  1. Processing on PayPal to Offer Micropayments · · Score: 1

    I work for a credit card processing agency and we deal with all the backend processing from the information provided by Paypal. The problem with processing $0.01 is that after Visa or Mastercard takes their cut and then we take our cut, their might be only a three quarter of a cent left. It would take a lot of sales to make any type of profit.

  2. Strange on Apple Is Accused of Violating Software Patent · · Score: 1

    Can Apple be accused or hit with any more issues at this point? Being that they're gaining such good market value, I don't like to see the continued issues.

  3. Hmm on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 1

    Poor law enforcement -- I guess they're going to have to do some real work.

  4. Re:Love It on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    They're slacking in that regard. They better concentrate on their core market.

  5. Love It on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    I love how Microsoft is starting to feel threatened by everything. Bring on competition.

  6. Interesting on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1

    I'm sure with a few 'funny' pills, some people could have a lot of fun with this.

  7. AMD vs IBM on AMD Lures IBM Veteran to Lead Chip Design · · Score: 1

    As bad as that is for IBM, it's great to see AMD taking some strides.

  8. Bandwidth on Web Access Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    Bring on the bandwidth.

    Wonder how they're going to route any downed power lines.

  9. Rock on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Dude, it's Quake in real life!@#

  10. Re:Windows on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 1

    Of course their are games that work and probably ways to get a lot of games to work but the majority of the people that use computers do not comprehend how to do this.

  11. Windows on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 1

    A side from the compability with games, Windows 2000 was great.

  12. OS2 on IBM Officially Kills OS/2 · · Score: 1

    How unfortunate. I share the same history of using OS/2 with some of the BBS's I ran in the past. With the headstart it had on Windows, it should have only been a matter of time before it took the market. Sad to see it go.

  13. Drupal on Community, OSL and Sun Jump to Drupal's Rescue · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Good for Drupal. Glad to see that people still care about others projects.

  14. Hmm on Arizona School Won't Use Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Man, people are going to turn into non-social zombies in 20 years.

  15. Ironic on Bittorrent Creator A Digital Pirate? · · Score: 1

    Do they not have something else to worry about? Namely: War?

  16. Google on Ballmer: 'We'll catch Google' · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but Microsoft will not catch Google. No originality.

  17. M$ on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 1

    I think anyone could have told us that. What idiots.

  18. Maps on More Info on Google's 3D Maps · · Score: 1

    I was pretty surprised at the detail of those maps. I'm sure this is only the start of what google plans to do with them.

  19. Wireless on Intel Working on Agile Wireless Chip · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Just what we need. More wireless crap to fry our brains.

  20. Anything on Paul Graham Describes Dangers of Spam Blacklists · · Score: 1

    I don't care what the result or future creation of any type of spam protection -- I just want something that consistantly works.

  21. Stupid on Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Well, that is a stupid idea. Like they don't know the outcome of this.

  22. Fatties on Online Takeout Delivery is Back · · Score: 1

    How fat is America? Seriously. We aren't going to have to leave our house in 10 years.

  23. Nerds on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They might make better lovers for a while, but the chick will leave for a badass.

  24. Graveyard on SCO Announces Q2 2005 Results · · Score: 1

    Serves them right.

  25. Ironic on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    Sweet, sweet irony.
