  1. Evolution? on The Evolution of Gears of War · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, you're telling me it wasn't designed?


    I kid, I kid.

  2. Re:Kasparov vs Putin on Chess Grandmaster Kasparov Versus President Putin · · Score: 1

    Yeah, good luck with that.

  3. Re:Links? on Market Research Company Secretly Installs Spyware · · Score: 1

    Why are you talking about lynx?

  4. Re:Geuring on Did Humans Get Their Big Brains From Neanderthals? · · Score: 1

    But what if it's true? Should it be withheld on the basis of it being (inherently) racist?

    In Sweden where we have laws against "hate speech", such as expressing racist opinions, I wonder what would happen if this turns out to be correct. Would we then not be allowed to discuss it?

  5. Re:427,000 on File Sharing Ruled Legal In Spain · · Score: 1

    They are pirates, so I assume it's in gold doubloons.

  6. Re:Free? on Windows Media Player 11 Released · · Score: 1

    But it's not even a free download. You have to buy a copy of a recent version of Windows first. To the best of my knowledge, that's not free.

  7. Re:Great! The software's next? on Microsoft Owns Up To 360 Defects · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not talking about the codec here. I'm talking about the AVI video container. You know, the one Microsoft developed.

    I can install the codecs my self. And they work just fine. Thumbnails are created, so I know it can read the video files. But it won't play them.

  8. Re:Maybe it wasn't designed for that on Microsoft Owns Up To 360 Defects · · Score: 1

    That's funny, because AVI movie files can be streamed just fine to any other UPnP video media renderer.

    But that doesn't really matter, since Microsoft decided that that wasn't good enough. Instead they use the Media Center PC to decode the video and then stream it via some form of RDP. That's why it makes no sense at all that it doesn't work.

  9. Re:Maybe it wasn't designed for that on Microsoft Owns Up To 360 Defects · · Score: 1

    Seriously. The codec's no problem. They install and play just fine. But it won't stream them to the 360.

  10. Great! The software's next? on Microsoft Owns Up To 360 Defects · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That was the hardware. Now why don't they fix their crappy media center so that it will allow the 360 to play anything other than WMV and MPEG? There's this container format called AVI. Hello, Microsoft? Have you heard of it?

    No, Transcode360 (or any form of transcoding) isn't good enough.

  11. Like XFree86? on Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, does this mean Jörg's cdrtools will go the way of XFree86 4.4+?

    I can see a lot of positive things coming out of this move.

  12. Re:obligatory porn reference... on FairUse4WM Breaks Windows DRM · · Score: 1

    Do you listen to a lot of porn?

  13. Re:How does Voyager avoid crashing into Obstacles on Voyager 1 Passes 100 AU from the Sun · · Score: 4, Funny

    Space is big. Really big.

  14. Re:Would you like to play a game? on Cheyenne Mountain Shutting Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't you mean Global Thermognuclear War?

  15. Re:Reminds me of Anakin on The Multi-Pointer X server · · Score: 1

    Yeah, he got to boink Natalie Portman. Thanks for the reminder, I think I'll be getting my second mouse just about now.

  16. Optimize for performance on Speeding up Firewire File Transfers? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No one's mentioned this?

    Bring up the properties of the firewire disk in "Device Manager". Go to the Policies tab and make sure it's set to "Optimize for performance".

  17. Re:You should have attended your english classes on Nintendo's 'Wii' Just A Marketing Gimmick? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's neither. It's a homophone.

  18. Re:RMS is starting to "get it"? :) on Stallman Selling Autographs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, and if you read the entire article you'll see that he's not opposed to selling software. What good is it to click on the link to the article and then only read half of it?

  19. Re:Seconded on Matrox TripleHead Triples Your Viewing Pleasure · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are no open drivers at all for the Parhelia or the P-series, even though Matrox promised it when the Parhelia was released several years ago.

  20. KPlato on KOffice 1.5 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet that's klingon for something.

    K'Platoh!

  21. Re:Apparently, you don't know much about sweden. on Interview With Leader of Sweden's Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    She has however, since this was discovered, resigned.

    She was a lousy minister of foreign affairs, so we're a lot better off without her.

  22. One of the best? on Fedora Core 5 Review · · Score: 1

    So, if it really is, how come it's so badly tested? Has anyone tried the bundled GNOME Bluetooth apps? The BT Manager, to be specific? No? Well, I could tell. Because it will crash immediately upon startup. Am I really the only one that's using BT in linux?

    It works just fine on my dualbooted Slackware Current (on the same machine, of course).

  23. Re:ATI installer on Linux 2.6.16 released · · Score: 1

    Eh, no. The build will die a horrible death. Try 2.6.15 instead.

  24. So, eh... on Gizmondo Europe To Be Liquidated · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What's Gizmondo? And what's Tiger, for that matter? The blurb and the article neglects to mention that.

  25. Re:Uh? on Einstein Has Left the Building · · Score: 1
