  1. Big ol Thanx on Implanted RFID Chips Linked To Cancer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just wanted to drop a quick line to those testing these devices themselves.. A big heartfelt thank you for risking your life testing these awkward little gizmos. Guess I won't be rushing on out to the local Radio Shack to inflict myself, or pressuring my buddies into the latest fad of RFID chip. Sorry to hear about the health problems. Best wishes.

  2. UFO Tech on Intel to Take Online Suggestions for New Chips · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they need new material and need to down more craft.

  3. Already have em on Russia Plans Its Own Moon Base · · Score: 1

    Many years ago they found bases. From what I hear, all or most of the UFO spacecraft that people find or see siphoning water from various waterways are taking that water to the moon. Many things that were and are thought of as secret, are really no longer considered so. What we exhibit now is the filtering down of that information at its pace to be slowly realized by the public. Have a look see at youtube at duderinok users videos. I think if you were to do a little google video searching as well you would find some. Me just finishing up reading The Day After Roswell. For most to believe though of course it will take an actual event in front of the eyes,, but then they will tell you that you are now nuts and saw Venus. Pretty typical cycle. Also, my favorite interviews are of Jim Sparks. Look that up on google video. He actually met people on an abduction experience FIRST, then later in life at conferences. Look to the sky people. We are alien too.

    Good point. I believe that would fall under something like "The stars look down".

  6. Funny Thing on The Astronomical Event Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Short time ago, I made comparisons to people that Hubble was only a billion dollars and that Google could buy a hundred of them, and cripes, lots of big dopey slothing corps could buy even thousands of them. Funny though that they will be at least part of one.

  7. Werks for me on Council of the EU Says "We Cannot Support Linux" · · Score: 1

    Followed the link and the videos seem to work fine for me. I honestly cant remember a file I couldnt play. The lack of support is what has made me happy for using my OS. I could care less for those that don't do anything for us's OS, and those that do care, hey whatever, guess you want your stuff to be seen and or used. Kudos. It's like, how could someone or company even start to care after ignoring for so long when a OSS has taken its place. Theyd be competing against themselves.

  9. Gapless Playback and DRM on EMI Exec Says 'The Music CD is Dead' · · Score: 1

    For one people, either a lossless codec or .ogg is about the only way to go if you dont want your music interrupted between tracks, and if you're going this way, it appears as if your only method of achieving this is to have the CD. That or use a service like AllOfMP3.com which you can use a recording that they have mastered as CD data and transcode to a gapless format (i.e. .ogg). Nevertheless, there are portable players as well that playback gapless audio, such as Pink Floyd "The Wall" etc... one manufacturer being Cowon, that does a superb job at reproducing the music the way it was intended. It plays all the important formats that matter to me. I am utterly astounded at the sheer amount of folks out there that settle for less. I do realize that most people dont have any idea of anything else in the world aside of the ipod, but I suppose it doesn't matter any more than me to the music industry. Sooo, I'm sure we'll be living on different strings. Later

  10. Re:BOYCOTT SONY! on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 1

    I have some time ago stopped buying phony sony. After dozens of car CD, home CD, and portable player CD, $600 TV, Receivers, damn near everything up in smoke that I ever bought from them. Meanwhile, dads old Pioneer equip still going strong. So yeah, there are other things to buy. Same goes for radio shmuck (shack). One time I bought a car phone charger that just sat in the car and hadnt been used for like 6 months or so, and but like twice. On the third time it fried. I took it and the receipt in to see what could be done and she looked at me like I was stupid for not reading that the warrantee was good for but some 90 days and said there was nothing she was going to do. So that I guess is radio shacks way of saying "If you want to be ripped off, shop here". Havent been back in years.

  11. Re:Oh, no, that's not the problem. on Techies Must Educate Governments · · Score: 1

    One thing I haven't heard anyone else catch, is one of the most obvious statements I have ever heard. It is one from no other than the Georgie Porgie Bush. "Creating Freedom and Democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq". So, here we have the most prominent Republican in the US and world telling everyone that the plan is for "Democracy". I would have figured it be more like, "Adjusting the circumstances so that we make the decisions for you in Afghanistan and Iraq".. no, wait..

  12. Why not 8 Track or LP on Myspace to Sell MP3s From Unsigned Bands · · Score: 0, Troll

    I mean, while were at it, a flippable cassette would be nice. Perhaps Bengie's rotating drum technology would suit us now.

  13. Re:This is YOUR fault on Apple and Windows Will Force Linux Underground · · Score: 1

    It is hard to explain. In my world there is no reason to use much else. Periodically, I get chills at how I made it to where I am now so far as computing. Most importantly, I am glad that the software that was written is owned by everybody. A close second, is that the features I get are to the bone of the matter. I don't have any trouble at all the way it is, could be, should be, or will never be.

  14. Buffet on NASA Revives Main Hubble Telescope Camera · · Score: 1

    How about a little injection from the Buffet crew. It would appear that with a tenth of the donation, we could have a couple new and upgraded Hubbles watching the sky. Heck, just about any one of hundreds of companies could give us some. Sure fixing AIDS and having a T-shirt is important considering we have had these luxuries for some time and want the world to stay alive, but what about those of us who are responsible and provide the backbone. Our entertainment surely isn't earthly given the realities. When it comes to living, we don't believe in lines, yet always wait for a turn. Tick tock..

  16. Re:oh boy on IBM to Adopt ODF for Lotus Notes · · Score: 1

    I'll speak for the .ogg part. It is simply THE codec for professional music compression and playback. So all those that get told, hear about, ignore, etc.. without making a move, are akin to those that insist on paying for bottled water when the tap is cleaner and endless. If you still have an excuse or reason, you enjoy broken and painful experiences. I'll skip the technical jargon for reason that your ears understand no more than the brain.

  18. HV/AC and the Ozone Daily News on Research Over Tibet Gives Climate Insight · · Score: 1

    Just so people know. Every single "Certified" air conditioning installer and repair person that I have met and known just lets their repair or replacement freon go into the sky. Think it one further. When you call them in because your having trouble cooling your house or building, it is most likely due to a leak in the system. Which only means that it's being let go into the sky anyway. So for real, every system ever made will eventually fail and most likely have its refrigerant just plume to the sky, slowly or all at once. Sad situation is, is that AC manufacturers actually plan the weakest link as the coil at its fittings. So right about when the warranty expires, you can expect the coils to fail shortly after and lose your refrigerant into the sky. Take note of all names, especially budget names, that will not be around in another 10 years due to the manufactured defects, yet to only have that same company reappear under a different name selling another defect. Sneaky huh. Not to mention cars or ice boxes. It is a serious situation that is going on everywhere and has been for a long time.

  19. Let the battle begin on Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux · · Score: 1

    Get the party started so that it can be finished and over. The only strategy that could dimple now is that of waiting. We all know how the story ends and that it is better than the punishment of the waiting. Lets make some noise and speed over this bump.

  20. Well, someday hopefully 100% on Canadian Record Industry Disputes Own P2P Claims · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In fact, I have only bought CD's in the last long many years simply because of P2P. Excruciating story short,,, I simply hadn't heard the likes of what I listen to now. Never knew it existed. Thanks to the non strategy of P2P, it seems to be to those that simply are seeking.

  22. Re:Wrongo on Digital Music Sales Skyrocket in 2005 · · Score: 1

    Also depending much on geographic location. Actually whilst living in Colorado I found KUVO which is a veritable assault of good music. It's still an egg hunt no matter.

  23. Wrongo on Digital Music Sales Skyrocket in 2005 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually, the music I listen to is not played on radio or in any visible format. P2P is my sampler. I stopped buying CD's when I stopped hearing any good music (opinions vary) radio or otherwise and couldn't hear it anywhere. Anyone get some Dave Weckl Band on 107 FM today? Chick Corea? Zappa? Funny thing is is that .mp3 is whats actually saving their ass because of it's shitty sound quality. Good enough to sample, for me only a tease of good music because I gotta have the FLAC. Another good way to sample is those "Red Dot" music sample boxes they have at Barnes and Noble in the music section. Try the "Similar Artists" selection on the display after selecting someone you like to listen to and you can hear some samples of those "Similar" artists. If you are really into music, you may find yourself standing there for a couple hours hearing stuff you never knew existed. And probably buying a CD after hearing something "Good".

  24. Can someone tell me why on Dvorak Says MS Should Buy Opera · · Score: 1

    No browser on Linux renders mlb.com correctly. Not even Opera. Firefox on Windows is just fine rendering mlb.com. I think Safari on Mac is okay too. And why is Flash so buggered up on Linux? Pull downs pull down behind Flash animations and images. It has been this way for a long time.. Will it ever work??

  25. Lemme see if I am gettin this straight.. on Digital Content Security Act · · Score: 1

    If the words are accurate, it would seem as if the government is just trying to eliminate so called analog. "the measure will outlaw the manufacture or sale of electronic devices that convert analog video signals into digital video signals" I guess if you can keep the signal digital all the way through, I see no problem other than the separating of the ties of so called analog-digital. It really seems that the message transmitted is just another pretention of working for the vote and not really something thought out at all. Some argue if life begins at conception or birth or heartbeat or whatever, I for one think sperm and eggs are alive. Some think that events and other the like are "analog", an escapee of a gridrealm. I for one live in a world where everything is digital. Everything occupies a place and at a time. Didn't no one else watch Stephen Hawking videos first thing after being born?? I mean,, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Oops, wrong planet. Sorry analog peoples of digital governments.. Message to selves, Troubled Blue Planet- Long way to go, short time to get there.
