  1. So what's new? on Search Engine For Coders to Launch · · Score: 1

    I could get 356314000 hits with the source code already when I type in an error message (instead of the much needed answer to "what do I do with this then?"). I don't need another search engine for that...

  2. Absolutely on Would You Take A Paycut for More Interesting Work? · · Score: 1

    As long as I can pay my bills and get myself a new DVD once every while I'm fine with pretty much any pay. Doing boring work is murder in the long run. You should always try to learn and explore new things. If your current work isn't doing that for you anymore, you're better off finding something else.

  3. So, what's it for then? on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 1
    From the article:
    • ...targeted to prevent access to pornography by children...
    • ...and is the only viable way to combat child porn...
    • ...software filters in protecting children from porn...
    I thought children watching porn and child porn were different things. But then hey, what do I know.
  4. Nothing new there on Earbud Headphones May Cause Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    Ever since I got my iPod a couple of years ago I'm walking around with a normal sized headset (Sennheiser 437). Advantages: * Less noise spill * Better sound quality * More comfortable So, basically: You won't annoy the people around you so much, you'll enjoy your music better and you can actually wear them for more than 30 minutes without some serious pain Disadvantages: * Local teenagers will laugh at you for looking funny And since they're laughing anyway I'd go for a big headset anytime

  5. Nothing to teach on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    There's really nothing to teach about ID. "*deity-of-choice* has made everything you see and more. It works the way it does because he/she made it that way and nobody knows why. Class dismissed"

  6. Well known fact on U.S. Army To Ramp Up Anthrax Purchasing · · Score: 1

    I thought it was a well known fact that the US helps to set up international rules so that other countries can live by them?

  7. Re:DIY 3d projection on View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection · · Score: 1

    You would need: * Two heat-resistant filters in front of the projector * filter-glasses (about $1 a piece) * A non-depolarizing screen (check stewartfilm.com) * Doom 3 to render different to your two outputs (one for left eye, one for right eye) * A nice rig for the projectors so they can be stacked and aligned properly Otherwise, it works fine. It's called "passive stereo" and has been around for decades...

  8. Re:Visio is really more useful as toilet paper on 29 Vector Drawing Programs · · Score: 1

    "the worst product Microsoft has ever bought" you mean... Up until Office 2003 it wasn't theirs.

  9. Next in line... on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Google, for linking to illegal music, texts, pictures and videos...
