  1. PR to guide purchases on The Google Toolbar PageRank Demystified · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "Can you imagine some surfer finding the digital camera of his dreams at a knock-down bargain price but refusing to buy it because the page it's on only has a PR of one? I don't think so."

    Actually, I've done exactly that. After dismissing it based on the pagerank I read up on the site and found that it was in fact crooked. The author shouldn't take things for granted just because he doesn't trust pagerank...
  2. Not airlines only problem on Database Glitch Grounds American/US Airways · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They are almost bankrupt anyway; this might be the last straw for some customers.

  3. Re:I assumed this from the beginning. on MS admits Newsbot Biased Towards MSNBC · · Score: 1

    I agree. What do you excpect from a Microsoft site? They're going to use their news service.

  4. I hate my system administrator on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 2, Funny

    The system administrator at my school banned me from the computer system for a year because I crashed his server. I don't feel like honoring him.

  5. Picasa for p0rn on Google Acquires Picasa, Improves Blogging Tools · · Score: 1

    lol I just downloaded and ran Picasa on someone else's computer and found tons of p0rn. He is only 14 and I'm debating whether or not to tell his parents. I probably shouldn't.

  6. No chance against Apple on Sony, Walkmans And The iPod · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I really don't think that Sony will be able to compete with the iPod. iPods already have a reputation of being the best of their kind. Unless Sony's model is significantly cheaper or better, people won't buy it.

  7. Re:Security on Custom DVDs & Players For Academy Members · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They will definitely be more secure than normal ones, but I'm sure people will manage to copy them. Why not just plug the output cables of the DVD player into a recording device and let it run.

  8. Re:What's the point? on Dial-Up Audio Public Listening Test Opened · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree that there isn't that much point to testing such low bitrates. People are quickly switching to DSL and Cable, And I think that there won't be many Dial-up users in 2010.

  9. Hubble on Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets · · Score: 1

    It's terrible that the Hubble will be allowed to die when it's still making important discoveries like this. The Bush administration won't support any NASA mission that isn't directly linked to putting men on the moon or Mars. Maybe if they let NASA improve their scientific aspects, NASA could design cheaper, reusable spacecraft.

  10. Re:Excellent on A Parent's Guide To Linux Web Filtering · · Score: 1

    You must be an extremely sick and twisted person. I feel sorry for your kids.

  11. Re:Excellent on A Parent's Guide To Linux Web Filtering · · Score: 1

    I hope that's a joke.

  12. Metisse on Metisse - New Looking Glass Alternative · · Score: 1

    The screenshots are beautiful. Anyone know what kind of graphics card you'd need?

  13. Re:Has anyone installed it yet?? on Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I've got 9.0. Do you think there is enough of a difference to merit updating?
