  4. matrix on Thirty-Three States Contributed to the MATRIX · · Score: 0, Redundant

    how much of all this anti-terror stuff is really making us safer? I mean look at your airfare next time, we're paying a lot more money to be body searched at the airport now.

    I kind of doubt Gateway would ever change its name. I mean Gateway or eMachines? Ugh.

  6. new method on Microsoft Rereleases Patch to Fix Problems · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Microsoft needs a new method of installing these patches. How many us have spent HOURS a day installing and installing and rebooting and rebooting.

  7. No Social Life? on A Peek At Script Kiddie Culture · · Score: 2, Funny

    The quote that says young adolescents have no social life is pretty damn funny.

  8. Nintendo release on Sony Delays PSP To 2005 · · Score: 1

    Maybe now Nintendo won't have to release the DS in a hurry then.

  9. Pretty Funny on Corbis, DMCA, And John Kerry Photos · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think we're going to see more of this in the future. Remember the famous shark in san fran harbor pic?

  10. $11k on Space Burial · · Score: 1

    $11,000 doesn't sound so bad, anyone here up for it? Space burials, who would of thought of this?

    someone has a lot of time. what's with the first comment on this thread? terrorist?

  12. Lower Prices on Diamond Age Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    It's only a matter of times before diamonds become cubic zircona like in prices. Well as long as these guys don't patent the whole process.

  13. Debeers! Da Bears! on The Galaxy's Largest Diamond · · Score: 1

    DeBeers probably launching rockets as we speak to mine that diamond.

  14. Oh Freedom, Oh Freedom.. on ESR's Open Letter to McNealy: Set Java Free! · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Let the technology go! Let it be free!

  15. JUST SAY NO TO TAXES on FCC Rules On Pulver Free World Dialup · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It looks like FCC is leaning toward saying VOIP will not be taxed. That is pretty neat, look at your monthly phone bill and see how much we're paying in taxes. Insane.

  16. Specialization on Specialized Knoppixes for Fun and Profit · · Score: 5, Funny

    The specialization of Linux continues. Soon we'll have linux for people born in february, Linux for spider lovers, linux for travelers..

  17. Big Deal on PalmSource Drops Mac Synchronization in Cobalt · · Score: 1

    This probably isn't a big deal cuz a 3rd party will jump right in. Makes it a big more expensive for Mac users though, but what are they going to do? Go to PocketPC? lol

  18. Treo 600 on Why Open Source Makes Sense For Handhelds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Treo 600 just works great. I mean who cares about DRM when you can Divx on Palm OS5 already? Also ebooks? You can just download books, put them in .doc format, and read it with Docs to Go. The applications on the Palm OS just work great - Docs to go to read/write Office docs, Verichat for instant messaging, SnapperMail for email. Why bother with the customization and the quirky linux interface, when you want a smartphone that just works fast and well with great software.

  19. good idea but prob not secure on Digital Camera Image Verification · · Score: 1

    I think this is a nice attempt, but at some point this system will be beaten also.

  20. If true on Groklaw Traces Contribution of ABIs back to SCO. · · Score: 1

    If this is true, SCO is the lamest of the lame.

    This is great news for the nerds and space geeks in all of us. More 3d pics coming soon!

  22. Re:Sure shot... on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1

    Yeah the government has great benefits, great hours, and long term job stability.

  23. Eisner is an Idiot! on Pixar Drops Disney To Find a New Studio Partner · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Eisner is a total idiot for letting Pixar go. They were practically stealing from Pixar getting 1/2 the profits plus a distribution fee. Mr. "Mickey Mouse" CEO has now fully gutted the Disney animation legacy. All the talent has either been laid off or fled to Dreamworks and Pixar. What a darn shame. I mean Treasure Island vs. Shrek & Finding Nemo? Total disaster.

  24. grrr... on Anti-Virus Companies: Tenacious Spammers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I totally agree, they AV co's need to shape up their act. It's a weird situation, do they really want to be THAT effective to really stop viruses, or will they be like Chinese on piracy and put up a show.

  25. IMO NO WAY on Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005? · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Microsoft is just going to copy Sony's moves, the co is already losing tons of money each xbox anyway, especially because they are not vertically integrated like Sony. What are this guys sources anyway?
