    In this case I think it's more about laziness than vendor lockin. ;)

  8. Re:Wrong approach entirely on EU Recommends Noise Limits On MP3 Players · · Score: 4, Funny

    The issue here is not the ambient noise produced by the earphones, but the damage to the listener.

    You're not making any sense!

    Imagine you're a car, and you want to put the wrong kind of gas in your tank.

    That's a much better explanation, thanks!

    How much silver is actually sued in these batteries?

    I don't know, but the lawyers cost alone is going to prevent this technology from ever reaching the marketplace.

    I'm building a PIC-based micro-sub-netbook-mini that's going to last 40 weeks on a set of two AA batteries.

    he probably couldn't care less if you wear headphones or stuffed bananas in your ears.

    That reminds me of a story about my friend Charlie.

  14. You could try meditation on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

  21. Stop it. Just stop. on FTC Says Virtual Worlds Bad For Minors · · Score: 1

    Either make the .kid domain with strict regulations/requirements and legal fines if you don't follow them.

    Another radical idea would be for parents to do their job of parenting and just stop annoying us with all of this. The internet is just like the real world, not all places are kid-friendly. Parents should know that.

    Even age itself, for adults, doesn't quite cut it. Some people just can't handle some types of content while others can.

  22. Colossus on Quebec Data Center Built In a Silo · · Score: 1

    Nice to see a reference to Colossus: The Forbin Project in the document. That film is under-appreciated, especially its own copyright owner. Where's our widescreen format, region 1 DVD, jerks!
