  1. Re:Ummm, what's going on here? on Rethinking the Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    Lenovo sells IBM branded ThinkPads/ThinkCentres and its own Lenovo 3000 series computers.

  2. How about this on HP Launches Ink Patent Violation Manhunt · · Score: 1

    Lexmark X1185 printer-scanner: $59. Black and color cartridges: $72. My family often buys a new printer instead of new ink in order to save money, and damned if it don't work.

  3. Povray on Add Another Core for Faster Graphics · · Score: 1

    But when we get into presentation-quality raytraces (at least with Povray), my P4-2.4HT takes 3-4 minutes per frame. And that's on lowest quality. High quality takes a matter of days.

    Would multicore processing help out here as much as it would with high-speed raytraces?

  4. Obligatory on Hardware Headaches Inevitable? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

  5. If on The NYT's OS-Restrictive Video Policies · · Score: 1

    If they support Unix, then they'd get people who had a bad or esoteric configuration whining "But my computer can't play this video!". Better safe than sorry.

    There's just no real reason for them to spend time investing in an OS that has bad netvideo support (no Flash 8+) that roughly 1 in 250 people (see http://www.currybet.net/articles/user_agents/2.php for more info) use.

  6. What does on Climate Changes Shift Springtime in Europe · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mr. Groundhog have to say about all this?

  7. Re:Exactly on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's Slashdot, not the internet.

  8. Notice the source? on Goldfish Smarter Than Dolphins · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    TFA is from ... Al-Jazeera. Need I say more? That's a pretty big *bam* to your credibility right there.

  9. Re:I bought a Rear Projection TV on Are Plasma TVs the Next BetaMax? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you watch TV for 8 hours a day, the lamp only burns out every two years. With what people are saying, at least being able to replace the lamp (i.e. in an LCD) would be a viable option.

  10. Re:Honeycombs Big? on Molecules Spontaneously Form Honycomb · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, how big are these honeycombs?

  11. Re:RTFA or shup up, go away, get help on GPS Map Viewer for PSP Released · · Score: 1

    No need to! Other people will just say it when people post ignorant comments.

  12. Re:Not good on Macrovision Wants Old DRM to Work Forever · · Score: 1

    Um, hiring a lawyer and going to court against them of your own volition?

  13. Re:Free Wifi? How about free Tibet? on Tibet's Mesh · · Score: 1

    Well it's a start.

    I mean come on, what's better, un-freed Tibet, or un-freed Tibet with access to a (possibly) uncensored internet?

  14. Re:who cares? on Apple vs Microsoft Both Copycats · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What would you rather use, the product that came first or the one that's better? (Assuming this is after they both are on the market)

  15. Re:So, an Exploit For a Patch? on Microsoft Bracing for Worm Attack · · Score: 1

    Just checked Windows Update and it's on the list.

    Looks like this article is just anti-Microsoft FUD.

    Come on, we can do better than FUD back can't we?

  16. Colorado on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    Colorado, for some people, is the most important state in the country right now. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/politics/9638818/d etail.html

  17. Re:100 year format on Has Anyone Seen the Moon Pictures? · · Score: 1

    We don't need to worry about this anymore. Just buy a network storage device with a RAID and keep it maintained and copy it to newer media when hard drives are obsolted, etc. You'll be fine.

  18. Unintened consequences on Researchers Make Mount Etna Sing · · Score: 1

    And now, a whole new kind of free-form jazz!

  19. Re:Not quite on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 1

    What about that microwave stuff? Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_power_trans mission

  20. Worst. Typo. Ever. on Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's .cm guys, not .com!

  21. Re:Why oh why? on USB EVDO Modem Without PCMCIA · · Score: 1

    Exactly. You need two devices, because you can only use one device for one thing at one time.

  22. Re:Special software for Canada? on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 1

    Isn't Java integrated into OS X on a pretty low level? (At least to the point of not bing a 'plugin')

  23. Re:Sounds good, but... on Solar Wi-Fi To Bring Net to Developing Countries · · Score: 1

    Solar-powered satellites?

  24. Re:WAAAA???? on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 1

    And then closed can take the innovation, come up with something similar, and use brand loyalty to spin it as theirs and/or not acknowledge the creator of the technology.

  25. Re:Wiki works, but it shouldn't be the only 'Sourc on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 1

    They were by the elephants, wheren't they?
