  1. Re:Jennifer Government .... on Microsoft's High School Opens in PA · · Score: 1

    Good book. "The Company", also by Max Barry, may also apply well to this school.

  2. No Certs???? on Microsoft's High School Opens in PA · · Score: 1
    I was expecting there to be some MS Certification requirements before they graduate as well.

    Perhaps by School of the Future 3.0 they'll have them.

  3. XM + Napster on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 2, Informative

    Psssst, RIAA.... XM encourages users of the Inno (and other new XM2Go models) to purchase music that they like through Napster. http://www.xmradio.com/napster/

  4. Re:Next-gen DVD on Classic Star Wars Trilogy Finally on DVD · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I thought. It is basically his last chance to release it on regular DVD..... to then relase it in a few years in HDDVD/Blueray. Yay money!

  5. Re:Blackberries: a management problem! on Defending RIM Blackberry Against Productivity · · Score: 1

    Email itself is a management problem. There are a lot of people at my office that will send an email and then anywhere from 0-15 minutes later they are coming over to my desk or calling me expecting that I have read their email and want answers.

  6. Re:Steamed to my TV.. but not from my PC on Viiv 1.5 May End Traditional Media PCs · · Score: 1
    In a perfect world it would be great to have the local video store or cable company or telco manage all the GB's of TV shows and movies.

    However what happens when Tom Cruise wont promote MI4 unless the video store/cable company/telco appends a non fast forwardable/skippable copy of Battlefield Earth to anything you want to watch?

  7. Bad news for me on Blackberry Injunction Postponed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I could have gotten out of pager support this weekend.

  8. Re:Yes, and no - iTunes is the future - XM is not. on Internet Radio Failing to Find Support? · · Score: 1
    I would say yes and yes. To me, they complement each other quite well.

    Without a source of random new music how do you know what you want to buy? Sure iTunes will give you a 30 second clip of a song, but quite often that is not enough to judge a song.

    XM's new portable receivers are tied into Napster( Should be iTunes, but I guess Steve wouldn't play ). If you hear a song on XM while you are listening you tag it and then later you can purchase the song though Napster.

  9. Woah, check the numbers man on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 1

    210 is totaly half of 420. Think about it.

  10. Re:This is simply the price of outsourcing. on Security Breach Exposes 40M Credit Cards · · Score: 1
    Banks outsourcing in the late 90's? It is still going strong today.

    Oh well i'm sure that they all have iron clad SLAs with their outsourcing partners.....and when the outsourcing partner goes bankrupt as a result of royaly screwing up.....Oh well. I guess it is just time to bring in some more consultants to find a new and better vendor (or break down the process even further for more vendors). Good times....good times

  11. ExpressVu PVR on Dish Network Dishes Source Code for DVR · · Score: 1

    Do they have the source code for the dishnetwork version of the expressvu 5900 PVR? The code it runs needs some work. Missed recordings, broken search, broken guide, etc.

  12. Re:Here in Canada... on Radio Listening Declining w/ Digital On Its Way Up · · Score: 1

    Very true. The CRTC better not try and get their dirty paws into trying to regulate internet radio.

  13. Re:Ps3 performance against Xbox2 on Live Picture of the Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    Ps2 can render Toy Story in real time too!

  14. I would pay good money for more NIN tunes on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 1

    Hopefully Trent puts out a DVD of his tracks in garageband format.

  15. Re:why as garageband on Trent Reznor Challenges Music Norms · · Score: 1
    That's right, why can't Trent make music that is easily accessible to everyone.

    Come on Trent, sugar up your tunes, enough with the anger already.

  16. Re:Think of the children on U.S. to Require Passport To Re-Enter Country · · Score: 1

    By the time I was 16 my parents had taken our family to Florida and Myrtle Beach for 2-3 week vacations at least 10 times. We never had passports.

  17. Re:Mistake: on Microsoft to Acquire Groove Networks · · Score: 1

    Probably the same direction as Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net

  18. My 1995 DVD Player..... on Build Your Own TV Without Broadcast Flags · · Score: 1

    ...could walk the dog and make waffles. Too bad they took those features out before DVD players actually came to market.

  19. Steve Jobs reply to John Carmack on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    I hope that Steve Jobs replied to John Carmack, " I think you mean what would happen if they'd put 104 more keys on the keyboard.....sucka!"

  20. Re:Disney has a chance on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1
    When Eisner came on he was the man who turned Disney around. There was another man (who I do not recall right now) who was hired around the same time. This person was in a more senior position than Eisner. That person was more responsible for the turnaround.

    Unfortunately that person passed on and Eiser took over. The downward spiral started shortly after.

  21. Re:Grey market satellite dishes on What's Going On in Canada? · · Score: 1
    "it is nice to know that if I turn to Pulse 24 it covers Canadian news."

    Indeed. If I ever get a US dish, I'll still subscribe to Canadian cable/satillite so I can get Pulse 24.

  22. Re:Marketing on Tiger Early Start Kit · · Score: 2, Insightful
    129 Bucks! How much does a non upgrade/ non discounted copy of Windows XP Pro cost? Hint, it is more than 2x 129.

    Also MS dinged users with Plus! packs and 98 SE.

    PS, Imagine if automakers did the same thing! Good thing they give me free upgrades every year. I've had a new Honda Civic every year since the 70's! Woo hoo!

  23. Re:Beatles Lawsuit? on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 1

    The 1st Gen Dual USB iBook that I purchased a few years ago had about 600 MB of mp3s on it. Does that count as physical media?

  24. Only ~150% more than you want to spend.... on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1
    But, have a look at the DC/Incase skatebag.

    http://www.goincase.com/prod_laptop/prod_lt_dcpack .php

  25. Re:New Math on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 1

    3.5 baristas for every MS employee!
