  1. weird on AOL Builds New IE-Based Browser · · Score: 0, Redundant

    this is really mind-boggling, how is it that now that mozilla firefox has proven it's a viable platform the people who created the mozilla foundation choose ie over ns/ff???

  2. tech knowledge... on Copyright Law Mashup Moving Through Congress · · Score: 2, Insightful

    always nice to see a group of people who are among those who know the least about technology writing the laws that will dictate how it will progress.

  3. hack a server... on A Hack A Day · · Score: 1

    hope they can hack a new server together real quick so i can check it out... sounds cool.

  4. neat app... on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 1

    kind of has the same functionality as the linux app released a while back...

    what i don't understand is why some people are going wild about having 1gb of online storage space...

    if you wanted to you could email yourself 1gb of files split into 10mb chunks and your files would still be online and you wouldn't be violating google's tos...

    just a thought...

  5. ???joke on DefCon World Record Wi-Fi as Comic Strip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    i don't get it...

    must be one of those strips like peanuts...
    not really supposed to be funny...

    deep down i know that somewhere in an it broom closet some sysadmin is wetting himself because of this strip...

  6. ipod on The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware · · Score: 1

    i'd love to see an ipod running newton os or better yet a newton modded to function like an ipod... a big 10lb ipod...

  7. phr3akers on Telecom Outages Now a State Secret · · Score: 1

    i think terrorists are looking to do a little more than annoy people by messing with their dial tone...

  8. this is an easy one on Space Station Turning Into a Trash Heap · · Score: 1

    they just need to right click and choose 'empty recycle bin'

    or they could install an incinerator

  9. worth a look on Web Search Garage · · Score: 1

    i did enjoy google hacks...

  10. m$ secret strategy... on Redmondmag on Dumping IE · · Score: 1

    all m$ needs to do is come out with "internet explorer 7" change nothing except the version # and add some new sexy icons, and they'll be back in favor with the "average user"

  11. Useful... on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    Every little step towards energy independence is a good thing...

  12. got me sold... on Steel Bolt Hacking · · Score: 1

    it's always nice to read these books to see what exploits are availabe and what locks sould be avoided... remember seeing a hope 2k lock picking presentation in which a lock that was supposedly unpickable was defeaded with a moded key and some tape... so it's always good to stay on the up and up...

  13. no mention of news... on XM Radio Plans Online Music Service · · Score: 1

    the article talks about how it's a music service... wouldn't all the xm stations be available to the subscriber???
    i'd be more interested in the service for the news stations and talk radio...

  14. tough crowd... on Bill Gates Gives $20M to CMU for New Building · · Score: 1

    he gives 20 big ones away you say "he should have given 50"...
    he pledges most of his wealth to charity you say "ya but he earned it by (choose)[stealing, monopolizing, kiling baby seals]
    there are folks on /. who would castigate bill if he gave a kidney away...

    you should be a little more mature and try and seperate the man drom the corporation (m$)...
    so he wants his name on the building. wouldn't you? if it was only about having his name on something he could use his massive amounts of cash to have his name engraved on the moon...

  15. forget medicine... on Using Games to Improve Medicine · · Score: 1

    it's a little ot but we could put games to better use...

    who wouldn't want to play soldier of fortune and kill real terrorists at the same time

    all we need are a bunch of devoted /.ers and some cyborgs (they could produce models that look like the governator, richard nixon, al franken...)

    i don't know but we already have unmanned predator drones so this can't be too far off...

  16. looking for kids... on RFID Not Just for Kids · · Score: 5, Insightful

    as long as the technology can't be used by pervs to find kids that are alone... the technology is more of a threat than an aide for groups if it isn't implemented properly...

    finding loopholes in this type of system isn't something that you can afford to do after it's been widely put into use.

  17. why rh and winxp on Geek Olympics Code for Gold · · Score: 1

    i can see the point of redhat but xp has no programming tools built in (not even a damn c compiler) unless you consider notepad a programming tool... REAL HACKERS CODE IN BINARY

  18. if office follows ie... on MS-Sun Agreement Leaves Opening For OO.org Suits · · Score: 1

    if office follows ie and users start to consider other alternatives (*cough* *firefox* *cough*) such as oo.org due to things like viruses i'm sure we'll see the gloves come off very quickly and m$ will litigate and try to take oo.org down.

  19. time to look at gnome? on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 1

    kde has long been my oe of choice... could however be time to give g a peek again...

  20. life after dvd... on MGM Purchase Gives Sony An Edge In Disc Format War · · Score: 1

    more and more homes than ever are networked and if wireless bandwidth or fiber to the curb ever reach the /. crowds desires i don't think we'll be getting our lazy selves over to bl0ckbuster to rent pieces of worthless plastic that need to be brought back the next day...

    if sony is smart they will think more in terms of codecs and compression than plastic (actually paper) and blue rays..

  21. repackaging google on Amazon's A9: How Well Is the Hype Justified? · · Score: 1

    a nice clean site but most people who are currenltly using google will unlikely be compelled to "switch" (would you really be switching?) same results with some extra bells and whistles...

  22. oled + lcd + plasma on Sony Begins OLED Mass Production · · Score: 1

    looks like the market is being flooded with low profile displays... to the lamen all these technologies are one and the same "flat panels" meaning price will be a major factor in driving most peoples choices.

    i certainly look foreward to some price deflation and being able to wallpaper my walls with oleds...

  23. free vs. free and open... on Firefox Browser On An Upward Trend · · Score: 1

    if m$ wants to "compete" and regain their amazing foothold on the market what they should seriously consider doing is making ie open source... the masses are slowly beginning to see that over time open source software is a better choice as problems are quickly reported and fixed...

  24. in the future... on Turn Your House Plants Into Speakers · · Score: 1

    there will be no effective way to tell if someone is insane... saying your plants are whistling show tunes may actually be a factual statement.

  25. mixture of old and new... on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    you mean they didn't have ipods in the days of yore...
