  1. Re:Why is this tagged entertainment? on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: 1

    It was to be tagged as "laughable", but that goes under entertainment.

  2. Re:New ads on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of people -- and yes, creative people, and dump people, ignorant people, unethical people.... and so on and so on -- use PCs.

    And the tagline is absolutely perfect: "Life Without Walls".

    In a life without walls, why would I need windows?

  3. Re:what? on Russian Police Know Who Wrote Gpcode Virus · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't searched for "Only in Russia". Here's a link for you.

  4. Re:"Has Google Redefined Beta?" on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 1

    Is that a Google beta, or a normal beta?

  5. Re:Screw blackness on New Diablo 3 Images; Design Wins Over Darkness · · Score: 1

    And gameplay is more important than realism.

    He could sign the paper with his private key, so he could prove it was him in case they wanted to reward him.

  7. Re:True story on Why Email Has Become Dangerous · · Score: 1

    You can enable the beep and flash-thingy based on rules. So messages with "urgent" in them will get noticed immediately.

  8. Re:Mojave was a controlled test and the user did n on Microsoft Concedes Vista Launch Problems · · Score: 1

    The TV-broadcasters should stop the commercial half-way, and insert this one instead. Linux adoption would sky-rocket.

  9. Re:So...... on Microsoft Concedes Vista Launch Problems · · Score: 1

    I'd recommend XP 64-bit (x64) to you. It's win2k3-codebase with 64-bit :)

  10. Re:Comment on Seinfeld-Windows TV Ad Anything But 'Delicious' · · Score: 1

    You'd have to be a Mac fanboi to know. Do you really want to know?

  11. Re:I knew a guy who always had headaches on Secure File Storage Over Non-Trusted FTP? · · Score: 1

    Does Duplicity do the same?

  12. Re:INTRANET only on IE8 Breaking Microsoft's Web Standards Promise? · · Score: 1

    Intranet? What's that, some fuzzy word for intrablag?

  13. Re:Asteroids anyone? on Examining Portal's Teleportation Code · · Score: 1

    I didn't see any companion cube in Asteroids.
    Hidden level?

  14. Wow... So few know about MapReduce? on MapReduce Goes Commercial, Integrated With SQL · · Score: 1

    I'm astounded that so few people here know about MapReduce. There are lots of good videos about it made by Google.
    There's a five-part lecture about it starting here (use this link to view the rest)

    Or simply search for "google mapreduce". I suggest watching one of the videos though :)

  15. Re:It is obvious on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    What about the other 14%?

  16. Re:That number is probably low on One Third of New PCs Downgraded To XP? · · Score: 1

    I had the same problem on a new FSC with Vista. When I powered it on, it showed some activation-stuff. Then it just did "something" for 20 minutes or so. Rebooted, and Vista used over 10 minutes to start. I installed updates, and it still used 7 minutes to boot up, and it didn't do _anything_ in those minutes. No flashing, nothing on the screen, no hdd-activity.

    I then reinstalled Vista from scratch, and that problem went away.

  17. Re:s/Downgraded/Upgraded/g on One Third of New PCs Downgraded To XP? · · Score: 1

    When I was moderating this +1, my scroll wheel "jumped" and it hit offtopic. Now that I comment it, the point will go away :)

  18. Re:Sigh on Intel Releases USB 3.0 Controller Interface Spec · · Score: 1

    I did one try, and the thing short circuited. The host-connector was bent. It wouldn't have happened with an unsymmetrical plug.

    Personality never changes, legoman666! Once a legoman666, always a legoman666.

    With Quantum computing we could do this in O(n) time!

  21. Re:We could solve this problem. on YouTube Must Give All User Histories To Viacom · · Score: 1

    Google has servers all over the world. Then each of those countries' laws would apply. So if they have servers in Norway, and my visit was served there, by Norwegain law they aren't allowed to log my IP address without consent :)

  22. Re:Hooray on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    Too bad they only visit the first page. Think if they could download the ads and maybe check them out too...

  23. Re:It's a browser ffs... on Mozilla Firefox 3 Features Screencast · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's probably the software I use the most. And I'm not a web developer.

  24. Re:If selling support makes money... on Why Google Should Embrace OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    Oh, you mean if they force you to buy support, bundled? Because both software and cars are going to crash some time, given the right time and usage, and then need service.

  25. Re:If selling support makes money... on Why Google Should Embrace OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    Sure it is. That's why I never test my code.. It's perfect. No need for unit testing, bug reports etc. And we don't do QA... because we know it's good!

    Anyone who even thinks about supporting anyone with their app should have written better code in the first place!
