  1. pet control on Microsoft Kinect With World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    This guy needs to learn some pet control, what a waste.

  2. Re:huh on Swiss Bank Has 43-Page Dress Code · · Score: 2

    Awesome, should share it.

  3. Re:Nothing new on Gmail Creator Says Chrome OS Is As Good As Dead · · Score: 1

    Sure, why would they have two operating systems for essentially the same market. Its not the difference between a server / desktop-book os.

    Seems like just a jaded former employee or a poorly presented article / post.

  4. provide fast remedy on Gawker Source Code and Databases Compromised · · Score: 1

    They should provide a fast one stop cgi that their users can do go that will perform these steps, not 'visit our sites and figure shit out'.

    Annoying.

  5. Re:GARBAGE on Oracle Restricts Access To Sun Firmware Downloads · · Score: 1

    Agreed, if this is after market issues (like cisco had with ios and did the same thing) they could have addressed it in a different issue.

    This coupled with the Solaris support changes, not sure what there is in their product line thats worth it.

    Cannot wait for a real zfs/dtrace/crossbow/zome alternative elsewhere.

  6. Re:Get private offices on Best Seating Arrangement For a Team of Developers? · · Score: 1

    Can you post the ibm study source please.

  7. Re:Back to the Future? on When VMware Performance Fails, Try BSD Jails · · Score: 1

    Comparing ESX and Zones? Seems like a horridly thought out comparison

  8. Re:Lies, damn lies. on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    "from a certain point of view"

  9. Re:That's Fine With Me on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 1

    They have who knows what degrees?

  10. wow on Do Video Games Cost Too Much? · · Score: 1

    i used to buy my game or two a week, play them and their regret them or finish them before the next week. perhaps i would rent a game and have the same feeling.

    since wow was released i cannot really think of any titles i have purchased. a few rentals here and there.

  11. Re:Republican? on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 1

    Your dead wrong, I bet they will have more visa apps filled after this after a compromise is sought in which jobs will be phased out over a longer period of time (into companies that will be axed entirely).

  12. not online on Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords · · Score: 1

    i would love to see if people aren't online, if they are detained/violated in some way perhaps if someone else has the same name.

    i could see someone registering bogus names of people that are sex-offenders and posting under those names and then filing complaints to screw with these people.

  13. i gladly would on Larger iPod Touch In Apple's Future? · · Score: 1

    i would buy one if it was larger and a kindle-done-right device assuming the battery life wasn't stupid.

  14. Re:Auto On and Off + Blacklists on (Useful) Stupid BlackBerry Tricks? · · Score: 1

    filters for some addresses (certain bounces for example) suck. these being the message exchange doesnt have a user for but calls them 'system administrator' and then in the bb when you create rule based on sender it just a EM: or similar goofy sender that will never match anything.

  15. Re:Lack of demos. on Game Developer Asks To Hear From Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly, somewhere along the line playable demos got lost, game play trailers, honest unsponsored reviews, got lost.

    I download a game, check it out (most of the time less time spent playing than learning the controls) and often I am grateful I did.

    Oh I cannot customize the controls, or the game is a series of loot grinds, its spoon feed gimme content, its a calculus simulation, etc.

  16. Re:Where there is smoke.... on "DonorGate" Is Latest Scandal To Hit Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I would tend to agree, edits for cash is one thing, edits for donations seems to beg a lot more research before this gets anywhere near a 'gate'.

  17. Re:You do not deserve fiber! on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    I would also agree that RR is much better than DSL where I live (northern wisconsin)

  18. Update on Little Demand Yet For Silverlight Developers · · Score: 1

    Only reason its downloaded would be the update feature.

  19. Revolutionary on Using Excel As a 3D Graphics Engine · · Score: 1

    I love the 'Revolutionary' 3d graphics engine title of the article.

  20. Re:Wireless on Richard Stallman on OLPC · · Score: 1

    Way to miss his intent, perhaps too you are not interested in content. He doesn't claim anything good or bad about the technology in and of itself except that its closed. Though he seems to demonstrate an acute grasp of it in the interview for what its worth when discussing the hardware and the removal.

  21. Old on UPS Using Software To Eliminate Left Turns · · Score: 1

    This story is so very years ago.

  22. Amazing on Online Sex Offender Database Leads To Murder? · · Score: 1

    Getting on the sex offender lists is pretty easy the various 'levels' are key. Indecent exposure, prostitution, assault, rape, etc. I can foresee some guy doing this and not understanding the context at all of the 'list'.

  23. of course on RIAA Argues That MP3s From CDs Are Unauthorized · · Score: 1

    of course they are illegal, albumn tapes and cds are fragile and flawed media. With such a short life span. No way can a rip of such media be legal when a replacement copy or entire media can be had.

  24. Re:CSS support on Users and Web Developers Vent Over IE7 · · Score: 1

    Don't worry yesturday a commenter mentioned this would be fixed and there would be no need for other browsers come IE8 or worse case IE9. MS just had a slow start with crushing the W3 thats all.

  25. Re:France... on PDF Is Now ISO 32000 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Their 'open format' is just a wedge to allow them to not be sued for various issues or locked out of markets.

    They can say hey we can do that too, but not promote the product other than an alternative, an alternative they have no expectation that the client base would be able to actually commit to.
