  1. Re:Open? on Firefox Tab Candy Alpha · · Score: 4, Informative

    I keep tabs open for certain sites. A bunch of sites (forums, etc) that I want to check regularly, and some other things I'll want to have a look at now and then.

  2. Competition pro is not that bad. on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    The competition pro is decent as far as I know. I've seen it survive a rough game of Decathlon. If you know that game, you'll know what I mean.

  3. I don't think so... on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, no. How much lazier can we get? I personally enjoy walking myself, I don't need something to do it for me... And when I stop walking, I want to stand still, not continue moving. Also kind of seems a waste of electricity.

  4. Re:Wtf is xxx? on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd say it's more likely that has to do with the fact that they're people on the internet.

  5. Re:So... on ICANN Likely Finally To Approve .xxx For Porn Sites · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can do that in firefox. Type a site like that in the addressbar. It'll use the google "I'm feeling lucky" thing 9 out of 10 times. The other time it'll show you search results.

  6. Re:Clothes dryer? on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    Not if he hangs them out inside, in the hallway.

  7. Re:Not sure if its worth it on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    I'd assume a few watts at most... Some metering equipment can't be *that* power-hungry.

  8. Re:TV power saving idea! on Why Intel Wants To Network Your Clothes Dryer · · Score: 1

    A better idea is to just not endlessly repeat shit. Repeat it maybe once every few months, and the rest of the time: if you don't have anything new to show, just turn off the fucking transmitter. That should save some energy.

  9. Re:The great fallacy of root passwords on WordPress Exploit Allows Admin Password Reset · · Score: 1

    so what do you do when you want to install an update? :_)

  10. Fail atom chipset on Is Intel Killing 12-Inch Displays On Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    That might be a reason. Most netbooks have the Intel chipset which sucks a lot more power than the NVidia one. That might be a reason to want smaller screens, seeing as that would save *some* power...

  11. Re:Why do noses run? on Ten Things We Still Don't Understand About Humans · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why does your nose run, but your feet smell? That's what *I* have been wondering.

  12. Well, at least the terminology is right... on MI5 Website Breached By Hacker · · Score: 1, Redundant

    People tend to confuse hacking with cracking quite often, thanks to the mass media.

  13. I never bought CDs in the first place on EMI Only Selling CDs To Mega-Chains From Now On · · Score: 1

    Vinyl is where it's at.

  14. Will the madness ever end? on Company Awarded "The Patent For Podcasting" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, is it ever possible to not patent every single fart that you think of?

  15. I will not buy this record on In Europe, Auto Spam Translation Kicks In · · Score: 1

    It is scratched.

  16. People still buy music. on Music Industry Thriving In an Era of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    The music industry needs to realize that people are still willing to buy music if they really like an artist and want to support him/her/them.

  17. old. on Bacterial Computer Solves Hamiltonian Path Problem · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm pretty sure I've seen this elsewhere yesterday.

  18. Re:Yet again on Celebrate Your Next Birthday At the Microsoft Store · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you had said the reverse there might have been a truth in there, rather than a pathatic attempt at a joke.

  19. There's a joke in here... on Feds Seek Input On Cookie Policy For Government Web Sites · · Score: 1

    ...about cookies and the dark side, but it escapes me.

  20. Re:Why? on Free Web Content a "Myth," Claims Barry Diller · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's stealing his neighbour's wifi.

  21. Re:Just an idea... on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 1

    Well, no. the koalas can't do this, because they know this tree has protection against them, so it would be pointless to swim there.

  22. Just an idea... on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...maybe it's still somewhat useful to protect itself from other things, like vicious koalas that are out to destroy it to harvest more eucalyptus.

  23. Yeah, but... on New Type of 3D Game Controller Harnesses MEMS Gyro · · Score: 1

    the question is, will this actually work better than the Wiimote, which randomly decides that you've pointed in the opposite direction for no reason?

  24. Re:So once the big guys are down... on Google, Apple, Microsoft Sued Over File Preview · · Score: 1

    Good, then we'll finally get rid of all the idiots who claim they are cool because they "use uh-ban-too". I pity da fool who cannot compile his own packages.

  25. Re:It works for me on Linux Compatibility With VR Goggles? · · Score: 1

    3D modeling in actual 3D would be pretty awesome and useful. Maybe we should apply it to porn as well.
