  1. About Time on Opera to Stop Spoofing User Agent as IE · · Score: 1

    This was kind of silly. About time.

  2. google advertising on Ask Jeeves Looks to Outshine Google · · Score: 1

    All this anti-google stuff is kind of weird, since a big chunk of Ask Jeeves profits come from Google advertising program.

  3. 750m? on Amazon Seeks Divorce, $750M from Toys R Us · · Score: 1

    let's see, i dont' like how the contract is going, so pay me 750m for me to break it... uh.. excuse me?

  4. Network! Not data-networking, social networking. on Recent Grads and Experience Beyond the Desktop? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The best way to do it is an internship. The best way to get a job is NETWORK, NETWORK, and NETWORK. All the jobs I've gotten has always been through someone I knew, who knew someone. So work your friends, friend of friends, and socialize more. Best advice.

  5. Waivers on Court Blocks FCC Media Ownership Rules · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Aren't rules meant to be followed until new rules come, instead of one agency just waiving them?

  6. Re:So... on Build Your Own FreeBSD-powered Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    haha... so funny. the logging thing is kind of cool though.

  7. Microsoft! on Build Your Own FreeBSD-powered Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    Let's just say this will crash less than those Microsoft OS cars. lol

  8. Yes! on Impoverish a Spammer Today · · Score: 1

    We need a more fool proof system than this to make spammers PAY for the distraction and wasted time they inflict on us all. Die die die!

  9. doom3 on Rocket Hobbyists Get Blown Away by Regulations · · Score: 1

    more power to john carmack so he can spend more time away from doom3 and the next gen engine.

  10. lawsuits on P2P Bits · · Score: 1

    the lawsuits are such a joke, they don't impede anyone. and they just make 12 yr olds suffer.

    take it down FTC man.. take it down!

  12. Browser monopoly on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Microsoft browser monopoly is good for us. Yup, good for us. Sigh.

  13. smart idea on NASA Eyes Cash Prizes Of Its Own · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is definitely a smart idea. Think about it? The smartest people are in the private sector, why not use their skills and efficiencies to benefit the race to the stars?

  14. Wow on ATi HDTV Tuner For The PC Arrives · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Wow this is one sweet device, so cheap compared to HDTV Tivo too.

  15. Re:As opposed to the security of PSTN? on Is Security Holding VoIP Back? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Agreed, nothing is inherently secure as the FBI's new proposal for wiretapping comes out.

  16. Re:I don't wnat VoIP on Is Security Holding VoIP Back? · · Score: 1

    Why is depending on the internet for communications a bad idea? It's fault tolerant, a lot of back up ways. On the other hand other systems, just go down and you're stuck.

  17. Marketing and Brand on Is Security Holding VoIP Back? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think the main thing holding VOIP back is the Baby Bells, who have a lot to lose if they keep pushing it. SO it's up to the startups like Vonage to publicize the benefits and the low cost. Unfortunately that will take a LONG time as people just don't know about it.

  18. Re:I wonder how much power it draws on Second Generation Homebrew PVR Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately it will be a long while before the software becomes as easy to use and intuitive like Tivo. Although Tivo's slowness is showing it's age these days.

    WE should all chip in and buy the boss hear a new PDA. lol.
