  1. I will see this... on Duchovny Says X-Files Sequel in Works · · Score: 1

    just to find out what really happens to the cigarette smoking man.

    imho, he was one of the coolest characters i have seen on a tv show.

  2. MS isn't going to do so well at this... on Microsoft Releases Malicious Software Removal Tool · · Score: 1

    If they are going to stick to the once a month update schedule.

    People expect thier anti-virus and anti-spyware software to be updated at least weekly, if not daily if there is an outbreak.

    God forbid people start relying on only them for security and system utilities.

  3. Re:~sarcasam~Those Poor backwareds people~sarcasam on India's Cops Meet Technology · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But you see...
    It isn't irrelevant to them. It is their job to know what they are doing, and they don't.
    They are trying to enforce old school rules in a way that doesn't make sense in modern times.

  4. burning to dvd... on TiVo to Go Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have a feeling that the burning to dvd option will be a big thing. Big as in a desired feature and as a big problem with the studios.

    People pay big money for full seasons of thier favorite shows.

    If anyone can just set their tivo, and spend 5 minutes a week burning it to dvd, the studios may take issues with that.

  5. Re:As long as it isn't crippled software wise... on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 1

    I know they haven't in the past.
    I was just thinking it may be a responce to MS releasing cheap crippleware in 3rd world countries.

  6. As long as it isn't crippled software wise... on Think Secret Predicts Sub-$500 Headless Mac · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think i would pick one up if I could run the same software as any other macs can run.

    I would still keep my PC's, but I would love access to FCP and Motion.

  7. Couldn't this be used to prosecute? on Australian Police Given Power To Use Spyware · · Score: 1

    Say someone who wrote a virus or trojan to capture keystrokes.
    Or even spyware for that matter.

    Like wiretapping without a court order?

  8. This is just the trial run... on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    I would consider this a practice run for things to come. Notice that it's only the smaller counties, where totals wouldn't be too large to get big media attention. /me digs tinfoil hat from bottom of closet..

  9. No x-box for you on Halo 2 Retail Date Broken in Midwest · · Score: 1

    I am guessing that Meijer stores will no longer be selling x-box related materials.

  10. Everyone already owns one... on DS Preorders Outsell PS2 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Doesn't suprise me that they outsold the PS2 redesign, since most people in Japan already own an original PS2 with the network add-on.

  11. A bit too late? on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 3, Funny

    "One experiment in this series, "Urban Resolve," began October 12. Set in the year 2015, in JFCOM's description, "it involves a U.S.-led coalition force that must confront and overcome a skilled adversary who is equipped with modern capabilities and is operating in an urban environment." "

    Don't ya think they got this running about a year too late? Might have been helpful in this other thing going on in the meat world.

  12. Re:During the Playoffs on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    If your sitting close enough to the tv, you should be able to easily hide it in your hand.

    And i can see any interuption messing with people.
    Like the whole A-rod, first base interference thing last night.

  13. Re:Servers? on Microsoft To Provide IE Patches for Windows XP Only · · Score: 1

    Thin client
    All our apps run on win2k servers.
    So if the server IE is out of date, so are all our employees.

  14. It's all about the load times... on Sony Adopts Blu-ray Disc PlayStation 3 · · Score: 1

    As long as they can improve load times, that shouldn't be a problem.
    The ps2 was absurd when it came to that and those games about a gig or so. I couldn't imagine waiting 5 minutes between levels.

  15. Re:You guys don't get it on University Bans Wireless Access Points · · Score: 1

    No, you don't get it.
    These AP's are interfering with the university network and other students on the network.

    Don't like it, move. No one is forcing them to live there or attend that school.
    It's not your "right" to mess with other people.

  16. Re:Wtf? on Jet-Powered Wheelchair · · Score: 1

    Why is it that I can picture this guys sincerly using the Eddie line from Christmas Vacation?

    "I gotta be care since the government replaced the metal plate in my head with a plastic one, cuz every time we used to fire up the microwave, i'd piss my pants and forget who i was for a half hour or so"

  17. The Mandrake Corporation nuking a city? on Broken Angels · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damn Open Source zealots!!!!

  18. Obligitory hosting diss... on 3D Printing in Stone, or Copy a Sculpture in Rock · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What? Are they serving the site from the milling machine?

  19. Wouldn't software firewalls do this as well... on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    since they monitor traffic going in and out of the PC.

  20. finally.... on HP Markets Cheap 4-User PCs To African Schools · · Score: 2

    Something on the common desktop that could tax a 2 Ghz PC.
    It always amuses me when people think that a fast computer is going to help them type better.

    These should be standard issue in school labs where office apps are the main focus.

  21. nice prize... on First Doom3 Tourney @ QuakeCon · · Score: 1

    would make a nice down payment on nvidia's new sli video setup

  22. I might as well say it first on A Parent's Guide To Linux Web Filtering · · Score: 5, Funny

    So there are what, 4 people using linux at home that also have intimate enough relationships to actually produce offspring

  23. heavy - light? on SELEX at Fermilab Discovers New Particle · · Score: 0

    That's kinda like a low-carb can of Jolt.

  24. Space heaters.... on Efficient Power Supply Contest · · Score: 1

    I make up for the lost 35% by not running my heat as much.

  25. spreads via bluetooth huh.... on First Mobile Phone Virus Discovered · · Score: 4, Funny

    So I just need to stay 15 feet away from everyone and I should be fine.

    Kinda like a real virus.
