  2. Re:I am going to be rich! on EU Approves Data Retention · · Score: 1

    Heh, I guess buying stocks in storage related companies would be a good idea now :)

    Yeah! Finally there's a need for storage space! Hopefully this will get more people to start storing stuff and this straggling industry can finally start to grow.

  3. Re:Absolutely Correct on Apple Holding Back the Music Business? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I use my own CD collection - NOT illegal downloads

    The article mentions this too....how does that hold back the music industry? They're still making money (and probably more per song than through Apple) on people buying CD's.

    How embarassing.

    How much is a micro-amount? And are the additional features worth it?

    And a related problem is these search engines will not remove the listings even if several users complain, because they're getting paid enough not to care about pissing off a few people. Or they will remove the listing for a few weeks to quiet people, and then it's back up again.

    Actually, looking at the code it's an unclosed tag at the end of the review.

    Jolt doesn't beat the caffeine in most types of coffee. The sugar, on the other hand, is a different story :)

  12. Re:Forget coffee! on Caffeine Prevents Liver Disease · · Score: 1

    You might have to drink a lot more though, depending on how much caffeine they recommend. According to this, green tea only has about 15mg of caffeine versus 65 in the least potent coffee. If the study is as decribed, my regular Coke intake (34mg per can) will benefit me similarly :)

    I picture something more like Whack-a-Mole. There's a lot of (security) holes and moles (viruses) pop up in them, but OneCare is like a giant hammer that keeps missing (and maybe making more holes :)

    The real irony is I actually read through it first, but thought it would be a funny comment. Apparently, the sarcasm/humor was lost on some people. Then again, that seems to happen a lot around here :)

    I wasn't being serious...though some of the replies I got seem to indicate that wasn't obvious! The detail was interesting. However, that is a really good summary.

  23. Lose members on SETI@home Becomes Part of BOINC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder how many members they'll lose as a result of the switch. Is there an easy transition from one to the other (i.e. in the form of an upgrade/update), or are they making previous SETI users go and download a new program/screensaver?

    Ah, that's right. Well, it still could've met some aliens for three hours.

  25. Contact? on Hayabusa Probe Lands on Asteroid After All · · Score: 1, Funny

    On Sunday, the probe dropped a small object as a touchdown target from 130 feet above the asteroid and then descended to 56 feet, according to JAXA.

    At that point, ground control lost contact with the probe for about three hours, JAXA officials said.



    Sounds like Contact . Maybe the probe met some aliens.
