  1. Re:i love my 89.. on Free, Open Source OS For TI Calculators · · Score: 0

    just make sure you know how to do those equations by hand. Algebra II is one thing. But college professors know exactly what those calcs can do. And they want to see some "real" work to go along with it ;)

  2. Re:SCOrched Earth on SCOrched Earth · · Score: 0

    Worms has always been very similar in gameplay. and is multiplayer. And as always, google yields the desired results.

  3. Embedded Commercials on Will TiVo Destroy Ad-Supported TV? · · Score: 0

    This will only cause advertisers and network television stations to 'embed' more of their products/advertisements into the television programs themselves. Looks like Apple already has a headstart in this area.

  4. Re:Hope the power supply lasts on Bombardier's Embrio: Sexier Segway? · · Score: 0

    well hopefully it will have some sort of mechanism that slows you down to a safe speed when dangerously low on power.

  5. Re:My response to the county on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 0

    make sure your congressman/congresswoman gets ahold of that too.

  6. How bout wireless? on iPod-Jacked · · Score: 0

    Sharing music is great.. but having to fumble around plugging stuff into eachother's iPod's can get tedious.

    Wireless would obviously be a better solution but how can a person regulate it? One idea is that a person can designate a sample of a song on their iPod in which nearby iPod users (connecting by BlueTooth I suppose) can 'tap' in and listen.

    Some time constraints, number of concurrent accesses, and number of times one person A can connect to person B should be in order.

    Using samples as opposed to just letting people listen to entire songs should keep the RIAA at bay (somewhat) and save battery power (assuming that the longer a person is connected takes up more power on the connectee's iPod).

  7. Re:Better Than The Simpsons? on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 0

    Brian is almost a knockoff of Homer Simpson.
    I've never heard that comparison. The Peter Griffin/Homer Simpson similarities are obvious tho:
    Both...
    - are.. well.. dumbasses.
    - drink heavily
    - have meaningless jobs
    - have senial fathers
    - both married to women who just seem to know more about everything.
    any other similarities are welcome!

  8. $80 billion gets you more of this... on South Korea Plans National 100 Mbps Network · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm sure alot of us have heard about the S.Koreans dying in net-cafes after spending 48+ hours playing CS and RPGs. How does their government actually think all this new speed will help their country. Just take a look at these freaks and find out.

    You watch fox I bet.

    You watch Sesame Street, I bet.

  10. Re:IT AINT FUCKEN EASY! on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 0

    I agree. I have 2 friends using DDR on playstation and the PC mod versions to lose weight and its worked out well for them. Losing weight while having fun doing it (and not to mention learning a few dance moves) is a win/win in my book.

  11. Re:Duty to Shareholders on Patent Sought For Amazon Marketplace · · Score: 0

    when and where (channel) will this be on?

  12. Re:Could the money have been better spent? on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 0

    so just because the US wastes money then its OK for every other country to waste money? China needs to wake up and feed its own people before doing their half-assed redundant space exploration.

  13. Re:Indian Artical Insults Chinese Space Plan on China Sends First Taikonaut To Space · · Score: 0

    >lets see them put a base on the moon
    lets see them feed their starving people first, before spending millions on their space exploration

    >By definition *only* a government can do that.

    Sure they can, if they're a public university.

  15. What happened to... on Matrix Revolutions To Be Released On Imax · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "... stuff that matters"????
    c'mon

  16. Re:Thats great but.. on Matrix Revolutions To Be Released On Imax · · Score: 1

    sounds about right. they must have cut any good dialog out of 'reloaded' to get it down to 120 min.

  17. Bad for Microsoft but... on MS Dissatisfaction High, Users Consider Switching · · Score: 1
    > and 41 percent of respondents are at least thinking about switching away from Microsoft software

    How many are actually able to switch to other software packages while locked into contracts for their company/coporations that have deals with M$?

    Remember, its just not that easy for entire companies/coporations to switch over from an environment such as Windows to a Linux environment. Even with Linux desktop software becoming very usable for the "regular" user, it is still quite an impact and will most likely require re-training and a temporary loss of productivity during this period (and thus loss of money).

  18. Re:The association? Why not some home numbers? on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 1

    In light of the recall, you should use the arnold soundboard for something like this. ;)

  19. Just what the Navy needs... on Birth of a Motorized Surfboard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Combine this with your own morter and we've got ourselves new Navy ammunition.

  20. New phone scam? on Telcos Stand Against RIAA · · Score: 1

    The RIAA's not so bad, they'll settle out of court over the phone, if you don't mind paying up instead of getting a lawyer.

    Hi this is [insert your name] on behalf of the RIAA. Please pay us [insert your desired amount] immediatley or we will take you to court. Send your cash payment to [insert your P.O box here].

    Maybe we can agree that the NYT is a well-written, serious and interesting newspaper. I think Jason Blair put an end to that. *long live free speech!* ;)
