  1. w/ norton's utils on Microsoft To Sell Win XP Starter Edition In Russia · · Score: 0

    I liked how MS ripped norton's desktop so they could innovate it into win95.

  2. Social junkies? on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: 0

    What about IRL junkies, or are they the ones behind all this 'research'?

  3. missed a comma on Experiment Cuts Off Online Junkies from Internet · · Score: -1

    ...adrenaline, sports, whatever...

  4. Re:Your vote is Dubya's Vote? on Ask Green Party Presidential Candidate David Cobb · · Score: 0

    You have to vote 3rd party to establish voter presence. If it ever became a realistic possibility or threat to a 2 party system then 'serious' politicians would be a lot more interested than they are now. Period.

  5. Re:Default settings produce incorrect results on Google Local Launched In Canada · · Score: 0

    Just search a little further north so your town is still in the target.

  6. green air conditioning on Green Housing Takes Root in Oregon · · Score: 0

    What about a huge velocity stack with a fan at the bottom. Turn the fan on and get cold structured air and frost on the narrow end - like a VW bug carburetor?

  7. green heat on Green Housing Takes Root in Oregon · · Score: 0

    Heat with a greenhouse, right? Why not.

  8. i agree on File and Printer Sharing Insecure in XP SP2 · · Score: 0

    "news for nerds" not news for kids or grannies. Even mentioning MS is counter productive. Enough! No more damned articles about XP or MS, etc.

  9. worse than trees? on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 0

    Why would a wind turbine alter the weather or slow the earth down, etc. any more than a big oak tree/ forest of them. Just cut down a forest and put the windmills there so that the weather won't notice.

  10. insanity on Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day · · Score: 0

    You can't trust the law to favor your fair use when our society measures success by debt. Nobody can afford to miss a day of work to fight for their rights.

  11. I've been wondering about this on New Overtime Rules Have Short Shelf Life · · Score: 0

    WHY!!?? not start overtime at 20-30 hours a week and let ppl have their lives back and create more jobs. Money is only worth what most ppl have - ppl aren't going to starve over something like that.

  12. Re:questions have been raised on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 0

    If I needed to know all that, it would have been on the Simpsons already.

  13. apathy on Did You VoteOrNot.org? · · Score: 0

    I see all the signs on the corners and figure we might as well be voting for coke or pepsi - nobody should vote for someone based on the prevelance of their billboards or according to whois winning. No candidate should seek the vote of someone that doesn't know them and if they're full of shit. But that's never gonna happen.

  14. 3rd party for the hell of it on Did You VoteOrNot.org? · · Score: 0

    throw away your vot just to attract flies to the 3rd party...

  15. fools on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 0

    Nobody /buys/ a palmtop, they're just toys. Only jobless nerds do that - it's just candy for ppl that can't make their own... Just take what you deserve and be happy with it. -the borg.

  16. Re:Faster than Light on Open-Destination Quantum Teleportation · · Score: 0

    So, how is it different from /dev/null?

  17. I like MS mice. on Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse · · Score: 0

    Their mice have always been pretty good. Now their OS...

    How is this news?

  19. Re:*raises hand* on The Linux Incompatibility List · · Score: 0

    thus resulting in potential crashses, instabilities, etc. As I understand it, you can turn this off by disabling kernel module versioning, but the module itself may refuse to load if it detects the wrong kernel version. Fortunately, there's a really easy way around this that nVidia and other folks use. nVidia distributes their drivers as a binary driver, along with some source which acts as a thin layer between the binary code and the kernel itself. This layer is then compiled for the specific kernel version, while the binary driver portion remains the same. This is, incidentally, how I install the driver (since they have no modules for my specific kernel version).
    Is the thin layer just tricking the driver into working, but opening you up to 'crashes, instabilities' the further away from the base kernelversion the binaries were intended for becomes. Or, will the drivers remain stable from 2.4.0 - 2.4.27 ?

  20. Re:Hmmm... on Dozens Charged in Spam Crackdown · · Score: 0

    Well no, but in the future spam won't dillute the effectiveness of DMA accredited email advertising. The government will finally get their cut by liscensing spammers.

  21. Re:I still don't get it. on Alternatives To The INDUCE Act · · Score: 0

    'blank media' - Does that mean everybody doesn't pay the tax (all media is blank at some stage). Can you become liscensed tax exempted if you can prove you are a content 'creator'...

  22. concrete floats too on A Solution for Coral Reefs in Peril · · Score: 0

    In case it's not obvious (duh). Well, at least concrete barges do.

    I wanted to talk about it while it was still cool.Don't you ppl read newscientist, physicsweb, etc. ?

  24. Re:I can only drink out of crystal glasses on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 1

    I'll find out soon enough if my tv dinner is frozen in the middle without needing real silver. :) I can't find the article anymore, but once on newscientist they were saying that you get better omlets if you whip them up in a copper bowl; it donates electrons to the egg matrix or something (you know how scientists can be...) - it was supposed to truly make fluffier omlets.

  25. I can only drink out of crystal glasses on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 2, Funny
