  1. Disability on Note Taking Devices for Students? · · Score: 1

    Some other poster mentioned that he had cerebral palsy and that it was next to impossible for him to write longhand, but he was capable of typing (at a markedly slower rate, I'd imagine).

  2. It's called being a geek. on Note Taking Devices for Students? · · Score: 1

    Not only do I type about twice as fast as I handwrite, but typing gives you the ability of organizing, formatting and editing what you write after the fact.

    Handwritten notes simply don't (unless you feel like wasting time copying them over and over).

  3. Good luck on New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs · · Score: 1

    getting the CMOS aligned properly with your camera's focal plane and keeping it there. Also, good luck somehow getting the shutter release wired to the board's shutter release switch.

  4. Dude, wow. No. on New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs · · Score: 1

    Try getting your prints done on a REAL digital minilab - Noritsu QSS-3213, Fujifilm Frontier 3xx-series, etc. - and tell me your inkjet prints still look better. No way in hell, my man.

    In addition, the emulsions major photo companies use today ARE in fact guaranteed to stay colorfast under proper storage conditions in excess of 30 years.

  5. Re:Heh, this should be short lived. on New Disposable Digital Cameras with LCDs · · Score: 1

    The processing machine is nothing more than an IBM server (either an eServer or Intellistation Z Pro, for Ritz) running some Fujifilm software that receives the images. The software doesn't go around deleting pictures; I don't even think it's capable of doing so.

    Disclaimer: I actually DO work in the photo industry.

  6. Re:spectrum on Shirky on Spectrum Ownership · · Score: 1

    "Note that the ham bands do overlap with the 2.4 gHz region, so by going under the ham rules, a ham operator CAN use a lot more power in that section. But most hams are quite considerate about not interfering with other people, even when they don't legally have to be. For the record, I'm AD5RH, but I've not tried any 2.4 gHz ham stuff. Yet."

    I've thought about this. Have you heard of any hams who've experimented with signal propagation on 2.4GHz using the full-strength (relatively) power we have available to us?

  7. Dude... on Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video? · · Score: 1

    ... you must be seeing some really cheap whores.

  8. Eh? on Pro Photographers that Will Sell the Copyright? · · Score: 1

    "If they have the negatives, they're still going to have to find someone to make a print like the one I made. They're going to have to pay for a custom printer to make it."

    They are? o_O

    Anyone can walk into a Wal-Mart (and I happen to know their labs are well-maintained and keep *precise* process control) and get an 8x10 or nice full-frame bordered 8x12 of any negative for a nominal fee.

    What are you referring to?

  11. Re:The brain is not the person? on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 1

    That *is* interesting, if true. Google's not turning up anything for me, but then I'm exhausted and probably not phrasing my search terms correctly.

  12. Actually... on Is The 6-Month Product Cycle Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    I WAS looking for your personal opinion. :p

    I'm not sure if you could consider the UI an "enhancement," exactly. A lot of people get lost in Luna if they have prior experience to standard Explorer.

    The hardware compatibility issues don't really seem to be "issues" to me. Since XP and 2K share the same driver model, whenever a driver comes out for 2K, it seems to work in XP too.

    But, to each his own.

  13. Don't forget... on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers · · Score: 2, Informative

    ... the emerging phenomenon of wireless mesh networking, which this bill would surely outlaw as well.

    I seriously cannot stand Orrin Hatch. I used to be a Sean Hannity listener until he had Hatch on his program (who proceeded to bump me off the line as a caller, btw).

    Copyright holders (especially media copyright holders): Wake the fsck up. Your existing business model has been obviated by technology. No amount of legislation can save it now. FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE.

  14. I'm curious. on Is The 6-Month Product Cycle Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    In what ways would you say XP differs importantly from 2K?

  15. Damn. on Is The 6-Month Product Cycle Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    You went from Celeron 300 to Athlon 1700? Did you get whiplash?

  16. Mmh, I guess. on Linux Laptop w/ 3.5" Disk, USB, and No Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    I find it endlessly fascinating how many people can be totally obsessed over a pretty face - and what that does to their behaviour - especially online.

    Eh I dunno about that. I've heard Ceren kinda blew up like a balloon recently. Merc's pretty cute.

  20. Heh. on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: 1

    I had no idea he did a bit on that. The only reason I know is from living in Ireland and hopping back and forth to London for a semester.

    That would be "Pounds Sterling."

    And I'm American. Sheesh.

  22. The brain is not the person? on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 1

    Where, then, do you suppose personhood resides? Since the brain is where *all* cognition and feeling happens, we're kind of short on other candidates, aren't we?

  23. Re:I dunno. on They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store · · Score: 1

    Hey, I can dig "playful." I'm a huge BNL and Guster fan. (While their lyrics are not always the least serious, they're hilarious in concert.) I'm all about playful.

    I'm thinking TMBG is just not for me.

    "I live in the UK and there is no legal way for me to have seen this film yet"

    What does this mean? Has it not been released over there? You can still BT it.

  25. I dunno. on They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store · · Score: 1

    I've just never gotten the buzz over TMBG. EVERYTHING they've ever done with the exception of the Malcolm In The Middle theme song has sounded like children's music to me that required approximately the musical talent of my mom to perform and/or compose (hint: my mom has no musical talent).
