  1. Eh, so what... on Will the FCC Regulate the Net? · · Score: 1

    The intgernet is fairly impregnable in its nature...

    Until we learn to harm/kill over the internet anyway.

  2. Re:digital to analog conversion on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: 1

    But think about how the linguistics field would flourish!

  3. Oooo! on Algorithms Determine Mona Lisa's True Emotions · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this will lead to
    "man woman" becoming a viable commandline tool!

  4. Not totally evil... on No More Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    I always thought it would be nice to have some sort of hard identification on the internet. It could be good for tracking down those "juvenile predators" we hear about and stuff like that.

    A good man has nothing to fear. *shrug*

  5. Re:Wearing sunglasses in your basement? on Next Generation of MP3 Glasses · · Score: 1

    but sometimes you get that annoying glare! =P pfft, who uses an MP3 player while on the computer?

  6. Eeewwww on First Face Transplant · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing these face donors won't have open caskets at their funerals....

  7. Well on Building PCs - How do you Choose Your Components? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't have much advice other than go AMD, its easier to find compatible parts.

  8. Re:Computer myths? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you could do that with Linux. xP

  9. Re:3 or 4 languages? Pfffft! on Another Belated Microsoft Memo · · Score: 1

    HyperText Markup Language Even if it doesn't earn the title, it is still a language... CSS.... not so much.

  10. Daaaaannnngggggggg on Is the Earth in a Vortex of Space-Time? · · Score: 1

    This is awesome.

    If this test succeeds then ALOT of things that are considered throy can finally be taken seriously and we could see many many new advances in physics.

    I mean.. with a fourth dimension nearly proved... what about a fifth dimension? What dimension is time? If time is a dimension then what lies outside of time?

  11. Hmmm.... on 802.11 for Linux Non-Geeks? · · Score: 0

    I'd reccomend Motorola... thats what I use... it does require NDISwrapper, but it uses the standard broadcom driver and sets up in like five minutes.

  12. The difference... on Have Geeks Gone Mainstream? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I figure a geek is osmeone who can understand technology rather than use technology.

    The "mainstream" geek now is someone who collects "gadgets" or buys alienwares highend system and likes to rattle off whats inside but couldn't actually build it himself.
    Perhaps he can install windows or fedora. But he probably can't install gentoo.
    He can build a website with dreamweaver, or frontpage, and he knows HTML, but if you gave him VI he wouldn't really know where to start.

    The difference between a "mainstream geek" and a real geek, is the real geek understands whats behind what he does. If he doesn't know something he can probably figure it out because he's familiar with the inner workings of somethign familiar.

    Mozart vs Brittney Spears is the best analogy I can think of.

  13. Re:AJAX and Comet on Another Belated Microsoft Memo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I encounter the same problem. There is so much out there that it can be frustrating for a web developer.

    Personally I felt that age of simple web pages slipped away when javascript started becoming popular.

    Now to be a web developer its gotten to the point that its difficult to know fewer than 3-4 languages. And its nearly on par with desktop development; but soon will be the day when desktop and internet will be seamless.

  14. Hmm... on Sony, Amazon Detail Rootkit CD Buybacks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I don't really like that they are giving you mp3s. 90% of the reason I buy the actual disc is because i like to have it as a hard copy.

    Yay Amazon
    Nay Sony

  15. Though really... on Geneticists Claim Aging Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    With topics such as euthanasia and questions like "quality of life" today.. I'm wondering who would want to live that long? Unless there was some serious break through in actually staying younger longer rather than living longer.. I'm wondering how long life would actually benefit people.

    Don't take this as an ID arguement.. but it seems like death has more too it than.... death. Heck.. I don't want to be an old feeble man..

    How well can you live at 300 years old?

  16. Such hypocrisy! on Apple iTunes Security Flaw Discovered? · · Score: 0

    I love how defensive the Apple crowd gets when there's one flaw in their beloved software.

    Really though.. thats a major hole. Thats on par with Gmail's last one...

  17. Actually... on Would You Use Ad-Supported Windows? · · Score: 0

    I'd probably use it... that way I don't need to spend 200 bucks just to run some better than average games.

  18. Re:That's Not Cryptic - The French are not alone on MA Governor Wants More New Tech · · Score: 0

    France only stood up to it because they were trading with Iraq under the table.

  23. I can't believe this. on Literature Teeters on the Edge of a 'Gr8 Fall' · · Score: 1, Funny

    They said it totally wrong; everyone knows it is "if(2b || !2B)"

    On a serious note... this is hilarious.

  24. Re:Get our of your hole on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 0

    But you can walk around as KKK in the US. You can't walk around dressed as a Nazi in Europe.

  25. Re:Additional supplement to the hydrogen? on Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power · · Score: 0

    Actually he was a trucker later in his life...
