  2. Ham Radio? on 12Mbps Powerline Broadband Trial Unveiled · · Score: 1

    This is a horrible idea. It will mess up ham radio.

  3. Re:Those who program... on Gaming Industry Engages in a Bit of Nostalgia · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's the other way around. Game designer tend to become less into playing games.

  4. Re:Informative Video on Toshiba 40GB Perpendicular Magnetic Record Drives · · Score: 1

    Did I hear right when it said data will only last 1,500 hours? Or was that 1,500 hours of music?

  5. Apple users on Henrico County iBook Sale Creates iRiot · · Score: 1

    ... are such strange creatures.

  6. Missing something? on Warming Up Mars With Greenhouse Gases · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mars's atmosphere is primarily CO2. Atmospheric pressure on Mars is approximately 1% of that on Earth. Sorry, but even someone with little knowledge like me knows that trying to fill a planet with a denser sea of air is impossible. Earth has about .03 percent CO2 in the air. We have billions of combustions autos and power planets all over and we haven't even put a dent in that figure.

  7. Re:Good on World's Largest Solar Array to use Stirling Engine · · Score: 1

    I know... it seams people would rather shoot the pollution into the air (52% elec. is coal power) instead of keep it contained.

  8. READ THE ARTICAL; THEN TROLL on Philips Working on LCD TV Ghosting · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Remove one of the advantages of LCD screens, why don't you?"

    You obviously missed this. It will only turn off and then on again if there is a color change. WHAT A CONCEPT TO TAKE IN?

    While the pixels adjust their color, the backlight is off, and it will only switch on when the image is ready

  9. price? on Mac OS X Gaining Ground In Corporate Environs · · Score: 0, Troll

    What company is going to fork out 2.5k just for a macbox that doesn't even include a monitor keyboard and dumbass one button mouse? Any company that wants to not save money.

  10. Re:War of Foo! on U.S. High Level Anti-Piracy Post Created · · Score: 1

    Wow didn't know there are more people working in ammunition factories then the entire manpower of the US military.

  11. going the wrong way on FCC Chair Says Broadband Top Goal · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't the government lay the lines for internet where needed and let companies use them? Just like the Tennessee Valley Authority Act but with internet.

  12. Simple math on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 1

    Win2000 is what? 5, 6 years of age? So it's compatible with 3 year old computers when it came out? Duh. And I'm sure even older PC like the infamous IBM clones can even run it.

  13. Re:Los Angeles on LA City Votes For Municipal Fiber Network · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "LA city" usually means a city. Not a city in a state.

    Would you write "NY city" and expect people to think your talking about Buffalo and not the city of New York? :rolleyes:

  14. Re:news for nerds? on IGN Interviews Natalie Portman · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Heh; yea, I agree.

  15. cartridges on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yay, no more dealing with expensive printer cartridges!

  16. Re:Vulnerable on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 1

    There isn't much in space yes. But something as small as a paintchip flying 5000mph can do a bit of damage.

  17. Re:Racket! on Arizona School Won't Use Textbooks · · Score: 1

    These laptops are very old school. I doubt it would even be possible to play starcraft. In other words, the stealing intuitive is the same as a text book. 3 books will cost about the same price as one of these ancient folding boxes.

    The high school near me did this notebook thing for all freshmen and a lot of kids brought in their own laptops.

  18. Re:Colorblindness on Tracking the IT Job Market with a Bot · · Score: 1

    "People with red/green color blindness can often distinguish red or green if they can visually compare the colors." Go die now you stupid trolling clod.

  19. Re:Yay on Another Stab at Laptop Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If people are going to be forking out money to pay for a lowjack system in their laptop; it's most likly not about money but more about the data in the laptop.

  22. Very true on The 12-minute Windows Heist · · Score: 1

    I installed windows xp a few months ago with one of the 'old' (no SP1 or SP2) versions. I noticed a few minutes after connecting the to the internet i was being infested. Windows without SP2 can easily be overrun without even using any programs like IE. In the end I had to download SP2, Firefox, and Anti-spyware to a CD. Then reformate and install windows xp all over again without connecting to the internet.

  23. Re:Let the E-Wars begin! on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 1

    Windfarms cost a lot of money and energy to make, for the power they will put out and the cost there not a viable source of energy. France is already 90% Nuclear energy; I don't see why there is much reason for the green party to complain. Compared to America using 52% coal power and only 14.7% Nuclear... Which is worse? A family person indirectly burning over 8 tons of coal for their electricity or about a test tube size portion of nuclear waste?

  24. Re:"Scathing" != "Untrue" on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 1

    Linux grew out of a spare-time hacking back ground; while BSD grew out of a controlled engineering background. BSD tends to shy away from hackish type solutions when there happens to even be a hint of proper solution. In the end, it is much better to try and wait for the clean answer then to integrate the dirty answer.
