    So, you're still talking about pot, right?

    He probably just hadn't made up as cool of a term for it as you did.

    Comcast is perfectly capable of the above, in fact, I'd say they excel at it. Unfortunately, I no longer use their service, so I have to deal with more uptime and a faster connection, but hey, sometimes you just have to take one for the team.

  4. Re:Interesting on Disassembling the US Nintendo DSi · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's not a good comparison, as the Game Boy Advance was wildly different in capabilities from the Game Boy Color. Meanwhile the DS, DS Lite and DSi are essentially the same system.

    So it's true - Nintendo is developing better business sense with time!

    Just because your iMac G3 couldn't run 10.4 doesn't exactly make it a "Tiger Repelling Rock"

    So that is where the term "EPIC FAIL" comes from...

    Indeed, I've heard it used with Itanic more than a few times.

  7. Is there a gas leak in here? on Ballmer Scorns Apple As a $500 Logo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wouldn't take Vista for free but I happily paid a $500 'logo tax'

    Why can't people just prefer apple, and not be fanatical about it? Oh, right, because then that wouldn't justify the increased expense.

    Personally I like the hardware and design of the MacBook Pro, the software is nice too, but for me it's not worth the extra coin.

    With how much they cost, those cables should already have this tech.

    why replace it when the only thing that has changed are my expectations of what a piece of software should do?

  13. Re:News Flash! on Italian Red Lights Rigged With Short Yellow Light · · Score: 1

    The problem is that there are red light cameras at all.

    Ramen. Personally I'm scared, because I'd rather have someone run the first half second or so of a red light than slam on the brakes to avoid a fine, get hit from behind, and pushed into opposing traffic that is now up to speed. Gives me the willies.

  15. Re:You want to be in control... on Google Earth 5.0 Silently Changes Update Policy · · Score: 1

    Well, times have changed a bit. I have Vista on my personal box, and those particular problems are things of the past. McAffee and Norton are trash, don't heap them in with this either. "Sure is a nice PC you got there... it would be a shame if something... happened to it..."

    Vista has a real updater as part of the OS now, no need to visit that website (thank god) for any kind, critical, recommended, or optional. Also I've used Firefox for web browsing and Chrome for it's neato little "Application Shortcut" feature, so I'm not exposed to whatever hell is Internet Explorer these days. Just fyi, not trying to convert or claim superiority.

  16. Re:It's my computer on Google Earth 5.0 Silently Changes Update Policy · · Score: 1

    Why can't something that has nothing to do with Google Earth not be installed? People want to install Google Earth. They DO NOT want to install Google Updater. What's so hard about that to understand? What is Google trying to be, Microsoft? (Movie Maker, IE, Outlook Express, Messenger, etc. etc.)

    No, they're trying to be Apple. Well, to put it less abrasively, "But all the other kids are doing it!" Have you installed iTunes lately on a PC? Every time their updater software runs, you have to opt-out of installing their godawful Safari and Bonjour. Talking about pushing your other software because of a market dominance in one particular area... Except for a statistically insignificant few, everyone who uses an iPod branded mp3 player uses iTunes. Now I'll bet most of them have Safari and Bonjour too, and almost none of them want it.

    Besides, there's no way Apple would allow that software into the app store.
