  1. Let's forget for a moment... on Wii Shortages Costing Nintendo 'A Billion' In Sales · · Score: 1

    That the Wii's have no disk drives in them.

  2. Seriously on Jack Thompson Decides He's In GTA IV · · Score: 1

    They should've called him Tack Johnson. That would've been ideal.

  3. I have to disagree.... on Bulletproof Tool For Golden Age Browsing? · · Score: 1

    How can it possibly getting bigger every day? The people that are getting older are the ones that are already accustomed to the Internet/email/all that stuff, so I can't agree with your reasoning at all that the market you're speaking about is getting bigger every day - if anything it should be getting smaller as we will eventually see 100% of my generation (who grew up with computers) being elderly and knowing exactly what the internet is and how to use it.

    Of course, something new gets invented down the road that is similar in significance to the internet, and you'll have a whole new problem to solve :)

  4. Re:So.... on New Failsafe Graphics Mode For Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    You really have a monitor that doesn't support 800x600? ...wow

  5. So.... on New Failsafe Graphics Mode For Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    It does what Windows has been doing for the last 5 years?

    Glad to see computing is advancing.

  6. Re:BBC is usually wrong about US law on Can Apple + AT&T Shut Down iPhone Unlockers? · · Score: 1

    They are already basically doing this with Visual VoiceMail - You can't get this with an unlocked phone on T-mobile's network, until someone writes some software that acts as a proxy between TMO voicemail and the iphone.

  7. Re:Alternate Carriers on Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans · · Score: 1

    90 days? Try 730.

  8. Seriously editors on Apple Sues Over iGasm Ads · · Score: 1

    Where's the god damned NSFW warning?

  9. 1981 Prediction on 20 Years of Bill Gates Predictions · · Score: 1

    640K of memory should be enough for anybody

    That's about where I lost faith in any Gates predictions

  10. Re:What?! on OS X Vs. Vista — In Spandex · · Score: 1

    I could've told you that after seeing the first page of the article with a bunch of fairies in tights. (If you're reading this and haven't read the article and think I'm joking... I'm not)

  11. Addition to the internet?? on Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth · · Score: 1

    April fools???

  12. So this is how I get my blog to become popular.... on Word 2007 Flaws Are Features, Not Bugs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s24secmaniac&r =36

    Get linked to on slashdot!

    (That is a graph of that blog's traffic)

  13. Now all that they have to do is... on New Gears of War Mode Announced · · Score: 1

    Link together the objective points and require that you own an adjacent one and you have onslaught mode in unreal tournament!

  14. Re:Serenity was good... on Serenity Trounces Star Wars · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it new (It's been out for about 2 years) but it's certainly not as old as star wars (you are right about that).

  15. Even more proof on MS Plans Emergency Update to Fix .ANI Bug · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That publishing security vulnerabilities on the public internet will get the issue resolved faster than simply privately notifying the company responsible for making the fix.

  16. Re:Interesting points on Rethinking the MMOG · · Score: 1

    They also have some of the "hardcore" kind of things that others have grown to recognize, and love/hate it. I'm talking 40-man raids (recently changed to 25-man), which are difficult.

    You completely neglect the fact that the entire endgame is based around these 25-man raids and once you get to the maximum level, there is nothing left to do other than PvP - and even then those players that do 25-man raids have better gear/stats than those that don't.

    I'll admit though, the burning crusade PvP awards are nice, but I'll bet you the farm that the tier 5/6 gear will be better

  17. Re:Excellent on IBM Doubles CPU Cooling With Simple Change · · Score: 1

    Think larger scale where there are server farms which require a ton of cooling - a 2% reduction could potentially be a huge cost savings.

    Sure, you're not going to notice it on your electric bill at home...

  18. Re:Excellent on IBM Doubles CPU Cooling With Simple Change · · Score: 4, Informative

    sure, it does. Less fans = less power consumption.

  19. Re:Price on Will The iPhone Kill The iPod? · · Score: 1

    Hence the poster saying that the notion is "counter intuitive" - by losing buttons we are regressing technologically. Your point only confirms his statement.

  20. Programming C# - Jesse Liberty on C# Book Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    I just paged through programming C# by jesse liberty (o'reily) - It's a great book and there's really only a few things about C# that are different from java, like the yield keyword, operator overloading, and delegates/events, and C++ Style compiler directives.

  21. Sarbanes Oxley on Source Control For Bills In Congress? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah - it's already required by law for public trading companies - it'scalled Sarbanes-Oxley. Maybe you've heard of it?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes-Oxley_Act

  22. Re:Sale has already been completed on Amazon Adjusts Prices After Sales Error · · Score: 1

    Moral or not, that's not what we're arguing here. We're arguing if Amazon has the right to retroactively charge customers for a price both amazon's computers and the customer agreed upon.

  23. Re:I'll do it on Sony Considers Outsourcing Cell Production · · Score: 1

    I have no idea why, but this comment made me laugh.

  24. Re:Do socialist countries just hate big business? on Google News Found Guilty of Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    Can you say 'retarded judge'?

  25. Re:Late to the party? on IBM Launching an Open Desktop Solution · · Score: 1

    I replied under the wrong parent: here are your links.
