  1. Re:your rights online on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 1

    i agree with the reasons you give, but i was just saying he's gotta be enjoying the fact that we are voluntarily making our lives worse in response.

  2. Re:your rights online on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 1

    i guess your not concerned about online privacy, AC. btw, al-queda didn't have any influence in iraq til we showed up there.

  3. faster than ram on New Data Transmission Speed Record · · Score: 1

    i could be wrong, but isn't that like faster than the communications between parts in a computer including RAM? is there a computer that can feed that much data that fast?

  4. your rights online on Al-Qaeda Hacker Caught · · Score: 5, Insightful

    this should be filed under your rights online, since that is what will be disappearing soon. the terrorists are on the interwebs now. start up the survillence at the ISP level. if we happen to catch a people downloading music and movies, doubleplus good. osama is laughing his ass off watching us burn up our own constitution.

  5. chewing gum on Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    i remember the teacher saying no chewing gum unless u have enough the share enough with the whole class. interesting that he used a chewing gum analogy. so you would go to jail for two years for stealing gum? how about sharing gum? i guess all germans are expected buy their own gum and not ask friends for a piece.

  6. Re:Collaboration on Office Delayed, Too · · Score: 1

    while it's true that only mgt is more likely to use the collab features, they are also the ones deciding what to buy. while it looks like feature bloat, it also means that almost everyone will find what they need. it's not about everyone using everything, but everyone finding features they want/need.

  7. Re:You've got more threads than you might think... on Dual-core Systems Necessary for Business Users? · · Score: 1

    i was at the apple booth at our vendor fair checking out the macbook pro. they had google earth running (i guess it's not ported to unibin yet) and it was taking up 140% of the cpu. i guess the monitor hasn't been updated.

  8. in sovient russia on It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    aliens get abducted?

  9. Re:that strange sound you hear... on It's Official Dell Acquired Alienware · · Score: 1

    sound is familiar, like when apple switched to intel processors.

  10. their first lesson on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 1

    seems they have already gotten their first lesson, they are petitioning to reverse the ban. my feeling is, you are in college. if you want to waste your time and college tuition reading /. in class, that's up to you. if you want to use the laptop as a tool to help you learn better, up to you also. if you don't want to use one at all, same. i understand faculty egos need constant massaging and they hate it when all eyes aren't on them. most college kids are old enough to go die in a war, let them use a friggin laptop.

  11. Re:Less and less relevant? on Windows Vista Delayed Again · · Score: 1

    i can see your point for home users, but most IT shops in big companies would rather die before having to upgrade the OS on desktops so often. that's why so many still use win2k. they way until a service pack or two, decide if it's worth the hassle, figure out how to automate things and lock things down, and then finally roll out. these kinds of places is where microsoft makes their big bucks.

  12. Re:It's the DRM on Windows Vista Delayed Again · · Score: 1

    that would really suck if true. it's not like we will be installing home edition on the podiums in classrooms. i guess no media for us. i doubt they would do this though.

  13. yeah, right on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 3, Funny

    i'll believe it when i see it..

  14. Re:wow... what a bargain on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Coming Soon to PCs · · Score: 1

    i thought blueray was going to have some hard coating developed by tdk to make them much more scratch resistant.

  15. Re:wow... what a bargain on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Coming Soon to PCs · · Score: 1

    is it just me or does new technology take a while to get cheaper?

  16. Re:WTF does this have to do with Apple? on DRM Reduces Battery Life · · Score: 1

    the article mentions itunes acc files. being that itunes is the largest distributor of drmed music files, i guess it's easy to file under apple.

  17. Re:Huh? on DRM Reduces Battery Life · · Score: 1

    also, the fact that when you are using higher bitrates, you will be access the disk more often. i'm sure there is some extra overhead involved when playing back drmed files, but different formats require different amounts of work to decompress. and using different bitrates also throws things off because you access the disk more often.

  18. Re:Urge to Kill .... on Gates Mocks MIT's $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    starving ppl can just google food with their cheap computers. some needs have more urgency than others regardless of long-term benefit.

  19. Re:If only... on Power Consumption and the Modern Geek · · Score: 1

    problem is... where would you plug it in?

    yes, ripping cds to your ipod is legal.. for now.

    sounds like the submitter has a case of armchair quarterback.

  24. field of vision on Motion Sickness Remedies for Games? · · Score: 1

    donno, would using a smaller monitor/sitting further back help? i don't game but i would imagine this would help.

    reminds me of chris rocks line "there isn't one white man in this room who would trade places with me.. and i'm rich! it's that good to be white."
