  1. US results on Australian Do Not Call Register · · Score: 1

    A telephone survey of people on the US do not call list revealed that those people still get unwated telephone calls from telemarketers and phone surveys

  2. Re:I don't want tailored ads on Google's Smart Advertising Leads to More Clicks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If everyperson was like you then there wouldn't be a free search engine you would pay a subscription stuff or something..
    BTW in future if google expands into a lot of different areas it can offer a subscription so you wouldn't have to see google adsense/adwords and other google advertising :)
    It would be a good thing for all those privacy nuts

  3. Re:"transmit a two-hour movie in 0.5 seconds"? on Terabit Fiber (In 2010) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Its a poor way to measure speed... Since you wouldn't use this line to connect to internet directly you harddrive is not that fast to read/write data at such a rate. It will be used in between large ISPs to trasmit data.

  4. Details on Terabit Fiber (In 2010) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Article has little details why is putting fibre-optic cables on power-transmitting steel towers achieves such a speed ?

  6. Re:The RIAA is irrelevant. on Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think you can get far buy just signing a contract with Itunes to distribute your music... you won't have name recognition, there will be some who will download your music but it won't be a lot of ppl... You need to get your name known and without good budget or good connections you stuck with labels... and especially if all you have is nice body and little vocal talent...

  7. Thats good news on Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The more of this claims the better... They will cross the line very soon and will be hit back with lots of lawsuites. Leaving them no money to sue regular people

  9. Re:XMLHttpRequest security issues on Early AJAX Office Applications · · Score: 1

    You are paranoic just a the author of the article...
    track page viewing habits and iron out usability problems
    I don't see at the problem if a website can adjust to me so it easier to use.
    Its not like they are tracking were I click the most on the webpage and next time I want to click there they display a banner there just before I click...
    Your just a random number to website owners nobody cares that much about you personally website only care about the mass.

    You are porbably the one of those users who delete all google cookies because you think google will own your computer through cookies and know everything about you..

  11. "we would not have built the space station" on NASA Admin Says Shuttle and ISS are Mistakes · · Score: 1

    "Had the decision been mine, we would not have built the space station we're building in the orbit we're building it in." When the first space station was build, USA had a wooden model of something simular the IIS was build as an international coalition, and USA provided some parts for the IIS and money but still they won't not be able to build it by themselves and the most important parts of the IIS were build by Russian's

  12. He is reffering to Sun Desktops on Sun President Says PCs Are Relics · · Score: 1

    I think he means Sun Desktop computers are dead... We had those in our university lab. They have the weirdest setup, all the keys are in unsual places they have some form of keypad on the right hand side...

  13. Re:What? on US Senate Allows NASA To Buy Soyuz Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't this [Bush] administration pay Americans to build these Soyuz like crafts instead of simply buying?

    Because it would cost several billions to design and several years to build, and why do that when you can buy it at a fraction of what it cost to launch one shuttle

  14. Re:IMHO, I don't think this means much. on Nokia to Become Involved in Eclipse Development · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Alternatives to PayPal on eBay To Buy Skype For $2.6 Billion · · Score: 1

    But which one of them is widely used between webmasters? Only Epassporte (which will give you 10-15% lower exchange rate if you take out money in another country).... PayPal has good site and is widely acceptable, unfortunetly they do have problems with locking account :(

  17. Re:Eastern Europe = Big Mistake on Growth in Indian Offshoring Slowing · · Score: 1

    And by the same token all americans a spamers and perverted child molestors... In eastern europe there is a lot of brain power but not a lot of places that pay good because of this some ppl turn to illegal activities... Given the opportunity to earn good money for a good company I don't think they will be worse then any other country There will be some small % that might sell info like at any other country...

  18. Hmm on Lucene in Action · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Search this site using google" :) shouldn't they use their own technology for this ?

  19. RFID in plates on RFID Tags in Law Enforcement · · Score: 3, Interesting

    RFID in plates could help catch stolen vechiles... Right now if your car get stolen you can file a report and that will be the end of the story (that what happend with me at least)

  25. Scapegoat on Government Pressure on ESRB · · Score: 1

    This whole situation with the rating it overblown and politicians just continue to issue stupid statments like "we will get to the buttom of this" just to get their names in the news and so they will look like they are concerned... Sims had nude mods and there wasn't as much fuzz about it. The game is already rated strong sexual content. and the original off the shelf game doesn't have the sex mode.
