  1. Re:Thank god he's still around on Jack Thompson Attacks DoD, ESA, GTA With Utah Bill · · Score: 1

    Oh yes. Someone had an animated GIF or Flash video with several stills one after another.

  2. Re:What I want to know is on Second Netbook Wave Begins · · Score: 1

    The Model M is bigger in all dimensions than a Dell Mini 9 (I checked), and I'm sure that holds for the other netbooks.

    Be pretty funny if someone posted pix of that, though.

  3. Re:What? No Foxit? on FSFE Launches Free PDF Readers Campaign · · Score: 1

    Have you done a fresh install of Foxit Reader lately? The 3.01 build? They install toolbars and switch your default search engine by default now, and want to add eBay shortcuts to your desktop.

    I understand times are hard and they need money just like anyone else, but that's Not Acceptable. I wish Sumatra PDF Reader was more polished.

    Do you manipulate your clit mouse with your tongue?

  5. World War II warships on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    My machines are US aircraft carriers, starting with Langley (CV-1). I'm up to Wasp (CV-7) now. I've had two machines that were named Bismarck and Tirpitz after the German battleships, and I think my dad's machine is Prinz Eugen (German cruiser), and there's a Scharnhorst somewhere too (likewise).

  6. Re:Ninnle Ad at Halftime? on NFL's IT Chief Gears Up For His 25th Super Bowl · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not true. It's really going to be a 30-second showing of Last Measure, complete with the "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno!" soundtrack.

  7. Re:Haha -- but didn't Apple release... on Windows 7 To Skip Straight To a Release Candidate · · Score: 0

    Congratulations, you're fucking retarded.

  8. Re:The REAL cost of delaying the switch. on Senate Passes Another Bill To Delay Digital TV Transition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like a good reason for the station owners to kill their analog towers on schedule.

  9. Re:Don't dumb it down. on Sizzling Weather On a Dive-Bombing Planet · · Score: 3, Funny

    5km/sec? I don't understand that. What is that in libraries of congress?

  10. Re:Don't dumb it down. on Sizzling Weather On a Dive-Bombing Planet · · Score: 1

    I'm having a hard time getting this... would someone re-post in terms of ping-pong balls?

  11. Re:The amount of money.... on US House Kills Proposed Delay For Digital TV Transition · · Score: 1

    Bull-fucking-shit. You can have a cheap $5 radio for receiving storm warnings and suchlike. AM and FM aren't going anywhere.

  12. Re:Survey says.... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wrong. The 945 chipset in my work Macbook can handle Aero just fine, and most Atom-based netbooks have a 945 as well.

    The limitation would be the processor, and that's not going to affect Aero so much as it will the entire system.

  13. Re:So why do I want plugins in my complier? on Plug-In Architecture On the Way For GCC · · Score: 5, Funny

    Spell check.

  14. Re:VFAT? on USB Flash Drive Comparison Part 2 — FAT32 Vs. NTFS · · Score: 1

    VFAT is FAT16 with long file names. FAT16 is limited to 2GB partitions and I'm sure the max filesize is much less than that.

    So unless you're sticking with really small USB sticks, that's right out.

  15. Re:What year is this from? on USB Flash Drive Comparison Part 2 — FAT32 Vs. NTFS · · Score: 1

    BECAUSE IT'S THERE!

    Obviously.

  16. Re:incomplete tests on USB Flash Drive Comparison Part 2 — FAT32 Vs. NTFS · · Score: 1

    I've been around a while. Let me tell you, there are many ways to screw up a FAT-formatted volume, most especially the computer powering off in the middle of a write. I've had far fewer problems in that regard with NTFS, probably because NTFS is journaled.

  17. Slashdotted on USB Flash Drive Comparison Part 2 — FAT32 Vs. NTFS · · Score: 1

    Since the article is /.ed and I can't RTFA anyway, a question: I'm about to have a user start backing her files up to a 32GB USB stick. Probably no huge movie files. Should I format the stick as NTFS or exFAT (she's running Vista SP1)?

  18. Re:Apple IIe on AMD Phenom II Overclocked To 6.5GHz · · Score: 1

    See: Zip Chip. One model did in fact go all the way up to 10 MHz, and Apple looked at using one in the Apple //c+, but went with something else instead.

    As of this afternoon, they /do/ make chips that expensive, and more:

    Yeah? Did you get it up to 10 MHz?

    They do have a $950 processor, the Opteron 2384.

  22. Re:Honestly? on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    It's because we're not talking about Windows Vista versus Windows 7.

  23. Re:A reasoned analysis? That's good. on Linus Switches From KDE To Gnome · · Score: 1

    He's been known to stick with at least one ancient bit of software. His text editor of choice is MicroEmacs, which hasn't been updated since 2002.

    And that's not "begs the question" dipwit. It's "raises the question".

  24. Re:Good memories... on Microsoft Lays Off Entire Flight Sim Team · · Score: 1

    I remember that FS5 was crashy and this wasn't really fixed with 5.0a. Then they came out with 5.1 and wanted you to buy it all over again. :-(

    That said, I had good times with Flight Simulator 2 on my Apple //c back when, and 2004 is pretty neat too.

  25. Disappearing tags on UK Judge Grants Extradition Review To Cracker Gary McKinnon · · Score: 1

    Has anyone else noticed that the offbeat story tags have started disappearing after a while, at least on some stories? Makes me think one of the editors is tampering.

    Shouldn't be long until "whitey" and "cracka" disappear from the tags list, then.
