  1. Re:I'd complain too on Google Street View Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Seems like keeping a beaver might be dangerous too.

  2. Sometimes less is better on Music Listeners Test 128kbps vs. 256kbps AAC · · Score: 1

    If 256 kbps reveals more of the good music then clearly bad music should be encoded using 128 kbps.

  3. This is why I use IE on Pitting a Mac Plus Against an AMD Dual Core · · Score: 1

    > UI responsiveness is definitely king No matter what I have tried, Firefox always took longer to start and even though I am pro open source I use IE. BTW why do you have to be "motivated" to make MacOS start faster? What about self-motivation?

  4. Re:Which is why I like vi... on Pitting a Mac Plus Against an AMD Dual Core · · Score: 1

    I like the original vi, the editor written by a programmer for programmers. vim is good too but unfortunately it already went through a few rounds of "improvements" and it is getting bloated.

  5. A must buy on Microsoft's Multitouch Coffee Table Display · · Score: 1

    I am so exited. For now I have tilted my computer monitor 45 degrees to approximate the experience.

  6. Pet Rocks on Wii's Longevity, Competition Questioned · · Score: 1

    I wonder if people still keep them?

  7. Balance is zero. on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    First too few colors, now too many bits.

  8. No, no, it is Java on Linux (Car) Crashes At Indy 500 · · Score: 1

    Aggressive garbage collection during the race.

  9. Are Universities Producing Competent Programmers? on Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? · · Score: 1

    I think this is a more appropriate question.

  10. Re:what's a Zune anyway? on A Million Zunes Sold · · Score: 1

    Picture is not enough, you have to smell it.

  11. Soccer anyone? on OLPC Game Jam for an XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    A soccer ball is cheaper and the game is multiplayer and 'mobile'. What about the OLPC you ask. It can be used as one of the goal posts.

  12. Re:I see it on OLPC Game Jam for an XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    Remember Jeff from Coupling? The one obsessed with breasts? Well, Jeff was harmless.

  13. Predictable reaction on Zune Team Getting Amnesty for iPod Use · · Score: 1

    Pissed-off MacBook owners lunch vicious anti Zune attacks.
