    Pro sees no benefits whatsoever in this environment; it's no more stable, functional or secure.

    Ahem... Home is single processor ONLY.... I'm not even sure if it supports the two "virtual" processors made in hyperthreading.

    It would be really awsome to have the option of installing Firefox or Opera instead of IE. Who wants to lay bets on that?!?!

  4. Hrrrm.... What about interference?? on Magnetic Computing Takes a Step Forward · · Score: 1

    I was wondering about this whole electro-magnetic relationship and cell phones. I've already proven to my IT department that I can shut down my |)ell computer by calling my LG phone(GSM)that rests on top of my computer. I wonder what the EMR from the same phone would do to a magnetic based logic......

    They started seeing a slow down cause of all the other options that are cropping up; Opera(free) being one of them. Just a thought...

    Yeah, but then you can't play games like:

    "Special Ed"

    "Evangelical Christian"

    "Guy who gets turned on by Telemarketers"

    "I have these voices in my head... "

    "Get head and get Called"

    "Terrets Syndrome Poet"

    and my personal Favorite:

    "How come you don't call more often... I think you don't like me anymore.... *plays gunshot mp3*, *throw something heavy on the floor and drop phone*, *moan*.... why don't you LOVE ME!!!!"

  11. Re:Antitrust on Is AOL The Key to Microsoft 'Killing' Google? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's actually intended more to prevent monopolistic "abuses" and encourage fair play. You can have a monopoly.... just as long as you're not using that power to prevent people from entering the market. Think Netscape v. IE. IE was REQUIRED to be installed by M$oft. Eventually they even made it a "part" of the OS. Effectively FORCING people to use IE. Now, you could use Netscape, but the barrier of entry for Netscape to be used was outrageous because there already was a web browser on the system, so no one installed it.

    The bottom line: The law is to prevent abuses, not bar people from making a monopoly.

    Maybe they will ship wrapped in a small, foldable faraday cage like they are doing with the US pasports. That way you just have to say :

  16. Does this thing remind anyone... on Linux-Powered Humanoid Robot on Sale Friday · · Score: 1

    of Rocky 4... It had that freaky robot maid in there that the brother-in-law tried to hook up with. Of course, that could explain the hair the dude had. Human is incompatabile with the 120V recepticle.

  17. Re:I can just see it now... on New System to Counter Photo and Video Devices · · Score: 1

    Umm, this only works for digital cameras. They, by default can detect and display infrared light. This , coupled with the fact that people can't see infrared (think T.V. remote led) is why they chose to use infrared. Blind digital cameras and not people. Film cameras, however, only detect regular old light since the non-specialized negatives and dyes don't register infrared. So all the press has to do is switch back to film cameras(which most still use anyway) and voila... there goes that shield!

  21. Re:Doom and Gloom on Global Warming Past The Point of No Return · · Score: 1

    Well if everyone is sooooo upset about global warming, I have a quickie solution. We've had the technology for a 50+ years to completely reverse any percieved notion of Gloabl Warming. That technology is know as "Nuclear Weapons." We just bury a few hundred these slightly under the sahara desert and pop them off. We'll make a new sea that will lower the water levels since there's a new place for the oceans to move, and we'll throw enough debris into the air to darken the skies and lower the temperature. There; problem solved.
