  1. How much is fake or exagerated? on Reuters Admits, Pulls Doctored Photos · · Score: 1

    All of it. Whether it's an editorializing news anchor, liberal producer, conservative overweight drug taking hugely popular radio host or a tube speaking senator, there really isn't an unbiased honest media outlet. Well.... except /. err... unless it's a SCO or MS post.

  2. Impact on Fedora Welcomes Women to FOSS · · Score: 1

    The impact of women on FOSS is tangible already. Every 28 days my FC5 installation gets cranky and won't let me log on.... some message appears that says "You don't love me anymore!!!!" and then the screen goes black. On alternate days it let's me logon, but in order to keep it speedy I have to buy it a diamond.

  3. Test on Microsoft Confirms New Music Player · · Score: 1

    Please take this test to ascertain Microsofts chances of success. 1. Microsoft is to HIP as a) TOAST is to LEMONS b) SCO is to PROFITABLE c) HONDA is to MOLD d) ALL THE ABOVE

  4. Crying uncontrollably!!! on 'Roll Your Own News' DVDs Now Shipping · · Score: 2, Funny

    How could they DO this? HOW COULD THEY DO THIS? I can't beleive it. I just found out! Commodore is no longer making the 64!!!!!!!! No it's true, I just saw it on the news.....

  7. Re:Kids' cellphones belong to the parents, no? on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    I'm the dumbass? It was a statement about his LOGIC with exageration to prove the point. I see you did well in highschool........

  8. Re:Kids' cellphones belong to the parents, no? on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    No I am not trolling. It is also against the law for kids to surf porn. My reference was to his LOGIC, and just because you do not agree you want to throw a troll label out. I am a high school teacher, and if you think that those are just innocent phones then you are both naive and ill informed.

  9. Re:Kids' cellphones belong to the parents, no? on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the SAME argument apply to a machine gun?

  10. So at last we found the guy... on Patient Revives After 19 Years By Rewiring Brain · · Score: 1

    To use while trying to get that adamantium fusion project going.....

  11. Re:Dollar Power? on Sony Rootkit may Lead to Regulation · · Score: 1

    Because that is something that the market won't dictate by itself. Even if companies decide to compete on price, or DRM they CAN'T compete on an apples to apples level. As an example.... let's say err...... Three Dog Night signs with Sony and err.... uh... Toby Mac signs with Virgin. Theoretically they each have a CD product to compete with.

    The problem is that Toby Mac is a Christian Rap artist, and Three Dog Night is a 70's rock band. To entirely different Genres and they appeal to entirely different markets.

    Okay you say, Sony signs their OWN artistical equivalent to Toby Mac to compete. Some people will like one of the artists and not the other, and a small percentage will like both. Either way, a signed artist is a single product with NO exact equal (unless it's Metallica and *insert your own Metallica wannabe band here*). DRM might be a purchase factor but it is always a negative one in that the artist that I like might release products that use DRM. What choice does the consumer have? If they want that artist then they will by that album.

    Yeah, I know about emule, kazaa etc. I'm assuming that all consumers in this example are interested in only legal purchases. I'm as anti government, tinfoil hat wearing, linux loving, MS bashing, and untanned as the next /.er but let's be realistic here, the government is actually doing something to make OUR lives better. Applaud now.

  12. Finished Installing... on Opera Mini Mobile Browser Officially Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just finished installing Opera Mini on my Tungsten E2, and this is an amazingly fast browser. I've been using Blazer and there is just no comparison in performance.

    The interface is minimalist and not entirely intuitive for a long time Palm user and at best it could be said to be a little errr... unpolished, but it is serviceable.

    You can compare the performance between Opera and Google because they both offer WAP proxying and you can expect Opera's performance to be somewhat faster. Over all it's a sound app, and it works swimmingly on a humble E2 (despite the fact that they claim it isn't supported) so if you have a Lifedrive or Tx the performance should be outstanding.
