  1. Downgrade options on Microsoft Not Ditching Vista Until At Least 2011 · · Score: 4, Funny

    'Customers who purchase a PC with Windows 7 pre-installed will be allowed to downgrade to Vista," Francis said.' That's the hardest I've laughed in a while. Thanks Richard Francis!

    Step 1: They are getting them from other kids who have a prescription. Step 2: Their parents find out and punish them for taking others' prescription medications. Step 3: Parents find out it will help their kids in school and at home. They convince the doctor to give their kid a prescription. Step 4: PROFIT! Step 5: See Step 1.

    C'mon man, have you not learned anything in life? Fuckable hooker robots are the bane of human existence. It said so on Futurama.

    If everyone had their own Marilyn Monroe-bot, everyone would just make out with it rather than go across the street to make out with Julie. It would be the end of the world!!!

  7. Walking through the supermarket line on NTT DoCoMo Debuts Credit Card Phone · · Score: 4, Funny


    I can't wait til I'm leaving a grocery store without buying anything, I walk through the checkout line to get out, and I end up buying someone else's groceries for them without knowing it.

    *thinks* wait a minute...I might be the one getting free groceries.

  9. Reason why the Swiss are #1 on Press freedom · · Score: 5, Insightful


    The reason is that they allow themselves to be completely neutral. They don't care if they have George Bush's money in a bank account or Saddam Hussein's money, it's all the same to them.

    When a country's government is neutral, it allows for the media to be more openly objective. These laws allow for equal treatment of everyone. The only problem with that is you are --I hate to sound cliche-- "helping terrorism."

  10. AT&T's idea of a network on Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger Complete · · Score: 2, Interesting


    I live in a regular brick house (NOT in the basement or with my mom). I get zero-to-no service at all here. I have to walk two blocks down the street to get 1 bar, 4 blocks for two bars, and 5 blocks for full service.

    My phone works fine everywhere else, but I swear AT&T hates me or my house. I've had them out to my house three times to check the signal and they always say it's fine. Maybe Cingular has a better network/customer service policy.

  11. Intent of NASA... on SGI & NASA Build World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1


    The major question is what does NASA hope to accomplish with this new setup?

    With all of the new private space industry, NASA has been set free to explore the further reaches of space. The question is, where will they go next?

  13. Thoughts on their strategies. on CNET's in-depth Coverage of IT security · · Score: 4, Interesting


    Day 1: Throwing money at technology. - I have no problem with this. Most of us in some way work in the IT field and this means more money and jobs.

    Day 2: Companies profiting from fear. - It's usually the stinkin' rich guys fearing for their luxury sports cars. This means they enlist security companies to safeguard themselves. More money for the little guys.

    Day 3: Global assault on anonymity. - This one I have a problem with. I'm a little worried about private companies tracking our movements and stalking us for our money. We have a choice not to deal with that company and take our money elsewhere. But when the government does it, there is no escape. It's either let them do it or flee the country (not a very easy task for some).

    Or you could take the policy of China. If they don't like something, they just block it from coming into their country.

    Of course that wouldn't help much with financial data because you can use someone's CC from anywhere.

    My roommate from freshman year worked at a local restaurant and was arrested by the FBI for stealing credits card numbers and using them to buy stuff online. I guess they would call that 'warwaiting.' I don't see them doing anything about the increasing threat of 'warwaiting.'

    You don't need that sheisty program just to predict Quake IV.

    Quake I : 1996/06/22
    Quake II : 1997/12/02
    Quake III: 1999/12/21

    That's a year and a half between 1 and 2. Two years between 2 and 3. So if my math holds out, it will be two and a half years before Quake IV is released.

    That should hold you over for a while.
