  1. Re:Windex on What Is the Best Way To Disinfect Your Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Don't use Windex on the screen, it destroys the anti static coating

  2. No intermediaries! on Radiohead May Have Made $6-$10 Million on Name-Your Cost Album · · Score: 1

    Overall revenue may be less but this revenue goes DIRECTLY to them and not intermediaries.

  3. Panasonic Toughbooks. on Replacing a Thinkpad? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check out the Panasonic Toughbook lineup. Our police force uses these and I assure you they are rugged and they work anywhere. There are different types of ruggedness: like the fully one, I know for a fact works even in -50c, rain, etc. (our police force uses these) and then the semi-rugged kind which may be more practical for an office setting. Although, I think they're a bit expensive, if you were planning on getting a Thinkpad anyways, its build quality is up there. Also, Panasonic Toughbooks are not manufactured in China and are made by its parent company Matsushita.

  4. Re:Not really perpetual motion, though. on Perpetual Energy Machine Getting Lots of Attention · · Score: 1

    Perpetual motion has already been invented. Attach this device to a rotary and we have perpetual energy! http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fantigrav itym2b6d7c4kg0.gif

  5. Re:I learned the other day... on Ocarina of Time — Best Game Ever? · · Score: 1

    Yeah but Blizzard has never been known to lead the way for innovative games anyways. They've always refined tried and true formulas and they do a hell of a job of it.

  6. Re:well.. that xprize went fast! on Japanese Mileage Maniacs · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the way they drive isn't considered 'practical' though.

  7. iPhone isn't even a competitor in Asia on Newton's Ghost Haunts Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    The iPhone is nothing special in Asia already... Its like re-introducing old and outdated technology

  8. US Military Inventions on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 1

    US Military Spending/Research/Innovation must be focused towards stealing ideas from video games.

  9. What about like a video chat/conference? on Will Telecommuting Kill a Career? · · Score: 1

    You'd be able to get face time with that. But I suppose actually meeting the person does let you get to know the person a lot better

  10. My friend summed up the market like this. on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 1

    I'd rather buy a PS3 than an iPhone with that money.

  11. Freedom of Expression on White House Forces Censorship of New York Times · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ever notice how new and emerging democracies have freer and more open press while the modern democracies are slowly retracting this fundamental right.

  12. Doesn't these things exist already? on Face Search Engine Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Haven't you guys tried those sites where you upload a picture of your face etc. and it compares you with other celebrity lookalikes etc. ?

  13. Great News! on Criminals Target Tech Students With Job Offers · · Score: 1

    This will reassure CS students that there are jobs lined up for them after they graduate!

  14. The results are a bit skewed for nVidia on GeForce 8800GTX Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    If you compare these results with the 8800GTX/1900XTX benchmarks from other reviewers. Seems the 8800GTX is a bit higher than average as well as 1900XTX lower, but still this card is a beaset

  15. It takes time.. Give it another year or two on IE Sends Cake to Firefox 2 Team · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then the FF team will slowly start disappearing from mysterious causes

  16. Bots? Gold farmers? on Ask the Warhammer Online Team · · Score: 1

    How do you plan to deal with bots and gold farmers?

  17. Re:But isn't that really 4? on This Rare Friday the 13th · · Score: 1

    The Chinese associates the number four with death only because the words four and die/death sound so similar with only a minor tone shift. Its quite amusing listening to learners of Chinese repeatedly saying 'die!'

  18. Installation?!? on Swiss to Use Spyware to Listen to VoIP · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder how they plan to install these things onto the target computers?

  19. You know what else got toasted? on Only a 'Moron' Would Buy YouTube · · Score: 1

    The Benefactor

  20. Re:I'm a Shaw BT user on BitTorrent and End to End Encryption · · Score: 1

    I use Shaw Cable and it is decent but sometimes the connection is incredibly slow. There are heavy BT users out there, there may not be lots but even just a couple will seriously make your connection slow as hell. While I personally think throttling connections is a bad thing, I believe a good way to fix this issue is if these ISP providers started charging their services for the amount of bandwidth used instead of the "up to X GB" per month. This way people that are heavy P2P addicts will definitely would probably stop or least take notice of their incredibly huge bill. This obviously forces the users that tax the network more, to pay more.

  21. Terminator 4 - Terminator 3 Live on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 1

    Judgement Day must be at 2010..

  22. Gmail ! on Spam is Dead · · Score: 1

    If anyone is killing spam its Gmail and not my Hotmail account with still 270 and counting messages..
