  1. maybe.. on Yahoo To Charge For Search Listings · · Score: 1

    this won't have much relevance because it said that this action was targeting "companys"...not "companies". So who are these companys?

  2. Puzzle Fighter on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1
    FPSs are ok, but man...a nice gamne of Puzzle Fighter beats it all. Un less you're going against some Super Akuma user.

    Or maybe you can play one of those game from the past and bring the net play back from the dead. Doom or Duken Nuken should be fine. Everyone will have forgotten their rudimentary skills of the game, surely...

  3. Hmmm on Plain Cell Phones Fading Away? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well I would say that Nextel, though they are starting to reach out to that pop culture market...is keeping that "phone that works" trend. Those things are tough...they do't have the damn extra bells and whistles that you don't need, and wherever they have coverage, service is great. I plan on sticking with them for awhile.

  4. Re:New York Region on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    Vassar is the place; I go there to party once in a while. I'm surprised that they have DSL up there. What about cable?

  5. Re:Argh! NYPost Is Not Credible! on Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts · · Score: 0

    They call Mr. Bush Prez. Credible?

  6. Re:All this really makes me wonder... on Examining an Automated Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    Well now the trend seem to be for girls to get bigger boobs. I certainly don't want man-boobs.

  7. Hey.... on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    What about cable select?

  8. Re:Whiner on Son of Concorde · · Score: 1

    lol. i should get a minus 1 for mistaking your "ND" with "MD." Sorry

    Instead it's a low-frequency roar that sounds like someone is ripping the sky apart.

    Yeah. That's exactly how the Concorde sounded when it was functional.
  10. Re:Whiner on Son of Concorde · · Score: 1

    Yeah, But these are AFBs you're talking about. I don't know if the NY International Airport turned JFK was built with the military in mind, but the residents should have a little more reason to want a change. I don't live there...so it doesn't bother me too much, but still. I remember being younger and my dad had to scramble to grab my brother's stroller when that plane came by. I didn't care back then since I liked that plane...and seeing my brother roll a few feet was funny too.

    I go to UMCP. Are you talking about Andrews AFB?

    I was wondering if they gave civilian tours of the base. I've wanted to check it out since I've been down here

  12. Re:Whiner on Son of Concorde · · Score: 1

    Well one did crash going to the Dominican Republic, but I believe it was in Jamaica. There's no whining involved. all I said is that I hope they mod the noise reductions systems...but most importantly, reduce the wake. My dad isn't complaining anyway.

  13. Re:ughh.... on Son of Concorde · · Score: 1

    no one said anything about a sonic boom here. I know it broke sonic speeds over the atlantic. but you'd see what i meant if you experienced a take off around JFK.

    Had to post anonymous, huh? Couldn't risk losing some karma?

    Well first of all, the house is vintage. It was built in the 40s. It's hard to find houses like that. My dad loves the location. After all, it is Queens, NYC we're talking about.

    And I'm not talking about the normal commercial liners. I'm talking about the Concorde specifically. That is the only plane that was bothersome to us.
  15. ughh.... on Son of Concorde · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I realllly hope they consider better silencing techniques and way to calm the drafts coming from the turbines. My dad's house is by JFK. Everytime that plane flew over, the house would shake. It's not just us either, it's the whole neighborhood that surrounds the land under the Concorde's take-off trail.

    They re-routed it, but it still affects the area pretty bad. I've seen strollers being swept around. I hope they fix it if they decide to make a successor.

  16. i feel good... on Recycling TV Ads · · Score: 0

    I wonder who the James Brown of commercials is because he will be making some big bucks. The hardest working man in TV advertising...

  17. hmmm... on Fiber to the People: Lessig, IEEE & AFNs · · Score: 0

    Isn't he the guy who wrote that book about the "commons" from a technological standpoint?

  18. peace on Gnome.org Desktop Integration Bounty Hunt · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    $15?? I'm going for the $2500. It would help if I played Evolution though...hmmmm

  19. Re:wow... on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    uhhhh it can offer to host the files for customers still willing to pay for it as a simple host. And when CNET finally decides to start the more extensive marketing and distribution of music, they can give to original customers back the control they had...and more...

    cool. do you have a website? I'll check your stuff out.

  21. Re:Get a grip on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 1

    I disagree with your disagreement.

    Acquisitions and mergers, for the most part, seem to displace innovation and competition. (GM anyone?)

    And as for the second part, why don't you just read what I said afterward?

    hmmmmmm... yeah so i was sorta right saying that it wasn't a good idea.

    definitely... thanks for the heads up on the book...

  24. wow... on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 5, Interesting
    That's pretty messed up. What if the person put a lot of effort in using mp3.com to market their stuff? They also depended on the company to create their physical media, and those will be destroyed as well. I have friends who use it. They should at least give them the option to buy their own CDs back at the minimum price.

    It seems as if mergers and acqusitions always have some negative effect on the customer.

    Unfortunately, this is a major one. Shouldn't the government be able to step in? hmmmmmm afterthinking about it, it's probably best that they don't...

    They should market open source using a green penguin. Now THAT is impossible to resist.
