  1. It's the end of the (domestic automotive) world... on Near-Future Fords to Feature Windows Automotive · · Score: 0
    ...and we know it... and I feel fine.

    Talk about mixing junk with junk... the domestic automakers have enough problems with the crap cars they make (all the while trumpeting their product under the American flag as MADE IN THE USA)... but now they want to team up with a buggy OS producer.

    Wake me when it's April 2nd!

  2. A solution for climate change. on Giant Ice Shelf Snaps · · Score: 1
    Stop reproducing. When will people realize that 6 Billion+ people are going to give off alot of heat.

    Even the machines know it to be true.

  3. Re:State Department FAQ on Disabling the RFID in the New U.S. Passports · · Score: 1
    The bearer will continue to processed by the port-of-entry officer as if he/she had a passport without a chip.

    "Processing" can include a secondary customs/immigration examination. As long as you play by the rules, the only thing you have to give up is your time.

  4. It's about "time"... on Is the Universe a Hall of Mirrors? · · Score: 1

    ..I've said this for ages... the number of distant stars/galaxies is probably smaller htan we think, rather we are seeing "many reflections" of these entities from various points of time bouncing around inside our "soccer ball".

  5. The only purpose this packaging serves... on Plastic Packages Cause Injuries, Revolt · · Score: 1

    ...is to deter theft. No longer can Johnny Shoplifter open a box and slip it into his jacket... he's get to tear at the bloody thing or put a 1 cubic foot box under his shirt.

  6. I may be showing my age... on Sony Finds Defect In Digital Cameras · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...but I remember a day when "Sony" meant a product of superior quality. It's too bad those fond memories seem distant and are slipping from my mind.

  7. Still 0 Bids. :) on Video of Fedora On PS3 · · Score: 1

    Hey OP, looks like nobody took the bait!

    All you'd have to do it find a giant mirror built by intelligent aliens 1000s of light years away...

    That's even better... let's get a funding proposal put together on this one.

    So I'm afraid your idea obviously won't work.

    Obviously you aren't living in my universe.

  11. Not yet, but working on it. on Google Earth In 4D · · Score: 1

    Don't expect detailed high resolution photography from days gone by...
    They are working on it... by using a unparalleled level of space-telescope technology and the ability to propel the vehicle way beyond the speed of light, the Google-scope will eventually outrace the 1000's of year old visible light from earth, turn tail and start receiving this historic visual information. And before you say "it will take light years to get the information back", two words my friend... "gravity waves".

  12. Re:Seriously? on Justin Long No Longer A Mac · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The PC guy's suit probably cost $150 at a "Suits 'R' Us" type of place... OTOH, the Mac guy is probably wearing $500 worth of "vintage street clothes" from an overpriced sales barn like Urban Outfitters. :)

  14. Re:ITS! on NTP Sues Palm, Alleging Patent Violation · · Score: 1

    I'm saying this is the way I see it... and in my eyes, it's all that counts. :)

  15. Re:ITS! on NTP Sues Palm, Alleging Patent Violation · · Score: 1

    To me " 's " is a possessive... as in John's baseball, and in this case it is an entity.

  16. An open letter to NTP... on NTP Sues Palm, Alleging Patent Violation · · Score: 2, Funny

  17. Hacking the DPRK? on The Internet Black Hole That Is North Korea · · Score: 1

    This story wanted me to post about something that's been floating around in my mind for awhile... Let's assume the DPRK has *some* form of Internet link... I don't beleive they are totally isolated on the net, probably have a decent sized pipe with PRC. Now if one were attempt hacking anything anything within their border... do you *really* think the FBI/CIA/SS or any other agency (or your local law-enforcement/intelligence agencies in your home country) would really give a rat's tail? Heck they might even ask you if you have anything they feel they should know?

  18. The real rason why Google bought YouTube... on YouTube's Plans for a Google-Owned Future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am not a financial analyst or anything of that sort, but it has me wondering if Google bought YouTube for such a high value so as to justify their own market cap and keep it up there. Like real estate, the sale of adjacent home for a high value only serves to reinforce and increase the market value of a dormannt propety. Maybe Google sees another DotCom bust coming and is trying to change the tide.

    Among the objections are concerns about the effect of extensive laptop use on children's health

    I guess the Indian officials saw the Dell Fireball and decided to err on the side of safety.

  22. Now if we only spent money on infrastructure... on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 2, Interesting
