  2. Re:Don't.... on World of Warcraft AQ Gates Open! · · Score: 0

    1400/24 = 58.3 58.3 != 70

  3. Different DRM Schemes on Google Video Not Ready for Prime Time? · · Score: 0

    Maybe it is a good thing that there are different ones, just like how it's a good thing that there are multiple competing operating systems. Having different OS' is good because if a major virus is released, then chances are it won't infect every computer because of their differences. So, different DRM's might be good in preventing people from cracking them.

  4. GoogleNet on Google to Transform Television Advertising? · · Score: 0

    I though those bases that they were putting all over the planet where for the GoogleNet second Internet thing? Or was that just speculation?

  5. What?! on Dental School Blogger Punishment Reduced · · Score: 0

    No, this is wrong. Not only is this whole thing an embarrassment to the First Amendment, but is also outrageous! This kid is being forced to do 100 hours of community service for nothing but a blog post. Yes, there are reasonable regulations on freedom of speech, but this definitely isn't in violation of those.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

  6. New! on Bluetooth Mouse That Stores And Charges In PC Slot · · Score: 0

    Introducing the new MoJo Mouse, complete with a PCMCIA powered enlarger.

  7. I don't get it... on Infinium Phantom Lapboard Coming to PC? · · Score: 0

    How does the keyboard stay at an angle while you are using it? It seems like it will just move back down on top of your hand when you press a button. Also, how comforatable will that be to have you hand at an angle? I agree that even when a keyboard is flat if can't really get any more uncomforatble, but an angle seems like a disturbance as well.

  8. Wow on Chemical Words List · · Score: 0

    This is one of the lamest thing I have ever seen...

  9. Darwinia on 2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards · · Score: 0

    Hum, I surprised to see that Darwinia didn't rank higher on their list... It is an excellent game, but I guess I will need to try out everything above it to really tell.

  10. Wait a second... on Google Acquires 5% of AOL · · Score: 0

    Google could have sent out some operatives to steal a bunch of those AOL CD's for free... A quick way to gain a part of AOL!

  11. Awesome on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 0

    Yay, that's my University!

  12. Interesting... on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 1, Funny

    So this drink will help your liver and rot your teeth at the same time. Thats a bit weird.

  13. Sheesh... on An Interview with Jeffrey Kalles · · Score: 0

    And today we will be interviewing the Nintendo of America Head Janitor...

  14. What the heck? on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 0

    I could have sworn Bill Gates said that he was looking for more American Computer Science majors...and now he is doing an Indian contest? What the heck?!

  15. Old? on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 0

    This has been in GMail for quite some time now. The only new feature is that you can disable the bar if you don't want it. I don't know why they are saying it's new...

  16. Old'D on Hard Drive Window · · Score: 0

    A graduate student did this already at my University while doing reasearch for his thesis.

  17. Stupid AIM worms... on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 0

    We have an AIM worm circulating at my University which disguises itself as an AOL Greeting Card...

  18. FP on Laptop Makers Skeptical of $100 Laptop Schedule · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First Post

  19. UNIX as well on Laser Etching a Laptop · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is on the http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixnut4/index.html book cover as well.

  20. Re:It Didn't Help Them Last Time on Revolution Least Expensive Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    GameCube was $100 cheaper, and all it really did was convince all of the consumers that it wasn't as technically able or as good an investment as PS2 or Xbox. The Gamecube was certainly more "technically able" that the PS2.

  21. Re:In other news: on Get Ready For The 20-inch Laptop · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha! That was nice.

  22. Wow, Wallace = Idiot on Archimedes Death Ray in San Francisco · · Score: 1

    "While conditions were nearly perfect Saturday -- clear skies and almost no wind -- Wallace said moisture in the old boat's wood prevented the vessel from catching fire. " So, if you were a boat floating in the ocean, there wouldn't be any moisture allowing the ship to still, maybe, catch on fire...?

  23. Living to be 300? on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone want to live to be 300. It's not like your aging gets spanned out across the length, so you will just keep getting older and older and older. You will be old a lot longer than you are young. Why would anyone want this?

  24. Another stinker... on Microsoft, Intel back HD DVD over Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    It's like the Betamax all over again.

  25. Cigar Shaped? on Kuiper Object Discoveries Formally Announced · · Score: 1

    A cigar shpaed planetoid, that's awesome!
