  1. Katrina, Zeta, Jones? on Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic · · Score: 1

    So there are hurricanes called Katrina and Zeta, but is there one that is called Jones?

  2. Obligatory on Microsoft Teams Up With Japanese VoIP Carrier · · Score: 0, Redundant

    All your VoIP networks are belong to us.

  3. Re:FLAC has its uses on 10 Failed Technology Trends of 2005 · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it was my speakers that made the difference.

    NPerhaps you have listened to too much loud music such that your ears are failing? :-)

  4. Re:From experience: on Hot Tech Skills For 2006? · · Score: 1

    I share your sentiments on VoIP. Other than that, I think AJAX skills would be in great demand as well.

  5. Re:Why Video Blogs Really Suck on Why Video Blogs Will Suck · · Score: 1

    Well, we can always hope for Keyra to have her own video blog! Or her wannabies!

  6. Time is money on Does Faster Broadband Matter? · · Score: 1

    No doubt webpages load up instantly, there are other occassions where you might wish to have a faster, fatter pipe.

    For example, when you need to download an urgent Powerpoint slide or PDF, or a LiveCD image that you need to troubleshoot another PC, or when you are updating software on your computer. Thus, having a fast connection gives you great comfort and convenience. This luxury is what money can buy.

  7. Re:GUI? on Why Use GTK+? · · Score: 1

    Nothing!

    Merry Christmas!

  8. The site is slashdotted... on 2005 Foot In Mouth Awards · · Score: 1

    So I am wondering if there is anything along the line of the "Sony Rootkit" incident in the awards... Any ideas?

  9. No more syntax errors! on Writing Genetic Code · · Score: 1

    With just "G", "T", "A" and "C" as keywords, it is very unlikely to make syntax errors. Cool...

  10. Re:Ok, I'm confused on First Experimental Success of a Superfluid · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, being curious, I clicked the link and oddly enough, it basically stated the same exact stuff. The difference, though? It said MIT did it.

    Who are the actual people who did this? Did MIT do it first and Rice got the credits? Am I mis-reading both articles and they're completely different?

    So basically, you're saying that the people in the article is superfluous?

  11. A Japanese version of the movie "I, Robot"... on Japanese Find Robots Less Intimidating Than People · · Score: 1

    Would certainly change their perception of robots.

  12. Re:Actually on 2005 Scientific Highlights · · Score: 1
  13. The much anticipated link! on Fosfor Gadgets' Top 10 Weirdest Computer Case Mods · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Computers come in many different flavours, but apparently that ain't enough for everybody. Case modding - the modification of a computer chassis - has become a big hobby for thousands of enthusiasts around the world.

    During the last week, I have browsed through thousands and yet thousands of different case mods to create this list of The Top 10 weirdest case mods ever. Your personal favorite might not be in the list, so feel free to post a comment below.

  14. Re:The big question remained unasked, unanswered.. on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Taken from the link: "Adam: I'd also like to answer an unasked question here -- we're NOT gay! We're both happily married, and we're not even remotely gay.

    Jamie: It's true: We're both quite happily heterosexual, thank you very much. Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

    Well I guess the myth is... *whooo...bang!*

  16. Besides P2P filesharing... on P2P Population Growing Again · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There is an upcoming new use of the P2P distribution model: P2P TV.

    Instead of downloading videos off eDonkey and then watch them afterwards, I watch video streams "live" with PPLive.

    Stay tuned, I'm guessing that P2P TV is the next big thing after Napster/KaZaA/eDonkey!

  17. Who made this Santa? on Hacking Santa · · Score: 2, Funny

    I haven't read the article... but is this Santa made by Sony? ;-)

  18. Re:Radio Waves?! on MSIE To Adopt Firefox Feed Icon · · Score: 2

    First, there're ActiveX exploits, and now, IE comes with mind-controling waves?

    *puts on my tinfoil hat*

  19. Re:Cost of around $1/CD on CD Ripping Services Compared · · Score: 1

    "The parent was simply pointing out that the price of buying another copy is comparable to using these services."

    I was just trying to play around with a pun. Oh well, guess it didn't work.

  20. Re:Cost of around $1/CD on CD Ripping Services Compared · · Score: 1

    "download full albums for $1.00-$1.50"

    Downloading songs that I already own the CDs, at $1.00-$1.50 for each album? What a rip off!

  21. Re:the old saying goes.. on Two Open Document Standards Better Than One? · · Score: 1

    As the old saying goes, "Two heads are better than one"

    <head>...</head>

  22. Is it really that great? on Steam Hybrid Car from BMW · · Score: 1

    "Overall, this gives a 15% more efficient engine;"

    Hmmm... sounds incredible. Is it really that great or it's just hot air?

  23. $75 Billion dollars!!! on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 1
