  1. Re:Preposterous on Games Workshop Forbids Warhammer Fan Films · · Score: 5, Funny

    Careful - Orcs with a 'k' almost certainly violates their IP.

  2. Trackball all the way for me on Review of Ergonomic Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 · · Score: 1

    I get pains in the tendons in the back of my hand when using a regular mouse so I use a trackball: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/tr ackballs/devices/189&cl=gb,en

    It has the benefit of always being in the same place, just off to the right of my short (no num pad) keyboard. The short keyboard has stopped my shoulder blade clicking every time I reached out and over the num pad to get to the track ball. As a 10 finger typist I'm pretty handy with the numbers along the top of a keyboard but I've got a USB num pad for longer data entry type jobs. Been using this setup for three pain free years.

  3. Re:Why go with Dell? on Dell Refuses to Sell Ubuntu to Business · · Score: 1
    From TFS:

    Wanting to support Dell in their decision to sell computers with Ubuntu installed, I decided to order one. That is Ubunbtu installed out-of-the-box thinking.
  4. Re:Guesses on the next Distro to be Assimilated on Linspire Signs Patent Pact With MS · · Score: 1

    Gentoo would be but it takes too long to compile. (Disclaimer: I both like and use Gentoo)

  5. If elephants never forget... on Forgetting May be Part of the Remembering Process · · Score: 1

    ...how do they remember?

  6. Re:Can you feel the love? on Novell Worries About GPL v3 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Evolution works people. Sit back and grab a coffee. Generally I sit back and grab a coffee when Evolution loses connection to the backend exchange storage process for the third time in half an hour...
  7. Re:Vista... on A Windows-Based Packaging Mechanism · · Score: 1

    Not used Vista's new security but Ububtu's Add/Remove requires a sudo password - isn't this similar to Vista's 'new' security model?

  8. Re:Dreamcast.....but then 360 on What is the Best Console Controller of All Time? · · Score: 1

    Finally people who also see the light! I've always been a big fan of the Dreamcast remote, everything in the right place, comfortable for long sessions and controls that worked with every style of game I played on it.

  9. Re:I'm confused... on 40M Vista Licenses in 100 Days · · Score: 1

    You must be new here...
