  1. And by takeover... on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    they mean isolating themselves?

  2. Who cares about... on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the number of results anyways? Who makes it to page 5000 when doing a search?

  3. Ahhh... on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    They really missed the boat. Windows Nova was the obvious choice!

  4. Re:No more freon in cars on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't necessarily lay the blame solely on the unions here. The management signed off on the pay/benefits plans too, right?

  5. Re:No more freon in cars on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Post taxes, probably. Post the 10%+ of them that are unemployed, certainly. Maybe their US counterparts in the automotive field will catch up to them in the latter category in the next decade, but they're not there yet.

  6. Re:Bottom Feeder on Grizzly-sized Catfish Caught in Thailand · · Score: 1

    1. Catch medium sized catfish 2. Inject with osmium 3. ?????? 4. Profit!

  7. Because something is politically incorrect... on Study Links Genetic Diseases to Intelligence · · Score: 3, Interesting

    it must be wrong?

    According to Harvard cognitive scientist Steven Pinker, "It would be hard to overstate how politically incorrect this paper is... [though] it's certainly a thorough and well-argued paper, not one that can easily be dismissed outright."

    Am I reading this wrong, or is this implied in his statement (i.e. we might not be able to dismiss it outright, but it will eventually be disproven because it is politically incorrect and, therefore, cannot be correct).?

  8. Re:Sweatshop MMORPG on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 1

    These already exist in Lineage II. They farm currency mostly, though, instead of making characters.

  9. No, really on Secret Kazaa Documents Revealed in Court · · Score: 5, Funny

    People would prefer programs without adware? What a stunning concept. At what point did "manifesto" replace "common sense"?

  10. Re:Ken is smart on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: 1

    I would be more interested to see how he would fair if there wasn't the imposed restriction that the contestants must wait until the question has been read to ring in.

  11. Not the big issue on Revolutionary Spam Firewall Developed · · Score: 1

    It turned out that the software was even better than us, picking up spam we'd incorrectly classified as legitimate emails. Who cares if a few get through incorrectly. The interesting statistic is how it does on incorrectly labelling legitimate mail as spam.

  12. Further SEC problems on Google Slashes IPO price · · Score: 2, Informative

    The SEC has also requested further information about their Playboy interview, which will delay the IPO further.

  13. Re:Cybernectics and sports on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    You would think this would be possible in hockey already.

  14. Re:FUD on Public Markets For Predicting Google's Market Cap · · Score: 1

    Google's IPO doesn't help individual investors any more than going the traditional route via distribution through an underwriter. It helps them (Google) get more for the IPO and the bankers less.
