  1. Google? on Overture To A Patent War? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    So what's to become of Google? Could this force them to shut down overnight?

  2. The RIAA contest on Instant Messaging Giveaway · · Score: 3, Funny

    In other news, the RIAA has said it plans on randomly sueing a user every hour that's logged into the Kazaa network for $1,000. To enter the contest, just be sure your not using Kazaa and you can increase your odds of keeping your $1,000.

  3. WiFi on Cheap Dial-Up ISPs Gain Ground · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hopefully, WiFi should make connecting to the internet from around the world a painless alternative to dial-up. Of course, I would expect small charges to access them. But I don't see why you couldn't have 1 hour access for a few bucks. That should be enough time to grab your e-mail and small documents over VPN to the local drive.

  4. Re:Child porn on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 1

    Wow, even something as insightful as this could be modded down as a troll. I guess the truth hurts!

  5. Child porn on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ok, this is VERY SICK!!! But, we all know such bastards out there. And the moment some sick-fuck gets cought downloading this crap from WiFi, laws will passed to ensure liability.

  6. The secrets of slime on MIT Researchers Build A Robotic Snail · · Score: 2, Funny

    "MIT scientists try to unlock the medical secret of slime" If you really want the answer to that, just observe attorneys in action.

  7. Next model on Office Surveillance: Locating And Tracking 802.11b · · Score: 1

    Your getting ahead of yourself there buddy. Those features are for the NEXT years model. If your the only one on the market with a unique product, why out-inovate yourself out of potential profit?

  8. Could be worse... on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 1

    ...it could have been lightning that struck it! Imagine it comming alive like Johnny #5.

  9. Who ever has the most $.. on Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...wins. So when are there going to be e-bay only items for auction rather then in the game. For example, you have to pay for that uber rare item as it would never be found in the game. If Lucas Arts held such auctions, that would act as a second form of revenue rather thne just though monthly payments from players.

  10. Adapters on Low Power FM Report Rejects Interference Concerns · · Score: 1

    What about those FM adapters that alows you to play any device through an FM channel. Basically, it's a replacement for those CD to tape addapters.

  11. Re:Don't eat them on Drifting Bath Toys Expected To Hit New England · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Eventually, they will poop them out.

  12. The perfect WMD on Request for Cosmic Collision Insurance · · Score: 1

    Seriously. With todays technology, I don't see how hard it would be to attach a retro-rocket to an astroid. From there, you do your math calculations and fire that puppy off to full burn. If your calculations are correct, you can take out a city of your choice and no one would be the wiser. Of course, this would be a good way to melt the ice on mars too. Just lug a few rocks to that planet while your at it.

  13. Q3 benchmarks on Ten Lies About Microprocessors · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about Quake3 FPS benchmarks. OMG! *everyone* knows that only the Q3 benchmark can prove with processor is better. To say otherwise is blasphemy!

  14. Re:When terrorists hack on Linux-Controlled Segway Robot · · Score: 1

    I actually got a laugh when I saw that. What a way to promote a product that have the most important person (in the eyes of the American public) nearly fall flat on his face. Talk about bad publicity for something deemed as revolutionary.

  15. Re:Women hate intelligence on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    This is very true. In fact, I'm a subscriber to emode (online dating thing) and I can't keep track at the number of times I see "Turn offs: yada yada yada, and BRAINIACS." Well fine then, FUCK YOU (I think to myself). I sware, I want a women that makes me feel important, and I sware to god, I will do the same for her. I do NOT want baggage or have my pride stripped from me. To all you American women, I hope you are reading this.

  16. Nuke Me on USS Ronald Reagan Commissioning Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Ya, and it would be like painting a bulls-eye on it that says "Nuke Me". Nothing fancy, just a simple low yield fission bomb (by todays technology standards).

  17. *Was* the oldest on Oldest Planet Ever Discovered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It may be the oldest planet on record based on visiuals from it's light that finally reached Earth for observation. But in reality, the star could have turned super nova for all we know. Again, what we are seeing is a delay in observation.

  18. Palm Pilot on Repel Bugs With Your Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    What about an application for the Palm Pilots? That tiny speaker should be good enough to reproduce high pitch sounds, right?

  19. Alien pr0n on SETI Gains Respect, NASA Funding · · Score: 2, Funny

    More like "We have over 80 YodaBytes of porn. Will trade our collection of 5 breasted sexy hairy slugs for your stuff"

  20. The grand plan on Webcaster Alliance Threatens To Sue RIAA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The grand plan in the current music industry is to condition people over many generations to a specific..managible genre of music. AKA SPAM-IN-CAN CorpRock Musak. It makes perfect marketing sense. If you can manage and control what users listen to, then you can better predict your profit margins. Ever notice how all the "Alternative" music sounds the same of the past 15 years? Utter crap. And to add more salt to the wound, there is even talk in the industry to scientifically figure out what waveforms people like...err I mean music for even better corp-rock crap

  21. Fan RPM throttling on Teach An Old Athlon New Tricks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Get an AOpen board. The newer ones throttle the speed of the CPU and case fan based on the temp.

  22. Apple on Can Open Source Save Hardware? · · Score: 1

    How is this different then what Apple does?

  23. Waters on China Accelerates Mars Program · · Score: 1

    It was in international waters. Thus, it was fair game for both the US to spy AND China to intercept the spy plane. Basically, non was a fault. Shit happens, move on.

  24. Re:Bullet-proof nano-fabric? on Nanotube Applications Grow And Grow · · Score: 1

    I would rather have a bullet make a clean hole provided by the bullet-proof fabric then to have it naturally mushroom out and take a hunk of flesh with it (hollow points). Remember, death from a bullet wound is not from the entrance, but rather then exit point. That's the science of ballistics. BTW, according to the Geneva Convention, using hollow points is illegal. Regardless, it's still better to wound a solder then to kill him/her on the battle field. After all, it takes more resources to care for the wounded then the dead.

  25. Judgment call? on Court Rejects Intel Electronic Trespass Charge · · Score: 1

    So was the call on the legality of this issue based on the act, or the content of the e-mail?
