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the article:
    "What other chef writes a script in which he gets punched in the head by Boxing Nun puppets named Tender and Flaky, as they fight over whether the two textural qualities can coexist in one pie crust?" Truly an American Icon :-P

  24. Theory first, Platform second on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not start with basic programming theory? There are a number of good books on learning the logic and purpose behind programming. I've found that without fundamental skills, the learning curve is very steep.

  25. Damn shame on End Of Development For Grsecurity Announced? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Chalk up another boot to the nuts for the little guy. Good luck to them in the future :(
