  1. Exactly. on Cursive Writing Is a Fading Skill — Does It Matter? · · Score: 1

    You see, we have cars nowadays too. I can't possibly see why I should have to spend all that time learning how to walk, run, hike/exercise when I can just get in a car and get there instantly.

  2. Not bad. on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Maybe there's a need for this law. There are probably examples cited throughout the legal text of the proposed law.

  3. Re:partnering with AT&T on What Bugs Apple Fans About Apple · · Score: 1

    I really want to know a big long list of why you hate AT&T. I tried to find your e-mail address, but it's not shown publicly. If you could, send me an e-mail and let me know sometime?

    Thanks a bunch :)

  4. oh sure... on White House Tape Recycling Possibly Erased Emails · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because I'm sure those e-mails took up just soooo much space, they *had* to re-use the tapes because they were just bursting with petabytes of data...

  5. First game- on What Was Your First Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    Below the Root. Windham Classics. For the Apple IIGS.

  6. Re:eh? on HD Monitor Causes DRM Issues with Netflix · · Score: 1

    Thank you for breaking that down for me.

    I just always expect DRM to fail. Fail to keep my music/movies/etc. from eventual disaster.

    You might consider a small claims lawsuit against Yahoo to recover your ~$200.

  7. eh? on HD Monitor Causes DRM Issues with Netflix · · Score: 1

    I don't mean to troll or anything, but can someone explain why anybody who understands the concept of DRM would ever even consider having anything to do with it?

  8. Re:No biggie - they're young and will find out... on In The US, Email Is Only For Old People · · Score: 1

    Well, don't leave us hanging! Did you in fact see Larry, and was he 'teh gay'?

  9. Re:Here's my favorite part: on Verizon Wireless Opt-Out Plan For Customer Records · · Score: 1

    So, by this logic I can send Verizon a letter/notice of a $100 per letter-opening fee unless they specifically call me to Opt-Out? And if they don't pay, send them to collections and/or small claims?

  10. Re:Whatever on Microsoft Should Abandon Vista? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Should be sometime in Q1 2025.

    Ah, just in time for the PC port of Halo 3.
    Ah, just in time for Duke Nukem Forever ;)
  11. Re:service pack on Is Apple Doing All It Can to Beat Vista? · · Score: 1

    once you get to any level of _serious_ creative work, Macintosh is the only viable option left with the demise of Irix.
    I don't know what you're talking about.

    I work in a number of fields, including visual effects, motion graphics, graphic design, particle simulations and so on. I run Photoshop, After Effects, RealFlow, Eyeon Fusion, Maya, Matchmover, Stitcher, 3dsmax, I could go on.

    My point is, I run an Apple 30" cinema display, and I find it quite productive running Windows XP. I don't see the macintosh advantage. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with running a macintosh, but I don't understand a statement like "macintosh is the only viable option."

    Tell me what you're talking about so I can finally understand.

  12. People-Ready! on Wii Outsells 360, PS3 Worldwide · · Score: 1
    ... but Microsoft is a People-Ready Bueiness(TM) damnit! That alone will guarantee their success, who needs fun OR games when you got that?!

    ;P

  13. oh psh on Dell Laptops Still Exploding · · Score: 1

    Give me a break, this kinda stuff never ha--!@#$!@ & #####

    [NO CARRIER]

  14. Re:REally? on MS Responds To Vista's Network / Audio Problems · · Score: 1

    I'd test this out on WindowsME, but, I know I won't be able to get it started ;P

  15. Vote. on Music DRM in Critical Condition? · · Score: 1
    For those who would have bought from them anyway, I can only hope that they purchase only the DRM free music tracks, thereby effectively voting with their wallets.

    Vote.

  16. BluRay on How To Turn a Mini Maglite Into a Laser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Think of (all?) the people who now have a good use for their BluRay players. ;P

  17. Re:That's great, but..... on Privacy Winning Search Engine War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it's not easy to opt-out, it won't matter.
    Those who care will figure out how to opt-out. Those who don't care in the first place are probably not the kind of people who read a privacy policy anyhow.
  18. Re:the internet is really great... on Privacy Winning Search Engine War · · Score: 1

    in one case, give users the option to have all of their search records deleted.


    Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
  19. jeez. on A Year In Prison For a 20-Second Film Clip? · · Score: 1

    If that's the case, why can't one of the higher-ups from the Regal Cinema just check the camera, and if indeed there is only a 20 second clip, then just let it go?

    What ever happened to common sense? Must everything be litigated? They have no damages for crying out loud. No damages.

  20. Re:Booh on Web Contracts Can't Be Changed Without Notice · · Score: 1, Funny

    If Bill Gates punctured a tyre, do you think many Linux users would feel sympathy for him?


    They would think "poor guy, he must be tyred." ;P
  21. Clippy. on Dearly Departed — Companies and Products That Didn't Make It · · Score: 2

    Which of them deserved to go?
    Clippy.

    Just took too damn long.

  22. Re:So what they are saying... on Kids Say Email is Dead · · Score: 1

    o adn b4 i 4get, m gna need u 2 come in on s-day 2, m-k? gr888888...

  23. Re:New and improved on Next Generation Zune Coming for Holiday Season · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not interested unless it comes with a free chair to throw when I realize how crippled it is. :D

    Preferably signed by Ballmer himself.

  24. Give me a break. on Sony Sues Rootkit Maker · · Score: 1

    From the second their rootkit copy "protection" was announced, article after article warned of its doom. Gee, what a surprise. I don't see Sony as a victim here even if MediaMax fucked up terribly.

  25. Vexatious Litigant on Music Industry Shaking Down Coffee Shops · · Score: 3, Informative

    It sounds like they don't even check whether any copyright violations occurred, they're just sending bills to any business that may or may not have live music.
    I don't know if this applies to boilerplate letters like this, but it seems like just randomly trying to threaten small business owners like this is probably prohibited. Take a look here and here for information on vexatious litigants.
