  1. Too Low? on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seeing that they are selling for over $800 on ebay, they seem to be losing a bit of money ... not that they need it or anything.

  2. Re:Coming next... on Windows Advantage Validation Process On Firefox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "I use firefox as much to avoid the heavy-handed control Microsoft and other corporations are trying to exert over how my PC should operate."

    Humm ... You install a Microsoft operating system and expect it not to control how your PC should operate? What exactly do you think an "Operating System" is supposed to do?

  3. Re:It's not the US government's choice on U.S. Insists On Keeping Control Of Internet · · Score: 1

    You are right. So why does it matter if the US gives up the root DNS? Why are is the UN fighting for control, when it doesnt matter? Sounds like a big waste of time to me. We built it, we control it. If people decide its not the way to go, then they have the option to point to whatever root DNS they want to.

  4. web developers benefiting Microsoft? on MSN Takes on Google AdWords · · Score: 1

    The majority of adwords are inserted by web developers. Will the development community use Microsoft adwords, even though, the majority dislike Microsoft because of their failure to update IE? With the already established Google adwords, it seems it would take a lot to get web developers to begin using a Microsoft product. ( I know, IE 7 is on its way ... and I really hope it lives up to its promises. )

  5. Re:moralknigths??? on Stolen U.C. Berkeley Laptop Recovered · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    uhh ... that must be some good weed ...

  6. Re:His bail was $19,964? on Stolen U.C. Berkeley Laptop Recovered · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems like this could be a case of dyslexia as the selling price of $1,195 would give us a nice round $20,000 bail. $1,159 -> $1,195 ?

  7. Browser Bugs/Flaws? no way! on Unpatched Firefox Flaw May Expose Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bugs and flaws are commonplace ... its a model which promotes a fast fix to these shortcomings that really makes a difference.

  8. Re:Accurate results? on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is odd however the #1 result for failure is a webpage without the word "failure" in it.
