  1. The Saint on Z Machine Advances Fusion Race · · Score: 0

    Where's Simon Templar when we need him?

  2. Wrong link on Google Releases MySQL Enhancements · · Score: 0

    Was expecting a link to a google hosted webpage, in the hope of seeing a slashdoted google page in vain.

  3. Re:How long to get there? on Earthlike Planet Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 0

    Not to mention being transformed into a rasberry jam by the improbability-drive!

  4. Phoning home on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't an OS that phones home back to a server in the USA be illegal anyway?

  5. Here's an older review on Linux Based Nokia N800 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 0

    From Linux Coder guru.

  6. Maclaren on Intel Set To Demo PRAM · · Score: 0

    Will give Maclaren a run for their money.

  7. Carbon Lifeforms on Water Found in Exoplanet's Atmosphere · · Score: 0
    All that is asuming that life can only exist as carbon based organism, maybe on such a hot planet that life can only live as a silicon form other type of living structure.

    Just because every living creature on earth is carbon based, you shouldn't come to the conclusion that every living being in the universe is.

  8. Real world on 1080p, Human Vision, and Reality · · Score: 0
    Where's the real world image, for comparison.

    It's pretty much a lame article without 480, 720, 1080, and a real life image for comparison purposes.

  9. Re:"Unusual Gold Transfers"? on Blizzard Seeks to Block User Rights, Privacy · · Score: 0
    Maybe a postage limit could apply, so you would have to open the trade screen to give above say 10 gold.

    Usually if your friend joins, you would meet up anyway so it wouldnt be much of a be deal.

    If i was quiting the game there would be no way i would give all my gold to anyone below level 30. Theres too much risk of them not liking the game and quiting and them not passing it on.

  10. Homework on Chinese Govt Limits Kids to 3hrs of Online Gaming · · Score: 0
    So kids in China will do their homework, that's good for increasing the IQ of an already highly developed country technology-wise.

    Wait about 10 years and see how different the IQs of china and the USA match up.

  11. Gold farming on Blizzard Seeks to Block User Rights, Privacy · · Score: 0

    They should also monitor any unusual gold transfers thru the postal system in which players have never met.

    For example I could send gold to another Guild member, an IRL friend (which i might have to prove i am), or someone ive been in a dungeon with. or any alt character.
    Those would be ok, but any "random" movements should be questioned.

    Or what about havin a virtual customs office when those kind of transactions occur, and have the customs office in level 50+ zones.
    Obviously if you are receiving over 50 gold you should have the appropriate level to use that much gold anyway.

  12. Social Service on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 0

    Will that mean that he will be able to claim incapacity benefit from the government.

    That chimp is clearly disabled for a human, he cannot speak and sit up straight.

  13. Baby Xbox on Microsoft set to Announce Zune 360 and 180 · · Score: 0

    I was thinking they should make a portable xbox and call it an Xbox 270 (as in 270 days = 9 months = baby)

  14. Romans on ICANN Rejects .XXX Top Level Domain, Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    As soon as this is finally accepted im buying the domain MM.XXX with the hope of cashing in, in 2030.

  15. April Fools on Astronaut to Run the Boston Marathon From Space · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It's in two days, remember.

  16. Military use on MIT Shows How to Shut Down Brain With Light · · Score: 0

    Think of what could happen if that kind of technology is use to make a weapon!

  17. Themes on Linux Preinstalled Dell Available Soon · · Score: 0

    If they want some kind of advertising payoff they could make "advert" themes for Gnome/kde/Emerald, and if they still want the junkware. They could run it on Wine, or even modify the source code for apps to generate some kind of ad revenue. One of the major gripes would be antivirus vendors who prebundle their software, as they wouldn't have a use to be on Linux. As the clueless windows use will just pay up for a yearly subscription when he comes across the first virus intercepted by the virus scanner.

  18. Here's a speedup script in VBA on Vista Slow To Copy, Delete Files · · Score: 0

    Foreach file in filelist

  19. Buses on IBM Debuts Optical Transceiver Chipset · · Score: 0

    For throughput I wonder it that kind of speed could rival the traditional copper busses on motherboards.

  20. Gui on Linux Makes For Greener Computing · · Score: 0

    And don't forget that if you have a server environment, you don't need any GUI in place.
    Maybe just SSH access.

  21. Publisher on Borders Closes the Books on Amazon · · Score: 0

    I wonder how hard it would be for Amazon to enter publishing business, they could easily buy out a company such as lulu and brand their own Amazon books.

  22. Crying on Mobile Carriers Cry "Less Operating Systems" · · Score: 0

    They are crying because they have to Port crippleware, and have Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile and now iPhone developers to remove all the features that could be used to bypass the extortionate user services that they offer.

  23. Here's some examples. on SEC Halts Trading on Spam Driven Stocks · · Score: 0
  24. Why would you refuse? on Microsoft WGA Phones Home Even When Told No · · Score: 0

    Obviously if you refuse a "Genuine Advantage" you must be up to no good.
