  1. Re:WebOS is staying on my TouchPad on Installing Android On an HP TouchPad · · Score: 1

    3.0.2 to 3.0.4 is not a big update. It's actually quite minor. And there are grumblings of the WebOS team disbanding. WebOS's best days are likely behind it -which is unfortunate because I purchased a TouchPad through the firesale and quite like it.

  2. Re:Serious Question: Why do Germans outperform? on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 4, Informative

    Read "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. He very clearly outlines why development was accelerated in some regions and not others.

  3. Re:Hummingbird Document management on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents? · · Score: 1

    HikingStick is exactly right. We used Hummingbird for a while and it got out of hand and then it was every bit as bad as what you're experiencing now but we paid an arm and a leg for it (so it felt much worse). It's a decent product, but we ended up with migrating to SharePoint since it fit our needs.

  4. Re:It will sound horrible on Guitar Hero, On a Real Guitar, To Hit Shelves In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Completely different. In the case of playing real guitar, the unamplified string sounds you are playing are on pitch with whatever is coming from the amplifier. When using a real guitar as a game controller, the actual frequency that the string rings at will clash with the sound that emanates from the TV.

  5. It will sound horrible on Guitar Hero, On a Real Guitar, To Hit Shelves In 2009 · · Score: 1

    The problem I see with it is that unless you turn your TV's sound way up, you're going to hear the tinny off-key strings of the guitar while you play. It'll just be random notes (chromatic scales on a lot of the runs) that will be very off-putting beyond the first few minutes. I appreciate the feel of a real guitar, but the Guitar Hero controllers feel just about perfect for what they're asked to do.

  6. Re:I'm amazed on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    Did you thinking when you made this post?

    I'm pretty sure that's all that needs to be said.

  7. Re:Not a Luddite, but not a believer either on Honda Makes Motorcycle Talk To Oncoming Cars · · Score: 1

    "oops I did not see you, sorry!" is their favorite line.

    Now it'll be, "Oops, my Honda started making all sorts of strange noises and I looked down at the dashboard to check it out when I slammed right into you. Sorry!"

  8. Highway cloverleaves, bridges, tunnels.... on Honda Makes Motorcycle Talk To Oncoming Cars · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't one receive a boatload of false alarms as they approached a split level intersection such as a highway cloverleaf or an underpass? How accurately can GPS determine altitude?

  9. ROM on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    http://www.fastexercise.com/ I'm dying to know how this thing works. Get it and report back in a few weeks.

  10. Shredder on Identity Theft From Tossed Airline Boarding Pass? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I haven't seen him in forever. All he does is hang out with Krang in Dimension X anymore...

  11. Re:Oh goody! A new MSFT Feature/Option hunt!! on Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    That girl that nobody wants to date comes from the richest family in the world. I'll date her...
