  2. Re:Price fixing should be allowed, IMO on Major Electronics Vendors Accused of Price Fixing · · Score: 0

    I see your point, but I think LCD has been used for Liquid Crystal Display by so many now that it's LCD for short. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_display for example.

    And who says how many segments there are - let's say for LCD displays or cars?
    Price fixing is stupid.

    So if I want less quality because I cannot afford the quality - I'm SOL?
    And if the price is fixed, how do I innovate? Or rather, why should I?

  7. Re:As an Outlook/Exchange fanboy.. on Campaign to Open Source IBM's Notes/Domino · · Score: 0

    Having too many meetings has nothing to do with technology.
    As parent said, it's more efficient to send all the participants the same email who then only have to click 1 button - and if they do want to say anything besides accept/decline, they still can! That way you get a nice list where you can see all the answers, versus 20 mails where you have to read first if it's a yes or a no.
    And: It's not a requirement that you actually respond, in that respect there is no difference to regular email of course.
    I'm not sure why I'm writing this, it's so obvious, I think you're trolling.

    Something like this could the trick, I think. Can be remote controlled, what about a company that installs and maintains those guns and also takes care of the firing? :)

  14. 'statistic' and static weather forecasts on Statistical Accuracy of Internet Weather Forecasts · · Score: 0

    Ah I loved it: The first time I travelled to the US I rented a motor home and
    drove through the grand canyon / national parks around it. And everywhere were
    signs that told you that the motor home park / camping was already overfilled
    with tourists at 9pm this morning, but once I risked it, I drove the 30 miles
    from the sign to the park and found out it was empty. I asked a ranger about it
    and he told me: You know, we have these signs since 30 years, the data is
    based on a calendar that is even older...

    They just recorded 1 or 2 years in a row when the park was filled and then made
    a 'forecast'...
