  1. First DirectX 9.0c, now .Net (Flush...) on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Oh boy, here we go again.

    M$ killed DirectX 9.0c, and replaced it with incompatible XNA (aka DX10) -- this orphaned DXSound and other DX components. Sorry developers, wouldn't want to be ya.

    Now the abandonment of SilverLight and .Net.

    O well, lesson learned -- the hard way. Ha I wonder if this is because Visual Studio licenses are not meeting revenue expectations and the cash cow is drying up.

  2. Ah nice on HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt · · Score: 1

    I didn't know they had separate cleaning cartridges. Thanks, I'll try that.

  3. It's like buying a GM car that will only run on on HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt · · Score: 1

    gas from a GM gas station. Ludicrious. My Epson uses a ton of ink just to clean the heads -- which is required constantly. If I used manufacturers ink, it would cost a dollar a page to print. I sometimes wonder if the cleaning process is designed to consume more ink.

  4. CLI sueing it's way to $ucce$$ on JPEG Patent Challenged · · Score: 1

  5. I would not be so quick to hand out my Bio ID on Global DNA Project to Study Human Ancestry · · Score: 1

    50 years ago no one ever dreamed of identity theft and we gave out our social security numbers like candy on Holloween. Fast forward to 2005, ID theft has reached crisis proportions -- and the govt is either unwilling (or unable) to do anything about it. I would not be so quick to hand out my Bio ID (DNA).
