  1. Fun technology but on Major New TiVo Service Offerings · · Score: 2, Interesting

    with the low quality content of broadcast media why buy one?

    I'll just stick to my home cinema and dvd collection for now.

  2. Re:Screw hard drives on 4GB HD in Under an Inch · · Score: 0

    Agreed!

    And instead of a single clunky 3 1/4" 40GB hdd in your desktop have 10 4GB microdrives in a raid 5 with hot swap.

    Massive data transfer boost.

  3. Theres plenty of existing on AOL Now Publishing SPF Records · · Score: 0, Interesting

    anti-spam measures available it's just that they're not used as support is not usually included/enabled in SMTP servers.

    Including anti-spam features (not just anti-relaying) within the smtp server seems more appropriate rather than tacking records into dns entries.

    DNS seems imho to be being overloaded with various add ons atm. If we're not carefull DNS will become the new bottleneck on the internet.

  4. Re:WTF? on TI Launches Three New Graphing Calculators · · Score: 0

    It'll come to a point when you hand your calculator in to be graded at the end of the exam!

    Unless they do the job so much better than us.

    Bomb sniffing dogs, mine laying dolphins, cats with cameras implanted in their brains :D

    It's probably a smokescreen to aquire more funds for *other* projects.

    They killed a direct competitor for their hardware.

  7. Re:Late trains on No More Leap Second? · · Score: 0

    that'd be 8 bits = 1 byte

    1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte

    etc etc etc

    not that it really matters :D

  8. GMT :-) on Will Security Task Force Affect OSS Acceptance? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    1'st post of the proper new year!

  9. Re:Perhaps this'll help on The State of Automated Commercial Skipping · · Score: 0

    Just to spell it out

    J o k e ! :D

    Ads are not the only way TV stations make their money. They sell shows to other stations and there are some excellent national TV stations eg the BBC.

    And if you pay a regular subscription to watch TV you're also paying for the priviliedge of watching those ads. ;)

  10. Perhaps this'll help on The State of Automated Commercial Skipping · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    everyone realise that they are being ripped off when a show is sceduled for 1hr but only runds for 40 mins minus the ads.

    Ads are just an excuse to save money on the production costs needed to run a full hour long show.

  11. Re:What about AMD and Sun? on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 1

    And if you thought AMDs ran hot now.... :D

  12. Re:Palladium and trusted computing on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Quoting the Phoenix article linked to in the body of the main article

    "Future versions will take aim at servers, blades, desktops and embedded systems such as consumer electronics, with plans to introduce digital rights management (DRM) and more closely integrate the BIOS with Windows."

    Gonna end up between a rock and a hard place as far as DRM is concerned.

    Those media co.s have to try and squeeze every penny.

  13. And of course on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    no one will ever need more than 640kb of memory.

  14. Re:another system already in use in some parts on UK Police Want An Automotive Tractor Beam · · Score: 2, Informative

    In my town the police routinely leave cars lying around stolen and crashed and take no action until they're torched.

    They don't lock up the buggers who do it.

  15. A better idea is on UK Police Want An Automotive Tractor Beam · · Score: 1, Funny
