  1. Re:So, so on Pandora Radio from Music Genome Project · · Score: 1

    Hmm,.. you should contact Amazon and tell them about that. Perhaps in addition to a Wishlist, they should have a Giftlist (which I guess would help solve the issue).

  2. Re:So, so on Pandora Radio from Music Genome Project · · Score: 1

    Touché... I was going for that, but I think I forgot to mention the listening part.

  3. So, so on Pandora Radio from Music Genome Project · · Score: 1

    It's better than LAST.FM in that it plays under Windows 98, ME. It ticks me off that on lower end PCs I can's access the Last.FM radio. Also I think this works different to Last.FM in that it seeks similar music, and not similar tastes in music. (I think Last.FM suggests tracks like Amazon suggests products). I hope they add more \m/374l songs.

  4. So... you are saying... on Amazon Goes Wiki · · Score: 1

    ... "the problem is choice"?

  5. Re:Rename it please on Functional Paper V8 Engine · · Score: 1

    Yeah,... quite a misleading title. I watched one of the videos and laughed out loud. Its a working model, which is just to be used as a teaching aid. It wont provide the driving force of your vehicles.

    In other words: "Move along people, there's nothing to see here."

  6. Re:PDF the format for magazines now? on New Free Open Source Enterprise Magazine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Great tip,... I'd like to try it out,... to bad my laptop's HD drive died =(.

  7. Re:Just a minute... on Prepping For The 360 · · Score: 1

    Its funny, because the most popular names one or two years ago for the Xbox's succesor were something like 'NeXtBox', or 'Xbox Next'... or plainly 'Xbox 2'.

  8. Re:Obviously... on Google's Secret Plans For All That Dark Fiber? · · Score: 1

    lol. the moderating trolls are on fire.

    btw, in a somewhat ironic sense,... the word on the 'anti-script' image is tolerant. Some mods might not be tolerant of funny comments. =D

  9. Re:Obviously... on Google's Secret Plans For All That Dark Fiber? · · Score: 5, Funny

    With dark energy... duh!

  10. Re:Like Moop? on Harnessing the Power of P2P, Looking Back · · Score: 1

    I know,... I was making a reference to South Park... (your first reaction should've been "Who the heck is Moop?").

    But I agree,... the real musicians seldom get enough attention. Then again, a great example of a talented contemporary composer/musician can be found here.

  11. Like Moop? on Harnessing the Power of P2P, Looking Back · · Score: 1

    Why don't all the artists gather and refuse to play?

  12. What did the scene itself depict? on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see if my version of the scene doesn't end up in death.

  13. Re:we get it we get it on Getting All 1,700 Parts of the Xbox 360 to Market · · Score: 1

    Yeah,... although I don't know if I should buy mine this Xmas,... my little sister is hoping that I 'ask Santa' for it, so that she can ask for other presents... like an iPod.

  14. Remember Freenet? on Search Engine Results Relatively Fair · · Score: 1

    If anybody has used Freenet, then perhaps they've already encountered some interesting bookmarked pages. Then again, if I'm not mistaken, most of the content there is in Freenet, is most likely some sord of eye-twitching pr0n.


    Then again, this quote from their FAQ is interesting:

    Is Freenet searchable?
    No search mechanism has yet been implemented. One of the design goals was to make it impossible to locate the exact place where any piece of information is stored. Even a server operator cannot determine what is stored at his own node. This naturally makes searching very difficult. Information is currently retrieved by "keys" which should be guessable, or communicated by some other means.
  15. Akebono? on Search Engine Results Relatively Fair · · Score: 1

    After surfing the web,... I can now safely say:

    The name of a Hawaiian sumo wrestler after which the server that first hosted Yahoo! was named after.

  16. Cue the.... on Scientists Produce Fearless Mice · · Score: 1
  17. 1-2-3-4-5 on Google Corrects Gmail Security Flaw · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's amazing. I got the same combination on my luggage.

  18. Re:impossible on Google Corrects Gmail Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    Google won't do eeeeevil... then again, the hackers might.

  19. Better than POP? on Google Corrects Gmail Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    I really like using Gmail, and the 'conversation' system really suits me well. Glad that they fixed the flaw before anything 'bad' happened.

    But, is there an alternative to Gmail? What does the /. community use instead?

  20. I agree... on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been to a handful of corporations that have radically switched from a 'Covetous' image to a more 'environmental-and-neighborhood-friendly' image. Refineries like Valero (Houston, TX) are among those.

  21. It's all in 'The Good Recipe Book' on Water Vapor Causing Climate Warming · · Score: 1

    It clearly says this is all a sign of His 'Second Boiling'.

  22. The Revver of Audio? on A Tool to Tally Podcast Listeners · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be cool if podcast hosting were provided for free, with automatic ad placement at the end, like in Revver? Plus, making money would really be nice.

  23. Cue the... on Army Develops New Chewing Gum · · Score: 2, Funny

    catchy advertisements?

    "Enroll, and Blow"

  24. Minority Report,... on the way? on Google Offers Free WiFi for Mountain View, CA · · Score: 1

    "Hi John Anderson, it looks like you could do with a Guinness!"

  25. Re:The most loaded rhetorical question ever? on French Riots Lead to Crackdown on Blogs · · Score: 1

    Isn't that because American culture is excessively classifying everyone? African-Americans,... Latin-Americans,... etc.
