  1. Re:Lower-wattage bulbs on Censorship By Glut · · Score: 1

    Ann Coulter? Undeserved cheap shot? Are you kidding?

    Most conservatives I know can't stand her vitriol.

  2. Re:Is this a good idea? on New Nanotech Fabric Never Gets Wet · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is how Gore-Tex works. You can actually sit on water and it will not come thru the membrane, but water vapor passes thru.

  3. Re:So, what's the operating system? on Jaguar, World's Most Powerful Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    SuSE Linux

  4. I have an eeepc 900 and on Best OS For Netbooks and Underpowered Tablets? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I run Gentoo on it. I get 830 vs 450 fps in glxgears compared to the stock kernel and AsusLauncher/Xandros. I love this pc

  5. A one sentence on Disappointing Cancer Study Results Go Unreported · · Score: 4, Funny

    Summary? You're practically forcing me to read TFA

  6. Re:I looked on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 1

    Nope. Some things are unavailable on amazon, like Dirty Little Rabbits, so I find other places to purchase them. I don't download music I have no right to.

  7. Re:I looked on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember when itms came out with plus the songs were $1.29? More than the DRM encumbered music in any event.

    I think everyone will eventually move away from DRM as well, to maybe watermarking or such. Amazon adds a serial of sorts to their mp3 id3 tags, which would be easy enough to delete.

  8. Re:I looked on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 0, Troll

    Most are indeed $.99, with a lot of singles priced at $.89. And the majority of the albums are $5-$9. And everything is DRM free. Plus, there are almost 30 free songs this week linked to from this week's mp3 newsletter.

    If this is too expensive for you, then I'd recommend getting a job.

  9. Re:I looked on Best Buy Coughs Up $54 Million For Napster · · Score: 4, Informative

    You should look into Amazon's mp3 downloads. less than a buck a song, and totally DRM free. I get 99% of my music this way

  10. Re:Question on Questioning Google's Privacy Reform · · Score: 1

    It's just sitting somewhere taking up space.

    Do you really think Google isn't doing anything internally with this data, and it's "just sitting someplace"? Because I sure don't....

  11. What are YOU doing? on Chronicling the Failures of DRM · · Score: 1

    I purchase most of my music from amazon.com, and always, DRM free.

  12. Mod up on Atheros Releases Free Linux Driver For Its 802.11n Devices · · Score: 1

    Atheros

    It's what I'm running right now, and it'll be the next b/g/n I get.

  13. Re:From a technical perspective ... on Classified Cyber-Security Directive Puts NSA In Charge · · Score: 1

    The NSA would be the one of the best groups, I'd say, to lay out those standards in the first place ... Sure as hell better than the DHS.
  14. Re:Typical. on IBM Responds to Overtime Lawsuits With 15% Salary Cut · · Score: 1

    So, if this only involves an extra hour or two here and there, IBM sucks.

    Really, if this only involves an extra hour or two here and there, then the employees are idiots for bringing the lawsuit.

    Any way I look at his the employees got what they deserve, good or bad.

  15. Re:Who Cares on Coffee Maybe Not a Health Drink! · · Score: 1

    Actually, I do.

    My preferred regimen is 2 cups of coffee in the morning, green or white tea in the afternoon, and a Guinness in the evening.

    Cancer is extremely prevalent in my family; I'm hoping to dodge the bullet.

  16. What are they thinking? on I Dream of Silence From My Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    I've gone to both streaming and flash web sites lately, and I can't figure out what the webmaster is thinking.

    It guarantees I will not return willingly.

  17. Re:Print = Legacy on Print Gaming Magazines Doomed? · · Score: 1

    Maybe for you, but not me. It's much more convenient online.

  18. Re:Print = Legacy on Print Gaming Magazines Doomed? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I surf thru all my classes and none of the teachers care, probably because I participate more than any other student.

    I live downtown in the center on my region's metro area, so net access isn't a problem.

  19. Re:Print = Legacy on Print Gaming Magazines Doomed? · · Score: 1

    Not really. Say I'm at school, I can't open up a newspaper in the middle of class (well, I could, but I'm sure the teacher wouldn't appreciate it). Plus, the NYT only has Sunday delivery here, the Washington post has none. I'd have to go to the newsstand to buy them, whereas I can just hop on line.

    Electronic versions are much more convenient and accessible.

  20. Print = Legacy on Print Gaming Magazines Doomed? · · Score: 1

    The print medium is quickly becoming legacy. I read 3 newspapers a day and a few magazines a month, but they are all online. It's much more convenient as I can read them from anywhere at anytime. Plus, the online search tools are nice, makes it much easier to filter out all the garbage articles I have no desire to read.

  21. What crime? on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1

    "Prosecutor Frank Forchione (said) "This new technology has created a whole wave of crimes, and we're just trying to find ways to solve them."

    I'm sorry, what crime?
