  1. Re:"Breaking up" with Google? on Google Targeted By Anti-Censorship Movement · · Score: 1
  2. Re:huh on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 5, Informative
  3. Re:Kick ass on Domestic Spying Records Ordered Released · · Score: 1

    It's Nick... Nick....
    And I know it is Colbert's phrase...

  4. Kick ass on Domestic Spying Records Ordered Released · · Score: 1, Troll

    A big tip of my hat to this guy... and a wag of my finger to the bush administration... bears are still the #1 threat at the moment...

  5. Re:Looks fishy to me. on A Look Inside Newegg · · Score: 1
    and a lot of large warehouses wont have as fancy a system though

    A lot of warehouses don't care about the insane turnaround speed that Newegg cares about...

  6. This won't work... on Google to Compete with iTunes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unless Google can figure out a way to get this to work with iPods... and makes an interface that doesn't suck (Google Video Store is very lacking compared to the ITMS)... AND has something "unique" to their service (lower price isn't going to work) they are screwed...

    Going with an actual application instead of an AJAX interface is a departure from Google's business plan... but it is inevitable if they even think they may want to get into this market...

  7. Patience on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 2, Informative

    Patience... Not Literacy... It takes too much time to read the fine print on those damn offers... Kids these days are too busy getting drunk....

    God Bless College Life

  8. Re:Woo Hoo! on TiVo Unveils Series3 HDTV DVR · · Score: 1

    I have the same thing.. if you go hunting around you can get the upgraded version of the HD one... I am using it with my Standard Definition TV but I get the 80Gigs of recording capacity (which is great for SD) and 2 shows at once... It's not the TiVO interface, but it's damn good...

  9. Ric Romero on Tech Punditry In 2005 · · Score: 1

    "You can make phone calls without wires. We'll show you how at 11"

  10. Re:3 Email Heads Walk into a Bar... on 3 Email Chiefs Come to Dinner · · Score: 1

    You can remove that RSS feed... I found it annoying, considering I already read my RSS feeds on my Google Personalized Homepage...

  11. Re:One other thing I thought of on Nielsen Adapting To Modern TV-Watching · · Score: 1

    Take a look at Newsgroups and how things are released there... if one client doesn't get all the packets, then there are always parity files that are distributed with the releases... Now, assuming you wnated to add multicast support to Bittorrent, if a client misses a few packets they just go back and request it again... But I doubt you would want to use regular old BT... it isn't designed for Multicast networks...

  12. Re:Hmm, I don't think I'd go that far... on Going From Gator to Claria · · Score: 1

    As long as they take the cannoli...

  13. Re:HDTV, and how I helped MS lose money on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Yes... because a competing company purchasing 10,000 of these then modifying them in a manor that the competing companies themselves are very much against (and wish to make illegal) is a GREAT idea... /rolls eyes

  14. Re:well? on First Step In DS Wifi Challenge Complete · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Girlfriend? With similar work ethic as /. user? As Napoleon Dynamite would say: "LUCKY" or was it: "Have you taken it off any sweet jumps"?

  15. Re:Content is king on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 1

    Google just needs to buy LexisNexis and EBSCO Publishing and the databases associated with them.

  16. Re:Bigger Screens good, Wider Screens bad on Get Ready For The 20-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

    Or you could, you know... design it in HTML with Tables. I'm not going to loose sleep because my site can't be seen properly on Lynx or Konqueror. I worry about IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. All of which render plain-jane HTML just fine for my tastes.

  17. Re:Before everybody has a knee-jerk reaction ... on Authors Guild Sues Google Over Print Program · · Score: 1
  18. well... on I/O Electronic Brush for Painting · · Score: 1

    At least Blue Man Group has something to add into their show....

  19. How much you wanna bet... on Another School Exposes Private Information · · Score: 3, Interesting

    they figured this out after it showed up on Google? What ever happened to auditing what you have on the web.

  20. Re:Hmmm on Why the Rokr Phone Is An Important Failure · · Score: 2, Informative

    yes... but that is not high-speed. For $5/month you can get unlimited data transfer over Sprint phones. Get vision service and have dial-up-networking dial #777. More Info At Sprintusers.com

  21. BUT! on WoW Helping or Hurting the Industry? · · Score: 1

    How many of those accounts are gold farmers paid $0.05/hour? Or secondary accounts? There are families with 5 copies of the game. Blizzard needs to invest in endgame content QUICKLY before they loose all those subscribers. After you hit 60, the game just sucks. Plus, there is still too much grinding for me.

  22. Re:Good, but... on The Google Search Server · · Score: 1

    I'm personally suprised we don't have a leaked image of a Google Mini or Search Appliance HDD somewhere in the bittorrent world...

  23. If there is no power... on Technology In Katrina's Wake · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How will these kiosks work in the areas where they are needed most? What about internet access? etc.

  24. Re:kernel bug fixes on 2.6.13 Linux Kernel Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Didn't you get the memo? We're putting cover sheets on the TPS Reports before they go out now. I'll get you another copy of that memo.

  25. Re:Well... on Google Seeks to Develop Parallel Internet? · · Score: 1

    I believe you are exactly correct sir. +1 Insight, if only I had mod points at the moment
