Incorrect Title?

On: The Internet Black Hole That Is North Korea

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to label North Korea as an Internet White Hole, as in a region of space where no information can enter?

These are not the droids you're looking for.

On: Backyard Rocketeers Keep the Solid Fuel Burning

I mean, come on now, what good would it be to use a nonflammable propellant?

It's entirely possible to launch rockets using pressurized water (veterans of Science Olympiad know this from the Bottle Rocket event). Of course, its feasibility to getting into orbit is in great debate...

Re:Sounds Like...

On: Web Censorship on the University Campus?

I have had no problems accessing any sites although there are times when it just runs slow in general. Maybe this is because there are people streaming large media? I'm not sure.

That's not true. Large files can't jam up wireless tubes.

Now if you said you were on your university's ethernet connection... well then we'd have bona fide Three Stooges Syndrome.

Really neato!

What kind of chip does the Wii have, a Dorito?

Re:Supply and demand

On: Low-End PS3 Comes with HDMI, Cheaper in Japan

where do you think all these Japanese PS3s will end up on launch day?

These PS3s for the most part will NOT end up in America. I preordered a Japanese DS Lite over 2 weeks before the Japanese launch date (early March) from an import shop. My order was made roughly February 23rd, and I received my white DS Lite in the third week of April. If it took me that long to receive a DSL after 100s of thousands of units sold, what are the chances that many of the 100k Japanese PS3s will make it to US shore?

Finally a sequel...

The search for more money?

Re:I blame Universal Music

On: MySpace Music Player Hacked

I have no doubt this project was funded, in whole or in part, by Universal Music group to support their BS crusade against MySpace

Any crusade against MySpace is a worthy cause, in my oh-so-pretentious opinion.

Power point skills?

On: Continued Opposition To Laptops in Schools

'the laptop has helped her twelve-year-old son master critical professional skills like how to compile a PowerPoint presentation.'

The only thing I remember learning about PP in high school was how to make every slide have a different animation and add typewriter sounds to every.textbox.ever.
