  1. What? on WiFi At Logan Airport Leads To Turf War · · Score: 0

    What do they mean make the preferred members pay. They paid for the perferred membership anyway, just consider 2 cents of that twords "paying" for internet.

  2. Vista? on Monad Shell Removed From Vista · · Score: 0

    And I thought they were being sued for the name Vista? Why not make up another cheesy name, spend the time doing so and then include the Monad Shell.

  3. Coaster Anyone? on New MK Movie To Double as Theme Park · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why not build a roller coaster right through it, and call it Universal Studio's, only be filming at the same time.

  4. Re:Wondering the same... on Wikipedia Announces Tighter Editorial Control · · Score: 0

    It will change Wikipedia, but for the better. As you may have seen on Wikipedia, there has been some vandalism, and this looks dumb and takes away from the greatness of Wikipedia.

  5. I don't think it will work. on Pentagon Wants Screenplays From Scientists · · Score: 0

    I don't think it will work. The Discovery channel and others tried this through shows like Junkyard Wars. But it always seemed that they started losing their audience and so they hired hosts that knew nothing about science. You could argue the point that the Discovery channel has shows about engineering, but only geeky kids watch them.

  6. Re:To clarify... on FCC Considers Deregulation of DSL · · Score: 0

    And with this monopoly(SBC-Yahoo) you would have two companies trying to dsl the whole nation. This is smarter than letting others claim area's(like mine) and not offer dsl, which I wish I have because of the price.

  7. Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? on Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft? · · Score: 0

    You bet! My two problems with them is that they have sloopy, crashy code in the OS. The second is that they are one of the few OS's NOT based on UNIX. I personally have no love for Microsoft.

  8. Amateurs and Professionals on What Business Can Learn from Open Source · · Score: 1

    This is also true as some amateurs are more known then sipffy pro's with really big degrees.

  9. "minor inconvenience" on Cisco Warns of Stolen Web Site Passwords · · Score: 0

    this is what Cisco says...Just because you have a huge team of programmers and such doesn't make hacking a "minor inconvenience"

  10. Websites on Hiring Good Programmers Matters · · Score: 0

    Have yee ever seen the programming of some websites? Ergo cheapo programmers.

  11. Cryrogenics on South Korean Scientists Clone Dog · · Score: 0

    When do we clone frozen people like Walt Disney?

  12. Looking at Birds in a Whole New Spectrum on Looking at Birds in a Whole New Spectrum · · Score: 1, Funny

    They also look differently in the electromagnetic spectrum.

  13. 64 bit? on NCQ Improves Performance for SATA Hard Drives · · Score: 0

    "With dual-core processors trickling into the mainstream and multitasking poised to become more popular"

    Don't they mean dual-core and 64bit processors?

    Though I do agree that IDE hard drives have needed a speed boost.

  14. That's awesome... on Interview with Pac-Man Creator · · Score: 0

    Old game developers are awesome because they usually were poor and put their all into fun games. Go Pacman!

  15. I've read... on Risks of Partisan Spam Filtering? · · Score: 0

    Of a guy who gave up isp's all together. And it's practical for your email. Buy a domain for about $15/yr and find hosting anywhere from $1-$10 per month. This gives you no filtering, and so then you can go and download and/or write your own spam filter.

  16. Expected? on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 0

    Was this not expected as not all planets are the same?

  17. Windows on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 0


    And yet another way to convert Windows losers...er..uh users
    Sorry my cough is getting worse and...ehch...worse.

  18. Wifi? on Stair-climbing Robot Built From R/C Car Parts · · Score: 0

    I almost expected it to have Wifi built in.

  19. Re:Face it. on Update on Standards and CSS in IE7 · · Score: 0

    His post should be marked as -7 troll. He hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

  20. If they do it right, it will help identify what... on Rating System for Open Source Software · · Score: 0

    If they do it right, it will help identify what open source projects are auctually still being updated and which ones have potential. What I see here is a rating guide for investors to choose projects to pour their funding into.

  21. Meanwhile... on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 0

    Hackers got into a secure server where the request to keep back the information was being processed and took over the world.

  22. Radio... on Bogus Security Alerts Hit National Weather Service · · Score: 0

    You cannot escape the EAS when you are on the radio. Even if it sounds unbelieveable, you can't just say that you "missed" it, as many devices flash at you and pop-ups florish excitably on the computer.

  23. Face it. on Update on Standards and CSS in IE7 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let's face it - Microsoft will never program a web browser that will pass the Acid2 test. That's not Microsoft's sort of thing. Gates is more interested in crashing and setting bad standards.

  24. Typical response... on Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro · · Score: 0

    Windows user: Linux, that's for programmers.

    Linux user: Windows, that's for people who don't mind crashing computers.

    W: But Linux has no good programs

    L: This is not true my friend, and you can run Windows programs using Crossover Office.

    W: Yee of little faith now changes name to Linux user 2.

  25. Old News on FreeBSD Based Gaming Router · · Score: 0

    A friend of mine built one of these a few months ago on a space pentium 2 and also built a firewall with another, so is this really that breaking news?
