  1. Al? on Marvin Minsky On AI · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but who's this Al guy?

  2. Link? on China Jails Porn Site Leader For Life · · Score: 1

    Please?

  3. Not really on IT Workers Face Dangerous Stress · · Score: 1

    "They tend to be less emotionally stable. They tend to react strongly to small things that they might not react to under other circumstances. A change in schedule may be a crisis if somebody is really stressed." Just sounds like it is describing anyone who ever ends up entering INTO the IT field!

  4. Must be... on MS Security Guru Leaves for Amazon.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    the smartest man alive! "...and is considered one of the world's leading experts on how to protect installations of Windows."

  5. Re:EVA upgrade? on Walk in Space for $15 Million (Plus Airfare) · · Score: 1

    I am so happy I'm not the only one that thought this post screamed "Evangelion".

  6. Re:Extra performace not important anymore... on Liquid Cooled X1900 XTX Card Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.silentpcreview.com/ A few thousand people there seem to think noise is more important than performance.

  7. Re:Quaint little plastic disks? on Replacement for Jewel Cases? · · Score: 1

    But does Alcohol 120% work for all cd's? I.E. doesn't copyright protection negate the effectiveness of it for certain discs??

  8. Coaster on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Coming Soon to PCs · · Score: 1

    "ERROR IN BURNING PROCESS"

    And thus is introduced the first coaster-induced suicide.

  9. Re:MythBuster on Archimedes Death Ray · · Score: 5, Funny

    And Mythbusters is LAW!

  10. Red Vs Blue on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 2, Funny

    "It looks like a big cat..." "What like a Puma?" "Yeah there ya go."

  11. Re:something concerns me on Firefox 1.0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Luckily, the beta version solves the standalone update cycle. It uses smaller updates instead of reinstalling the whole program. Much more efficient.

  12. No Patching! on Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Everyone is concerned about developers not being able to utilize the hard drive in the system, but think about it: half-assed games will not be able to be patched at a later date, which is a HUGE upside to the whole thing. Games will be fully finished by release day, not by "a few months later"!

  13. Re:Way ahead of you! on Former Health Secretary Pushes for VeriChip Implants · · Score: 1

    Tin-foil cup!? So... h... CHAFING!

  14. "REALLY WORTHWHILE" on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 1

    As if the rest of the LA Times articles aren't worthwhile. And I am not saying they are.

  15. Re:The microwave stays in the chip on Measuring Microwave Output From A Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod that post "funny" until I realized that he was serious!

  16. Re:high-definition window on Glass In Spaaaaace · · Score: 1

    I would prefer a low-def window, where you can see only the largest streaks and fingerprints on your window. Windex definately has that commercial backwards.

  17. Perpendicular on Seagate's 160GB 2.5-Inch Hard Drive for Laptops · · Score: 2, Informative

    A non-technical, school house rockish explanation of perpendicular storage. Pretty entertaining. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/research/recording_h ead/pr/PerpendicularAnimation.html

  18. This would be great, however... on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    I would hate to have to screen the people who have to buy more than one seat on the airplane to fit properly!

  19. Re:why not on Chase Deploying "Touchless" Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Come on, this was on Mythbusters; these guys kicked the CRAP out out of some credit cards, and then checked out the data on the magnetic strip, and no damage was even noticeable with a card analyzer. These are more resilient than you give them credit for.

  20. Re:Sounds like a good idea for Nintendo. on Square Enix Considers Revolution Support · · Score: 1
    I'd think that there should be options for discovering others in the same zipcode or region though
    Wouldn't that INCREASE the problem with child abductions/pedophilia? Finding perverts near your child to be abducted, instead of making the pedophile commute to "meet" your children?
  21. Re:Yeah, but... on Xbox 360 & Next-Gen Live Specifications Leaked · · Score: 1

    "... it would facilitate the adoption of Linux by the "average" user" Sorry but.. the last xbox could run linux, and Linux wasn't adopted by the "average" user...

  22. Yeah, but... on Xbox 360 & Next-Gen Live Specifications Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    does it run Linux? No seriously this time; if this thing can be modded to run like the last one, this would be a SERIOUS desktop replacement... for a fraction of the cost.

  23. Unbiased? on What Does a Spreading Worm Look Like? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There is honestly no way that this "research" by a anti-virus company could be even remotely unbiased; they are going to exaggerate the hell out of this to make normal internet worms look like ebola.

  24. Re:What I'm curious about on Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features · · Score: 5, Informative

    I... have 6 tabs open right now and 29mb ram usage with the 1.1 release. Don't know if that is because the new release is so good, or yours is so bad, however.
