    Why does making a music video still cost that much? If you're a new band, what about getting a film school student to help you make a video. High def camcorders are only around $1000 now. (Yes, I realize we're not talking pro stuff here. But it should be good enough for Youtube.) Get popular online and then the people with the money will come find you.

  8. Microsoft Interview on New Electron Microscope Shows Atoms in Color · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a Microsoft interview question: Why are man hole covers round? What color are atoms?

  9. Not gonna do it on Gates Explains Microsoft's Need for Yahoo · · Score: 1

    One of the richest companies in the world can't build their own system to compete with Google. And they think buying one of Google's competitors (whom Google is beating) is going to help?

    "trace amounts of the gas methane" != "First Organic Molecules Found"

  16. misuse of quotes on Internet "Creates Pedophiles" According to "Expert" · · Score: 1

  25. 2.0 on Interview with Sebastian Kuegler, KDE Developer · · Score: 1

    I remember when I first started playing with Linux. I wanted to use KDE 2. So I had to download it and install it myself. This was when you installed Linux and got a command prompt. Of course, this was after I defragged my Windows 3.1 pagefile and used FIPS to partition the drive. I was proud of myself that I got it to work.
