  1. Yes, $7500 is a bit high .. on Microsoft Prepares Alternative To Apple iTunes · · Score: 1
    But noone will actually fill up their ipod completely from the music store anyway, so it does not matter.

    Plus, there is a reason why more people have a used the Apple Store than any of the subscription services. They have made a easier to use more inatuitive product, besides the fact that Apple users will use anything that Apple designs.

    More important, after each passport fiasco, will anyone, both users and record labels, want to use a product designed by Microsoft? The labels will be afraid it will be to easy to crack, and users will fear that their music will disappear, even if they do pay the fees.

  2. Re:Crackers on Canadian University to Begin Training Hackers · · Score: 2, Informative

    They are most certainly hackers, not crackers. They are learning about the knowledge in a safe lab, as not to cause accidental damage, for a useful non-malicious purpose. That is a lot better than many of the current experts on these issues.

  3. trying to saty below the radar screen on Have You Seen This Segway? · · Score: 1

    Did he think he would be able to ride the thing without anyone giving him weird looks and calling the cops that some wacko is riding around on this screwed up "gray thing".

  4. of course it will on Does Gaming Reduce Productivity? · · Score: 1

    Allowing serious gaming in the workplace will stop people from playing solitare all day. If that were to happen, the company would be able to get rid of all of its now worthless windows machines, greatly enhancing productivity.

  5. Why? on Massively Updating to Mac OS X? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why would anyone want to slow down one computer by installing OS X, much less 500-700.

  6. why bother? on New G3-Based Platform Runs Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why would anybody use OS X if it does not come with a weird shaped colorful case?

  7. outdoor use on The Wireless Networking Question Roundup... · · Score: 3, Informative

    make a waveguide antenna with a coffee can. it should last ok, and if it rusts, it is easy to replace.

  8. Does anyone actually take the times seriously on Satellite Imagery · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    After last week, does anyone take the NYT seriously anymore. Sure, today its sattelite images, tommorow they'll try to convince us that the patriot act is a bad thing, and then they'll try to tell us that we kind of failed in Afganistan..

    damn, hold on a second ......

  9. Panther to tear up Longhorn? on Why Panther May Tear Up Longhorn · · Score: 4, Interesting
    It is interesting that everyone seems that it is fair to compare a (almost) current OS to a hype-only possible OS that will not reach the market for another 2 years at the minimum.

    It is like comparing a 2003 car to a 2005 one.

    But the scariest part is that the 2003 wins. gofigure

  10. Would it be so bad? on Death of Internet Predicted: Film at 11 · · Score: 1
    Think about it, if the internet like we know it dies, then it will be possible to set up another "internet" without all of the problems that this one has.

    Pop-ups spam windows servers etc.. Think of the possibilities.

  11. Re:Once The Internet Dies... on Death of Internet Predicted: Film at 11 · · Score: 1

    and then M$ would set up a private internet for PC users and attempt to kill off the mac internet, and once they get 95% market share, they will change their *new* internet back into the "old" internet.

  12. We might be jumping the gun ... on NASA Report Advocates Switch to Open Source · · Score: 3, Funny
    We might be jumping the gun here. Maybe someone said they are swiitching to X11 spacecraft and some geek presumed that that meant open source.

    just my personal theory.

  13. Re:Preposterous on Making Change · · Score: 1

    or maybe have a coin class that can expand depending how much money it needs to be.

  14. Re:New! Glove makers more efficient. on Making Change · · Score: 1

    or maybe have no fingers in the glove, and make it one big pocket. oh wait..

  15. They would have interviewed RMS .. on Online Newshour Tackling Digital Copyright · · Score: 5, Funny

    but then they would have had to call it GNU/NewsHour or would that be GNUshour

  16. Re:It would require... on Destroying Nuclear Weapons with High-Energy Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    diameter=190 miles radius=95 miles at that size, it would not matter if you detonated the nukes in the middle.
