  1. Re:You know . . . on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly if you build one you will know exactly how to stop it without using the bike. Maybe if you make it tough though, your heart rate will go up while you smash it to bits.

  2. Are people really this stupid?! on Batterylife Activator Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is this some sort of new fad? Magical stickers? They are marketed for cell phone range and lowering emissions (Only $299!?, no wonder they want you to think about THC, you have to be smoking it to buy this!) Aren't there laws against making false claims in advertisements?

  3. Re:My internet usage has leveled off, too on Nielsen Report Says Internet Usage Flattening · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about 28 hours? Looks like a good idea to me...

    William Wheeler invented a system to light up buildings with light pipes in 1880.

  5. Re:You have no idea what you are talking about. on AMD Demos Dual-Core Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Isn't this exactly what SLI, and the old dual 3DFx cards did? I believe each GPU renders a portion of the scene in these setups.

  6. The new Soviet Russia... on Linux in a World Where Windows 3.0 Never Happened · · Score: 0

    So in an alternate future (parallel dimension?), Microsoft is pushing Linux and IBM is evil?

    Ben Franklin did not patent any of his inventions.

    "As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity to serve others by any Invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously."

  8. Re:Its True on Desktop Apps Ripe Turf for Open Source · · Score: 1

    There was an older version of StarOffice that was free, though I don't remember which. It was a while ago. Around 2001 I think.

  9. Re:CD Sales on RIAA Sales Compared to Download Statistics · · Score: 1

    Some older audio cd players have a hard time reading some brands of CD-Rs. Just try another brand. The only difference of "Music" CD-Rs is that they have a code stored in the ATIP that allows them to be used in stand-alone recorders. Only cd recorders can read the ATIP, it makes no difference to the reader.
