  1. Re:poms on Eat Right, Earn an iPod · · Score: 1

    Aggred. A bag of dorritos looks a lot more appealing than any school food.

  2. Re:How smart on Eat Right, Earn an iPod · · Score: 1

    If you read the comments after the article, the iPod their giving away is an iPod Shuffle. And the perect use of flash players is for a workout.

  3. Re:Li-Ion battery ? on iPod Dangerous When Wet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Group 1A metals (aka alakline metals) react with water in their metalic states. However, ionic compounds containing alkaline metals, like sodium chloride don't have this property. Looking at the name (Lithium Ion), I'd guess that it's in some type of ionic compound.

  4. Re:Excellent commentary... on Michael Robertson Says Root is Safe · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but Richard M. Stallman hates propriary software, and thinks it shouldn't even exit.

  5. Re:no TV on Our Ratings, Ourselves · · Score: 1

    It sound like instead of getting everything for your own antena or cable line, you are getting it from other sources. It's still the same thing, just delivered diffrently.

  6. Re:This warning will be comfort to the Broadcaster on Our Ratings, Ourselves · · Score: 1

    The broadcasters should'n forget that their viewers with short attention spans might just get bored during comercial breaks, and just turn off the TV.

  7. Re:xpdf on Adobe Reader 7.0 Coming to Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd trade in a feature I never use for the speed of kpdf. Acrobat reader is bloated and slow.

  8. Re:Factory production? on Shufflephones 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I think somebody already made one. Not really sure who, but I think it was RCA. Now if they could make something smaller, so it could be easy to hide in a hoodie.

  9. Re:iPod in the headphones? on Shufflephones 2.0 · · Score: 1

    You don't get the iPod style, that most people buy an ipod for.

  10. Re:yeah no company needs 1 billion customers on China Walks Out of Wireless LAN Security Talks · · Score: 1

    1.2 Billion people is the big deal

  11. Re:cool stuff on QEMU Accelerator Achieves Near-Native Performance · · Score: 4, Informative

    Qemu is usually an emulator, unless you use the kqemu module which makes it a virutualizer like VMware.

  12. Re:Seriously on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 1

    The reason you need multiple resolutions with a tube is that at higher res the tube flickers, and the picture is not as stable, so multiple resolutions give you your compromise:-). Why the heck would you want to run an LCD or an OLED at lower than the highest res?

    My monitor can run at up to 1920x1440, if I ran at that res, text would be virtually unreadable. So I run at 1280x1024. Or maybe I'm not veiwing text and want to play UT2K4 at 1600x1200. Or starcraft at 640x480.

  13. Re:Seriously on Samsung Shows Off 21" OLED Display · · Score: 1

    3. LCDs are mechanically awkward. They are sure better than a vacuum-filled glass jar, but there still have to be two sheets of high-precision glass with a precisely controlled gap in between, and a backlight tube. The whole thing is rather fragile. An OLED doesn't really have to have any glass in it at all, even though the first ones do.

    Exceppt the vacuum-filled glass jar can do multiple resolutions, faster response, better picture quality and it cheaper.

  14. So I'm screwed? on AMD and Intel Update CPU Roadmaps · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I just got an MSI K8N Neo Platnium, which is a socket 754 motherboard. Looks like socket 754 is going no where.

  15. Re:what about 2.4? on Linux Kernel 2.6.7 Released · · Score: 1

    If it's working, and it's imporatant they don't want to switch for no reason. 2.5 was a devolopment kernel. All odd numbered versions are devolopment.

  16. Re:"circumvent copyright protection" on EA, Atari Sue Over Videogame Copying Software · · Score: 1

    No you don't. Copy the copy protection, copys it, not circumvent's it. The copy of the CD is still copy protected, or else it wouldn't work. This will be thrown out for that reason.

  17. People do this already! on RIAA Protests Digital Radio · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ever hear of taping a song off the radio. A lot of people do it.

    Git off ma fair use before aye shoot ya.

  18. Re:BAN DHMO on Is Your Computer Leaking Toxic Dust? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Very funny. Now stop posting stupid jokes.

  19. Hide them!!! on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nobody will steal them if they don't know you have them. Switching the headphones on the iPod was a good idea. Are you even a geek if you own an the overpriced, low battery, low sound quality item that is the iPod. Real geeks use Zen Xtra, Karma, or iRiver iHP-1x0.

  20. Re:Ugh... on A Worm's Worm · · Score: 1

    My high school offers 2 courses. The applied science dept has c++ class. The math dept has a java class.

    He's stereo typing the brits as having being technolgicly impaired. Duh!

  22. Re:Will DRM and Linux ever be able to get along? on iTunes One Year Anniversary Sparks Comparison · · Score: 1

    Maybe the solution is to give users unecrypted un drmed music, ala eMusic? The RIAA needs to face the fact that DRM is not going stop illegal downloading. Giving your customers what they want will attract people from kazaa and emule.
