    Why Linux on the Desktop Isn't Dead

    I laugh at all the Windows users saying that Windows is ready to go "out of the box." I dare you to run a Windows machine out of the box for a day and not get hit with a virus. Just because the nature of viruses has changed over the years, from outright vandalism or unstoppable popups, to code...

    Americans Are Glued To The Couch

    10 hours a week in front of a screen is nothing. Even if you don't contribute to the information economy or serve as a secretary or the like, people do check their friggin' emails and read news. That's an hour at the least, 7 days a week is 7 hours a week. Add a single movie and a single TV show...

    Galaxy GeForce GT 240 Video Card Review @ [H]

    So nVidia decided to make an HTPC card, not a gaming card. Why would someone buy this card over the other cards? 3 reasons: 1) It's short so it fits in smaller cases 2) It uses less power 3) HDMI with audio The short part makes sure you can cram it into a case that can fit on a shelf, not a...

    Stop the x86 Instruction Set War

    Man this guy sounds second-rate... Oh don't get me wrong - what he says is very technically sound and true. But how does he intend for it to happen? That the government will go ahead and tell Intel and AMD to play nice? Intel will go through with this stuff naturally when it needs to in order...

    Piracy Means No Money To Make Movies

    Wait wait wait: You make a movie, and the movie is either good or bad. If bad: You spent $150 million to make the movie and gross $30 million world wide. Your executives skim off $1 million a person from the gross to buy their daughters new cars to replace the ones they crashed, and to...

    Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies

    (arrgh can't edit) I mean, the tech's pretty cool and it's very much worthwhile of being in the military but you absolutely cannot allow this technology to be fit on a robot with any kind of weaponry or anything that can be used as a weapon. In other words, "a transport, an ambulance, a...

    Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies

    Yep, as soon as the robot gets the "Need food ----> need dead bodies ---> kill people ----> eat dead people for food ---(time passes)---> need food" logic loop either by glitch or intelligent design, we have Skynet on our hands.

    Kosher Search Engine Released

    Having been raised Modern Orthodox, all I gotta say is I'm surprised it took them this long. The use of a computer is not forbidden, many Judaica shops in Orthodox neighborhoods carry, for example, electronic versions of religious books on CD's, Hebrew/English word processors...

    Thumbprint Required To Trade Used Games

    People don't get arrested for the hell of it (thank god). You get arrested because, at the very least you were doing something that constituted "probable cause" to the police officer to come and see wtf was going on. Put it this way: if you're driving all over the road and the police pull you...
