  1. Atari founder? on Atari Founder Proclaims the End of Gaming Piracy · · Score: 1

    Cool.
    We'll just plug in the atari joystick and use it to break the encryption easily.
    Behold the power of the mighty Atari joystick.

  2. Re:Wow on Blogger Incites Outcry Over Twitter Harassment · · Score: 4, Interesting

    me thinks the "blogger" is just trying to maintain or increase traffic to her site - thinking she's somewhat important.

    One interesting tidbit is that she works for Pownce. I do know that this harassment started before she worked for Pownce. Yet I do see that the conflict of interest is in there now if she continues to press her case. She is free to close her twitter account and utilize pownce fully.

  3. Can all this tech on Big Rigs Go High Tech · · Score: 0

    Can all this tech stuff prevent truckers from swinging in front of me in the left lane when there's no one behind me for miles?
    And then they would proceed to take forever to pass the slower vehicle and move back in the right lane so I can finally move on.

  4. why on Author Faces Canadian Tribunal For Hate Speech · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why is this on slashdot? i don't see anything nerdy or tech about this news.

  6. I don't have a problem on Bill Gates On the GPL — "We Disagree" · · Score: 1

    I don't have a problem with his comments/opinion

    I will mind if they translate this opinion into a form of policy to restrict our ability to develop open source and limit our choices in other areas of the computing world.

  7. puritian influences on JFK, LAX To Test Millimeter-Wave Scanners · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I see the Puritan influences is still pervasive and strong in this country regarding our bodies.

  8. Back to the 1970's again on South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal · · Score: 1

    with the proliferation of online videos which are great - however it feels like I'm back in the 1970's with the lack of closed captions.
    Many deaf and hoh feel this way and luckily we are working to deal with this problem.
    Would be nice if South Park pioneered the captioning of videos though like Spelling did with his shows in the 80's.
    The benefits are enormous and there's no downside.

  9. Sounds like a good idea on DARPA Funds Development on Modular Satellite Network · · Score: 1

    coupled with the recent success of a satellite refueling another satellite in space.
    Can see a satellite change its capability in space from one job function to another and get a boost in fuel to stay up there long term.

  10. Re:quick on IBM Wants To Patent Restaurant Waits · · Score: 1

    think of the free beer!!!

  11. quick on IBM Wants To Patent Restaurant Waits · · Score: 1

    someone better patent rewards such as free beer for long bathroom waits.

  12. tom's hardware on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 1

    people still read that site? I thought it had faded away or was that Anand?

  13. It seems to me on How Apple Rumors Became Reality · · Score: 1

    that Jobs just didn't think too much of the new laptop within his reality distortion field.

    His keynote speech seemed less enthusiastic than it was in the past especially compared to last year with the iPhone

    Perhaps Jobs saw the new notebook as another product to fill in the notebook offerings from Apple. I also sensed he was more into Apple TV and the rental scheme.

    Or perhaps I've built up a barrier against his reality distortion field.

  14. Closed Captioning on Netflix and iTunes Rentals Aiming At Different Crowds · · Score: 2, Informative

    My concern with Netflix and iTunes rental is closed captioning.

    I contacted both and it seems the movies are not captioned and they do not know if it'll be in the near future.

    Arghhh.. back to the drawing board.

  15. Be on Researchers Create Beating Heart In Lab · · Score: 1

  16. perhaps microsoft will stamp one of these on The Setup Behind Microsoft.com · · Score: 1

    "hacker tested" icons we see all over at various e-commerce sites then?

  17. Re:Yes and no, sorta on Yahoo! Answers, A Librarian's Worst Nightmare · · Score: 1

    How do you know if "more and more schoolkids are using these as a substitute for learning or thinking for themselves?"

    Can you cite any reference?

    To me it seems that at least they are looking up answers on their own and there's always a possibility that they would research the answers further via google or any other sources.

    I trust human nature.. no it's not perfect but I think lot of people will survive even with Yahoo! Answers.

  18. Onion Article on A Look at Microsoft's Security War Room · · Score: 1

    For a moment I thought it was from The Onion ..

    Everything Microsoft has done is just funny (Balmer's dances, Zune Squirt, and this)..

    Who needs The Onion when we got Microsoft

  19. Ah Robert Cringley on AT&T Playing Hardball With Apple? · · Score: 4, Informative

    That should set off alarm bells in your head. A lot of his columns lately have been filled with nothing but pure speculation based on nothing but gut feeling or reading tea leaves.
    I tend to ignore his columns when he goes off like that. If he talks about upcoming technology then I'll read it.

  20. Privacy Advocates on Google's Gdrive Raises Instant Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Privacy Advocates = One law professor in Israel.
    So where are the "raised eyebrows among privacy advocates worldwide" ?
    Like many people have said in this thread - don't like it, don't use it.

  21. Re:No experience necessary? on Google's Young Brainiacs Go Globe-Trotting · · Score: 1

    but i can pull out an agp card lol

  22. Venture Capital Firms' Spending on Web 2.0 Bubble May Be Worst Burst Yet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would look into this - is it as crazy as it was back then? I don't see many IPO's with paper millionairs appearing overnight and going bust just as fast. Nor I see many massive hiring of naive and unskilled workers with inflated salaries. I'm sure the latter is still happening but I don't see it on the scale we saw in the 90's. So if there's a bust - I don't think it'll have a big impact as it did back then. I could be wrong though.

  23. hmm on Supercomputer On-a-Chip Prototype Unveiled · · Score: 1

    how about naming it Vizi?

  24. Yep and not only that I would add a mini-banner on Will You Change Your Web Site For the iPhone? · · Score: 1

    that goes on the top, left side, and bottom of the page declaring the site eto be "iPhone Friendly".
    I would add a feature where the user touches the banner on the screen, it acts like a iPhone with swiped scenes left and right and so on.

  25. Choices on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 1

    While I won't use Safari on Windows much, I do welcome the addition.

    I like to see the browser market filled with different choices so people can decide for themselves what they want.

    After all I do not want to go back to the days when there were not much to choose from. So the more the merrier.

    Just hope Apple will remain committed and see the beta version evolve to a working, vibrant browser.
