  1. Wi-Fi is major pain in the a*** on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 0

    Signal is constatly changing, link quality is going from 60% to zero (even as people move around). Security issues. The only upgrade to Wi-Fi is good old gigabit ethernet period.

  2. Instant giveaway on Pay By Touch Goes Online · · Score: 0

    You leave a pass to your bank account on everything you touch.

  3. Re:Sweet on Writely.com Beta - Google's Answer to Word · · Score: 0

    Not true, you don't left DNA sample, but merely some logs here and there, that is no evidence. I can change few things on the gateway server that passes SMTP protokol to make you look like whatever I want, and make you write whatever I want to. That is unfortute reality of today, only few people realizes those facts fully. Internet traces can be manipulated easily against anyone.

  4. Don't forget, encryption makes you terrorist on Locking Up Linux, Creating a Cryptobook · · Score: 0

    Well mostly, the "issues" are more complicated then one might think:

    Encryption is classified as a munition under the Internation Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

  5. dumb question on SpaceX, Rocketplane Kistler Win NASA Competition · · Score: -1, Troll

    How the f**k is possible for some small f***king private company to reach the f***king space with nearly no f**king money in few f***king month? While big f***king NASA with its astronomical f***king budget is not able to f***king sustain even basic f***king operation of the f***king shuttle?

  7. Re:Bread and games on Linux's iPod Generation Gap · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Some people care about thing they use. Some join the bandwagon free OS train together with the 3rd world ppl. Linux is buried deeeper and deeper by this kind of "marketing" (unfortunatelly). Btw: still laughing at that idea of 100$ hadle-dynamo powered notebook and the poor negro boy using by it with the hand like a Hell Boy :D

  8. Bread and games on Linux's iPod Generation Gap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bring me games to Linux and Vista will go away. Unless you do that I am buying Vista and MSFT.

  10. Re:Generic Brand Name Issue on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 0, Troll

    How can you get 5:Insightfull and speculate on a generic name? Google was trademarked BEFORE it was baked into the language so there can't be any dispute about legitimacy of the trademark. Quite contrary, if that is happening then their trademark is super-golden egg. This is about something else, I think that Google's ever growing lawyer department is just trying to earn their skyhigh wages by doing what lawyers do: sending threatening letters etc.

  11. Re:XNA & Your Rights on Microsoft To Enable User-Created Xbox 360 Games · · Score: 1

    You can have percentage of sales revenue if you opt to sale your game in the xbox marketplace, pretty straightforward business model. I bet M$ scored the goal against Sony on this, and a big one.

  12. use doubles instead of floats on The Trouble With Rounding Floats · · Score: 1

    The newest CPUs/FPUs like Athlon64 work in 64bit precisition (double) already not to mention 128bit registers. And did u guys noticed that on Athlon64 even in 32bit mode the double math is faster then the float math ?
