  1. Re:Its Marketing ... no information required on Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious' · · Score: 1

    The Ad is basically saying Windows is the comfortable OS - the shoe and food associations are about comfort more so than joy.

  2. Why emulate the keyboard? on Meet the Laptop You Will (Won't?) Use In 2015 · · Score: 1

    If we are going to get rid of the keyboard - get rid of the keyboard!

    New type of keyed interface: Maybe the cell phone generation might adopt something new, but anyone who's parents learnt to type on a typewriter isn't likely to make the switch.

    Voice recognition: Is this just too hard to do right? As a replacement for the keyboard voice recognition doesn't have a chance unless combined with another tech.

    Gesture recognition: Video cameras are everywhere, but this has the same problems are voice entry.

    I'm hoping the synergy of all three can finally kill the keyboard - then I can get my hands on something else. (c:

  3. New Energy Source! on Genetic Modification Produces Mighty Mouse · · Score: 1

    A big wheel at the city dump connected to a generator, and we're in business.

  7. Geek Rage... on Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine Is Universal! · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine all the people working towards that prize that are quite pissed off? Of course, there are going to be many who don't like the proof.

  8. Desk on Mars?! on NASA Spaceship Scouts Out Prime Mars Landing Spots · · Score: 1

    First faces and now furniture...maybe it's some kind of yard sale?

  9. Media blitz for a non-issue = sales... on What Would Make Manhunt 2 Acceptable To BBFC? · · Score: 2, Funny

    BBFC's response has almost sold me on the game. Great work guys!

  10. ...more power saving... on Alienware Puts 64GB Solid-State Drives In Desktops · · Score: 1

    ...do they only power the chips being used?

  12. Security to follow a schedule? on LA Airport Uses Random Numbers To Catch Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Since when has a lonely night job induced regularity in workers, lol?

  13. Re:Waste of time and money... on NSF-Funded "Dark Web" to Battle Terrorists · · Score: 1

    So, basically they'll catch the people that weren't actually going to do anything.

    I've been planning a presidential assassination for years.

  14. Re:Computationally expensive beyond practicality on NSF-Funded "Dark Web" to Battle Terrorists · · Score: 1

    That is exactly what I got from the article.

    Yeah, and I'm a hot 17 year old busty woman looking for a good time.

  16. Waste of time and money... on NSF-Funded "Dark Web" to Battle Terrorists · · Score: 1

    They will only catch the ignorant. Spam filters can't even block all spam, and we are suppose to believe the web can be filtered to find terrorists. Please, stop with lame projects.

  17. Can we stop using harddrives? on Toshiba Boosts Hard Drive Density By 50% · · Score: 1

    Why don't we drop the moving part drives? Can't flash memory and/or battery backed RAM drives replace hard drives?

  18. Re:What are we fighting for? on Iraq War Veterans Protest America's Army Title · · Score: 1

    Of course, I mean profitable to the corporations, or rather the small group of people steering the corporations.

  19. What are we fighting for? on Iraq War Veterans Protest America's Army Title · · Score: 1

    As long as wars are profitable and corporations are making the decisions, marketing spin will follow. If the morale needs to be pumped from the top-down then maybe the cause is not just, or has not been communicated.

  20. Best solution I've heard... on Russia Plans Its Own Moon Base · · Score: 1

    Need to use resources on the moon to build the base. Send some robots there to do the work in a very modular way. Have them work around the clock and it'd easily be done in ten years. The process will mirror the complexity of all the parties involved. (c:

    Clearly there is bad Bush - wasn't it syphilis that got Capone.

  24. What is wrong with not carrying fuel? on The Quest for the Car of the Future · · Score: 1

    Money should be put into building more complex roads that provide the power to the vehicle. It has always been inefficient to carry fuel on long trips.
