  1. Re:Let's make an Ark B on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    With Jack Bauer of CTU running things, very good.

  2. Re:Let's make an Ark B on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hope it hits LA, we could whip out the RIAA and MPAA in one hit!

  3. Re:Wait for the PPC on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Perhaps this Sunday? It would really make encoding video a lot faster, as well as anything else that needs a lot of horsepower. Like Protools, or Logic, or Digital Performer.

    Wonder what Tiger would be like on a dual core processor......

  4. Why don't we on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 3, Funny
    Port OS X 10.4 to the chip. Then on one core, run OS X, and the other Linux?

    Who wants to waste all that power running virus software? I don't get it.

    Yeah, seriously. Slashdot has lost it. Duplicates rue the day!

  6. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    Well, Apple sold a shit load. There has to be a reason. People like it. Random off a CD is not the same as randomly filling a iShuffle with a hundred plus songs off however many songs are in your library.

  7. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1
    You've missed the point of the Shuffle. It's about listening to your music differently. Like random.

    Go and drink some more MS Kool-Aid.

    You can autofill a regular iPod.

    Create a smart playlist that is limited to the size of your iPod, and set the criteria to

    • Fill with x GB (where x is the size of your iPod)
    • Select by Random.

    There you go. Enjoy!
    That should help you replicate the autofill feature.
  9. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1
    Seriously. I agree. I am a music teacher, and I own like 75% of the Aebersold play-alongs, plus other books that have CDs, and ones that I've done. And it fills maybe half my 15 gig iPod.

    It's the SUV thinking. You have to have the HEMI engine, and the extra horse power, and the 4 wheel drive even though you'll never use them.

  10. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1
    As someone who owns an iPod, I would have to say that I rarely have it half full. And I constantly change out songs to my Library on my Mac. Of course I only have a 15 gig iPod, but it works enough for me.

    I think that is the appeal of the iShuffle. It will randomly fill you with different songs. The iPod does that as well.

  11. Re:I pity the fool who doesn't have an HDTV ... on Battlestar Galactica in HD · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I miss a male Starbuck. They need a wise ass, woman chasing male in the series. Baltar works to a point, but he's so insane......

  12. CmdTaco? on Scientists Weigh Smallest Mass Ever · · Score: -1, Troll

    CmdTaco's weewee? They finally measured it? And weighed it? Wow!

  13. Re:And if you could distribute it airborne... on Vaccine to Prevent Killing Human Beings? · · Score: 1

    Jack Bauer will stop the spread of it!

  14. Re:I'm preordering as soon as they start selling i on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I'm with you. Every version of OS X is better than the last. I just have to wait for a few programs to be Tiger certified (Digital Performer, Protools).

  15. Re:They can't go on like this, can they? on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1
    Actually, here is a better link for cat names.

    right here, from codecomments.com

  16. Re:They can't go on like this, can they? on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 1
    Sabertooth. Lion. There are a bunch. At some point you have to drop the cats though. It's better than LONGHORN though.

    Here are some more possible names.

  17. And they also read.... on BBC Writer Tries PC Repair, Finds Poor Software · · Score: 1

    And they also read Slashdot. Go figure........

  18. I have a TON of Mp3s on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    I listen to a very very small percent of them. Of the 10K+ songs I have, very few get played twice. Do I need access to 1.5 million songs? No

  19. Re:MSDOS... seriously on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1
    Yeah, seriously. If you unplug any computer from the net you could be productive.

    It's the damn IM programs that get me.

  20. Re:Warez on Is Your OS Tough Enough? · · Score: 1
    That seems like an oxymoron. Windows running as a firewall.

    Go spend the $50 and get a little box that does it. Linksys, netgear, etc.

    Um, why would I waste my time even watching the good takes?? And then you tell me the outtakes might be better......

  22. Re:Andromeda? on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1
    Hey, Hercules was a great series.

    Andromeda was good too for a while. The latest season has sucked like Enterprise sucks.....

  23. Re:What about grants? on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1
    No no, impossible lineup would be:

    Farscape (5th season), Stargate (9th season), Firefly (2nd season), BSG (2nd season), Stargate Atlantis (2nd season) and Enterprise bringing up the rear.

    I'd gladly substitute Andromeda for Enterprise if Andromeda can show signs of life......

    Sorry, Enterprise is just too......boring. The characters on these other shows are much more compelling.

  24. Re:A Few Notes: on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1
    Star Trek generally is crap. Voyager was less crap-filled than TNG. Enterprise. Crap. Terrible acting. Lame characters. Yuck.

    Good that they took it off the air.

  25. Re:A Few Notes: on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 0, Troll
    Come on, if there is no cure for baldness but there is hyperdrive, something is wrong.

    TNG sucked. Star Trek is dead. Make the madness stop. No more movies, nothing. Federal laws should be enacted to hold Paramount to a 5 year haitus on the Star Trek crap.
