  1. Google Local Has Been Great on Google Local, Definitions, & Registrar · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have used google local for a while now, and I have to say that it has performed great, usually giving accurate results. There was this one time however where it gave a wrong location, and I was prepared to walk about a mile or two to get there, before I called the actual place and confirmed it. Google's stuff, even when in "Beta" has worked great 99% of the time for me, especially gmail.

  2. Re:Just Trust What Apple Gave You... on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1

    I did read the article for your information... but I am not that familar with overclocking. I assumed that overclocking a slower chip to a faster speed would produce more heat than a chip designed to work at that speed. Plus, the 1.42 GHz model might employ a large/more efficient/more expensive heatsink. I was just trying to point out the possibilities.

  3. Just Trust What Apple Gave You... on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1, Informative
    First of all, the mac mini is cooled passively... It is designed to dispate the heat of what stuff Apple put in there. I know the attitude might be to do it for the sake of doing it, but why ruin a perfectly good mac-mini through overheating with it, with a relatively small gain in performance. I hope people don't do this in the long run as a permanent solution.

    Weird... I swear I can see the rover having left the lander...

  6. Re:First post on Asteroid Flies Under the Radar, Literally · · Score: 4, Informative

    NASA's Deep Impact is going to impact a comet to study the composition of it. If sucessful the impact will create a crater on the surface. It has little to do with breaking up asteroids.

  7. Re:You're joking, right? on President Bush's Money For Space Cometh · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh yeah, just to let you know, White Dwarfs don't fuse material into iron. They are finished with all of their fusing, and simply radiate the heat out that they have built up over time.

  9. Re:Fossils on the Bench on Federal Judge: Keystroke Logging Isn't Wiretapping · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't mean to sound like a flamebait, but the parent has a very good point. Maybe it is time to consider the fact that while with age comes wisdom, with age also comes irrelevance with current day. They might represent the ideals of the people from when they were in their prime, but they certainly do not reflect on today's technological society in general. Maybe voting for justices?

  10. Torrents? on Nielsen Will Measure TV ratings Among DVR Users · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder if they'll ever start surveying torrent downloaders of tv shows... :)

  11. Re:site not found on Detailed Changes In Star Wars DVD Release w/Pics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I was under the impression that perhaps it was a case of the shorter the route, the more difficult it was. Perhaps taking shortcuts through more dangerous areas would require more skill, but could be done faster and in a lesser distance. Therefore a larger distance traveled would imply a lack of skill for taking an easier route.

  12. Zero Emissions? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I thought it had CO2 as an output...?

  13. In soviet Georgia Tech... on University Bans Wireless Access Points · · Score: 4, Informative

    At Georgia Tech, wireless access points are already banned from rooms. You can usually find some though by war.. roaming down resident halls. The rooms aren't really big enough to need wireless anyway, though.

  14. Hmmm... on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess apple had the right idea a while back when they stopped using floppies... It might have been a little bit early though, before the huge rise of usb memory drives.

  15. Ummm.... on Wheat Field Wi-Fi · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why put it in the middle of a wheat field...?

  16. Re:The All-in-One is cool, on Apple VP discusses iMac G5 Hardware Design · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A middle school really doesn't need a powerful G5 processor when you think about it though. If they're just going to maybe browse the web, and maybe have a few games installed, perhaps the eMac would be a more affordable solution : Apple Store

    Although this is a great new technology, for a business setting, I don't know if even missing one e-mail is acceptable...

  20. Re:Where is all the water now? on Mars Rovers Find More Evidence of Water · · Score: 5, Informative

    I think that the leading theory is that the water is locked up beneath the surface as permafrost.

  21. Re:Funny messages on Mars Rovers Find More Evidence of Water · · Score: 4, Informative

    The rovers are taking some wear from the martian environment. At one point I heard that one of the wheels on one of the rovers began experiencing more resistance to moving. I suppose the dust and dirt are begining to clog and gum parts up on the rover.

    However, are cars or arms used mostly for illegal smuggling of media? While I know that p2p is great for downloading legal stuff, the majority of people using it are downloading illegal things.

  23. Odd.... on Net Phone Customers Brace For 'VoIP Spam' · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm not sure if I'm an exception to the case, but I never get any spam. If I get a voip address, I'll just use the same methods I do now. Create a dummy account for signups, be careful how I post my address on the internet, etc.

  24. Great Idea! on Big Brother In Your Front Seat · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I would gladly install one of these in my car. It would provide hard evidence in the case of an accident or unlawful speeding ticket.
    Hey... maybe they should make them mandatory in police cars to stop all those speeding cops... Anyone else notice how cops are immune to the speed limit?

  25. FireFox on MSIE 7 May Beat Longhorn Out The Gate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, firefox was able to grab my interest before IE. Even with the new features, I will stick with firefox because of the community that maintains it.
