  1. Re:I hate this characterization of the West on Robots Entering Daily Life in Japan · · Score: 1

    Survival of the fittest.

  2. Yay... on SCO Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ding dong the witch is dead!

  3. Re: Microsoft Reinvents Bittorrent on Microsoft Reinvents Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    You're doing them a favor each time you don't download something from their site by saving them bandwidth.

  4. Re:Why mess with Mars? on Six Minutes of Terror - Landing Humans on Mars · · Score: 1

    Actually with enough resources, we could terraform both Venus and Mars - by sheilding Venus somehow we can freeze its atmosphere into dry ice, ship it to Mars, and build up enough of an atmosphere to shield harmful rays and trap heat. With the heat provided by the atmosphere the water locked in its caps will melt giving us the ability to start up some sort of oxygen and water cycles provided we add in a few plants of course. WIth this we can start to stabilize Mars, though human activity to keep it up will be needed. Venus, too, will be ripe for colonization right after the sheilding is removed and the rest of its atmosphere is reintroduced. See the wikipedia articles Here and Here for more info on the colonization of our neighbors.

  5. Re:Error... on US Opposes G8 Climate Proposals · · Score: 1

    That's bullshit. I'm still trying to think of a time when the representatives of my government actually represented my views, and I don't think they ever did. They serve themselves, not us. All they care about is whether they get another seat in the House, and not all the people that got them those votes.

  6. Re:pong on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    I'd think Ralph Baer's Tennis(which came before pong on the first ever video game console released to the public) would be there.

  7. Frankly... on Do You Care About Race in Games? · · Score: 1

    ...I just want to play. I could care less what race the characters are as long as I get to play.

  8. Re:Been Done on Building a Programmer's Rosetta Stone · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's been done before in another program called XTRAN too.

  9. Re:GEMA != RIAA on Germany's RIAA Sues Rapidshare - YouTube Next? · · Score: 0

    Well, it's the closest well known organization that can be drawn a line to the organization in question, albeit a squiggly one.

  10. IMO... on Is it Time for Open Office? · · Score: 0

    ...OpenOffice is probably the closest free Office clone I've seen. It still seems to be a little lagging behind in a few features, but I would definately use it as an alternative to Office.

  11. Hmm... on Father of WebSphere Leaves IBM For Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Unless Microsoft has something that Big Blue doesn't besides better offices then I'd probably rather stay with IBM.

  12. Very Simple on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 0

    Use a startup utility to remove all the crap you have when you start up. My XP pro install boots in around 5 seconds just because I don't have anything running but a basic environment when I startup - not even the themes module. Another way to increase your boot time would be to press the delete key after restarting you computer to go into the BIOS options and enabling quick boot to disable some of the less useful stuff that hinders your PC boot time.

  13. My 2 cents on Firefox 2.0 Password Manager Bug Exposes Passwords · · Score: 0

    I never have Firefox nor any browser for that matter keep passwords to information that might comprimise my identity. Unless identity thieves want to play sockpuppet with a forum account I don't think theres anything of interest. If people used common sense and not remember extremely important passwords like the one for your PayPal account you would never hear of this kind of problem being a problem.
