  1. How about on Device for Taking Travel Notes? · · Score: 1

    a tape recorder? You don't want a PDA or Laptop so I think you are limiting your options.

  2. links on Welcome to the 'Plogging' World · · Score: 4, Informative
  3. Re:So cows ARE worth a shitload! on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    As long as your not a vegan (I'm not) which will not even drink milk. What a great way to live.

  4. Poop! on Manure-Powered Generators On The Rise · · Score: 1

    I wonder how bad it smells? I'm sure I'd put up with it for saving 5 grand a month though.

    Poop is good, that is all.

  5. Re:portable method for keeping beer cold indefinet on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nerd? Oh yes because his party will be so lame that no one will show up so he will have a lot of beer left over.

  6. Re:Another Rip Off on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 1

    Almost every product is rip off of something previous to it, usually because the consumer already knows how to operate product X so if product Y is like X than the consumer will not get confused.

    Dumb de dumb dumb

  8. Obvious on FairPlay v2 Reversed, Playfair Back Online · · Score: 5, Redundant

    "How will Apple respond?"
    With FairPlay v3.

  9. 7 shows at once on Sony PC/DVR Incorporates 7 Tuners & 1TB HD · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "allowing the recording of 7 shows at the same time"

    Thats great but its hard enough to find one good show on tv, is there really a time that 7 good shows are on?

  10. Re:So on G4TechTV Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    What's a career?

  11. So greedy on Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The Wall Street Journal carries a story today on the higher prices customers are starting to face from online music stores. Apple, for example, is charging $17 for N.E.R.D.'s new 12-track Fly or Die album, while Napster charges $14--both higher than the $13.50 Amazon is selling the physical CD for. All five major record labels are also reportedly discussing ways to raise the price of single downloads, from increasing the price anywhere from $1.25 to $2.50, to bundling hot singles with less desirable tracks or charging more for singles of tracks that have not yet been released in stores."

    From what I've read Apple only gets 10 cents from each track sold and RIAA get 70 cents.

  12. Home use only on Excel Clone for Linux Now in Beta · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think that an Excel clone will ever work in the business enviorment unless it can run all the addins like the ones for Essbase and Peoplesoft.

  13. Hotbar hotblows! on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 1

    I have had the most problems with removing Hotbar. It tries to install every time Outlook is run. It pretends to uninstall from add/remove programs, but is back next time you try to load Outlook. I hate it! I want to sue the people who make that crap software.

  16. Private questions on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 1

    one important thing to keep in mind is that there are some things I might want to know that I don't want to ask my librarian.
    "Ma'am can you help me find a book on STDs?, thanks"

  17. Re:Searching skills on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 4, Funny

    You are correct, most people don't have the skills needed to get accurate results. It drives me nuts trying to watch others use a search engine, the first mistake is they usually type www.yahoo.com in the address bar.

  18. This doesn't seem right on Putting Google to the Test · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would think it would take 5 mins just to find the phone number to the library, get some one to answer the phone and then explain the question, PLUS have them search for answer. This also would all depend on the library you call. Google is google no matter where you live, but not every library is staffed when the same people.
