  1. Re:Why I don't use Linux on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    True. Although right now I'm running Windows on my laptop (though that may be soon to change), and my desktop is all screwed up. Damn motherboard. I might set up a dual boot... Good idea, but i mean..... there frankly isn't much of a use for me to use Linux if I've already got Windows.... You know what i mean? It's just when my computer crashes that i wish i used linux. But other than that.... most everything doesn't support linux (unless you're using WINE, which is why i don't use games in the first place). It's like... meh, i'll just use windows, hell with it.

  2. Why I don't use Linux on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    yeah, I use windows. I love Linux, but some games don't work on it except with more tweaking that i can frankly handle. Other than gaming, Linux is pretty good, though.

  3. Re:Ok great... on Surprising Further Evidence for a Wet Mars · · Score: 1

    like say in the polar ice caps or subterranean caverns? but where will they find the subterranean caverns? Dig them up?
  4. Re:Looks like ... on Surprising Further Evidence for a Wet Mars · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll find Jimmy Haffa. ...but "The man on Mars" just doesn't sound as good as "The Man on the Moon...."

    Further, the chemical environment doesn't support prevalent ammonia. It's far too acidic IMHO. No. Ammonia is a base.

    Oh, and what if you got a pressure cooker-type deal, and superheated the water? Would it dissolve the glass faster, or would it have to be so hot that the glass simply melts?
  6. But What about... on Vista's 40 Million License Sales In Context · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...the pirated ones? This is just a measure of copies of Vista sold. Loads of copies have been pirated (I think). Then again, XP was also pirated.

  7. Re: on Hearst's Seattle PI to Test Market E-Paper · · Score: 3, Funny

    Please wait while your ePaper updates over the Sub-Etha-Net.

  8. Re:Under the PATRIOT Act... on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    so much for "i'm not going to invite you to my birthday party." the problem is that if you gave guns to all students (college students that is), what would happen if they all decide to have a drunken frat-party brawl? now that'll end in tears.
