  1. Be careful on Wormholes Unstable (BBC) · · Score: 1

    or you'll end up in the Delta Quadrant.

  2. Question on FireWire for 75% Better Mac mini Disk Performance · · Score: 2

    Can one actually run the OS off the Firewire hard drive?

  3. Well on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How long until they can get it working with the touch screen as a text input device in Linux? That would be really amazing.

  4. Espcially true with all the deal sites: on Online Shoppers Aren't Impulsive · · Score: 1
  5. In other news: on Lawsuit Says GPL is a Price-Fixing Scheme · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bottled watter companies file lawsuit that running tap water is a price fixing scheme! Oxygen tank manufacturers claim air is a price fixing scheme! Recording Industry says making your own music is a price fixing scheme!

  6. Re:firefox toolbar? on Netcraft: 5,600 Phishing Sites Since December · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, but that's probably too difficult for the average relative to understand.

  7. What about... on A Review of GCC 4.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...Tiger? Wasn't it compiled with GCC 4.0?

  8. I'm confused on Rapid J2EE Development · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How much of this book has to do with J2EE and how much has to do with software development in general? (What is XP doing in a J2EE book?)

  9. Question on Ameritrade Customer Data Lost · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If date is being transported via a 3rd party carrier, wouldn't it make sense to encrypt the data first?

  10. Why iPods? on iPods Valuable in the College Classroom? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    iPods, without a $30 add-on, can't record. What else are non-music students doing academically with the iPods?

  11. Question on Behind the Closed Doors of AMD's Chip Production · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Incentives from the German government and the EU have lured a number of high-tech firms to the Saxony region of Germany, many of which have formed alliances. AMD, Infineon and ZMD work particularly closely together.

    Anyone know anything about this? What makes Dresden so interesting to AMD?

  12. Sad on TrekUnited Campaign Ends · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately, the article doesn't explain why Paramount turned down the Canada offer. That would seem to make the most sense, as the Trek fan fund itself wouldn't have been able to actually fund a season, while an actual production company would.

  13. Problem on Users as Innovators - Why Open Source Works · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One major problem with open-source is the lack of artists willing to work under such a license. For an example ot what results, see the "new" FreeCIV.

  14. Strange on Game Music Featured In Hollywood Bowl Concert · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder who came up with that selection. It really leaves out a lot of classics that are known for their music (think Zelda, FF3, FF7, etc.).

  15. Uhhh on Michael Robertson Says Root is Safe · · Score: 1

    So that IE users don't end up downloading + installing every ActiveX spyware app in existence and messing up the entire computer?

  16. Note on Asterisk Breeds A Cottage Industry · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Note that not all of the solutions are open-source like PBX, although AMP is.

  17. Re:Ajax? on Manipulate Your TV Listings with TiVo+Ajax · · Score: 4, Informative
  18. Uhh on Manipulate Your TV Listings with TiVo+Ajax · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That pie chart. Is there some sort of key for it? What is red? What is blue? What is green?

  19. Question on Unintended Consequences of Using GPL Fonts · · Score: 1

    Why hasn't this clause been added to the official GPL itself? Who would want to require anyone who uses their fonts to make their program GPL'ed? That would seem very odd.

  20. Out of curiosity on Best Motherboard for a Large Memory System? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    what do you need so much RAM for in an individual single-processor server?

  21. Are you sure on Grand Challenges in Networks for the Next 15 Years · · Score: 4, Funny

    that this isn't one of those randomly generated MIT papers?

  22. PCMagazine on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 3, Informative
  23. Re:The series is in a permanent vegetative state. on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why hasn't Congress passed a bill to force Paramount to keep Enterprise alive!?

  24. Canada on Is Enterprise Heading To Canada? · · Score: 5, Funny

    To boldly go where no man has gone before :-)

  25. Huh? on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And what about a simple pop-up blocker, especially now that Microsoft includes one with IE? Does this violate a "social contract?" How is blocking any other type of ads different than blocking pop-up ads?
