  1. Re:sure, that's what they want us to think. on China Heralds Year of the Fluorescent Green Pig · · Score: 1

    hrrrrmmmmmm, did you just call me Kremit? Today's magic number is.....JOINT!

  2. Re:Fiji on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    Step 1) Incorporate "Windows Genuine Advantage" into Vista
    Step 2) ?????
    Step 3) Profit!!

  3. Re:wireless LAN broadband on Could YouTube Be the Killer-App for Apple's iTV? · · Score: 1

    Wow, two posts in and this guy's opinion has been owned.

  4. Re:Welcome Back Ma Bell on AT&T Offering Merger Concessions · · Score: 1

    https://www.freepress.net/news/19487

    In wake of their recent lobbying here in Michigan to get a cheap entrance into video and cable services, your idea seems downright logical. I mean, what's good for the goose, right?

    Not mentioned in the linked article is the fact that they also want the regulations removed because it will allow them to pick and choose the areas in a community that they'd like to serve, rather than having to server the entire community, rural and otherwise.

  5. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Firefox Creator No Longer Trusts Google · · Score: 1

    (gmail comes up before AOL mail,) Well, if AOL let Google index tens of millions of e-mails a day, they'd likely get a higher rating than gmail.

  6. Wow. Deja Vu. on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    This sounds like something I've done so many times. When put on the spot, and not in a position of importance at , I've pulled crap out of my ass that sounded logical, and well thought out at the moment. Of course, if anyone did any real research, they'd realize the statement(s) made had no real merit at all. The fact that this happened with a sony rep just adds to the /. appeal, because it's been at least 2 hours without a post praising or degrading one of the big three.

  7. Re:that's not a better analogy on Judge Rules Against Deep-Linking of Content · · Score: 1

    Your analogy, while almost true, misses one crucial point. Magazines get paid for printing ads, whereas on the web, people have to actually look at them. If I point out the interview in this month's Playboy, and my friend flips directly to that page, Playboy loses nothing in the way of profits.

  8. Re:Well. on In Defense of the Fanboy · · Score: 1

    /me steps off soapbox and places you firmly on it.

    Read it again, I think I went just barely over your head.

  9. Well. on In Defense of the Fanboy · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd imagine that the /. fanboi's are going to tear TFA apart.

    Of course, I haven't read it, so I could be wrong.

  10. Re:What's an XNA? on Microsoft Says PS3 Linux Not 'Competitive' To XNA · · Score: 2, Informative
  11. Re:Ridiculous, just ridiculous on Is Internet Addiction a Medical Condition? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It may not be a all-out medical condition, but Vasocongestion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_balls certainly is. That's why I'm on the net constantly looking for ways to prevent it from happening to me.

  12. Re:Too bad on Firefox 3 In Alpha · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I understand your gripe, let me introduce you to Firefox 2.0. It was just released, and likely going to be around for a long enough time to outlast your computer with the P200 chip w/MMX technology that still has windows 98 installed.

  13. My elementary teacher was right.. on Verizon Can't Do Math · · Score: 1

    People DO actually need to know how to do math in their everyday jobs!

  14. Three steps program. on BitTorrent, Inc. Acquires uTorrent · · Score: 1

    Options > Preferences > Uncheck the first box.

  15. Re:oddly beautiful on Solar Probe Films Plasma Loops, Sunspots in Action · · Score: 1

    OMG, I've seen that in anime before. That means...they must KNOW THE FUTURE!! The world will soon end in a craze of technoviolence and mutant tentacles! Repent! Repent! Or was that the one that ended with bunny-girl necking with the twin psychic sisters. I don't quite remember..

  16. Re:Finally take the $1 bill on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    Mod Parent up, because the $1 bill is soon to be dead, and the sooner people realize and embrace this, the better we'll all be. Except when we go to strip clubs, because they get PISSED when you drop a coin in the G-String. Oh, them crazy Canadian Girls!

  17. Now if only.. on Takin' Care of Business and Working Paid Overtime · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If only we could get the *Mart(s) of the world to stop firing people for having 2 minutes overtime. Just saw it happen this week. Unsafe equipment, ignorant bosses, and corporate mandates aside, I think it's quite silly for someone to lose their job for trying to stay and make sure it's done right. Should get even more interesting, with corporate instituting a uniform and taking over scheduling soon(at least in my store, in Michigan. A few thousand miles from Home Office).

  18. Re:Top MMOGS of teh future on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I don't have time to get into a detailed post about it, but there's a game in testing atm called The Chronicles of Spellborn ( http://www.tcos.com/ ). It's an "MMORPG", built using the Unreal engine, so things like keeping players in your sights during PvP is a necessity. I'm not one for testing, so am waiting for gold before I give it a shot. At the very least, it'll be something "new". I'd also comment about how FFXII plays similar to an MMO, but that'd start a whole 'nother tangent that just wouldn't bode well.

  19. Re:show of hands on Scientists Find New Painkiller From Saliva · · Score: 1

    Nod, I read the title of the article, and felt the presence of a female in the room. BTW, saliva is a lot easier to grown than salvia, that's for damn sure.

  20. Re:I'm highlyl skeptical on Bar Performer Arrested For Copyright Violations · · Score: 1

    In this case, however, artist and owner are one and the same.

  21. Re:Troubling Question on Research Supports "Snowball Earth" Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    Read TFA, noobs. Hell, just read the summary: "snowballearth.org suggests the meltdown could have occurred in as little as 2,000 years." Notice that period? There was no "ago" at the end of that sentance.

  22. Look Houston! on NASA's Rollercoaster For Moon Rocket Escape · · Score: 1

    Look Houston, no hands!! In all seriousness, though, astronauts are already complaining about the $350 fee for the picture that is taken on the way down the MT.

  23. Re:They should get together with the Debian leader on Jimmy Wales Resigns Chair at Wikipedia · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wikipedia just fixed the article. Turns out, Florence Nibart-Devouard was drunk and decided to post some slanderous material on Wales' personal wikipage.

  24. This is only the beginning. on Canadians Vie for Space Elevator Victory · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Vancouver team will win, I have no doubt. Their best minds will be hard at work trying to design not only the space elevator, but also the world's first orbital growhouse. This will lead to a boom in the Canadian space industry, as the sale of..ahem..alternative tobacco products skyrockets them into superiority.
