  1. language on Hydraulic Analog Computer From 1949 · · Score: 1

    That's pretty slick considering the times ... Hydro-functional programming :)

  2. Gov't logic reguarding the risk of legalization... on Open Government Brainstorm Defies Wisdom of Crowds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Think of all the DA's, DEA employees, prison workers that would be out of a job"

  3. Auto Insurance on Tetris Turns 25 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did Tetris' auto insurance rates go down?

  4. its all about the data on Microsoft Bing Search Launches Early Preview · · Score: 3, Insightful

    no interface means anything without the index and data to back it.

  5. old news on Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    Same article with same title a while back. You should also add "Quicktime Quietly Installs Firefox Extension" or "Adobe Quietly Installs Firefox Extension"

  6. this is where ... on Should Enterprise IT Give Back To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    This is where the whole "money" thing came in. This reminds me of the south park episode where the kids are talking to first year college students.

  7. Re:Why a Zune on Zune HD Unveiled, Set For Fall Release · · Score: 0, Redundant

    why is the iphone/touch not on basic firmware?

  8. Re:Not running Linux? on Netbook-Run Dice Robot Can Rack Up 1.3 Million Rolls a Day · · Score: 1

    You should be more concerned that the laptop is held up with a bunjee cord

  9. I don't buy it on Sony CEO Proposes "Guardrails For the Internet" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Guard Rails" sounds like "Insurance for Commerce". Culture is much more than what you can sell.

  10. Re:RIP on Microsoft's Bulk Deal With New Zealand Collapses · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What if you have an unattended install, how hard is windows to install then?

  11. Re:Awesome on Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User · · Score: 1

    It's not a matter of not knowing how to install Linux. Its not wanting to have to mess with Cedega or Wine to run my games. Maybe if something rivals OneNote and Outlook I'd switch :)

  12. Re:I realized something, when I installed Gentoo: on Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User · · Score: 1

    powershell tbh

  13. Re:Microsoft, in turn, should warn governments on ODF Alliance Warns Governments About Office 2007 ODF Support · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Perhaps, but the format is in plain xml for Office2007; xlsx, docx, etc are merely zip files containing xml documents which could be transformed to other formats. As long as you have the schemas for the right and left the program to make the document becomes irrelevant.

  14. Re:PDF fact sheet? on ODF Alliance Warns Governments About Office 2007 ODF Support · · Score: 1

    Rather comply with an ODF schema. Format is a bit shortsighted.

  15. Re:Suppy & Demand on Craigslist Fights Back, Sues SC Atty General · · Score: 1

    It would never come to that. Craigslist's karma is too high.

  16. i think a better idea on Australia, UK To Test Vehicle Speed-Limiting Devices · · Score: 1

    is too have entry/exit zones using rfid tagging system. When a vehicle enters this zone, governance is applied, when exiting governance is released. The added benefit to this is a car without the tagging can be weeded out and authorities alerted (like any toll system now). And it would be cheaper to make and implement.

  17. well, on Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn" · · Score: 1

    I have always been proud of my penis, scan away! But they should have fluffers prior to scanning so i look more manly in the xray.

  18. Not a typical configuration on Microsoft Downplays IIS Bug Threat · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is really not a typically configuration for an outward facing site. Acting like this is some great find and "game over" scenario is a little far fetched. "Downplay" is flamebait in this context. But, it does make a good m$ bashing opportunity!

  19. Pretty soon ... on Google Tricycles To Map Footpaths For Street View · · Score: 5, Funny

    Soon there will be "Google Stuff in Your House" where a half dozen guys dressed head to toe in black with head mounted cameras will rifle through your belongings, cabinets, and drawers. So when you loose your cars keys, just Google it!

  20. a good feature would be ... on Skype Billing Gone Haywire For Some Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just as papal can give you a front number to hide your credit card, they should enact the ability to make that number approve payments on a time frame basis or time frame + payee basis.

  21. reminds me of ... on Astronauts Begin Final Spacewalk To Repair Hubble · · Score: 1

    Doing my final upgrade on my system with AGP. You just know this is it :(

  22. reminds me of ... on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1

    "The files are IN the computer" --Zoolander

  23. Re:Playing Catch-up on How Google's High Speed Book Scanner De-Warps Pages · · Score: 5, Insightful

    but to be honest this is at least worthy patent

  24. at least ... on Draft Stem Cell Guidelines Threaten Research · · Score: 3, Funny

    At least the "I support stem cell research" sound byte sounded good!

  25. If you are right by the law... on ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA · · Score: 1

    If you are right by the law, what can they really do besides putting fear in you?
