    joke 4323: That finally declares the name RED Hat!

  3. 30 minutes? on The Xbox 360 Unveiled · · Score: 4, Funny

    Jeez, a 30 minutes show, and no information at all, (except its uglyness and stupid name...)
    ... oh wait... its MTV what else could you expect?

  4. Vacuum cleaner on Microsoft Scales Down Palladium · · Score: 1

    It will suck... until they make a 'Longhorn vacuum cleaner'.

  5. April 1st on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 0

    This is a late April 1st joke? No? A very early one? No? ....

  6. Competition on Microsoft's 'IsNot' Patent Continued... · · Score: 1

    I think that within M$ they're having some sort of internal competition on which employee can get the dumbest patent imaginable...

  8. Penetration Tester on Free Open-Source vs. Commercial Security Tools? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Penetration Tester?? Not only looking for the obvious (security) holes, but also the tricky ones? Those you don't normally see? Damn where do you learn that

  9. New direction on Next Generation Xbox To Be Called Xbox 360? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ah! So Microsoft is going a whole new direction with the XBox by turning 360 degrees!

  10. incredible on Microsoft Licenses Analog Anti-rip Technology · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i've said it a million times...
    if you can hear music, you can record it, and copy and distribute, etc. DRM and copy protection can never work.

  11. Softaware = art on Is Computer-Created Art, Art? · · Score: 1

    Surpassing the question what art is, I'd say the concept of the software is art, not the output it produces.

  12. Re:Benefits on Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor · · Score: 0

    Bad example. Columbus simply got lost and found new land. Has anbybody ever got lost in space?

  13. Re:Benefits on Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor · · Score: 1

    I'm not joking, the question is: Does very-expensive-space-research ever lead to solutions for real problems? Or are there better invesment/solutions ratios possible by investing in cheaper science?

  14. Re:Benefits on Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor · · Score: 1

    My point is: can't you better invest this money in solving concrete problems, instead of advancing science in general?
    E.g. preventing global warming by 'friendly' energy sources.

  15. Benefits on Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What I've never understood: what are the benefits of space exploration? Sure it gives information about space, but what's the use?
    Is there anything they discovered that improved the qauality of life, in return for the zillions of dolars?

  16. Coincidental? on Microsoft Posts Record Earnings · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In one week Gates donates 750 trizibillion dollars to the third world and M$ announces multimega profit... might there be a correlation?

  17. Why in public on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    Why do we know he donates? Right, he's working on his image! That's the only reason, he doesn't give crap about the poeple he helps... if he did he could use his power to change things fundamentally.

  18. Real question on Games Better Than Books? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "games are better for teaching than textbooks"

  22. Africa on Space Station Crew Forced to Cut Calories · · Score: 1

    Please do not forget that not only in the space ship, but also in some regions of Africa, people are starving from hunger!
    The costs for bringing those few in space some food could save millions of lives in Africa.
