  1. Any real purpose?! on SanDisk Spins SD/USB Flash Combo · · Score: 1

    It looks great to have a combo car in the horizon but the question that pops in my mind is whether it is really worth it. For one, the cost of an USB to SD cable is almost next to nothing. So if this combo card is real cheap or atleast the same cost of the cards avialable now, then its no problem. However, if it is not, then I wonder who would buy it!

  2. CMS on Open Source Alternatives to Dreamweaver Templating · · Score: 1

    Since we are talking about a Linux box here, one can install PHP, Apache and MySQL (all FOSS) on their box, download a suitable CMS script like PHP Nuke, Post Nuke, Mambo (all FOSS), etc and maintain a whole website with unlimited number of pages with it. Besides as far as I understand, news and high volume sites don't really 'hand-code' their HTML (WYSIWYG or not), they use similar scripts. So its really an irrelevant article.

  3. Re:This involving mega bucks or something because. on 2005 FIRST Robotics Competition Announced · · Score: 1

    Isn't building better robots another reason too?!

  4. Re:Wow, is this for real on MS AntiSpyware vs Ad-Aware vs. SpyBot · · Score: 1

    It considers any non-microsoft software as spyware... typical M$ stuff.

  5. Darwin's Law on Tuning The Kernel With A Genetic Algorithm · · Score: 1

    Looks more like Darwin's law to me. The bottom performace children are eliminated, etc etc. Nice work but the efficiency is far too less.

  6. Way to go on Cybernetic Prosthetics for Amputees · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Way to go, this is going to help those brave soldiers a lot.

  7. What more do you expect on Iran Cracks Down on Internet Sites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In a country where speaking against crime is considered taboo and females are kept in veils, exercising your right to speak and communicate is a 'crime' in itself. As far as I understand, these 'islamists' who control the Government wants to check the spread of 'westernisation' in their country. This is not restricted to Iran only. Even in countries like Pakistan, government exercises strict control on communication media.

  8. Re:A unique and amazing ecoregion on Countries Plan Land Rush in Warming Arctic · · Score: 1

    Its not only Sea levels, even river levels in China and some north-eastern countries are rising. Scientists predict that this will cause a massive flow of water and then drought in many regions causing crops to fail. According to geologists, the Earth is warming at an exponential rate (as compared to the rate say a hundred years ago) and this might lead to a major disaster.

  9. Re:What?!?! on Toyota to Employ Advanced Robots · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its the Jetsons age, dued.

  10. Re:Hmmmm... on WikiPedia Founder Wales Speaks About Wikinews · · Score: 1

    Not apparently. /. peer reviews every bit of news that its reader submit. Wikinews, on the other hand, will only peer review news on its front page.

  11. Do we really need it?! on Where's My 10 Ghz PC? · · Score: 1

    While the idea of having a superfast processor is a pretty exciting thing in itself, the question that arises is whether we really need it? For one, most of the time the processor is idle or uses only a little %age of its power for the very simple reason that we need only a little power of the processor for tasks like web surfing, etc. Games requires a bit more though. I can only see the utility of a super processor in high-end animations or computer modelling, etc and not every John and Jenny do that, I presume.

  12. Re:CBC -- BBC on CBC Opens ZeD.cbc.ca Code · · Score: 1

    Never seen CBC but BBC rocks everywhere in the world and that can be understood when a contrast is drawn. During the Iraq occupation, they showed the most accurate coverage even better than CNN and the expert comments were great.

  13. Re:Updates on Security Issues in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Most probably it will be nearly as bad as IE. Loopholes get discovered only when you start actually using the product.

  14. wow! on Intel Researchers Build Laser on Chip · · Score: 1

    photonics with electronics, now that's what i called innovation. unfortunately the area was introduced some 30 years ago. so what's the deal, bill?

  15. Re:Apple: Always thinking on Apple Nixes Live Webcast, Satellite Feed · · Score: 1

    actually they are trying to beat Gates in screwing up. after all he is a legend and they might as well go down the guiness book for it.

  16. Re:wow on An FM Broadcast Transmitter For Your Home · · Score: 1

    And now the midnight traffic update. Our front porch is empty and so is our garden. So if you want to use our porch to park your car, you are free to do so.

  17. Re:Proof of concept? on Gigabit Transfer Rates Over Power Lines? · · Score: 1

    everything innovative starts from the drawing board before taking shape.

  18. Re:Not surprising on Microsoft Drops Windows XP for Itanium · · Score: 1

    Dumped by friends and foes.

  19. Re:Libraries on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: 1

    But that won't be a problem, if there is Python there are libraries.

  20. this is due to a huge generation gap on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 1

    Hard to believe but computers were almost non-existent in most parts of India about ten to fifteen years ago. The computer boom started only somewhere in the early 1990's. Only high end government organisations used computers then. Even today half of the non-techie people dosen't know the difference between INTERNET and email. Needless to say the graduates who took posts as police officers and judges were not trained for the medium and hence they lack the much needed professional skills. This is primarily due to the sudden technology boom. But we are progressing and the next generations of officers would be a lot better.

  21. if you still get infected on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    ...never inform microsoft. after all they didn't make the spyware, they are 'third party softwares'.

  22. Re:Information and Release on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    easy, sell more and more patches and keep users subscribed to 'get the latest'.
