  2. Who would pay for spyware on Non-Technical Users Talk Malware · · Score: 1
    "Fox said 90 percent of users want better notice of adware. Sixty percent said they would have paid for the software if they knew it came with adware."
    I would pay more for software without spyware!!!!

    Microsoft will just embed Gator into Longhorn.

  4. Not suprising since Morse Code is efficient on Morse Code on Cell Phones? · · Score: 1

    Morse is one of the first Huffman codes. The more common letters are simplier and shorter strokes. E . A .- s... Compare that to E 33 A 2 S 777 Also morse code needs only 2 keys (3 if you want to key in the pause). [walking off on a tangent] This reminds me of my friend. He went to Marines into signals. He met his future wife there. I was invited to thanksgiving dinner and they were tapping messages on their glasses to each other during conversations. One of my f

  5. Are they cheating???? on Carter Copter Breaks Mu-1 Barrier · · Score: 1

    They get extra lift from the stubby little wings on its side. If they subtract those wings from the lift equation are they really going faster than MU. They could just get up to speeed, shut down the rotor and glide.

    I saw this outside a graduation ceremony in Massachusetts. "Will Code for Food."

  10. Re:Moore's Law on Intel Seeking Moore's Law Original Publication · · Score: 1

    You can do two things to get more dies. Make the dies smaller or increase the wafer size. I don't really think that fabs are going to move from 300mm wafers for the foreseeable future. Then the next step is reducing the line width. http://www.intel.com/technology/silicon/si08041.ht m

  12. Re:Indian, Pakistani, Ukrainian, Nigerian on Offshored Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    The key to getting more karma is just to post sooner. The higher the post the more likely a moderator will see it and add a point or two. posts at the end of a thread are less likely to get seen.

  13. Re:Educate Crimaliens on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 1
    This is a bigger problem than my $2, $20, $200 will fix.

    Perhaps the states could allow aliens instate tuition if they show accedemic excellence.

    Passing the high school (MCAS in Massachusetts) exam in the top %20, performing excellently in scholastic competition, etc. . .

    This needs a legislative solution.

  14. set a limit on dead pixels on Sony Recants on Dead Pixels (Sort Of) · · Score: 1

    The last monitor I bought from newegg had a 8 dead pixel threshhold before I could return it.

  15. Educate Crimaliens on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The radio talk show hosts usually use the term crimaliens when ever talking about illegal aliens. This story puts a face on those "immigrants who are stealing my white child's spot in state college." Personally, I think that smart people should get the most help to succeed. Think about the loss that our economy/society is suffering by having this young man put up dry wall instead of engineering.

  16. Try getting a thin client Moniter on The PC Is Not Dead · · Score: 1

    I was pricing an entry level PC for my parents and the price for a good monitor almost swamped the price of a PC. The incremental cost between a thin client and a full PC are small. The real cost savings is in the software.

  17. USA is not #1 on UK Officially The Most Hacked Country · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yet another example of the rest of the world overthrowing american hegemony. We all need to do our part to get USA back on top. Install worms and Trojans.

    My hope is that when their PCs stop being able to do anything they will either: a) take their PC to a repair shop b) call their son in law to fix their PC. c) throw out their PC.

  19. What about the zombie PCs on IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The networks of zombie PCs are going to be even more lagged by IBM. Maybe this will finally get their owners to patch or firewall them.

  20. Isn't any software worth $$$ to you on Open Source Tax Products? · · Score: 1

    Open Source Software is sometimes better (firefox vs IE). Some commercial software is worth the price. I used to fill out my taxes by hand until one tax retrun where I made a $500 error and it took me months to clear the issue. The $40 is so worth it to me because of the saved time and better accuracy.

    wow 6000. Next time I see her mother I am installing firefox. Firefox makes adaware pretty worthless. Whenever I miss the satisfying feeling from cleaning out spyware I just fire up IE and surf for a few minutes.

    Over Xmas I did an spybot/virus scan/adaware on my girlfriend's mother's PC. 1300! spyware files and 15 trojans. I asked her if she ever updated her PC when the microsoft shield blinked. She said she ignored that stuff. That has to be some kind of record of spyware for a single user right?

  23. iPod vs other HDD players on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 1

    One huge reason I chose not to buy an iPods for people versus other HDD players was the iTunes software. I would rather use file manager to move mp3s. Also iPod doesn't support OGG.

    With Myth TV on a pc you can then edit/burn/email shows/clips to people. Also since the system is next to your stereo you might as well just play your mp3 collection. Plus since most people have "extra" Pcs around you can use one old PC as a Myth box for cost savings.
