  1. cabling is so 90's... on 1Gbps Broadband Service for Hong Kong · · Score: 2, Insightful

    who says we'll even be using as much cable in 5-10 years with all the advances in wireless technologies.

  2. Re:This solution will not be feasible... on The House Building Machine · · Score: 1

    Yes it is unfortunate in this field we have so many illegals working in dangerous conditions, heck i seen some poor illegal get his foot smashed like a pancake by a Bobcat and they put him in a car and drove him off never to be seen again before the inspector gets back. Probably went to some cheap no degree doctor in the ghetto. In the construction industry we refer to these people as a "Mexican Back Hoes". In this business its usually accepted that the white guy is in charge even though some laborers might know more than the supervisor.

  3. Re:Letting Steam Off on Half-Life 2 - Aftermath · · Score: 1

    To back this up there is a steam survey which clearly shows how many people have broadband and a measly 1.71% still have 56k. http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html

  4. Re:Letting Steam Off on Half-Life 2 - Aftermath · · Score: 1

    That's the problem is there are a minority of people making a scene of a majority and giving steam the bad wrap. Illegal copies of Half-Life 2 are very hard to keep updating and are making people actually buy it for once, just look around at all those forums and listen to the people say "alright i give up, i'll just buy the game".

    As a kid in middle school years ago we used to always be advised by the teachers to use Ask Jeeves, but once i showed the teacher that there were much better alternatives than that they soon changed.

  8. Re:in other news today... on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1

  9. Re:While it is sad to see them go on General Motor's EV1 Electric Cars Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Down at the Cypress Community college Toyota sponosors our auto education section. They donate/lease all the cool prototypes of the hybrid and other vehicles from their headquarters down the street. Very cool technology and very easy to work on compared to other rival hybrids. Toyota is very enthusiastic about their new hybrids and have proved to us technically and driving wise that they are very reliable and they know that they have GM sweatin like a mad man to catch up especially price wise. Hydrogen vehicles that Toyota has shown are very sleek and looking forward to more prototypes, but there is grumbling going on between auto technicians about hydrogen and their fuel distribution stations and whether it will really work out or is it being pushed to hard.

  10. Subliminal message on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 1

  11. Trigger Happy TV on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    If anybody ever watches the show on Comedy Central and they show the clip of the guy talking really loud into a 4 ft big cellphone.

    It's hilarious, he'll be standing in the middle of a museum and all of a sudden ring ring ring, "HELLO! AHH YESS IM IN THE MUSEUM RIGHT NOW!!!" and this is all at the top of his voice with everybody standing around staring at him like he's a moron. He does many more like in the middle of a movie theatre, sitting in a restaurant and many more.

    I notice people have problems keeping up with the technologies and keeping control of 20 different remotes to operate everything, whats wrong with having one universal remote.
