  1. Re:Great engineering on More Antennas, Faster Wireless · · Score: 1

    short and sweet, three cheers to the engineers... i guess good code on not-so-good hardware can do wonders too... like linux on a P3 machine compared to windows XP... what do you say?!

  2. Re:What's missing, is.. on The Year In Ideas · · Score: 1

    i don't think nytimes will allow google to cache their 'registration required' pages...

    please read this article: http://science.howstuffworks.com/dirty-bomb1.htm. its not the explosion that causes the problem, its the readiation that spreads afterwards...

    the best place to see this in india would be rajasthan.

  5. Re:would USA rely on French, or Estonian GPS syste on EU Presses Ahead With Galileo GPS System · · Score: 1

    exactly. ever heard of a 'dirty bomb'. anybody who possess requisite amounts of nuclear materials can make a dirty bomb. and any lunatic who wants to die can destroy the white houses bursting it 6 block away...

  6. Re:Test of time on National Library Service Plans Next-Gen Audiobooks · · Score: 1

    that should exactly be the way to do stuff. the algorithm for de-coding should be universal, so that it works for all kinds of hardware and softwares...

  7. Re:It's just funny to me... on Firefox Reaches 10 Million Downloads · · Score: 1

    sometime the /. guys can get very misjudging, i guess... everybody knows about firefox, so what's the carch???

  8. Re:No on Internet Kills LA Times National Edition · · Score: 1

    i think this is a very self-sufficient way to reach the audience and i really don't say why other papers shouldn't follow it...

  9. Re:It's a joke! on Using GPS to Track Teens · · Score: 1

    SMS - 1:11:05: Jacob is driving 110mph SMS - 1:11:18: Jacob is driving 120mph SMS - 1:11:25: Jacob is driving 140mph SMS - 1:11:29: Jacob is driving 180mph SMS - 1:11:32: Jacob is driving 220mph SMS - 1:11:33: Jacob is driving 0mph next day newspaper headlines: jacob died while driving at 220 mph and talking to his mom on a new technology cell phone... hence it is requested that drivers please do not use cell phone while driving at such high speeds.

  10. Re:Still no indication of battery life on PSP Opened up and Exposed · · Score: 1

    that's reasonable.

  11. Re:As long as there is a legitimate use... on BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache · · Score: 1

    yup, the genie is out alright. what i don't get is its particular people that are exploiting the service, the service is not directly at fault. so why not devise way to check these people and not bring down the entire service!!!

  12. how about for bikes on Formula One Racing Just a Matter of Crunching the Numbers · · Score: 1

    how about making a supercomputer for bikes... just another huge waste of money to me...

    Another nail in the coffin of M$. That's how the free market moves. Let's dump the pub tonite and hit the download site...

  16. Re:Cool! Just like form AutoComplete on Google Suggest · · Score: 1

    personally i believe its a pretty useless service unless somebody dosen't know his spellings. i mean a person searching would know what to type in, so why the suggestions part. and there is no guarantee that the suggestion would be any help to the user...

  17. similar stuff but with number plates in india on Driver's Licenses with Digital Watermarks · · Score: 1

    here in india, the government is implementing a system where the number of plates of cars will have engine's chasis number written with laser tips and invisible to the naked eye so that it becomes easy to detect stolen cars...

  18. Re:Years away on New Advances Bring Fusion Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    exactly what i have in mind. the amount of energy that we would get from fusion reactors would not only boost the economic development of a developed country but also provide cheap power to the developing and under-developed country. plus the reaction is 'almost' automatic thus requiring little or no human labour.

    however the only concern i believe is that in case of an accident there could be a terrible disaster before the reaction becomes stable. ofcourse its a remote possibility, though...

  19. Re:It screws up with my accent on Are You Talking to Your PC Yet? · · Score: 1

    first it was the nouse and now this. is everything moving from hands to nose?

  23. Re:Futility on Lycos Anti-Spam Screensaver Inspires Trojan · · Score: 1

    exactly. lycos is no way responsible for this so why play the blame-game on them...

  24. Re:They could be lower but not by much on Dell Calls For Red Hat To Lower Prices · · Score: 1

    that's what i'd like to say too. RHL is used for servers and support and power more than money should be the concern there... i guess they should think about reducing the price of mandrake...

  25. URL submission system sucks on China Launches New Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Guess what, when you submit a URL, it is sent by email and not via a mail script or something as used by other search engines... microsoft touch, no doubt... ;)
