  2. Re:pufft on Electronic Arts Facing Possible Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    he wanted to cut overtime pay for nearly everyone making over 30k a year... Now lets think which one will be more over time pay a 100k engineer. Or a 20k intern. My bets are on the engineer.

  3. pufft on Electronic Arts Facing Possible Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Yes, and to think bush wanted to CUT overtime pay.

  4. gee on Segway vs. Roomba · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wish I had this much time on my hands :-). These people are crazy nut jobs! I love it!

  5. Excellent on How Computers Work... in 1971 · · Score: 1

    This looks like a great book, kinda like a blast from the past! I love this stuff :-)

  6. SCO on United Linux: Two Years Later · · Score: 1

    I think everyone can agree, SCO pretty much killed any chance United Linux had.

  7. Oh I bet on Microsoft Dropping Itanium Support For Clusters · · Score: 1

    Oh I bet intel loves this one, but hey if you were microsoft would you really care about intel? I mean lets think here though, who depends on who?

  8. Being a good company probably helps on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I probably helps that nintendo has been seen (as far as I know) as a company that has had a long long history of being a rather "good", innovative, and untainted (compared to it's counterparts). I personally like nintendo, regardless of what others say.

  9. Different? on The Continued Advance of VoIP · · Score: 1

    How is voice over IP any different than having a microphone in yahoo messanger? Except the fact that you get a phone number, and are able to access non voice over IP locations. A FCC ruling could clamp down on already free services like yahoo messanger who have been free for years! Think about it, FCC ignorance could control things like all voice communication on the internet (video game, messanger, etc).

  10. Great on Fox Starts TV Production For Cell Phones · · Score: 2, Funny

    So now fox can run up my cell phone bandwidth bill, excellent!

  11. regardless on What's Next For Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is doing "goog things" and I will continue to support their efforts, they have revolutionized browsing in my opinion.. There are features on firefox that are seen no where else in the market. I support innovation, and creative thinking ( most often in a monetary way :-) )

  12. Doubtful this will take any ground. on Microsoft To Launch Homegrown Search Engine · · Score: 3, Informative

    I say it time and time again.. Microsoft is not a company of innovation (besides user interfaces), they are a company that aquires other companies. It is doubtful that a home-grown engine will beat the likes of google.. Especially being so late in the game, not only that what good will a face lift do? Google is already one of the easiest things out there, how can Microsoft make search even easier? THAT is the 100 million dollar question!

  13. How is this possible? on Microsoft Offers to License the Internet · · Score: 1

    What claim can microsoft lay to TCP/IP?? I don't understand where they are going with this..

  14. Yey on IBM Retakes Fastest Supercomputer Title · · Score: 1

    Yey for IBM. Now I can stop hearing about the earth simulator and how great it is

  15. Spin on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 1

    I like the spin that the white house put on it. Loss of american jobs, pfft.

  16. Re:Highlight on A Review of "The Incredibles" · · Score: 1

    To bad, that sure was funny! I have seen movies base their entire story line off of a single funny thing though.

  17. Highlight on A Review of "The Incredibles" · · Score: 0, Troll

    I sure hope the highlight of the movie isn't MR. Incredible getting his belt buckled.

  18. Nightmare on FIC Condor Small Form Factor Reviewed · · Score: 1, Insightful

    These speciality pc's are technicians worst nightmare!

  19. Excellent OS on FreeBSD 5.3 Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    BSD is an excellent operating system if your trying to lock down a network, or some other coperate enviroment.. Just look at their history with security, which is pretty convincing. So I say kudos to milestone release 5.3, I know I will be trying it. ~matt

  21. Oh Man on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    This has the image of (good ideas gone bad) written all over it. What if one of the terrorists get ahold of these? They now have a new way to terrorize.. Think about it, US american solders held hostage by their own robots!

  22. I am confused... on Avi Rubin and More on Electronic Voting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why are there these cards at all? Shouldn't the electronic voting machine contact a local district with results via phone line. Make it work much more like a fax machine (transmit results to a location). If the phone line is dead then should a AUTHORIZED person only be able to remove data from the device..
