  1. Re:I remember when Asbestos was just good insulati on RFID Injection Required for Datacenter Access · · Score: 1

    You may change your mind when you can't get a job to feed your family.

  2. Re:Might be a good thing... on Federal Court Shuts Down Pay As You Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's logical. We can hail the businesses for fighting some evil we've known for years, as they're purpose surely is "the greater good" and not "you're stepping on my profits, otherwise I don't care."

  3. Re:How will they keep C and A separate? on $20 Cellphones Possible with TI's New Chip · · Score: 1

    It's possible to have two CPU's in one chip... with all this talk about dual core architecture.

  4. Re:A hard disk failure every hour, $200,000 per ho on Indiana Schools May Purchase 300K Linux Computers · · Score: 1

    Divided by a couple million students, wow, it's a negligible cost! Taxes pay for the crap, it's still cheaper than a bunch of dell boxes loaded with windows. Welcome to the real world, things cost money.

  5. Problems on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 1

    I can see two problems with this system. The first being if the spammers have a majority in the system and are voting all the spam files good and everything else bad. If this was the case, everyone else would be "untrustworthy" and the system would be flip flopped. A simple "absolute" would turn the system back around. The other problem would be more practical, in which the spammers vote a bunch of a good files good, and one of their bad files good. Making tons of these accounts, their trustworthiness should be alright (1 mistake is probably allowed for) and they succeed in polluting the pollution system. The ideal way to combat this is to say even one mistake makes you untrustworthy, but I'm thinking this would probably lead to a collapse of the entire system when the first user decides to vote wrong, and the system turns itself over. I'm not expert though.

  6. R/C Car Parts on Stair-climbing Robot Built From R/C Car Parts · · Score: 1

    It IS an RC car, even my $5 car can climb 4 inch stairs. That's rediculous.

  7. Re:For the lazy people... on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Link...slashdot... Now they have asshole.

  8. In related news... on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Women also say they are the smarter sex. Since when does it matter that they "say" they know the DVR better. Everyone knows guys are television experts.

  9. Bad Business on Disposable Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or does this seem like a bad business decision in the first place. First of all because geeks are going to buy your camera for parts / a cheapy one even if they don't want it. Secondly because it puts a tremendous vurnerability in your company. Most likely, you are selling these things at a loss, so what if company B decides to buy all of company A's stock, effectively leaving them out all their product as well as a some money in the hole, only to go use them for the same purpose. Maybe I'm just naive?

  10. Re:Al-Kashi, a cool mathematician on Pi: Less Random Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Obviously Al-Kashi wasn't using satellites to look for nasal hair, we are.

  11. Re:Overpriced on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 1

    eBay after everyone realizes this is a POS?

  12. Re:Different sources have different presentations on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    Another thing to note is that if you happen to change the page in Wikipedia, the definition remains. Either it's cached to prevent the google effect on Wikipedia servers, or they've done something....

  13. Re:You wouldn't need a heater... on A Different Way To Recycle Old PCs · · Score: 1

    Yes because my P2 server running of a 200 watt power supply is so much more wasteful than g4merz and their 600 watt power supplies.

  14. Dynamic on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 1

    It would be cooler if somehow the background image was dynamic depending up the angle between you and the monitor, so tilting your head to the left doesn't ruin the effect.

  15. Re:religious fundamentalists on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    Well, since we're not worried about rightousness, there's probably a torrent of all 3 out already.

  16. Re:You can fill it for free. on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    Or for the weak in conscience, rip the tracks and keep the subscription alive. Then when the company pisses you off by say, raising rates, you can drop the subscription and keep the music.

  17. Re:You can fill it for free. on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    Listen.com or Real Rhapsody. Same thing as napster (I guess you can't download so you'd have to use a stream ripper like Replay Music or the nafetS' Rippist)

  18. Re:What they're up against on Windows XP Starter Edition off to Slow Start · · Score: 1

    Around the corner and up the stairs...right in front of the kidnapper set on getting a ransom. Purrfect.

  19. Re:DVD? RW? on Puppy Linux Lets You Run From, Save To The Same CD · · Score: 1

    Then again, the cost of a HDD of mediocre size (even 40gb) is almost to the level of a stack of CD-Rs. Not to mention the cost of the CD-RW.
