  1. Re:Ok on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: -1

    NPD's MusicWatch Digital service, which monitors household usage of P2P services directly from panelists' PCs, reports that the number of households downloading digital music files was up 14 percent in November 2003 compared with September. This up-turn comes after six straight months of declines in digital file acquisition, since April 2003 when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) began a well-publicized campaign threatening individual file sharers with legal action resulting in fines.

  5. Re:Showing my ignorance on Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel · · Score: -1

    Why not just recycle the water.

    H2O -> H + O -> H2O

    I suppose theoreticaly, if the car had some incredible efficent way of making the hydrogen, you wouldn't need to refill at all, maybe the odd top-up.

    Most vehicles use water in their radiators, so you could maybe combine the two systems?

  6. Re:What about safety? on Win the X-Prize Cup · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Fsak safety! Tell you what, you know that the people that fly these things also build them, manage the company etc? These people are producing very interesting designs with not a 'lot' of money (in going-to-space terms), then getting in and riding them into space! This is the kind of shit that rich, intelegent people should be doing with their time, its so much better than a lot of other crap that goes on in the world.

  7. Trailer trash on Space Station Turning Into a Trash Heap · · Score: -1

  12. Re:In the land of empty tanks on Out of Gas · · Score: 0

    Oh yeh, and that food you are so keen on (who isn't) that fuels your body that pedels the bike, where you think that comes from? You have ANY idea how much oil resources go into growing, harvesting, processing, transporting, and selling the food we eat?

  13. Energy on Out of Gas · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We should be spending all this petrolium energy looking for and creating more sustanable resourses.

    Insted more and more people in 'the west' are driving stupid gas guzzling SUV's, and our corporations and goverment are building shorter term infastructure that is bulldozed in 10 years time.

    No one in power has any long term goals, especialy the worlds numero uno oil slut, your friend and ours, George 'Dubya' Bush.

    It's all rather worrying...

  17. Re:*MAGNETIC* fans in my PC? on Japanese Inventor's Motor Uses 80% Less Power · · Score: 1

    Ever smashed up a hard drive? The magnets that enclose the servo drive for the heads are VERY strong. They hurt if you get your finger caught between them, and you have to slide them apart if they stick together.

    send them an email saying something like "type ftp://blah.blah.blah in your internet explorer (would they be using any other browser?) and run the virus remover exe you see there"

    And how the hell is the user supposed to know that is a genuine email? We are trying to STOP people clicking and instaling things, also we are trying to stop people beleiving everything they read in an email message.

    Cut the idiots off and MAIL them a CD with all the patches / updates / anti-virus.
  23. Good on Comcast Cuts Infected PCs' Network Connections · · Score: 1

    They should fine them as well. The great unwashed who think all there is to opersting a computer is pressing the start button and firing up their email program should be scared into GETTING A CLUE. I have to say, the number of PC's I see full to the brim with viri, trojans, spyware, adware etc is frightening. These machines are almost grinding to a hault because of all the malware on them. Its pathetic.
