  1. Re:Some common examples on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    I have a hard time believing that, look at the price per gram for the small bags and compare to the large.

  2. Re:Canada has something like that. on Underground 'Cold War City' For Sale · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've been there it was quite interesting. Apparently the start of the movie The Sum of All Fears was filmed there.

  3. American Propaganda Machine at work on The Fracturing of the Internet · · Score: 1

    The US is hardly unique in having a constitution or more importantly a bill of rights.

  4. Re:Just don't use landlines, period. on Canada's Do-Not-Hesitate-To-Call List · · Score: 1

    The normal populace has no idea which NPA-NXXs are cellular (and would only be worse with number portability...), so often people would have no clue they're calling a cell unless the other person tells them.

    In any case, why should one person pay for another person's overpriced portable cancer box?

  5. Yes, I am on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 1

    they haven't printed a hard copy yet! I know this because of the hackers!

  6. Re:I call BS on the other spam worker claim. on Spam Haters Given Right of Reply · · Score: 1

    The real solution is to put sheet metal in the reply envelopes.

  7. Sought not Bought on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 1

    Sought means tried.

  8. Lactose Intolerance on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1

    Apparently you haven't heard that the most of the world is Lactose Intolerant and cannot eat milk products. I think missing something that major disqualifies you as an expert.

  9. Re:Connections to Grokster on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    I read a while ago that the Australia system is so similar to Canada's they sometimes use canadian cases as precedents.

  10. Re:In the year 2000... (and 9) on Jan 2009 Deadline for HDTV Cutoff · · Score: 1

    NC-17: No One 17 and Under Admitted. This signifies that the rating board believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated film is obscene or pornographic.

  11. Insurance on Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights · · Score: 1

    It sounds like an insurance plan; charge a small monthly fee and most of the people rarely if ever need lawyers.

  12. Wrong on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 1

    Employees are just automatically on it. When offenders are hired its one less step in the process!

  13. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    The last study I saw about acupuncture showed that being jabbed with a needle in 'the wrong areas' had the exact same effect as being poked 'in the right areas'; the effect of both was apparently beneficial.

    Most studies on eastern medicine have shown that they have no effect. Don't forget that some members promote ideas like eating tiger gonads for an aphrodisiac.

  14. Re:Microsoft may not be the problem. on Following Bill Gates' Linux Attack Money · · Score: 1

    I don't know that corrupt is the proper word, its one of the most pro-corp governments and its only getting worse under Bush Jr.

  15. +1 Funny on AMD Takes Case To Public, Japan · · Score: 1

    NT

  16. Way off base on Google Sued Over Click Fraud · · Score: 1

    Actually you're looking at it wrong.

    A quick look at their site or remember advertisers cannot prevent Google from counting clicks should bring the realization that ClickDefense's product detects click fraud, not prevent it.

    That they (apparently) detect fraudulent clicks which Google does not, indicates that their product works. Of course this doesn't change the fact they're probably using this as a publicity stunt.

  17. Can't beat em, on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: 1

    Buy em!

    The new and improved AntiSpyware policies!

  18. Re:PPU is the answer. on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype · · Score: 1

    People also said that GPUs wouldn't catch on either. Consider that Epic and other big names are already onboard. The only real problem I see is that their target price range is of GPUs (though they haven't said low-mid-high).

    Anandtech had an article awhile ago (here) which gives information on just how much more a PPU can process.

  19. Re:Interesting on AMD Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Intel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'Rebates' could easily be turned into a lower purchase price. If the manufacturer is able to offer them after sale they could offer before sale instead.

  20. Re:I dont live in utah on Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    I think the percieved problem is that the person sending the email a) may not be in Utah b) doesn't know they're sending to Utah c) has no idea about Utah's laws

  21. Waterloo on The Complete History of RIM · · Score: 1

    One thing that isn't mentioned in the article is its proximity to the University of Waterloo. Its one of the world's bestComputer Science and Engineering schools and has a massive Co-Op program.

  22. Re:Hydra is not the ultimate chess entity on Linux Chess Supercomputer Overpowers Grandmaster · · Score: 1

    Amateurs assisted by over-the-counter chess programs probably make unexpected moves that Grandmasters and Supercomputers aren't experienced with countering.

  23. Re:Identify on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 1

    And all this time Bill thought he was supporting the opera!

  24. Exactly Scapegoat on LA Times Pulls Wikitorial, Blames Slashdot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every wiki has these problems, linked to by slashdot or otherwise.

  25. Safari & widgets on MS Patch Train Leaves the Station · · Score: 1
