True, but what I want to know is why another seperate address book?!?!? :-)

Re:Petition?

On: Slashback: Princeton, Terror, Farscape

They'll just use this to screw people out of even more money...

First it'll be "Return of the King" then it'll be "Return of the King: Special Edition" with the scenes back in, then in a few more months it's be "Return of the King: Extended Edition" and a few more months after that "Return of the King SE: Extended Edition"

I'm kinda surprise I'm not hearing more negitive comments about what they're doing with these movies.

Re:Ask VS Order

On: The Riches of Open Source

Linus can ASK the world to do something, but if they don't like the way he's thinking, they won't do it. Linus controls the world as long as the world likes the orders. So in a sense he's just a way to focus the desires of the majority of developers.

Someone tried to explain Canada to me in almost the exact same way...

:-)

"Content" can be downloaded...

On: Nokia 7600 All-in-One Phone

...but does that mean it can "Sync"??

I'm looking into getting my first cell phone, but I want one that I'll be able to sync with my calendar, address book, etc... I don't care if it's not a full PDA - but if it has a calendar or whatnot built in to begin with, I want to be able to sync it.

It seems that all the new phones only sync with the providers servers and there's no direct connection method... :-(

Re:Can someone make this into a lampshade?

On: Cyrillic Projector Code Finally Cracked

As soon as I saw a picture of it, I thought:

"Trasparency sheet, an ink jet printer and a 25W bulb on a wire from Ikea."

O.k... maybe two sheets. :)

I have no idea if it'll work, but it should be fun to try.

Re:Solid state is the way to go.

On: Turing Award Winner On The Future of Storage

But on the bright side, chances of mechanical failure would be greatly reduced, no? :)

Tho' I still don't think that would be enough to justify it.

I'm actually afraid to move to the higher Gig'ed drives, I don't backup enough now and larger drives will just let me put it off even longer.

Having 30 Gig's die would be bad. Having 100 snuffed out could kill me.

Use the Force, Luke.

On: Star Wars Kid & Episode III?

This is lame, but I thought it fitting that the tag at the bottom of the page says "Use the Force, Luke."

Nothing to see here folks, keep moving...

The Desktop is the PIM!

On: Aethera 1.0

I've always thought that the next evolution of the desktop would incorporate all these features.

You click on the clock to get your calendar, your address book and instant messenger are one and the same, etc...

I'm not a coder so I've never really bothered to work out these ideas (what would be the point?) but it seems strange to me that I haven't seen anyone trying something similar.... perhaps I'm not looking in the right places?

Re:Discrimination against competitors?

On: Canada Splits Local Phone, DSL Services

Thank you!

In every topic about Canada I always look to see how quickly there are posts about nasty old socialism up here in Canada.

I don't know why but it always makes me laugh. :-D

What the hell?

On: Quakeworld Physics Captured in Quake3

Mega TF was awesome!

I've yet to find another game type that I enjoyed just as much. Standard TF (or TFC) just feels like it's missing so much....

On: Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening

*SPOILERS*

What messed me up was that I didn't know if the machines destorying Zion were actually happening or if it was another of Neo's dreams/visions of what might happen..

I need to look over a copy of the script, but I also remember being confused as to the failed counter-attack took place "at" Zion or away from it at one of the "important" points they were talking about.

So I was left with a really "huh?" as to if Zion is gone or is about to go...

Re:anyone else think...

On: Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening

So Zion is a Honeypot of sorts....

Socialist...

On: Canadian Census: 20,000 Jedi Worshippers

Alright, who will be the first one to dismiss something in Canada using the phrase:

"but they're socialist."

It's what I look for in any /. post that mentions Canada. :-)

Ex:
*Something*Something*Something, I really like/I could move to/the right idea, but they're socialist.

Would you be able to post a link to your paper?

While I found the artical at Tolkien Online interesting, I did not find it convincing. I'm hoping yours will provide a little more.

Transformer Case NEXT!

On: Oddball PC Cases From Japan

Optimus Prime would be awesome as a case.

Perfect excuse for the case windows and cold-cathode lights inside!

Extra points to the geek who's able to make his transform. (x2 if it can transform on it's own)

Re:Irony

On: RIAA Chats With Song Swappers

I actually tried to find this, I downloaded American Life about 6 times and each one was the actual song.

Trust me, *those* got deleted... I think Madonna cursing into a microphone would have been much better then what I recieved.

There aught to be warning labels on this stuff...

Is this a personal recommendation that is being given?

I always wondered why people didn't do this with Half-Life? I would love to just sit down and watch the game play out just the way it is... you wouldn't have to add much to it. :-)

Federation.

On: Rick Berman: Enterprise May Not Suck Next Year

I don't know the timeline that well, I'm just not *THAT* big of a Trekkie (Trekker?), but what I'd like to see is the start of the Federation... all done up with season long arcs through the episodes.

But that's just me...
