  1. how much video can the camera hold? on Philips Demos Keychain-sized Camcorder · · Score: 4, Insightful

    128Megs doesnt seem like much. or if it is, the video is probably lo-fi

  2. Re:Nice on Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway · · Score: 1

    so you saying that they should combine a chatbot with Ask Jeeves?

  3. the risk... on Would You Like Drugs in Your Rice? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    of cross pollenization should be important in determining what plants and drugs should be used. While protein enhancements spreading to other plants or fields could be beneficial, other drugs such as the human growth hormone would have a definite risk.

  4. Re:And the bonus on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the study takes in account the number of cd's that people buy because of hearing a new band through file sharing. I can think of cd's that I've bought because I downloaded 2 of their songs, and I can also think of cd's that I didn't buy because I downloaded most of their cd.

  5. status quo on Six Barriers to Open Source Adoption · · Score: 1

    why upgrade if what i have works?
    I'm talking about people not on /. ;-)

  6. it was CowboyNeal on UFO Streaks Through Martian sky · · Score: 1

    now can we move on...

  7. Re:A little confused on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the ability to "hear" inaudible conversation is valuable in case there is a lot of outside noide (explosion?) or for psychological reasons (a crew member mutters something under his breath)

  9. hmm im Joe User i guess on Debian Installer Beta 3 Usability Review · · Score: 2, Informative

    the installation seemed to contain a lot of stuff I didn't know. At least they had recommended choices to keep some unwanted stuff from happening.

  10. it's impossible on Melting Europa · · Score: 1

    to discover and study life without somehow interacting with it (badly misquoted from The Lost World).

  11. it wont help your problem... on DVD Authoring Under Linux? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Macintosh's imovie and idvd allowed me, a relatively less-informed nerd, to create some cool looking menus. Does apple make any software like this for pcs?

  12. I already have a hard enough time... on Overclocking Your Sega Genesis/MegaDrive · · Score: 4, Funny

    keeping up with Sonic ;)

  13. everything kills.. on Can Software Kill? · · Score: 1

    even waffles. i'm sure someone has died from choking on a waffle. or maybe that person ate a poisoned waffle. or maybe that person didn't know he was allergic to something ;)
    off-topic? maybe, but the point is that no matter how good something can be it can inadvertantly cause harm.

  14. Re:$45? on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they are referring to 10% of the cost of a new PC.

  15. even tap water... on Manufacturing 1 PC Takes 1.8 Tons Of Raw Material · · Score: 2, Funny

    has a high environmental impact. I'm somewhat sure that it's at least 50 gallons of water to get one gallon of tap water.

  16. washing machine on Hand-Powered Hardware? · · Score: 1

    i saw a washing machine in Popular Science that you power my doing a few cranks before starting it.

    Could someone explain to me what you use the hard drive for? other mp3 players? digital cameras?

  19. hmm on Robotic Bubble Baths for Japan's Elderly · · Score: 5, Funny

    As Japan's population shrinks
    Is this a literal reference towards the elderly? ;)

  20. incrimanating conversation on Guilty By Association · · Score: -1, Troll

    BubbleBoi76: So did ya do it? Sprinkels913: Uh huh BubbleBoi76: OMG U R so guilty sista ;)

  21. Re:I need some clarification... on DRAM Price Fixing Investigations · · Score: 5, Informative

    companies are given patents or copyrights for products that involve huge costs to develop. If it wasn't for copyrights, these companies would not make the initial investment because it would be significantly harder to earn back the cost if everyone could just copy your product.

  22. it could be a problem... on Meet the Nasalnaut · · Score: 0, Redundant

    especially on long trips. I can imagaine astronauts, already stressed out from two months of close confinement on their way to Mars, going crazy because of a serious case of B.O.

  23. new music protection on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 0, Redundant
