  1. RIM on A Touch Screen With Morphing Buttons · · Score: 1

    This is the kind of tech I though RIM would research before jumping the touchy-feelie screen bandwagon. But noooooo, they'd rather the Blackberry be an iPhone me-too...

  2. Insurance Fraud Galore on Cops To Start CrimeTube To Report Offenses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How long before people start using this new tech to make bogus insurance claims??

  3. And the other half... on Kindle 2 Tear-Down Reveals Price of Components · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is R&D, marketing, distribution, and profit.

    Big deal.

    Why is this news again??

  4. PMI on Project Management For Beginners? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I suggest using the PMI methodology, as it is the industry standard, it'll add a lot of credibility to your resume, and make life much easier for those who follow your work (co-workers, or the guy replacing you once you brush up that resume with a PMI cert).

    Now go research about it, as a good PM needs to be able to do the legwork, too, not just shout orders around.

  5. But does it run... on First Look at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh nevermind :-)

  6. Warp Drives?? on Quantum Setback For Warp Drives · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you mean to say my brand spanking new SSDs have become obsolete already???

  7. Well on Windows 7's Media Hype Having the Opposite Effect As Vista's · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Call me troll, but I've seen several sub-par products that sold well on hype alone. Windows 7 will do just fine, whether it's any good or not.

    At least Microsoft's marketing department is doing its job right this time.

  8. RED on Russia's Mars Mission Raising Concerns · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is the red color on the title bar some kind of hidden Soviet Russia joke???

  9. Re:The thing about these machines is on The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You mean the original Crysis, not Warhead, as the newer game was optimized to run on lesser hardware.

    I know because I have both running on a Core 2 Quad Q9550 with 2 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 and a Geforce 9800GT. Warhead runs smoother on higher settings.

  10. Re:I'd really be impressed... on Christmas Tree Made From 70 SCSI Hard Drives · · Score: 3, Funny

    Little people usually know more about PCs than their parents.

  11. Re:RAM Question on Intel Quad-Core Price and Performance Showdown · · Score: 1

    Wrong. If done properly (especially the cooling), OC'ing does not reduce the useful life of a processor. It is common knowledge that processors come factory clocked lower than its limit.

    The problem is the idiots who just put the open case in front of an AC vent, shoot the voltage settings in the BIOS all the way up, and pray for the best.

  12. Re:the most cost effective applications on the mar on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > I wonder how anything with a non-zero pricetag can be more cost-effective than something that costs nothing

    Training and support, for starters. You're pretty much on your own on these 2 things when it comes to so called "free" software, and the TCO ends up being more expensive than a paid application.

  13. Beta on Google Native Client Puts x86 On the Web · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "We've released this project at an early, research stage to get feedback from the security and broader open-source communities."

    Just slap a "Beta" on it and move on, that's the Google way, right?

  14. History on Look What's Cooking At Microsoft Labs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    MS Labs have a long history of hit-or-miss projects. Some are great, most are not and get killed off sometime during product development. Let's hope some of them get to see a release date!!

  15. Re:No love for k-meleon?! on Too Good To Ignore — 6 Alternative Browsers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, I was using a Slot A Athlon until last week, you insensitive clod!!

    Now it's Core 2 Quad bliss!!!

  16. Re:Customer Backlash? on Ninth Anniversary of Amazon 1-Click Injunction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > I can't imagine I'm the only one who reconsidered Amazon purchases because of things like this.

    Yes you are. Bezos could be using Amazon's profits to fund Al Qaeda operations for all I care. If the product I want is cheaper than a competitor's, I'll buy from Amazon.

  17. Conclusion... on Microsoft Researchers Study "Cyberchondria" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I haven't RTFA, per usual, but I'm sure the study concludes that it's a great idea to search the Internet to see if you have a terrible disease using Windows Live Search.

  18. Blah... on 1.4 Billion Pixel Camera To Watch For Asteroids · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wake me up when Apple puts it in the next iPhone.

  19. Re:Yes on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, it just means you're gay.

  20. Lack of funding, maybe? on Has HavenCo's Data Haven Shut Down? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We're in the midst of a global economic crisis, you know?? Maintaining an offshore host must be quite expensive, especially if there's no local infrastructure to maintain such service.

  21. Re:I think I'll pass. on Wolfram Research Releases Mathematica 7 · · Score: 1

    You mean like Windows?? TPB 1337 h@x0rz got around that just fine.

  22. Outsourcing on Physicist Admits Sending Space-Related Military Secrets To China · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe outsourcing the US military to China wouldn't be a bad thing after all.

  23. Re:Doomsday. on How Regulations Hamper Chemical Hobbyists · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Today the terrorist CAN get hazardous chemicals.

    Enough said.

  24. Re:... and? on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The election is done and over with. You can sleep now. [2]

    And how exactly is this "News for Nerds" or, most importantly, "Stuff that Matters"????

  25. Re:If there's one thing I wouldn't do... on StarOffice Dropped From Google Pack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Unless your business strategy involves some future negotiations with Microsoft.
