  1. Re:Outrageous!!!! on Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair · · Score: 1

    That's not the actual chair. First off, thats a recliner, not an office chair. Second, that driver is much older than 17. Third, if you click on the article the picture's not there. And lastly, The actual "vehicle" used a lawnmower engine, not the engine from the bat mobile

  2. Re:Chinese copies? on Olympic Web Site Features Pirated Content · · Score: 1

    If you actually read the article, he downloaded the swf of their game, and it still pointed to sound files that are used in his version but not in the Olympics version.

  3. Re:A lot of propaganda going on here ... on Portable Nuclear Battery in the Development Stages · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Actually, it's fairly typical to rename things so they don't contain "scary" words. Like how Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) became Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Because people don't like things with the words "Nuclear" or "Reactor" anywhere close to them.

  4. Re:Does it move files correctly? on Apple Fixes 'Misleading' Leopard Firewall Settings · · Score: 1

    Well, actually there is a setting in the pref pane so that if you have two fingers on the trackpad, it will right click. I find it easier to use than physically having two buttons.

  5. Re:Does it move files correctly? on Apple Fixes 'Misleading' Leopard Firewall Settings · · Score: 3, Insightful

    All apple computers now ship with two button mice, and have for a while. Just because it looks like it has only one button, doesn't mean it lacks two button functionally. Also, I cant see why it would be a flaw to have the default action of a drag and drop be a copy instead of a move. I understand that it's a flaw to delete the moved files without checking to see if the move was successful, but really you should be just copying and then manually deleting after confirming that your files moved properly.

  6. Portal the Flash Version on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    I have to say, Portal is one of the best online games out there. It's great for us folks who don't have time to play the real Orange Box.

  7. Re:people actually use the finder? on Data Loss Bug In OS X 10.5 Leopard · · Score: 1

    What do you use instead?

  8. Re:To be honest on New Telescope Array Goes Live For SETI · · Score: 1

    Yes but with 200 billion starts in our galaxy alone, how can we hope to find these life forms? Even if we received a signal, the society that generated it would likely have died out billions of years ago.
