  1. Binary computers use gears! on A Clock That Runs for 10,000 Years · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Is the author trying to pull one over on us?
    Everything about this clock is deeply unusual. For example, while nearly every mechanical clock made in the last millennium consists of a series of propelled gears, this one uses a stack of mechanical binary computers capable of singling out one moment in 3.65 million days
    Binary computers use gears...
  2. Re:Quality on ABC Affiliates Grapple With TV-Show Downloads · · Score: 1

    It's not DVD, but I was surprised at the quality when the 320x240 video was enlarged to fill a 1024x768 screen. It beats the pants off of what most people see on an average television. Why not spend $2 to find out?

  3. Keep those links to the left on Search Engines Break AU Online Gambling Ban? · · Score: 1

    Australia to Google: "Keep those links to gambling sites on the left side of the page where they're legal. Put the same links in a box on the right side of the page and you're asking for trouble."

  4. Censorship Police on Another View of the FCC and Spectrum Scarcity · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the past, scarcity may have been a money maker for the FCC. These days I think they're in the censorship business.

  5. Re:I'm a stupid fucking dumbass, should've bought! on Apple Announces 2 for 1 Stock Split · · Score: 1

    I think the stock will jump big time when we see the first episode of The Simpsons or perhaps a Pixar movie available on iTunes. It could be a great thing for people with Mac Mini's connected to their television. They've already got music videos on demand for free. It beats Netflix or Tivo. With Netflix I have to wait a few days before my DVD arrives in the mai where as with iTunes I'd wait about 30 minutes for my 230MB episode of Sex and the City. With Tivo I'd have to wait until Sex and the City was broadcast. (Hopefully I was paying my monthly Tivo bill so it would be easy to program the recorder.)

  6. Re:Oh come now... on Napster To Campaign Aggressively Against iPod · · Score: 1

    I thought Apple's gross per song was about 35 cents. Not sure what their "net" comes to...
