  1. NoProxy.com = Pro-Privacy on License to Surf · · Score: 1

    Anyone who visits www.NoProxy.com can get access to our free anonymous surfing service that a friend and I put together. Runs on Linux. You do not have to give up your privacy to surf the web -- at least not yet.

  2. clearly DSL is part of this sinister plot on FCC May Force Telcos to Cut Rates for DSL Providers · · Score: 1

    I am sure the upcoming DSL ruling is part of this plot to kill more people. Unfortunately the previous poster apparently did not have time to tell us why.

  3. This Kills Intel -- and AMD on Neural Net Outperfoms Human in Speech Recognition · · Score: 1

    This breakthrough is a complete disaster for Intel -- they have been struggling to find a valid reason for people to upgrade to Pentium IIIs. Witness the absurd marketing attempt to convince people that they need Pentium IIIs and Intel's WebOutfitter service to really enjoy the Internet -- when all it really takes is a computer with a decent graphics card and reasonable Internet connection. Video decompression and game playing are tasks which a Pentium III can legitimately improve -- but only a limited subset of the population cares about those tasks. The real "killer app" was speech recognition -- which until today appeared to require tremendous amounts of processing power. Speech recognition is something virtually everyone could use -- and these two guys have just disproven the assumption that vast processing power is required. Monir
