  1. Virii need cells on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 0

    I thoguht that Virii needed a host. I can see simply self replicating Amino acids a being a host, be attacked by loosely coupled RNA strand incapable of self replication, but wouldn't that mean that the Self replicating amino acids where the precursor of life.

  2. 12 million? on Analyst Sees 12 Million 360s by Year End · · Score: 0

    How many PS2s shipped day 1? is it just me or is this only a mediocre entry into the console market?

  3. Lube on Glide File Sharing Service Debuts · · Score: 0

    They are selling file sharing lube... let me reread that tube of astro-gli... It has to lube to fit a whole operating system in...

  4. Politicans Not stupid, they are bought on Slashback: BlackBerry, Cloning, Smart Hotels · · Score: 0

    The ploy decoy the word 'open' is just enough to put confusion into the discussion of the average non geek. The politician's know this to be the case, and use it accept 'campaign donation' from microsoft.

  5. Physical on Consumer Strikes Back at Crooked Online Retailer · · Score: 0

    What if you had to deal with peopel like this, and all you info said that you lived across the country. But really you set up a dummy corporation through legalzoom for few hundred just to keep a layer of separation between you and your wallet, the next day after the Bait and Switch you show up at the servers physical location, using some ip location database. Would it be more fun to show up with a dozen lawyers, or a dozen drunk and angry thugs?

  6. What does this mean?! on Open Source Worse than Flying · · Score: 0

    I'll leave you with one thought. Finns are socialists. Linus Torvalds is Finnish. Linus Torvalds got here on an airplane. Oh no they are going to neutral us to death! Watch out or they will complain about the same crummy service their airlines have!!

  7. How old? on Superman V: The Sordid Story · · Score: 4, Funny

    If superman returns he had better do it with a crutch and dentures. He should also be the strongest guy at his retirement home :)

  8. Lego guy stole the articles on Stealing Legos for fun and profit? · · Score: 1

    I think this lego guy stole all the articles for today, and they found them stuck in a lego brick jail.

  9. Battlebot on Lego Mindstorms: What Went Wrong? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Someone made a "battlebot out of lego mindstorms, they didn't get past the qualifying rounds though, some about being smashed to peices?!

  10. Why? on Ubuntu Certified for IBM DB2 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Seriously why would you use a Non Mysql/Postgresql database on linux. In Ubuntu the most complicated it could be would be adding the approriate repo's then apt getting what you need, but commercial software is rarely that easy.

  11. Helpful on The Mother of all BIOS Guides · · Score: 1

    This is going to be immensely helpful in my line of work. I have to help people work with their BIOS all the time, and now there is a document that not explains those weird options, but has optimizations as well

  12. Re:Humvee Windshields on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not just any windsheild but a windshield that can stand up to repeated .50 caliber rounds. I think $24,000 is fine price to improve our fighting mens chances at coming home safely. That and it will probably get cheaper when they start mass manufacturing it.

  13. Bill gates on computing history on Gates Donates $15M to Preserve Computing History · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wonder if they are going to preserve key points and dialogues in computing history like "No one needs 640 kilobytes of ram..."

  14. reread the article on GPL 3.0 to Penalize Google, Amazon? · · Score: 1

    The article isn't mandating and behavior change, it is say that the user has a choice.
