  1. Re:Yawn on DoubleClick Goes MIA At FTC Chief's Old Law Firm · · Score: 1

    Weekday discussions are better than weekend? Besides, this way you are not saying "dupe!!!!" :)

  2. Re:Jesus, give it up with the DRM already! on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 1

    Activation, sound right for their software. Why buy damaged or sabotaged software? I am glad I am using Linux for my internet transactions.

  3. Re:What is Best Buy thinking? on Best Buy Hands Out Cease & Desist Letters for Christmas · · Score: 4, Funny

    Did you stay at Holiday Express the night before? :)

  4. Re:Bad name. on Computer Model Points To the Missing Matter · · Score: 1

    How about the Al Gore Cloud instead. It would be more appropriate.

  5. Re:Apples and apples on Linux To Take Over The Low-End PC Market? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, even at the huge company, having to buy new hardware to handle a Vista upgrade vs. using existing hardware with Linux sounds like an enormous cost savings. Linux boxes with KDE is enough like windows XP or earlier to have little learning curve too. The only kicker is a package for coordinating calendars, etc.

  6. Re:Monopoly? on Narrowing the Space Flight Gap · · Score: 1

    Two reasons? 1. It costs a lot of money to do it. 2. Gov. wants to spend the money elsewhere.

  7. Re:I see some sterile nerds in the near future. on Large Tech Companies Moving Beyond the Cubicle · · Score: 1

    I suppose you put the receipts and paperwork into the laptop bag pouches by category. ;)

  8. Re:Probably Justified on Texas Science Director Forced To Resign Over ID Statements · · Score: 1

    If he meant case law, wouldn't he have said case law?

  9. Re:Probably Justified on Texas Science Director Forced To Resign Over ID Statements · · Score: 1

    I beg to differ about ID being illegal in schools by the constitution. It is just not in there. That is a liberal lie, pressed forth for many years now. The constitution says that the government is not allowed to establish an "official church" of the country. I was not meant to stamp out any religion in government.

    And I wouldn't go to Australia for citizenship until they get their reason back and restore law abiding citizens' right to protect themselves with firearms or any other means when thugs or thieves attack.

  10. Re:How very noble of them on Spam Lawsuit's Last Laugh is at Hormel's Expense · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    sm62704 said "(Spam sucks but it's better than.. er, hell I don't know but it has to be better than something.)" Spam is so much better than starving to death! There are many things worse than eating spam, expressly when you can spice up baked spam with cloves.

  11. Re:Only burned his chest, but broke his spine? on Exploding Cell Phone Battery Kills · · Score: 1

    I am sure his walkie talkie was made of something, most likely hard plastic, but don't quote me on that. :)

  12. Re:Space issues on Sony's Flash-Based Notebook Reviewed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I believe that would be Microsoft.

  13. Re:Certain to be considered a security risk... on Football Field-Sized Kite Powers Latest Freighter · · Score: 1

    So put some 5" guns and machine gun positions on it. :)
    I am here to help!

  14. Re:This would be a good thing for Apple on How to Turn Your PC into a Mac · · Score: 1

    I think it would not work because it would still undercut their sales of the higher priced Macs, the lower cost systems would fly off the shelft leaving Apple's own sitting there. Especially if businesses could buy 4 workstations for the price of one true Mac.

  15. Re:write to congress on Why Microsoft's Zune is Still Failing · · Score: 1

    I'm on a Mac, and still saw the sarcasm in your remarks.

  16. Re:So... on Ask MST3k Creator Joel Hodgson · · Score: 1

    Man, your attention span is so short. This is Joel, you are trying to ask questions about MST3K. I hope you aren't Meth'd up.

  17. Re:FreeDesktop.org? on KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why don't you investigate your site and let us know?
    Why ask us and then give that webaddress?
    Too lazy to go there yourself?

  18. Re:What was that?! on The Fastest Processor You Can't Run · · Score: 1

    Ludaquis speed! /I still love that movie!/

  19. Re:When playing games at work is a valid reason on 90% of IT Professionals Don't Want Vista · · Score: 1

    devil said: "You're pointing out two very specific cases where Vista is necessary; not a reason why it is necessary for everybody. As an example, consider your hypothetical company who publishes reviews of games for Vista. There's nothing saying that Vista has to be deployed site-wide. You could have a set of Vista machines and still do everything else on XP."

    Not to mention the rest of the company could be running intel Macs, or AMD or Intel linux boxes.:)

  20. Re:Odd pricing on THG Labs In Depth With AMD Spider · · Score: 1

    The AMD's are less powerfull then the Intel in this race. Okay, no harm done, but why on earth does AMD then price them at the same dollar for performance ratio as intel? Lets say intel charges 100 bucks for 100 performance points, AMD now says, well we can't give you those same 100 performance points, instead we can only give 80, but aren't we nice, we only charge 80 bucks for it. Because they need to make money too?

  21. Re:Deactivating cores on THG Labs In Depth With AMD Spider · · Score: 1

    That is exactly where the defective core is deactivated, where else could that occur and them market it as an X3? Think man!

  22. Re:So it detects by smell... on Genetically Engineered Mouse is Not Scared of Cats · · Score: 1

    Probably worse than the others? Oh, was that rhetorical? :)

  23. Re:So he was the one on Russia Honors the Spy Who Stole the A-Bomb · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Roseenberg the H-bomb secret? The one in story is A-bomb, the first nuclear weapon.

    I agree, and with the book, the video is so much better, no graininess, you just see what is written in your mind. :)
