    Perhaps they could advertiser support it. A chance for all to learn, sponsored by... advertisers. Works on Slashdot.

  2. your developer copy on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I am not a developer but was wondering. Using Mail, would it be possible to have a script that could be used to post information to iCal. For instance: address would be your iCal, subject line (or CC line) would be title of particular calendar; and then of course there is the date and time. I say this because it seems not only logical, but because the interface is easier for many reasons, one being that we use E mail so often. What do you think?

  3. late post, but on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    The rumor now is that we should also pay for blackberries, cell phones and pagers.
    I know this is a late post to the discussion, but what this is beginnging to look like is technological Road Warrior phenomena not to far off in the future. Wouldn't you agree.

  7. fine print on An 802.11 Router For 3G Internet Service · · Score: 1

    So true, and these companies feeling the pressure to rush to market, to be there first, with new apps, hardware,etc. forget that it's all in the timing to make it come together for the end user. And selling something that almost, halfway works. I guess that's all taken care of in the fine print.

    Didn't we have a similiar discussion when the world went from vinyl records to the CD disk?

  10. Re:Excellent. on NASA Eyes Cash Prizes Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    And this is a very real possibility in the not so near future. But private contractors aren't always the answer when it comes to government money as there are many instances of abuse. Far better the alternatives left unfettered by government money and politics.

  11. Re:Give away land on the moon! on NASA Eyes Cash Prizes Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    I don't know about the Viagra sign, but we did lay claim to the moon when we landed and set the flag. I guess that makes it ours to give away. Another arrogant American act that the world can call us names about, but hey, let's be fare; First one to Mars can give it away.

    Exactly, and just like Prohibition, no one stopped drinking, everyone just got a little more careful.

  16. Re:How long will this go on? on The RIAA Sues 482 More People · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, I think the think the question really should be: How can the recording industry be so stupid as to be represented by an association that by it's very actions drives it's customers away. Oh yea I forgot, the industry choose them. Then they deserve to die the slow death that they have chosen.

    Wow. I guess Microsoft wants to continue losing money on this box too. I thought with games, the object was to win.

  19. web site viewing on Hits or Misses: Who is Your Website's Audience? · · Score: 1

    Like television, it's all page views. It's not complicated. It does not matter who viewed, or when, or repeated, or same computer but another person. Eyeballs, a pair of eyeballs come to the page x times a day. This is the number to go with. Now if you have a membership and can get demographics in the sign up form, that is another story.

  20. Re:Apple's Tech Support SUCKS on Apple Expands (Again) iBook Logic-Board Program · · Score: 2

    I get great customer service on all issues. I treat the person on the other end of the line like a human being, even use humor at times, and they have never failed me. Have you ever tried the customer service with other companies? Most of them fall way beneath that of Apple. I know it's frustrating at times, but the machine still blows away a PC.

  21. Surf over to the Real Story on Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up · · Score: 1

    The REAL story here is not that humiliating guests is fair, or naughty or nice, or anything. The REAL story is, and all /.'rs should know this, that television is dying, and in it's last days will try to do anything to get anyones attention, be it so called reality television, crass humor or out and out lies. Television is and always has been in denial of the fact that the Internet, and all that goes with it, is it's replacement. Asta La Vista Baby!

  24. Re:...Like Dancing About Architecture on Winning Critical Acclaim · · Score: 0

    Yes, critics do look backwords. They have no antenna for feeling the future. Pop music by its very nature is hard to predict. Like fashion, the trends in Pop music come from the street. In fashion you keep your eyes open, with music you listen carefully to the trends and hopefully you are honest enough to write for yourself, because ultimately that is the only way you are going to tap the emotions that make a great hit song. Yea, yea, yea...
