  1. Re:Curb your impulses! on Web Censorship Proposed For Norway · · Score: 1

    I'm trying to curb my impulses, but my favorite porn site is blocked!

  2. Re:Whose wounds? on eBay Looking for Allies Against Google · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, Ebay is looking for allies, huh? They should Google for them.

  3. This is more interesting... on Software Tracks Blogosphere Mood Swings · · Score: 1

    The article focuses on the moodview, which analyzes the tags that bloggers use. While this may lead to some interesting data manipulation procedures, I think that Mood Teller is more interesting, it actually scans the text, and makes a guess on the mood. Then it compares its guess to the actual data that was gathered using the blogger tags.

  4. Good on New Griefer Punishment - Crucification · · Score: -1, Troll

    This will open some eyes. Even though this game probably will not be the next Great Game, it will hopefully help stop the idea that crucification was special for Christ.

  5. Re:Enough power to run Aero Glass on New Mobile GeForce Go Graphics · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have the NVidia Quadro FX Go1400 in a Dell M70 Laptop, and I can run Windows Vista Beta fine. True, I only have a batter life of about an hour when I'm doing anything graphic-intensive, but it can still run all of the most recent games.

  6. Re:It's just resting! on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Wow. This is really good. You may end up seeing this copy-pasted onto other websites!

  7. Re:A funny quote on No More Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Is anybody else reminded of Charles Duell's quote? He was a patent officer in 1899: "Everything that can be invented has been invented." I have a feeling this quote will go down in the books as well!

  8. Re:Spore video on Spore Is EA's New Ace · · Score: 1

    I saw this video a few months back, and I have been drooling ever since. I rarely get this way about computer games, but I think I might actually legally buy this one!

  9. Alternative link on 17 Year Old Creates Flickr Competitor · · Score: 5, Informative

    At this risk of completely blowing up his server, here is a testing version of his site: http://beta.zooomr.com/

  10. Re:Google map of the Universe on Google Goes to Mars · · Score: 1

    A great 3D map of the universe is Celestia. Its set up similar to Google Earth in that you can fly around and search for different celestial objects. Its pretty cool.

  11. Would it be possible... on eBay in 'Buy It Now' Patent Dispute · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Would it be possible to avoid ths entire dispute by having a button that had a programmed time delay of around 2 seconds? It would essentially be a "Buy it now" button, but it wouldn't be conflicting with other companies!

  12. Re:More appropriate as an extension? on Firefox 2 To Have Anti-Phishing Technology · · Score: 1

    The users most susceptible to phishing are also the ones least likely to seek out and install an extension ("what's that?") to prevent it. But also, the users most susceptible to phishing are also the ones that use internet explorer. People that know enough to use firefox are less likely to be phished. I like the idea of the phishing technology being a preinstalled extension, like the bug reporting one in 1.5

  13. Tinkerers? on Japan to Discourage Sale of Old Electronics · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I know I learned a lot about electronics from taking apart old electronics. I'm sure there are many people out there that did the same. Will this come to an end in Japan?

  14. Kent Brockman says: on Internet Suicide Pacts Surge in Japan · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome our technologically superior yet suicidal Overlords!

  15. They Obviously on Internet Suicide Pacts Surge in Japan · · Score: 2, Funny

    Obviously, All the japanese are infected with Toxoplasma!

  16. Re:Two possible reasons on No Anti-Virus in Vista · · Score: 1

    how the heck did this get an insightful score? wasn't it supposed to be funny?

  17. It looks like their luck... on Feds Asked to Take Action Against Adware Creator · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...is about to turn 180 degrees.

  18. The article is somewhat misleading... on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Just because 75% of people at 2 year colleges lack literacy, doesn't mean that 75% of college students lack literacy. There is quite a difference between two-year colleges, which are usually much less vigorous, and normal colleges.

  19. Re:Explain that computer attacks are not personal on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    Because a computer can do billions of calculations a second, and it takes many many calculations to hack a computer. You are asking something akin to "If a computer can do billions of calculations a second, why can't it compile a program in a billionth of a second?"

  21. Re:No its not a joke on Anti-Spyware Guidelines Get Final Version · · Score: 1

    Spybot S&D finds a lot of things that MS antispyware beta doesn't find, at least on the three computers i've tested. The objects are bona fide spyware programs, too, not just little tracking cookies.

  23. Re:Looks like the Bard screwed that up... on More to the North Star Than Meets the Eye · · Score: 1

    "I am as constant as the Northern Star." Hmm. Wasn't Caesar part of a triumvirate? And now the northern star is a triple star system... Seems to me this guy knew his astronomy!

  24. Re:Cause or correlation? on Colds May Trigger Childhood Cancers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I read the article, it doesn't actually quote one of the scientists as saying 'colds cause childhood cancer.' It seems to me that the media has once again sensationalized this, and mixed up correlation and effect. Next up: When children cry, scrapes appear!

  25. Re:Why the Obsession with Third World Countries? on Laptop Makers Skeptical of $100 Laptop Schedule · · Score: 1

    They'll have laptops now, but will laptops give them access to information? Third world countries don't have much in the way of internet access. There would have to be some offline database installed on all the laptops.
