Why the music industry is losing money

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/22/2008

Nothing we haven't heard before, but it's good to see that the investor's perspective is the same as everyone else's. I also found the royalty cost numbers interesting - I hadn't seen those anywhere else. (see comment)

Forget Internal IP Addresses! Use /etc/hosts!

Bahh. If you're running a server you should setup a DNS server. It's dead simple, there are plenty of guides, and it solves the problem for real. (see comment)

The 10 Cheapest Cars Per Mile Per Gallon

Comment in News (10 diggs, 2 replies) - on 08/11/2008

If you're buying a Mini, why are you reading a list about the 10 cheapest cars? Besides, 'fun' is a subjective term that they couldn't rate. (see comment)

And I thought it was bad when Weatherbug started relaying Amber Alerts... ugh. I sure as hell don't want their SMS spam too. (see comment)

Now will they run back through and review all the existing spam profiles that are following 40,000 people? (see comment)

The Forbes.com Digg channel? Are you kidding me?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/10/2008

The whole point of Digg is that it's democratic... they're making it to the front page, so obviously not everyone hates them as much as you do. (see comment)

Apple should compensate iPhone users for their time/money!

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 08/09/2008

I find it odd that you would expect to be compensated for the iPhone, but not for, say, a toaster which you get home and unpack only to find out it's faulty. Get over yourself, you're not *that* important to Apple. They have millions of other users who a … (see comment)

How to Create a Search Feature with PHP and MySQL

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/08/2008

Horrible example. Why do a regex match instead of just escaping the query string with the built-in mysql_real_escape_string function? His HTML was nicely indented, but the PHP for some reason was all left-justified, creating this ugly mass of code. A litt … (see comment)

Get Your Computer Online Using Your iPhone's Data Connection

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/22/2008

@admdrew Yeah, you're just paying out the ass for drips of bandwidth from Verizon. One of the high points here is that you get AT&T's unlimited 3G for what are basically rock-bottom prices. If they were to actually offer this ability, you can bet it would … (see comment)

Surgeons to be given bonuses for saving lives

Comment in News (-8 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/20/2008

Sounds like they're either trying to encourage good surgeons, rather than can crappy surgeons, or just put the good old capitalist system back into the health industry they took it out of... Either way, I don't see it working. (see comment)

Is the iPod touch 2.0 update worth $10

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/16/2008

Yeah, I seriously don't see that happening. Solid state storage in those volumes is still insanely expensive. I doubt Apple would bother with a Touch that large, since it would be prohibitively expensive, which goes against their "everyone should have one … (see comment)

Is the iPod touch 2.0 update worth $10

Comment in News (0 diggs, 1 reply) - on 07/16/2008

They're talking about an iPod, so push data shouldn't be an issue (does the iPod do push over WiFi?). I would imagine the AppStore would be somewhat less exciting without constant net access or location data, but I still use a ton of apps on my iPhone tha … (see comment)
