  1. Re:Gas vs Eletric on Electric Car Faster Than A Ferrari or Porsche · · Score: 1

    Yes, but remember a lot more of that $400 stays in the US versus going to the Middle East.

  2. Mistake? on Windows Nag Windows to Counter Piracy · · Score: 4, Funny
    or, presumably, convince Microsoft they've made a mistake...

    Well, the software got out the door, so aren't we a little late on this? :)

  3. Hold on just a sec... on Code for Unbreakable Quantum Encryption · · Score: 5, Funny
    'Raw code for "unbreakable" quantum encryption has been generated...

    Let's see what DVD Jon has to say about this first...

  4. Well... on Philips Patents Technology to Force Ad Viewing · · Score: 5, Funny
    Philips' patent acknowledges that this may be 'greatly resented by viewers'

    Hard to resent something you will never buy.

  5. Hate to say it... on When an Algorithm Takes the Wheel · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ...but no matter how cool it is, it is still a Ford.

  6. Re:NOT SAFE FOR WORK on Domain Names Worth Their Weight in Gold Again · · Score: 2, Informative
    Looks like someone got all excited when they say a pr0n link...the next sentence says "With the exception of the last domain name, which is currently used for erotic video chat".

    Literacy is fun.

    ...and to think I just wasted money on a house.

  8. Re:Recommended comedy on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1
    How do you expect to tell which parts are 'scientific goodness' and not just something that sounds plausible?

    Easy. The stuff with a footnote/citation with the name of a well-respected publication.

  9. Re:Recommended comedy on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1
    See, that is where you are wrong.

    I do not read Crichton to get smarter and "learn." That is absurd.

    I read Crichton because he is entertaining and throws in just enough science and factual skeleton in his works to keep me from being insulted.

  10. Re:Recommended comedy on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1
    I will surely concede that the items you state border on the ridiculous, but by the same token, I would expect that you would be able to sift through the rubble and find the hidden nuggets of scientific goodness in there.

    Regardless of how much spin and silliness has been slathered all over it.

  11. Re:Recommended reading on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 0
    State of Fear is science fiction.

    Call it what you will, but a work that heavily based on *actual* research and laden with citations at least deserves some merit.

    Please do not confuse Mr. Crichton's writing with the liberal movie offshoots it spawns.

  12. Re:Recommended reading on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1, Troll

    State of Fear by Michael Crichton gives a nice (somewhat biased) Cliffs-Notes take on the issue as well.

  13. Re:Because Computer Can Predict with 100% Accuracy on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 1
    Ah yes, a "government report based on computer modelling". Because we all know computers never make mistakes right?

    Especially *weather* computers...

  14. Re:How could that be ? on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 0, Troll
    I mean my apartment temp. varies from 60 to 90 and sure it's uncomfortable, but so what ? And besides, the temperture on a reguler day can vary a lot more than 3 degrees!!

    It seems the detrimental effects on your spelling elude you.

  15. Wait just a second... on A Stark Warning On Climate Change · · Score: 5, Insightful
    The US refuses to cut emissions and those of India and China are rising. Come on, now. Failure to sign Kyoto does not directly imply a direct refusal to cut emissions. It just prevents direct government support of such programs.

    Also, we are lucky to be in a country where being green is good for business. I can think of some companies that are making a pretty penny off cutting emissions and helping others to do so.

  16. Sorry... on MySpace Makes it to Top 10 Internet Sites · · Score: 3, Funny

    but MySpace behaves as though it were coded by fucking retarded monkeys.

  17. Come On... on When Telecom Mergers Hit Home · · Score: 1
    Telecomm customer service and response has NEVER been good, so why call it into question in light of recent mergers?

    This was more of a rant than an article.

  18. Force? on The World's Strongest Glue · · Score: 1
    force felt by a quarter with more than three cars piled on top of it.

    Thought the force is same no matter what it is applied to, no?

    F = m*a, anyone?

  19. Re:Concentration of the pool on Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America · · Score: 1
    Yeah, in Dublin here we've got IBM, Microsoft, Google, Sun, Yahoo, Amazon, Cisco... I'm sure there are many others who I haven't even heard of. Even in those companies though, it seems that the 'sexy' IT jobs are still in America.

    Grass in always greener, eh? :)

  20. Re:You mean, IE users point and laugh on Microsoft Releases Critical IE Patch · · Score: 1
    So basically it's going to make it more difficult to see obnoxious flash ads take over websites as soon as a page is loaded. And in the rare chance you actually want to see a flash or java object, you have to click a button. Sounds like MS should toss this on the feature list.

    Gee, I wonder where they got that idea?

    Bollocks. Outsourcing didn't happen nearly as much as slashdotters like to piss and moan about.

    Bollocks? I will take that to mean you are from the UK.

    Now, contrary to the popular belief, a lot of jobs (at my company at least) are being outsourced/offshored to you.

  23. Concentration of the pool on Software Engineers Ranked Best Job in America · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I am guessing since most of these jobs have been farmed out, it has diluted the dissent in the job pool.

    I guess when that happens, the few people that still have jobs are quite grateful and enamored with them.

    If I were you, I would wait until May for the Treo 700p to be released with EV-DO. Good luck!

    As a sprint consumer, I would like to inform you that Spring Mobile Phone Corporation doesn't offer a Treo without a camera.
