  1. Re:What is the issue? on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 1

    No, you are watching another human perform something. That is what is interesting, and while watching you could think to yourself, how would it feel if I was doing that...? With a machine you can't do that - because a machine does things differently then you.

  2. Re:CDE? on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 1

    Actually yes, in my CS Human Computer Interaction course, along with many other UI approaches that are now being introduced into the mainstream.

  3. Re:250 mph on What Will Life Be Like In 2008? · · Score: 1

    If you're so worried about assholes hitting you than you can buy your own insurance. Don't force me to buy it if i don't want it.

  4. Re:One day? on Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too) · · Score: 1

    For real, I've always hated apple. Over priced and closed systems.

    So it is an acronym then?

  7. Re:The same thing was said about XP on Business 2.0 Says 'Boycott Vista' · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, I use W2K both at work and at home. The only app I that I wanted to run, but couldn't was Adobe Premiere. Can't remember the version, but it insisted on having WinXP installed. In any case, that wasn't enough to persuade me to upgrade.

  8. Re:Hysterical over nothing, data doesn't leave car on Car Owners to be Notified of Blackboxes in Vehicle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I didn't mean 5 years worth of data, but rather that there is a period of 5 years during which car companies can record any kind of data about the car/driver that they want, and they don't have to tell you about it. Although the article suggest only a few seconds (minutes?) before a crash a recorded, this isn't absolutely clear. And since there are no regulations now, there is nothing stopping companies from performing more invasive logging. As other posts mention, a car mechanic could potentially access this data and give it to anyone. Whether this is good or bad can be left up to our imaginations.

  9. whoo hooo!! on Car Owners to be Notified of Blackboxes in Vehicle · · Score: 1

    5 years of collecting any kind of data we want, without telling anyone!

  10. What's the point on New Explosive Detection Tech · · Score: 5, Interesting

    IANAC (I am not a chemist) but this guy seems to make a pretty solid arguement: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interes ting-people/200608/msg00087.html

  11. Re:at what point on Windows Vista and the Future of Hardware · · Score: 1

    Good point, I am still running Windows 2000 on my main home machine. I just have found no need to upgrade + I have so many applications installed that it would probably take me a month to reconfigure my system after upgrading. A second machine I purchased came with XP but that machine is running linux now anyway.

  12. No on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    The end already happened when star trek enterprise was released.

  13. Re:#1 reason Wii will be good for adventure games on Nintendo To Be the Hero of the Adventure Genre? · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstood the parent.

    He is saying:

    "Open the door" - fails
    "Open door" - works


    The system can't tell that the above two are essentially the same command.

  17. Re:Another Get Firefox day coming soon... on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 1

    I don't know either -- but i think it has something to do with leaving it running for a long time. I have 3 tabs open, and it's using 124 MB of memory. But this same instance of FF has been running for at least 3 days straight. (I usually don't turn off my computer at work).

  18. Re:It's unfair on Browser Comparison - Firefox 2 b1, IE7 b3, Opera 9 · · Score: 1

    Opera 9 passes the Acid2 test - that means firefox is not tied for the lead.

    I wish i had mod points. well said.

  20. Re:Q: "When Will Games Disturb Us? " on When Will Games Disturb Us? · · Score: 1

    I always thought Carmeggedon 2 should have been disturbing, but i found it funny instead. I did find Quarantine disturbing though.

  21. Re:I paid $400 for this? on August 2nd Release For Street Fighter II · · Score: 0

    How is the parent a troll? Some people have no sense of humour. While it is nice that SFII (and some other old games) are coming out for the 360 and other systems - who cares? We bought them / played and them already. They should be free this time around.

    yup.. i think i still have it. Best $4 i ever spent.

  25. Re:False analogies = flame bait on Why Google in China Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    i would want to know if child porn was censored. if something exists then we shouldn't pretend it doesn't. as for your second point, most likely the user will be the cat.
