  1. Re:Office Space on What Do You Do When Printers Cost Less Than Ink? · · Score: 0, Troll
    Ignoring your actual comment, which was pretty useless -

    Knowledge = Power P= W/t t=Money Money = Work/Knowledge so the less you know the more you make

    I think you need some assistance with your simple algebra.

  2. Re:video style.. on Visualizing RFID · · Score: 1

    Agreed, very well presented, and nice info. I do wonder how much money they spent to get those "results" though. I also approve of the proposed symbol at the end derived from the field shape being used for RFID.

  3. Hat-pullOutRabbit() on Microsoft and MTV to Launch Music Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They're going to have to make this something special to compete with existing online music services. Napster has a subscription service, as well as a "Napster-to-go" scheme whereby users can put music onto compatible mobile devices. This supports WMA DRM seeing as it uses Windows Media Player 10 tech, so it's not like MS can claim exclusive compatibility with that without cutting out the whole Rhapsody range of services. The other main service at the moment is iTunes, which caters for a per-track market, and it the only thing that works with iPods as far as I know. Due to the methods iPods deal with files and DRM, Microsoft won't be able to offer music for those either.

    As for the "Original Hand-Crafted content", won't that simply be MTV videos? iTunes already has "a range of music videos and television shows"

    It seems to me that MS are trying to fill a hole that's already been covered...
