  5. Re:Google Apps likes shiney new things too! on Gmail Labs Lets Users Experiment With 13 New Features · · Score: 0

    I want to test these features, and see the bleeding edge technology. Do you really want cutting-edge buggy features on your paid-for Google Apps?

    This would be pretty stupid, because mitochondria genes are ALWAYS passed down from mother to child.

    Wrong

    The 5.25" disk was 360K in size in the majority of cases.

    You're talking about 3.5" Double density 720Kb disk which was superceded by 3.5" High-Density 1.44Mb capacity.

  10. Re:Monkey Island 2 on Bastard Tetris Hates You · · Score: 0

    I'd say that was wrong-- you were supposed to go to the library, hunt through the huge card catalog and find the correct entry. There you'd have the coordinates for the sunken ship.

  11. Re:Other option..(I think its better) on Google Maps, Local Expand To UK · · Score: 0

    There is a government webpage called transportdirect which I found quite useful. It can take you from A to B in all manners of ways -- be it driving, bussing, trains or ferries.

    Hahahaha!

    I ask my wife the same thing. Honey, I'm used to doing things your way.. and I always get acceptable results from you.. but what am I missing out on by not giving (for example) Veronica a shot?

    This is funny because as we all know, Veronica used to be da bomb, back in the 1980s :)

  16. WRONG on Macromedia: More FUD About SVG · · Score: 0

    I find that using Flash for video is often the best use of flash.

    Often I have found that in public clusters or other machines, Quicktime or WMP are badly installed, have old versions, etc. By the time I want to watch a video I have to download the latest codec etc, and a locked down XP makes this impossible.

    However video on flash works out-of-the-box, and makes it a painless experience.

  18. narcolepsy? i know about it on Interactive Fiction All-Stars Get Narcoleptic · · Score: 0

    Interesting.

    I know about narcolepsy! I am a medic, and I suffer from it. Despite being a debilitating disease, which is only alleviated by a clear diagnosis, narcolepsy is very ostracised by the rest of the society.

    People know very little about it. I only know of the USA Stanford Sleep centre for narcolepsy which has a special interest init.

    We'll see.

    Well on TENCHU 3 : WRATH OF HEAVEN on PS2 you have a good cooperative mode which use vertical split screen.
