Abstract: Disclosed is a method of selectively displaying comments posted by users. The method comprises setting, by a first user, a threshold value for use in determining whether to display comments posted by users of an Internet service; and sending, by the first user, a request for displaying a page of the Internet service. The requested page contains a comment or a title of a comment posted by a second user who is assigned a reputation index. The method further comprises displaying, on a screen associated with the first user, the requested page, wherein the comment or the title of the second user is selectively redacted based on comparison of the reputation index of the second user with the threshold value of the first user.

Abstract: A digital/analog converting driver and a digital/analog converting method, in which the digital/analog converting driver converts digital data having M+N (M and N are integers) bits into an analog voltage and includes a first converting unit, a second converting unit, and an analog voltage outputting unit. The first converting unit converts successive M bits of the digital data into a first voltage. The second converting unit converts successive N bits of the digital data into a second voltage. The analog voltage outputting unit adds the first voltage and the second voltage and outputs the added voltage as the analog voltage. The output range of the first voltage is different from that of the second voltage.
