  1. How ironic. on Ideas For Your Next Tech Startup · · Score: 3, Funny

    The last time we were talking about Tech Startups, people were complaining about Google picking up all the most potential ones. Then what do I see when I post? A Google ad. Of course there was a Google ad the last time we talked about this... but still..

  2. You can never be any safer.. on FCC To Require Backdoor Network Access for Feds · · Score: 1

    I believe that our Government wants to pullout of the courts, and let them decide on everything at the time it happens. The measures they will have to goto includes being able to get to places they shouldn't be at in the first place.

    For instance, you goto a crime scene.. the fastest way in is the dirtiest and hardest way in. They would have to work to get inside the house without furtheringly destroy evidence/tamper it.

    So what do they have to do? Put a hole in the cieling, with a deadlock and a vault. They can drop from the sky and get in, without authority, and without any hassle of the people involved from saying "no". This is really much of a redudant annoyance, than a problem itself. Sure people could infiltrate, but at what cost? It would be just as hard to go from the top, as it would from the front door.

    For those who say "invasion of privacy", that's what FTP and system logs are for my friends.

  3. Wow.. step ahead? on Yahoo! Launches Audio Search Beta · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ok, Google and Yahoo! both have Video search.. but does Google have Audio search engine capabilities?
    First innovation for Yahoo! since.. a long time ago.. or Google's imitation?

  4. Re:Most of them.. on 100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland · · Score: 0

    Well duh. I don't live in Finland, I just see the people of Finland and what some of the people do specifically online.

  5. Most of them.. on 100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    From my "observations," pirateers usually come from Europe and a handful come from Finland. What security measures will allow these citizens from not using it for illegal matters?

  6. For everyone that doesn't RTFA on LA City Votes For Municipal Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    They're talking about Lafayette, Lousiana.. not Los Angeles, California. If it was in CA, many many pirateers would have many many joygasms and lead to partial city wide heartattack increasment of 150%, depending on the population of course.

  7. Waiting.. on Microsoft Accepts Most EU Demands, But Not Over Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    Waiting for Microsoft themselves, to put out a form of GPL they can use, to their advantage of course.

  8. Re:What?! on Tech Oscars Awarded · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's like blowing your load to a flying rocket!

  9. Re:Corrections on The AT&T Archives Post-SBC Merger? · · Score: 1

    You're mistaken, AT&aT is a baby Ay of the giant AT&T company. AT&aT is being sold.

  10. Re:First... on Smart People Choke Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    Have we forgotten a certain person from Jeporady?

  11. nice to see.. on Instead of Revamping Hubble, Replace It · · Score: 1, Insightful

    1B isnt anything compared to the overall amount on repairing and operating the old hubble. Note that the advanced technologies today, are hundreds of times faster and more efficent. 1Billion over 5 years

  12. It's needed.. on Taking My Freedom With Me to China? · · Score: 0

    China wants a part of the tech. world. They've gained the respect of being the largest bootleg and spammers in the world, and the censorship will give them some credit to a bright tech china. Or just a Japanese wannabes. All considered, it's needed.

  13. Re:microsoft on The Race Is On For .net · · Score: 0

    Oddly enough, .net the domain isn't by Microsoft, it's owned by ICANN. .NET the language and code is by Micrsoft. This was supposed to confuse people more... or should've..

  14. odd.. on Build Your Own Soccer-Playing Robot · · Score: 0

    If they built one running linux, the others must run what? Windows or Mac? Or just none at all? I know that Windows can be embedded.

  15. Is CVS the right choice? on Pharmacare, Harvard Try To Shut Down Security Hole · · Score: 0

    I live in a urban port town, on one street intersection, there are 4 pharmacies on each corner. It's ridicoulus to have all 4, especially when they're all really nice, but all have flaws. CVS isn't the best, close to last in my choices, because it doesn't have online pharmacy pick-ups. Walgreens is 1st, because of it's friendly service and online functionality.

  16. Oh my gentle Jesus. on The Forgotten Huygens Experiment · · Score: 0

    Even so, he said the overall space mission was a huge success, and the Europeans in particular were thrilled with the success of their Huygens probe. Let's let the real scientists do the scoring ;)

  17. Re:Slashvertising? on HP's New iPAQ hx2755 Reviewed · · Score: 0

    He doesn't seem to understand the principle of "Slashdotting."

  18. well... on USPTO Released List of Top 10 Patent Receivers · · Score: 0

    IBM isnt a new company. They've been around for a very long time. They've been granted hundreds of thousands of patents.

  19. Hope they're all right.. on Quake and Tsunami Devastate South Asia · · Score: 1

    Wow this is pretty major. Unpredictable or overlooked? At any rate I ghope they're ok.

  20. not that impressive... on Five Custom Gadgets You Can't Buy · · Score: 0

    It's just basic mods made by people just like you and me. Still cool to see it on forbes.

  21. Re:Hmm interesting on Mars Volcanoes May Still Erupt · · Score: 0

    that's little over Bush's last term.

  22. wont be long.. on Boeing Eyes In-Flight Live TV on Your Laptop · · Score: 0

  23. Uh? on PARC Signs On A Partner: Fujitsu · · Score: 0

    Printable Software and Cuttable Hardware?

  24. Educational? on NYC's Educational Dark Fiber Network · · Score: -1

    You'd think people would have grabbed for more backbone before.

  25. New bugs? on A .Net CPU · · Score: 0

    They'll patch it before it gets out. "Shipped with new errors from Microsoft!"
