  1. Re:It sucked on Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening · · Score: 3, Funny

    True, it wasn't much like the first one....But is that so bad? Wasn't it still a good movie? Besides, it has to be a hacker movie, because the Wachowski bros. don't know a sex scene from their asses!

  2. Specifically how do they protect this "patent"? on Verisign Granted DNS Lookup Patent · · Score: 1

    So does that mean every coder who writes a similar program will get canned? Or are they patenting hexdumps? Or is it an algorithm patent? And exactly how strongly does VeriSign plan to force its will on other people? Will they enforce it at all, and if they do, will they be active in seeking out violators? The world worries...

  3. Re:Does speed matter? on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    Yah, that's why its really an index, not a search engine. But the thought is nice.

  4. Re:yeah I know on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    I think the point is that they can radically change the formatting of your search results. The problem with this though is that it threatens the very reason most of us use Google-it's simplicity. Can you imagine google turning into *gasp* Yahoo?

  5. Re:Let me guess... on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, They'll replace the pigeons with roadrunners.

  6. There is hope out there... on Environmental Costs of Computer Use? · · Score: 1

    Many locales are starting to see activity in respect to recycling. Here in San Diego County, there is are recyclers ready to offer services, i.e. this one . You could also check the local waste management service, which might have a curbside pick-up service (we used to here, but not anymore). With the rise in computer usage, and therefore computer throwage, there is also a rise in recycling opportunities. All you have to do is look for them.

  7. Re:Oregon doesn't have a Sales Tax on California Senate Approves Net Tax Bill · · Score: 1
    Nevada, man, Nevada.
    • No Sales Tax
    • A young and growing technology sector
    • and Las Vegas.
    Any other reasons?
  8. Re:moving on out? on California Senate Approves Net Tax Bill · · Score: 1
    • The legislators of California, in all their wisdom, have applied a common mantra to the budget crisis: "Let's tax the rich sods in Silicon Valey!"
    • The e-commerce/technology sectors have already begun to escape California like rats from a ship. This bill will only encourage that further, robbing the state of a demographic that has contributed much to our state. Perhaps it is time for me to leave...
  9. Re:monkeys and typewriters on Six Monkeys And An Old Saw · · Score: 1

    The concept makes sense for an experienced typist who would always position his hands in the center row. But a primate would just hit keys anywhere... The point of the Infinite Monkey Theorom is that it is possible for something random to appear inteligent, not that it is likely or even experimentally feasible.
