  1. Re:You just seeing this? on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's one from a few years ago. It's darker so you can see the lights better.

  2. Re:This is probably a good thing. on Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just make sure that the street corner isn't in the U.S. Now where's my gmail invite :)

  3. Re:Effective Now on Yahoo Boosts Email Space in response to Gmail · · Score: 2, Funny

    Except for the fact that when I email myself it puts my messages into the spam folder. I guess Yahoo believes that any mail coming from a Yahoo account IS spam. :)

  4. I'm not sure... on Hardcore Java · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm not sure if the book's hardcore, but the review sure is. A note to Alex Garrett, I don't have two hours to read a review (of only four chapters no less).

  5. Sun already tried this on PARC's New Networking Architecture · · Score: 4, Informative

    This sounds like what Sun tried to do with Jini. Judging buy the success (or lack there of) of Jini, I don't believe this will be successful.

  6. Re:Good idea that will never work on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 1

    I didn't read anything in the article about sending back the drivers identity. This system can easily be put in place without any knowledge of who the driver is. This system (or a similar one) is a necessity in big cities for commuters. It will also open up the door for integration with mapping software and eventually to fully automated cars (25-50 years in the future).

  7. Will hurt auto dealers on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    This law wil hurt the auto dealers the most. The auto dealers will have to install the units at there cost (passing it along to the buyer). Auto dealers in neighboring states will be able to sell the cars for less. Buyers will go to those states and buy cars or just keep there old car longer. Either way the car dealers will be hurt.

  8. For my pregnant wife on Strangest Valentine's Day Gifts? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My wife is currently pregnant and has been craving macaroni & cheese, so this year I got her mac & cheese. I also gave her some other stuff, but she got a good laugh out of the mac & cheese.

  9. Re:Don't code for IE, but for mozilla/netscape on Developing a Standards-Compliant Web App? · · Score: 1
    I will say though its about time people gave up on NS4.7 it is the browser from hell!

    As a consultant that works with many clients, I'm truly surprised at how many companies still use NS 4.x as there minimum browser standard (even for intranet apps). I can show them all sorts of statistics that NS 4.x is used by less then 2 % of internet users (Broswer stats/trends) and even less on there sites, it still doesn't matter. It takes me more time to test/code around the shortcomings of NS 4.x then to test/code the entire site.

    But the clients pay my bills, so that's what I do.

  10. Re:I would suggest... on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 1

    Why is this 5, Interesting? It should be -1, how to violate the GLP and not get caught. The whole point of the GPL is that you release the source code along with the byte code, so others can contribute to it and make it better. If you use an obfuscator nobody would ever contribute to it.

  11. Re:rediculous on Can Manned Spaceflight Save the Economy? · · Score: 1
