  1. Re:Craigslist ? on Where to Advertise for Open Source Job Openings? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i'd agree myspace gets a lot of traffic, but my guess is about 60% of it is girls in their early teens, and about 30% is goths.
    probably not a very good place to advertise employment at all, let alone this particular job.

  2. how does it work? on Smithsonian Removes EV1 Exhibit · · Score: 1

    just curious, how do these electric cars generally work? do they use the same kind of motor as those little electric motors we used to make in physics classes? the ones with copper coils and solenoids and stuff? is it just like a bigger, improved version of that?

  3. whatever floats your boat... or glider-type-thingy on Project OpenSky Takes Off · · Score: 0, Troll

    seems like an awful lot of time, effort, and money being wasted on something so insignificant and probably useless...
    i say good on 'em!
    Good luck guys.

    i know what you mean, but you should have expected it in "Senators, ISPs, and network neutrality".

    people pay a monthly fee for leasing an IP address.

    and a phone number (or IP address) is required for an outgoing connection as well as incoming. you don't only have a phone number so people can call you. you need it to be able to call them. same goes for the net.

    you don't pay for receiving a standard call, and you shouldnt pay for receiving internet.
    you pay your ISP for the service they provide to you, the other end pays their ISP for the service they provide to them. if we had to pay for both, the ISPs would be getting double the money for providing exactly the same service.

    if they don't like it how it is, they shouldn't have decided it would be like that. its too late to change now. if they try, their customers will go elsewhere. but, when all the ISPs follow suit, they will have won.

    same service, double the price.

  6. AT&T CEO G.R.E.E.D.Y. on Senators, ISPs, and Network Neutrality · · Score: 1
    Ed Whitacre claims only half of people's internet access is being paid for:
    "I think the content providers should be paying for the use of the network--obviously not the piece from the customer to the network, which has already been paid for by the customer in Internet access fees--but for accessing the so-called Internet cloud."
    let's draw a comparison to phone (voice) calls: with a standard phone call, the caller pays the call costs. you don't pay when someone calls you.
    this is simply ridiculous.
    if Mr Whitacre is successful, the Internet will suffer immensely. AT&T and other ISPs are only hurting themselves here.

    if the display on my monitor is not in the "real world", where is it?

  8. Re:The real Classics on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    yeah i had a few of those watches... but as it would obviously be difficult to exactly replicate a game onto a watch, they were never as good. still quite amusing though.

    i had frogger, super mario, and zelda.

  9. Re:Already been done for the XBOX? on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    very true.
    the 3D version was released in 02 for XBOX, gamecube and windows. it was not 'remastered'.

  10. Re:in it's era... on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    space ace was not exactly the "second one"...

    when the game was released on some consoles, a semi-sequel was released called "Escape from singe's castle". Later home console versions, such as for the NES, were also not exactly sequels, but more like adaptations.
    the real sequel was released in 1991, "Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp".

    "space ace" was released the year after DL, and it was animated by the same team (headed by ex-Disney Don Bluth), but was not actually a sequel.

    in that case you would have effectively screwed them over.
