  1. Re:Helpful thing on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It depends on your idea of "help". To be more precise:
    F1 is a hint
    ALT+F4 is a solution

  2. Helpful thing on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 1

    Try F1. This is the only help available for IE7!

  3. Obvious! on YouTube Restores Comedy Central Clips · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This move is the result of a legal action!

  4. Re:1-800 phone directory? on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    I meant "goggle" in the sense of "something that sounds very close to the guys I'd like to contact".
    Yahoo has been much better: they registered almost all domains with similar sounds or typings as "Yahoo".

  5. Re:Apple Computer vs. phone sex on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    I would check a phone directory before calling a supposed good number.
    Have you ever tried goggle.com?

  6. GOOD NEWS! on IE7 Released As High-Priority Update · · Score: 1

    As a result of this massive upgrade, the whole Internet will be offloaded as all those Internet Exploder clients will be hindering the Microsoft users "internet experience"!

  7. Trademarking domain names on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    A domain name and related services like email and web pages should be treated like phone numbers: it's a communication address.
    A domain name is not the company itself ot its products and services!
    If none would sue anyone for having chosen a specific phone number (like 800 numbers), why on earth a domain name should be the object of legal actions?

  8. More sues on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest Utube to also sue ntube, mtube, cuetube and so on.
    Because they have customers so deeply confused by mistyping and misreading, they need to get as much cash as possible out of anything in order to remain alive in the market.

  9. Something else on ChatterBlocker — Block Distracting Speech at Work · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Personally I just crank the tunes. Anyone know if this actually works or if it's a scam? Or is it just a white noise generator?
    Or maybe it's simply employer stupidity?
    People use to talk each other as an expession of being human for social relationshinps and for knowledge transfers.
    But those employers could be more interested in bodies rather than in minds.
    In this latter case, the software is very useful.
  10. Much better on Germany's New Internet License Fee · · Score: 1

    The German Government should be more flexible: anything that could in priciple line receive any RF broadcast (even FM/AM radios) should pay the toll!
    My desk phone shows a strange interference case: I can head AM radios! Unluckily (for them) I'm not in Germany

  11. Added service? on Wikipedia Goes Mobile · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm a little bit out of all these new technologies, but I thought that once I got my PDA online with GPRS/UMTS/WiFi I should able to reach ... the whole Internet.
    Or not?

  12. Re:CPU design goals on Intel Developing New Chip Designs in India · · Score: 1

    More effective context switch?
    More effective paging and virtual memory support?
    Better SMP onchip support?

  13. CPU design goals on Intel Developing New Chip Designs in India · · Score: 1

    It would be great if the new cheap were designed with operating systems and end users in mind.
    There is a number of things that would be much better if the CPU supported some special instruction. Every OS class student has been tought this.
    Unluckily, most of the new features will certainly be focused on DRM and other copyright enforcement technology!

  14. Windows98 on Windows XP SP1 Support Ends Tuesday · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, Windows 98 had a much longer life!
    Was it a better ... ehm ... operating system?

  15. Considerations on SIP vs. Skype, Making the "Open" Choice · · Score: 1

    Maybe there is some other reason to choose SIP. It's openness (as in OPEN).
    You can choose you favouite service provider (even more than one) and your favourite software (even more than one).
    Yet, if you dare enough, you can run your own service or write your own SIP client.
    Nothing of this can be done with Skype (and similar initiatives).
    Some more interesting considerations about Skype can be found at here, written some time ago by Bob Cringely.
    And if you find these latter things interesting, you'd give a look to this project.

  17. Better use on Sharp Develops Triple Directional Viewing LCD · · Score: 1

    As I only have two hands and two eyes, I prefere to be able to see the Microsoft BSOD from three different perspectives.

  18. Very useful! on .mobi Websites Now Available to Register · · Score: 1

    A whole entire TLD just for "services" aimed to "mobile" users.
    Next step will be the ".car" for 4 wheels enthusiast services and ".c" for C language programmers.
    In the end we'll have almost all dictionary ( .dict? ) words as TLDs!

  19. Original article on Most Distant Galaxy Gives Clues to Early Universe · · Score: 1

    The original article is, of course, here.
    I'd like to see science news announced here by quoting the original source rather than a news company.

  20. Good usage on Comprehensive Airport Wi-Fi Guide · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It seems to me that all those pieces of "hardware" just need your PC DC current from the USB port.
    A very nice advance in technology!

  21. ... and what about phishing? on Bank Accounts of 5,000 UK Terror Suspects Tracked · · Score: 1

    I'd also keep an eye on all those phishing cases involving money transfers!

  22. Re:Oh I get it... on Canadian Copyright Group Seeks To License the Net · · Score: 1

    There's no chance.
    While stupidity is not mandatory to be a politician, it helps greatly.
    As we can see.

  23. Questions and Answers on Windows Vista Prices and Release Date Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny
    Are they really going to make the deadline this time?
    I would rather ask:
    Are they really going to make a release that will resist to cracking more than 15 minutes?
    You all know both answers, however.

  24. Makeover vs New Stuff on Original Star Trek Getting CGI Makeover · · Score: 1

    I fear there is no option nowadays.
    It's much easier and better to remake special FX in an old good movie/serial than producing new ones with higher quality (in the contents I mean), as we've seen in Star Wars episodes 4 to 6.
    Wolrd is getting worse.

  25. Time for Multics on Amazon Betas 'Elastic' Grid Computing Service · · Score: 1

    It seems it is the right moment to revive the Multics project.
