  1. Re:Why? on Thin Mini-ITX Platform Enables DIY iMacs · · Score: 1

    Should you use the disk drive there is a good chance you will not get the disk back.

  2. Re:Why? on US Missile Defense Staff Told To Stop Watching Porn · · Score: 1

    What else should missile defense staff do to pass time?

    Windows ate style UI.

    On the contrary, should he get a large settlement using the same password may be profitable.

    Linux is bringing the desktop back! MATE, the savior of the desktop.

  8. Re:What does it tell you? on Valve Shares Performance Numbers On Port of Left4Dead · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does the openGL driver/port have the same graphic detail as the directX version?

  9. Re:I blame on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 1

    CDs music sounds like shit! All recorded music should have DVD or blue ray recorded sound quality by now, in my opinion.

  10. Re:Wait till they factor in Autotune on Study Finds New Pop Music Does All Sound the Same · · Score: 2

    That all could be true, or big label song writers are just getting lazier.

    Not sure how we got on Total Recall, but I'll take the version with Sharon Stone.

  11. Re:7.7 ? on Google Warned Samsung Galaxy Tab Was "Too Similar" · · Score: 1

    So the article can't quote anybody as saying Samsung was warned, or google employs somebody named Google?

  12. 7.7 ? on Google Warned Samsung Galaxy Tab Was "Too Similar" · · Score: 1

    I thought the latest proceedings were regarding the tab 7.7 so would this be relevant in that case? Or are there still suits pending on the 10" tab? I guess I can't keep up any more.

  13. Re:IPS displays are slow on Budget 27" IPS Displays From Korea Are For Real · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These monitors (according TTFA) have no image processor and therefor have a fast response and are good for gaming.

  14. Re:Meh on World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Launches On September 25 · · Score: 1

    I fully agree on everything. As a long time player my exact response was "Meh". I have a love hate relationship with Steam sales.

  15. Re:help on World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Launches On September 25 · · Score: 1

    Probably only take hours to hit 90 even for the non-hardcore, so you can most likely hold it.

  16. Re:crash faster on Windows 8 Graphics: Microsoft Has Hardware-Accelerated Everything · · Score: 1

    Sure you haven't seen a crash since XP, was that when you began your consultant position?

  17. Re:only applied to desktop with a mouse and keyboa on Gartner Analyst Retracts "Windows 8 Is Bad" Claim · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 will be the next "XP" that we will be using 15 years down the road...

    What else would be the motivation for the changes/retractions?

  19. Re:Once the market matures on Microsoft Lays Out Money-Making Options For Windows Store Developers · · Score: 1

    I fired up windows 8 preview to try to install the office 2013 preview and it is just as terrible as I remember as far as trying to navigate with a mouse. I have yet to try it with a touch screen, i'd be curious to know if the experience is any better, but I usually end up searching by text for what i'm looking for on the metro screen or brining up the run command with the winkey+r and running commands I can remember which not conducive of a new GUI. Also, office 2013 preview can not be installed on windows 8 preview if anybody was curious.

  20. Re:Team Fortress 2 on Microsoft Taking Heat For Five-Figure Xbox 360 'Patch Fee' · · Score: 1

    I prefer the patched version. On a semi-related note, I bet my Wii has crashed more times (mostly playing legos games with son) than my PC has since the release of XP.

  21. Re:delays ... delays ... delays... nothing but del on Sale of IPv4 Addresses Hindering IPv6 Adoption · · Score: 1

    Along with devices, ISP support and the knowledge of setting up IPv6 tunnels contribute to delays. Doesn't Windows 7 and even Vista prefer IPv6 over IPv4?

  22. Re:Absurd Patent Abuse on Apple Wins Mobile Patent On Displaying Lists, Documents · · Score: 1

    The USPTO disagrees.

  23. Re:Record-setting? on Apple Wins Mobile Patent On Displaying Lists, Documents · · Score: 1

    Close tie with a patent on overall rectangular shape. Or the slide to unlock as of recently was not bad, surely Apple won't be out done in this regard.

  24. Re:thickness on Sony's Thermal Sheet Good As Paste For CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    Maybe better than paste for manufacturing in situations where excessive amounts of paste is applied and acts as an insulator. Builders would probably want to apply the correct amount of paste.

    Only reason I have an windows box is for games. Goodbye MS!.
