  1. Can we handle this? on Universe Closer To Heat Death Than Once Thought · · Score: 0

    So, lets start to close the black holes one by one. I am too young to die!

  2. Nano-car on World's Smallest Hot Rod · · Score: 0

    I hope, it have nano-price as well?

  3. Why not? on US Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret Bible Codes · · Score: 0

    Exept for close analogy with German Forces in WWII I do not see there anything really bad. If US dollars were signed with "In God We Trust", why US weapons cannot contain Bible citations? At least something inspirational for soldiers who must keep their humanity.

  4. Aggresive MS Bot on Microsoft Bots Effectively DDoSing Perl CPAN Testers · · Score: 0

    Yeah, in statistics of my site Microsoft bots are most active visitors. Really, they crawl site hundreds times more often than Googlebot.

  5. Sounds quite dangerous on Airport Access IDs Hacked In Germany · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Wow... I do not want hackers to control a plane when I will be in it... Imagine the situation, when hackers will take control over airport control center.

  6. I like it! on The Norwegian Time Hole · · Score: 1

    Sounds like something copypasted from StarTrek :)

  7. Re:Does anyone beiieve this number? on Only 27% of Organizations Use Encryption · · Score: 1

    I have had remote work in foreign IT company. As one of standard requirements was having encrypted disk with all working materials. Except for this one case, I never encountered any user at any company encrypting anything.

  8. Knock knock Neo! The matrix has you on Man Charges Phone Using a Solar Panel and His Dog · · Score: 1

    Will you sell the space on your back when there will be no free space on animals? Looks like quite old idea, Matrix has better one...

  9. Advertising? on The Worst Products of CES 2010 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Many companies do something absolutely unusable just to be famous because of such lists. What other can be the purpose of so stupid things?

  10. Re:good work on Researchers Take Down a Spam Botnet · · Score: 0

    Wow! I asked myself: "Why I receiving much less SPAM this year than several years ago?" Now I have the answer. Thank you, Good Guys!

  11. Re:paper in your wallet on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 0

    100% security is impossible. Any data you transmit or store on a physical device can be recovered, regardless of encryption.

    Well, you are right. But if you will use strong modern encryption algorithms your data will be recovered only by your grandsons, believe me. Additionally, there are some other methods of information protection, steganography for example. Together with encryption it reduces chances to recover your information almost to zero. Check BDV DataHider or some similar software for example.

  12. Re:I wonder on Firefox Most Vulnerable Browser, Safari Close · · Score: 0

    It is interesting, because IE always considered most vulnerable browser and one of main Firefox advantages considered low level of vulnerability. For me it looks that most popular software always are most vulnerable. Now when Firefox is almost as popular as IE (on my site 34% of visitors uses Firefox and 36% uses IE) Firefox becomes highly vulnerable.

  13. Windows forever on What Embedded Linux Distros Would You Support? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Hey man, move to Windows better!

  14. Not so fast... on $100 PC Pledges Fail To Meet Minimum · · Score: 1

    It can't be immediately. It requires some time for people to understand the project, discuss it one with another and then make a decision.

  15. From Ukraine on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 1

    WoW is not popular here in Ukraine. But we have a lot of problems with other popular on-line and off-line games. Children take out a stuffs from the house and sell them to buy some hours of game in computer club. I know some teenagers who make crime for the same reason - yes, here in my town! May be they have missed their trainings of willpower? Or, may be we must wait for something? Of course, they should take responsibility for their acts...

  16. Hmm... on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The care of social education is shifted on parental shoulders.
    But most of them do not think about it at all.

  17. Some ways... on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    How advertising effect can be measured?

    There are some ways:
    1. Views of ads.
    2. Clicks on ads.
    3. Actions.

    The first one still alive. Even if you do not click on the ads, you may read it and it may have effect of "reminder" or "positive opinion building".

    Second: you will have visitor. Even if your visitor will not do any action, he may click on ads on YOUR site, tell somebody about your site or return later to do any action.

    Third does not require explanations.

    So, what will be most logical scheme for payment?

    Payment = Vp * Vc + Cp * Cc + Ap * Ac

    Vp - price of one viewing of ads (e.g. $0.0001)
    Vc - count of ads viewing.
    Cp - price of one click on ads (e.g. $0.1)
    Cc - count of clicks.
    Ap - price of one action (e.g. $5.0)
    Ac - count of actions from ads.

  18. Some minor things on The Physics of Superman · · Score: 1

    1. The Super-Chicken becomes a usual chicken after life during some time in normal conditions. 2. Children of the Super-Chicken are usual chickens.

  19. It is against the rules! on Plasma Needle to Replace Dentist's Drill · · Score: 1

    This article must be entitled as "Dentist's Drill Killer", I think 8)

  20. I Agree on YouTube Killer (Media Portal w/ Revenue Sharing) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I agree with you. It is just promotional phrase. It is so rare, when one product or service completely replace another one.

  21. Google products vs. Microsoft products on Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google · · Score: 0

    1. Microsoft's employees uses Google instead of MSN for search.
    2. Some engineers from Microsoft moving to Google.
    3. Bill Gates will left Microsoft soon.

    So, may we expect OS from Google in a far future?

  22. Nice on MDN presents 'Manglish - Manga in English' · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Nice site! I like the translation in English... But may I ask them to include Ukrainian translation as well?

  23. Big plans - big resources on Google Moves From Search To Inventor · · Score: 1

    As Google grows and start giant projects (like Google Earth) it requires more and more resources. It is natural if they start building own computers, it will be the base for new projects. I like Google because they are not afraid of global large-scale projects.

  24. Re:Firefox will be like IE in a future... on Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I use it since its first release. Now it loads much longer.

  25. Firefox will be like IE in a future... on Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 Released · · Score: 1

    I like Firefox very much. It works much faster and consumes less resorces then IE. But with every release it becomes more and more heavy, and will reach IE soon.
