  1. I couldnt possibly think.. on Computers That Feel our Mood · · Score: 1

  3. Did you notice that the story... on Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 · · Score: 1

    neglects to mention that the first chip in the line of $40 pentium 4's cost multi-millions in research and development?

  4. "My prediction is that in 10.. on The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security · · Score: 1

    years users that need education will be out of the high-tech workforce entirely, or will be self-training at home in order to stay competitive in the job market."

    My prediction is that in 10 years, the IT workforce will be much more technically savvy because they grew up in the computer age, however users will always require futhur education as new products are being created all the time, it is unreasonable to predict otherwise.

  5. Side Effects.. on Experimental 4G Phone Service Faster Than Cable · · Score: 1

  7. Science What?? on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    When I read that headline at first it looked like "USA to Pass Science CLOWN to China". Unfortunately the article wasnt as interesting as I expected..

  11. Nooo!! on Mount Saint Helens Behaving Oddly · · Score: 1

    Don't do it! Dont use that aluminum boat to cross the lake in an attempt to escape!! You wll be melted by the acid! Use the 4WD to drive across the lava flow instead, that seems to work.

  12. You could always on Dead? Hope You Left Someone Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    go to www.deathclock.com and make arrangements for your data to be sorted out according to the result.

  13. Gigabyte Dual Architecture on Gigabyte's Dual-GPU Graphics Card · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope this hardware is more effectively built than their 939 pin dual memory channel motherboards. They have a myriad of problems with the technology, especially the GA-KNSNXP-939, which I was going to buy before I read a number of online forums complaining about its non-compatibility with many dual memory DDR's.

  14. Number plates on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    Did you guys zoom in to see the cars numberplates in the very bottom left hand side of the picture as well? ..... oh.. well i did

    17th century plans to build a space chariot out of springs, feathers and gunpowder.....

    Poaching is illegal?? I'm going to have to scramble instead I think.

  18. Re:um... I'd have a different perspective on Less Might Be More · · Score: 1

    Besides I still have an old 75 mhz Pentium sitting at my parent's that gets regular use and has had *nothing* fail except for a module of expansion RAM I threw in there for my dad that died after 3-4 years.

  19. Spam spam spam. on A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We've heard it all before. Spam fills out inboxes day after day. Its is manageable if you have a 2 meg inbox, but take pity on those with boxes around the 1 gig mark. Of course I'm talking about GMail. Ps. I will trade karma for this link.

    Noooo, Don't click Me!
  20. "Sound fridge" on Sound To Power Space Probes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Another description combines a refrigerator and whistle to make an engine."

    Thats interesting, did you also know that is it possible to cool things down by pushing sound waves through low desity matter? In fact they have made a fridge that uses helium gas and a 190 decibel loudspeaker to cool the food. Of course the fridge is completely soundproof so you dont deafen yourself. See it here!

  21. Ummm... on Extra-solar Planet Imaged · · Score: 1

    I looked all over the linked webpage for the picture of the planet but all I could find was what looked like a picture of the power status light from one of the new lacie 1 TB external harddrives. Can someone point me to the right page please?

  22. Everybody knows on Medical Journals Fight Burying of Inconvenient Research · · Score: 1

    that given enough time, you are able to prove anything using statistics. Not only that, but depending on how the 'facts' are presented, they may be interpreted differently as well. We will never be able to completely erradicate ambiguous or even downright fraudulently presented research, but at least this is a start.

  23. Solar sail on Japanese Deploy Solar Sail · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What I dont understand is how they intend to protect these massive sails from being shot full of holes by meteorites and space dust as it propels its way through space.

    Also, seing as how it is powered by solar wind, what happens when the craft is between 2 or more stars which are all exerting equal force on the sails. With no fuel it is doomed to slow down and be 'blown' around in space.

  24. Improved Efficiency on AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it make more sense that if you are encouraging people learn to use a new input device that you would use keyboard mappings that are more efficient at the same time? QWERTY keyboard layout is not as efficient as the DVORAK layout. If you are learning to use a hand held device you may as welll learn a more efficient style.

    Also, one handed typing would be near impossible with this device would it not? No more sipping coffee and typing!

  25. Re:Stephenson? on The Unknown Newton · · Score: 0

    You are assuming here that everyone acts like you. Simply because someone hates a book doesnt mean they won't finish it. And there is always someone with enough spare time to do practically anything.
