  1. Re:I'm definitely not Apple's target market, but.. on Netflix and iTunes Rentals Aiming At Different Crowds · · Score: 1

    The Red Box just a 5 minute walk away is only $1/day.

  2. Re:I'm sure a Windows Mobile phone is more secure on iPhone Trojan Sign of Things to Come? · · Score: 1

    It is funny because it is true. My iPaq is gathering dust now that I have an iPhone.

  3. Re:So FUD... and a non sequitur on iPhone Trojan Sign of Things to Come? · · Score: 1

    In case it isn't clear to someone why this is fud:
    The fear is hackers may be experimenting and gathering research that will increase the dangers of a more malicious attack in the near future.

    That is a pretty murky statement, much like something a psychic would say.

  4. Re:What rock was she hiding under? on iPhone Trojan Sign of Things to Come? · · Score: 1

    Not I. My iPhone cost $400. The most basic phone in the store cost $150.

  5. Re:Wot no optical drive? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Yes, you can choose speed. Obeying the speed limit sign is still a choice. The speed limit isn't constantly changing to reflect the 85th percentile rule. If the speed limit says 75, you can either drive at or below that or you can drive above that.

  6. Re:Wot no optical drive? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Automatically speeding? Do you actually believe that? Speeding is always a choice. It may not be a good one but it is still a choice.

  7. Re:"Integrated Battery" on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Is too thin for the extra space an ethernet port to fit good enough?

  8. Re:Wot no optical drive? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Many people are still killed in accidents involving speeding.

  9. Re:Wot no optical drive? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Last I checked, many people get killed in accidents that weren't avoided because someone was going over the speed limit.

  10. Re:Laugh on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    Funny. My girlfriend recently bought a car and got a huge discount for getting a white car off the dealer's hands. That was almost the only color they had because all the other colors got sold.

  11. Re:WTF? on Apple Announces MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    If one USB port isn't enough, get a hub or two. That's what hubs are for, after all.

  12. Censorship? Really? on Parents To Block Kids From Joining MySpace · · Score: 1

    Don't you think that is a little strong to be calling a parent's actions to provide a good environment censorship?

    P.S. Don't ask what I think a good environment is. I haven't had kids but I believe it resembles the one I grew up in.

  13. Re:Wrong question. on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    How would copying for my own personal use in my home not be fair use?

  14. Re:Wrong question. on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    Copying for your own personal use is completely legal. I don't know why you think contrary.

  15. Re:Sony obviously.... on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is some really great spin you have there. Tell me, what else besides PSP does the Universal Media Disc work in? I honestly can't think of anything else that uses this so-called "Universal" medium.

  16. Re:Sony obviously.... on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with memory sticks is they cost over double what CF and SD cost and in return you get weaker compatibility.

  17. Re:Sony obviously.... on Sony Starts a Standards War Over Wireless USB · · Score: 1

    Memory sticks are great if you don't mind paying double for the same amount of storage. Go to dealram.com if you don't believe me. A Memory Stick Pro Duo goes for $32 for 2GB while CF and SD go for ~$24 for 4GB.

  18. Re:Design looks tacky - unlike other releases. on KDE 4.0 Is Out · · Score: 1

    I agree. I find it strange that the menu in the second screenshot doesn't match the rest of the bar.

  19. Re:I agree, but... on Hubble Finds Double Einstein Ring · · Score: 1

    Taxation is theft. It is true that it isn't exactly optional but the benefits are enormous. Just look at the advances that came from tax-funded military and scientific projects that make our lives better.

  20. Re:Sounds like like Lunix, OSX on 95 Of Every 100 Windows PCs Miss Security Updates · · Score: 1

    Funny, I use IE, Outlook, Vista, and try to keep the list of updates as close to 0 as possible and I haven't had a virus in over a year. That one virus I had over a year ago on XP had a strong possibility of being a false positive. My history before that is also basically the same.

  21. Re:Joe Bloggs will buy XP... on Vista Shipped On 39% of PCs In 2007 · · Score: 1

    I have a laptop with 1GB of RAM and Vista typically uses only slightly more RAM than XP did.

  22. Take a look at actual production on Mathematician Theorizes a Crystal As Beautiful As A Diamond · · Score: 1

    A quick google reveals gold mines producing >30X more gold per ton mined than good diamond mines produce. Could diamond prices have anything to do with this?

  23. Re:Actually, the diamond cartel PR will love it on Mathematician Theorizes a Crystal As Beautiful As A Diamond · · Score: 1

    It think it would be easy to say one jewel is prettier than another. Diamonds are based on how much light they capture and reflect. A jewel that captures and reflects more light would obviously be prettier.

  24. Re:A writing tool for writers on Goodbye Cruel Word · · Score: 1

    What crappy version did you get? I just opened Word 2007 in about 5 seconds on my 2.4GHz Pentium 4 and it is using 14,096KB of RAM. Next time you want to complain about something, don't lie out your ass.

  25. Re:FUCKING micro$oft games!!!... on Goodbye Cruel Word · · Score: 1

    Writers aren't allowed to have fun but everyone else is?
