  1. Re:How long until it's usable? on Single Molecule Transistor A Reality · · Score: 1

    hopefully we'll be able to see this somehow work into solving this problem.
    this should, obviously, allow electronic devices to be even smaller since less space will be needed for the switches.
    perhaps this'll allow for those tiny wearable computers we can strap on our belts like an ipod with monitors on headsets with 1024x800 resolution eh?

  2. Re:Sigh on Cell phones as Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    No, that was just a side thought about how much extra stuff they put in the phones and how much room all those extra features take up in relation to the actual phone itself, if you can even call it that anymore.

    Sure, it makes calls, but it's more of a media center/entertainment center in your pocket. Yeah, it's convinient, but it gives you poor quality of the extra features, like games. There's bad games out for cell phones, save for the phones made to be handheld game systems, but those are different. The cameras in cell phones get better and better, but they still pale in comparison to the actual digital cameras you can go buy. If I want a camera, I'll buy a camera, but don't try to pass of this thing that you say is a phone and a camera and this and that and the other thing, when it's just nowhere near as good as the thing that is just a camera, and is designed to be a camera.

    I want a phone, so I buy a phone. Would you buy a laptop if all you wanted was an easy to use flash mp3 player? No. You wouldn't. Even though a laptop has all kinds of other great features and even plays your mp3's too.

    It gets to be overkill at a certain point. like the watch in Spy Kids that does anything you can think of except tell time, because there was no room left for the watch after all the extras got put in. That's exactly what they are, extras, no regular, main features.

  3. Sigh on Cell phones as Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    whatever happened to the good ol days when a phone was just a phone? I'll bet if they took all the extra crap out they could make the standard size of a cell phone that of the Moto Razr...

  4. the truth is out on Longhorn Drops 'My' Prefixes · · Score: 1

    I guess they decided to stop bullshitting everyone about who really owns your computer.

    the .NET passport terms and conditions from 2001 (before people started reading it, which made them "update" it... and make it look prettier) should've been a clue...

  5. Mr. President or Mr. Terrorist? on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: 1

    If you take the secretary of state's defenition of 'terrorism' and compare it to how Bush's administration is trying to get ISP customer data, you might find something shocking... (III) A violent attack upon an internationally protected person (as defined in section 1116(b)(4) of title 18, United States Code) or upon the liberty of such a person. hmmm... we're not willingly giving them our data (our privacy) (even though we may not all be internationaly protected, i'm sure some ISP customers are), and they're going behind the backs of the courts and demanding it... sounds like a violent attack on our right to privacy, which is a liberty we hold dear in this country... seems like the only thing keeping the Bush Administration from being a terrorist organization in this issue is the fact that the US government isn't a foriegn group... but i'm sure there's some outsourcing in the US Govt., so what's that mean?

  6. good AI on A Gamer's Manifesto · · Score: 1

    because who wants an enemy that actually fights back, right?

  7. wow on Researchers Control the Flip of Electron Spin · · Score: 1

    absolutely riveting.

  8. Re:Hmmm... on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 1

    certainly no webpages with women on them

  9. if you were stranded in the middle of nowhere... on Really Remote Internet Access · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...what one thing would you bring with you? apparently this man chose the wrong answer as a child
