  1. oh goody... on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 1

    'Humans may be able to mutate into supermen in the near future.'" Well, that makes it all worth it then. Hundreds upon hundreds of bionic "supermen" is just what this world needs...

  2. Re:$100 per minute on World's Fastest Inkjet Printer? · · Score: 1

    errr...no, The reason comsumers buy inkjets are b/c they actually make good prints. Ever try printing anything except word documents with a laser printer? Coloraccuracy is prolly a cool 50% (give or take) -- Never mind the image quality.

    I agree, I thought this was "news for nerds"... Anyone who wasn't aware of the of the III "flop" can hardly claim themselves to be a nerd. How is this news?

  6. Re:So What! Nothing has really changed. on Yahoo Introduces Competitor for iTunes · · Score: 1

    itunes is NOT WMA. I do agree that itunes should offer lossless audio formats such as FLAC but the very premise of this codec would make this impossible. FLAC stands for FREE lossless audio codec -- the key word eing free. It's an open source codec really.

    HOw can you say that the Apple dock "Doesn't work"? That's just might be the worst *attempted* flame towards Apple computers. You compare it to the freaking task bar in windows...? come on have you used OSX for even one day? I'm still confused - what about the docks does NOT work?

    both...

  10. Re:This is great news! on Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill · · Score: 1

    If your a close minded bigot... It's a smart PR move but beyond that it's bogus. If George W. (and other politicians) can take that stand and triumph whose to convince others it won't work for them. These frivouls dwellings on "gay rights" are sad... Above all I'm dissapointed in my fellow Americans - and I'm straight!

  15. ditch the linux... on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    As linux has it's place, I must ask why you are using it rather then OS X. I'm a commercial Photographer by trade(and choice;)) OSX supports great slide scanners a cheap prices--but slides are out dated too...

    TV isn't what it used to be... but what is.(overcensorship in the county drive me crazy. Color me liberal but there is alot of "different" "stuff" out there. I can choose want i want/can see on the tube. Sure, networks should make a valid attempt at appropriate material where in when it's aired. Parental censorship is a whole other topic--that's the parents desecration.

    Ahh come on. Of course the CHRISTIAN science monitor is going to print such results... They've been out to get computers since first days porn was uploaded to the WWW ;P

  19. I find it interesting... on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No really, I do. Maybe i just increased my nerd factor exponentially, but there is something to be said for a OS that's boot from a machine with 64mb of ram. OSX whole claim to fame is it's stability.

  20. does it work for suzy? on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    If only i could get one of these for my girlfriend ;)

  21. speeeeed... on InfiniBand Drivers Released for Xserve G5 Clusters · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is cool. The Xserve is a great server. We got one at work and we used it as a mirror for a while before switchover. This thing never crashes. according to one of the articles these drivers will optimize the power of these beasts...

  22. Re:HOW Much?! on Sun and Kodak Settle Out of Court · · Score: 1

    4-5 MP isn't the current top of the line by any means... i'd veture to say that it is pretty standard. My Personal SLR is a 8 mega PX and will capture 80-90 MB images. The 'proffesional" cameras we use" can capture upwards of 300... we can shoo an image that would paint the side of a large building (and looke nice). I'm not pushing film out of the scope here at all. I love film - its softer raiant images are truley wonderfull. I still shoot with my old fully manual cannon slr all the time.

  23. Re:HOW Much?! on Sun and Kodak Settle Out of Court · · Score: 5, Informative

    Are we speaking in terms of consumer products? I'm a commercial Photographer and i can gareentee that the Sinare 4x5 digital cameras we have coupled with the Sinar capture software are crisper and more true to the original product than are chromes. There are lots of Skeptics out there i know. We've done tests and test. We resorted to capturing an image (identical) with both Film and digital and printing high quality Kodak Approval Prints for both medias. We let the Clients decide. we haven't shot film in almost a year.

    Is apple next? huh huh! might as well be, everyone hits apple up. And yes apple does have it's own Java implementations and it's used quite extensively in some apps.

  25. Re:HOW Much?! on Sun and Kodak Settle Out of Court · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you hit it on the head... Kodak in the crapper? YUP! Kodak and companies alike in the Photo/Film business are trying to grap a piece of the computer (especially software) market in anyway possible. Why? who needs film anymore? Consumer? commercial? nope.
