  1. Re:The orders and patents... on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 1

    I skimmed the court order and TFA, but I don't see why Microsoft is listed as a defendant...

  2. But if it ran Linux... on Microsoft Research Showcase Explored · · Score: 1

    ...would you call it "Mandrake Icebox"? Sounds better than a Microsoft fridge, if you ask me.

  3. CLAIRIFICATION on NPO Mozilla China Launched · · Score: 1

    The "press release" is in ENGLISH. The "download page" is in CHINESE.

  4. Re:Title Correction on Managing Information Security Risks · · Score: 1

    "Windows can't control itself, a user must guide it."

    Don't fear the penguin! Embrace it! Love the penguin! Love the...aw, screw it.

  5. (CHIP) Unit on Louisiana Man Pleads Guilty to Creating 911 Worm · · Score: 3, Funny

    If they ever have a reality TV show based on this, I hope they won't call Eric Estrada and tell him "CHiP's" is being remade...

    CHIP unit? Never heard of it.

  6. Re:So when do we get it? on Nanotech Based Display · · Score: 2, Informative

    From ExtremeTech: "Still, Ntera claims that first production glass will be shipping at the end of the year, and intimated that a medical device manufacturer would be first out of the gate"

    Considering the eBook prototype had an "issue", those won't be too far behind...but delayed, nonetheless.

  7. Re:Incase of Slashdotting... on Kerberos: The Definitive Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or, this.

  8. Re:FP on Mitsubishi LED Projector: Small, Cheap, Durable · · Score: 1

    The one that leads you on the tour of the product!

    Take that whatever direction you want...

  9. Exactly on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Where I worked previously, they fired a good chunk of the IT department because management thought 3 people could get the job done. And so far, it's worked.

  10. Re:Wear & Tear on Strategy Shift In The Air For Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    a lot of people couldn't tell you what got better in office xp over office 2000.

    They got rid of that damn paperclip!

  11. Re:Can you say worthless? on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Back in 1998, when IBM unvailed their 18GB hard drive, I asked the same thing. Now, 120GB is standard hard disk size. So, who knows...you might actually find a use for 1TB.

  12. Don't forget microwaves... on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 4, Informative

    From the article: "Due to the simplicity of the circuit design, the prototype unit does not discriminate between other sources of 2.4GHz RF, eg. "leaky" microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc. Future production units would feature surface-mounted components to decrease the detector profile and microcontrollers that discriminate between other RF sources, as well as indicate whether the Wi-Fi nodes are open/closed/encrypted, etc."

    Yes, but they're going to fix that.

  13. Re:Lack of range on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Detector Ring Project · · Score: 1

    Aw, don't be such a stick-in-the-mud. We all know how to detect Wi-Fi networks. This just makes it fun.

  14. Another good reason... on Open Source is Not a Career Path · · Score: 1

    Anyway, there are other good reasons to do open source.

    To avoid things like this.

  15. Re:Wonderful on First Artificial Aurora May Lead to Night Sky Ads · · Score: 0

    Propaganda in Soviet Russia, you say? Hmm...well...

    In America, you watch sky-high advertisements. IN SOVIET RUSSIA, ads watch YOU!!!

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.

  17. Re:What about AMD? on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "AMD is separately working on a cheap desktop computer for emerging markets." By the looks of it, no.

  18. Re:Its sweet but does it ahve a point? on Piezo-Acoustic iPod Hack · · Score: 1

    Yes. Don't just stop with "it boots Linux." Evolve it. Make it more functional. Push it's technical limitations. If you do that, it'll be worth it AND it'll be iPod quality.

  19. Re:Break the law, face the charges. on Norwegian Student Ordered to Pay for Hyperlinks to Music · · Score: 1

    As reasonable as the RIAA who will try to sue for the maximum of $120,000 per song? I think greed comes before reason in their case...unless someone here can tell me where all that money goes: if it really goes back to the artists or to the RIAA Stockpile for lawsuits.

  20. Speaking of toasters... on ZigBee Alliance Triples in Size · · Score: 1

    Right on! This means Intellitoast will become a reality!

    ...I think those blue and red lights are actually BEHIND you...

  24. Re:These people.... on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1

    I find it fascinating that the universe has an age, yet as far as I know, there's no end to it. How's that possible? Can you appropreatly put an age on empty space? Somebody pull out a map and show me, please.

  25. Re:the 15-square puzzle on Programming Puzzles · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of what i did to my friend's Rubiks cube.
