  1. Block It... on The Future of Putting Chips Inside Our Brains · · Score: 1

    Man. I hope they invent some sort of chip that makes me get back to work.

    Surfing Reddit and /. is killing ma productivity....!

  2. Re:Wow... on BitTorrent Comes to Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    Ahhh! Thanks for clearing that up.

  3. Wow... on BitTorrent Comes to Cell Phones · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Isn't something like 50% of the net's total traffic (by volume) torrent?

    Seems this would really tax wireless capacity.

  4. Animal Names? on Thunderbird to Leave Mozilla Foundation · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know why all of these products are based around animals,
    particularly scary animals at that?

    Mozilla sounds like something that would chase me out of a Japanese movie
    theater, Thunderbird is not only a car and malt liquor beverage, but
    also seemingly a monster's name.

    Duck, Here comes Brontosaurus 1.2!

  5. OK.. on OOXML Denied INCITS V1 Approval · · Score: 1

    whether or not ANSI will grant fast-track approval

    Can someone clear this up?

    Does this just mean they aren't going let it through right now but will eventually?

    I'm a little confused about what this standard will be used for too..Thank you in advance.

  6. A Library Card Tip on Open Library Project Takes Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is great news, I hope it actually works. Related: I recently discovered my local library has about 50% of the books I usually buy. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Must of lost about $10K from that during the last decade. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go check out a copy of "How to Make a Your Very Own Video Game in 16 Days Using ONLY...Wordstar!"

  7. America Vs. The World on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    I'm an American who has traveled through a LOT of countries. Drank, ate, and had a goodtime with the locals just about everywhere. I'm not your typical 'Yank' as I can wear many different skins and blend in with the surroundings quite easily. But those are stories for another time....

    Like it or not, generally this is what's happening:

    A)If you wanna make money, there is no place in the world like the USA. Far and away, this is the place to be for business and capitalism. People say India and China will take us in that aspect...hmmmmm... Anyway, if you want opportunity and have even a tiny bit of entrepreneurial spirit, the US is your place. If you do the work and play it right, you can get whatever money and success you are looking for here. Might take a little while, but it CAN be done easier here than anywhere else in the world from what I can see.

    B)If you wanna have fun, go elsewhere, especially Europe. The US isn't even in the top 30. Nightlife, goodtimes, adventures: this place is pathetic. Ya, I can hear you 'but what about LA, what about NYC'...puhhlease. Maybe there was a time when these fabled locations were decent (Note to fellow Americans: we had 1 1969, the rest of the world never left that year), but living in a Police State doesn't do much for excitement. Then again, a country founded on religious principals shouldn't be expected to be that wild to begin with.

    Overall, it just depends on what you are looking for. I like going abroad for my fun. But I'm also glad to have US citizenship for the overwhelming business opportunities.

  8. Up and Down With RAC on RentACoder Losing Street Cred? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Got good PHP coders from Scriptlance.

    Good designers from GetAFreelancer or Designoutpost.

    Good content people from Guru and Elance...

    That's it.

  9. Dell's Unfair Advantage on HP Regains Throne as Top PC Maker · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh come on! Everyone who has ever bought a Dell product knows the difference lies in their customer service...

    "Hello these ees 'Dan'...may I be of knowing and becoming on the eashew?"

  10. What made Youtube take off? on Dot-Com Bubble v2.0? · · Score: 1

    Anyone know?

    Seems there are/were tons of video sharing sites out there...I can't seem to figure out what made Youtube different.

    Why did Youtube take off and blowup and the other video sites just sort of sat there?

  11. Now on Google Campus to Become Solar-powered · · Score: 3, Funny

    "This Search Powered By The Sun" -Now with 1/3 Less Evil?

  12. The French.... on Radioactive Snails Crawl Up From Beneath · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...are gonna git them some good eatin' now... Escarglow!

  13. Re:A problem that won't be fixed overnight... on Intel Developing New Chip Designs in India · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but have actually outsourced any work over there? The results I've had have been absolutely atrocious. Work 14 hours/day is all fine and dandy but when your product is subpar (to put it as nice as I can), it doesn't really matter....

  14. Re:Depends where you are located on A Quantitative Analysis of Online Dating · · Score: 1

    It also depends on which service you deal with. By far, my best luck was with niche sites. Based on interest or demographics. They already prequalify the people so you are gonna find more of what you are looking for sooner. /2c

  15. One Cool Town... on Madison Rolling Out City-Wide Wi-Fi · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    If I'm not mistaken, Madison has a pretty healthy party scene for the kiddies?

    Add wireless and the possibilities are endless. Real time advertising of the night's 'all you can drink' specials: expect to a see a entrepreneur marketing a 'live ratio' (M/F) count app of the establishments to avoid a night of Octoberfest (plenty of beer and plenty of sausage).

    This is like Strange Brew meeting Snowcrash.
