  1. Re:1669 hours... a perspective on Fifty Years of Color Television · · Score: 1

    However you should never underestimate the parallel processing ability people have:

    They watch TV, at the same time, they may do one or more of following:

    1) cook
    2) eat
    3) chat
    4) exercise
    5) surf (internet)
    6) f**k
    7) whatever you can imagine!
    8) ...

    The truth is, most people just let the TV on to have some background noise, and they continue whatever they are doing. This is just a habit, nothing wrong with it. The survey is biased, instead they should also poll, what people are doing when they watch TV.

  2. The parent post is rant and biased. on Intel's Pentium 4 3.4GHz Processors Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    You'd better look at the results from TomsHardware before starting to rant about it. They are clearly drawing the conclusion tht AMD is better than Intel. Do NOT bring your biased personal taste toward other websites up here!

  3. Martian people's thought? on NASA Develops Tech To Hear Words Not Yet Spoken · · Score: 1

    I really want to know what Martian people think about us greedy Earth people. But I am not sure if they also have Adam's apple?

    BTW: how do you do with the thought of our female friends? They do not have Adam's apple either, are you assuming that their thoughts are not detectable, or they have depleted every word they want to say?

  4. Wrong on Junkie Loves His Spam · · Score: 1

    They are greedy, and definitely won't be satisfied even if everyone on earth buy the product from them! Maybe they will send some spams to Martian people as well, like this one:

    From: goodgirl@penislarge.earth
    To: poormartian@smallpenis.mars

    Want a big penis? Take a trip to Earth and find out how!

    Cheer up! You actually don't have to worry about throwing him into jail. The post at slashdot has already made him notorious and his site is already down. This is the fast and also the very legal way to kick him out of the business.

    What a pity that you didn't post your story on Slashdot last time!

  6. Uptime 99.98%??? on Project Gutenberg 2 Raises Some Hackles · · Score: 2, Funny
    In this page it states
    Since our initial launch time our webservers have had a 99.98% up time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ...
    Posting a story about it on slashdot will definitely change their stated uptime. :-)
  7. This is exactly what I did! on Lifting The Lid On Computer Filth · · Score: 1

    I disassemblly my keyboard and washed it with water and a hard brush, it comes out like a new keyboard!
    The first picture is after removing the keys,
    the second is the plastic that cover the underlying circuits,
    and the third is the keyboard after being heavily washed.

  8. True according to the news: 300Mhz Prescott on Intel Plans CPU Naming Change · · Score: 1

    Intel has a plan to release 300Mhz Prescott, which would run blazing fast and quiet!

  9. Your idea does not work. out so easily on Second Generation Homebrew PVR Devices · · Score: 4, Insightful

    First, the ASUS box has HDTV output, you cannot get a HDTV tuner with whatever box under 400 USD. Check it by yourself.

    Second, Using MythTV with USB TV Card is a pain in the ass.

    Third, Do you really want to stack many USB boxes on top of your box? Is it a CLEAN solution? Besides, these USB DVD/TV may require their own external power supply.

    Don't always assume DIY is the best. I think ASUS is quite impressive, building the whole thing around 400 USD>

  10. Already slashdotted on WiFi Phone Announced · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously it's maximum throughput is limitted to 11Mbps, as indicated by the underlying tech (802.11b)

  11. Re:The spammers weak spot is the money he makes. on Spam Solutions from an Expert · · Score: 1

    Sorry but your idea does NOT work.

    1. Most spammers use faked email address, they DO NOT suppose you to answer them. They want you to click the link, they want you to buy something, they want to install some spyware, adware or what-so-ever-ware on your computer!

    2. Who can block the phone call to a certain number, who can block everyone's access to a certain website, and who can block a real physical position (address)? Spammers make profit in the hope that 0.000001% of the receivers would click the link, make a phone call, or write a snailmail to that address.

    It seems that you don't understand how spamming works. This is a social problem, and cannot simply be "blocked".

    sorry I don't know who bill gate is. I only know gates.

  13. Re:Actual letter to Real Networks on Real's Reality · · Score: 1
    Maybe it is true for that customer, but I only clicked three or five times to get RealPlayer 10, although a beta version.
    What I did:
    • go to homepage www.real.com
    • click that big download button
    • in the second page on the right column you can find the "Download Free RealPlayer" link. It is not so obvious as the orange button, but nontheless also quite visible.
    • click it, and download the exe.
    Seems that their page design has greately improved. At least for now.
  14. It is funny! on Details Of Palm OS 6 - 'Cobalt' · · Score: 5, Funny
    Palm OS Cobalt is designed to enable multiple applications to run simultaneously, so users gain more productivity and a better user experience. For example, a user can listen to MP3 files, book a calendar appointment and take an incoming phone call.
    wow! I really don't know how to listen to MP3 AND make phone call, AND GAIN PRODUCTIVITY! Can anybody tell me?
  15. Re:SIGGRAPH keynote: geometry instead of dark ener on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 1

    If my memory is not wrong, Riemann's geometry and other non-Euclidean geometry have greatly fostered the discovery of relativity thoery.
