  1. An Easy Workaround on Clickers Redefining Classrooms · · Score: 0

    For me in my USC Physics class we just gave 10 of our clickers to one person and rotated who went to class when. I gladly took the vacation from class in exchange for 90 minutes pressing buttons on nearly a dozen devices once every two weeks. A good idea but as with all technology in the classroom it can be exploited quite easily.

  2. Re:Tigger.. on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: -1

    How about Mac OS X Liger?

  3. In Soviet Russia on Microsoft To Sell Win XP Starter Edition In Russia · · Score: -1

    KSFO not KFSO but yeah it was Brian Sussman

  5. Re:Nifty for the price - but not a Squeezebox on Apple Rolls Out AirPort Express, AirTunes · · Score: 0, Interesting

    This is the standard operating procedure for Apple, a device centered around your computer use, that works primarily with their own software so as to seamlessly integrate with your computer, and why support competing formats when Apple supports MP3 and AAC open audio standards instead of the Windows proprietary WMA. As for multi-room sync keep in mind that this is a first release and apple is sure to improve upon this model. Besides you can't beat that crisp white design and smooth curves, nothing looks better than an Apple product. I am headed down to the Apple store in Palo Alto to check it out but so far it looks like it gets the job done and does it well.

    So the real news is that New Zealanders need something to occupy their time.

  7. wait a minute on 80,012 Text Messages In One Month · · Score: 3, Funny

    so his plan was that by showing them that more messages were sent when the company charged for them , somehow this company would decide against the extra income and return to free text messages. Hmmm, well we can't all be geniuses.

    I definitely read virtual bukakke machine when I first read the article. Maybe its time to turn off the porn and go outside for a bit.

  9. Sunday Afternoon Science on Data Transfer Has A Speed Limit · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why do I get the feeling that this research evbolved out of trying to find cool stuff to fire particle beams into. Particle Physicist #1: The monitor was cool, but let's try the hard drive next. Particle Physicist #2: Electron or Alpha particle bombardment? PP #1: Alpha of course... (Giant flash of light) PP#1 and PP#2: COOOOOOOL!!!!!

  10. Re:my 84 vw rabbit... on Technology Makes New Cars Too Expensive to Fix · · Score: 0

    My 1969 BMW goes 130, gets 24 miles to the gallon, and cost less than my computer, you cant beat german cars when it comes to maintenance, especially for older models. Its also fun racing porsches in a car that doesnt look like it could hit 60 on the freeway. New cars = overrated

  12. Re:What, no more Roman gods? on The Sun's 10th Planet... Sedna? · · Score: 0

    Our own rock deserves the "goofy" moniker far more than any other planet. how about the irish Danu, mother of the gods, for that tenth planet.

  13. Dang on Own Your Own (Replica) ISS Module · · Score: 1, Funny

    "No discounts or coupon codes may be used with this item." I'm never going to get to use my "Buy one space station get one free coupon."

  14. Microwave Nostalgia on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 0

    I don't think i'll ever outgrow that "what happens when we put this in the microwave" stage of my life. Gummy bears are particularly fun by the way. Also on cold days before school, i used to pop my clothes in there quickly for that fresh out of the dryer feel in only 30 seconds.

  15. Very cool on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Personally I can't think of a better way to use my 20 dollar bills, I'm going to empty my bank account tomorrow, this will be hours of fun.

  16. Good news, bad news on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 0

    Good news: You just recieved 1000 DVDs Bad news: They are all copies of Kazaam No wonder that video shop went out of business.

  17. Excellent! on Do-It-Yourself Electronic Enigma Machine · · Score: 1

    Now no one can understand what I am saying... not that they understand what I talk about anyway.

  18. Re:Cynicism :-) on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Coppola's merlot's include a significant number of grapes bought from other wineries. In fact there is so much moving around of grapes in the California wine industry that it is hard to pinpoint a singe taste or style for a geographic region. Quality of wines in this day and age is more dependent on the technology used after harvest rather than the grapes going into the harvest. BTW, if the Skywalker wines become popular look for them to begin buying grapes as well, after all they are selling a brand image more than a great tasting wine, and its cheaper to buy than produce good grapes.

    RIAA sues you! Oh wait thats everywhere... http://www.riaa.com/news/newsletter/021304.asp

  20. New Space Race on Russia Working on Soyuz Replacement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "It has already reached a serious project stage while the Americans are only talking about their spacecraft." Hmm, I wonder if were going to be seeing renewed competition in reusable spacecraft. What do you want to bet that the Russians announce plans for a Mars mission as well.
