  1. No open web servers on Data Miners Moving to Offshore Data Havens · · Score: 0

    I'm waiting for somebody to publish the private data (financial, medical, legal) of federal officials and their families on an open internet web server out of the Bahamas.

    RTFA, they want to make money on this. It won't be posted on any open internet web server. However, for the right price, the information might be viewable on a web server.

    ---------------

  2. I hope they're running Windoze on Senate Wants Database Dragnet · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I for one hope that they're running a good mission critical OS like Windows ME. Can you say "exploit"?

  3. Big shocker on Global Air Pollution, From Above · · Score: 1

    Now there's a shocker: areas that have nitrogen oxides producing industry have more nitrogen oxides.

  4. Amateur Revolution on Amateur Revolution? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The words "Amateur" and "Revolution" bring another large industry to mind...

  5. Conflict on 1 Terabyte Optical Storage Disks · · Score: 1

    And then there will be a lawsuit as to why the 1 Terabyte disc holds only 1000 GB instead of 1024 GB.

  6. Cannot let go on The Death of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 1

    I cannot let go of the joys of typing a: or b:. Or the joys of the floppy "grind" that lets me know my data is being written with care.

  7. Profit a motive, really? on Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004 · · Score: 1

    Although the list has a few good points, the site is essentially a statement of liberal ideas (not flamebait), this isn't bad in itself, except that the site appears to promote a neutral image. The site also contains a link to www.globalissues.com which has profound theories beyond belief and out of this world statements like "profit is a motive for genetic engineering" (flamebait?).

  8. Hardware encoding so what? on What's Up With Computer Audio? · · Score: 1

    Why the excitement over hardware Dolby Digital 5.1 "cinema quality" encoding? As far as the benchmarks show there isn't that much of a difference between the SoundStorm that is so loved by the authors and the cheapest 5.1 onboard card. Even so, the sound is far from being supreme and not that great compared to an Audigy 2 or a TerraTec Aureon.
