  1. Re:Holy shit... on Neowin interviews Ben Goodger, Justin Frankel · · Score: 1

    It's really not that hard to tell which links to click. And I think the whole point of HTML is to link to other relevant pages, so that you don't have to look up everything.

    Way to call attention to your ADD.

  2. Re:Retirement: Whoo hoo! on Age Discrimination, Indian-Style · · Score: 2, Informative

    You could be a team leader for 2 years before the famine.

  3. Re:I'd never buy one of these! on Plextor First With A 12x DVD+R Drive · · Score: 1

    Looks like it doesn't blink in IE. Try it in firefox for blinking action.

    I guess this is one way to see who is really using open source.

  4. $350 ? on Building A Museum Listening Station? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I need to get into the museum sound business.

  5. Re:AMD's opinion... on Intel Drops Tejas, Xeon To Focus On Dual-Core Chips · · Score: 1

    This is how it always goes. They have the capability to make faster or better processors, but don't because people are still buying the slower ones. It's not like there is some breakthrough that let's them create the next fastest chip. For example: when sales start to drop on the 2ghz processor, they say OK let's release that 3ghz processor. And some guy flips a switch and they start making the 3ghz (I know it's probobly not THAT easy)

  6. Re:A bunch of unsold invites on Gmail Addresses For Sale · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and it's pretty sad that out of 1000 invites 18% of them ended up on ebay.

  7. Re:What use is 5.1... on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    If you're downloading music, CDs don't necessarily have to come into play at all. I don't think they care that you will not be able to utilize the full capability of the "Super-MP3" if you are ripping or burning CDs.

  8. Joke on Flexiglow Illuminated Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Is this article a joke?

    The keyboard came in a very nice box that has the picture of the keyboard on the front and specifications on the back. The box is about the size of the keyboard so it's very compact.

    They can't be serious.

  9. Re:It was a heist of great porportions. on Verizon's NYC 911 System Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Nah, it was Ashton Kutcher:

    "Hah hah ha dood you just got PUNKED!!!"
    "Oh, you're dead?"

    "I don't care, best punked ever"

  13. Re:good thing.......i guess on HP Starts Pushing Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, i'd be happy with a power switch that worked right on a HP. My gf had one that would act retarded and beep every time you tried to turn it on. And at least with linux you don't have to get security updates 4 times a day.

  14. derrr what's linux? on HP Starts Pushing Desktop Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Time for Microsoft to crank that brain-wash ray up to full power.

  15. Jump the shark on Retro Vision · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm just waiting for jump the shark for websites. Then there can be retro fan sites about retro-tv sites. "Remember that A-team site..."

    I guess you didn't notice, they have star naming too.

    EARTHVIEW SERVICE I Introduced in 2002, this new service places a 1 gram sample of the cremated remains into Earth orbit. The Celestis memorial satellite eventually reenters Earth's atmosphere and harmlessly vaporizes, blazing like a shooting star in final tribute. This service provides: * The launch of a 1g symbolic portion of the cremated remains into Earth orbit * Flight capsule imprinted with personal message * Invitation to the launch event * Personalized video of launch event and memorial ceremony * Dedicated virtual memorial of the deceased on our website * Contribution to the Celestis Foundation * Performance assurance Price of Service: $995. Payment plans are available.
    For $1000 they send 1 gram into orbit for $6000 7 grams.
  18. Cheesy on Space Burial · · Score: 0

    They could at least have a more professional looking web presence. That spam-like page just screams rip-off.

    With computer controlled vehicles, armed with computer controlled weapons, who needs soldiers?
