  1. Re:Transitions.... on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a story a few days back wherein an outside expert was quoted for saying that MS now would start giving more power to the marketing depts and less to the engineers? :-P

  2. Re:use as a cpu? on ATI's 1GB Video Card · · Score: 1

    I think that's the finnish version of 'Bandwidth Exceeded'...

    This is exactly what I want. Yesterday.

  4. A line of hundreds of people in Japan? on Hundreds Line Up For DS Lite · · Score: 1

    That's what I call big news.
    I mean, it's only one of the most densely populated countries in the world, so an event liek this must be completely spark-tacular, right?

    Not that I don't want one, but seriously, this story is from a country so over-populated that they live in apartments so small I wouldn't have a dog live in one.

  5. Re:Yeah, but... on Hundreds Line Up For DS Lite · · Score: 1

    Two new very indivodual colours should be available within a week, they just had some scheduling problems. Soon, you will probably be able to buy your DS Lite with very individualized official Tribal markings or a SNES/Super Famicom colour scheme, tailoured to your needs and desires.

    He has every right, although he may not have the option or inclination.

  7. Re:People in movie theaters... on Nanotube Paint Blocks Cell Phones on Demand · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

    I really don't understand people who talk in their cell phones and gets surprised when confronted. They're probably the same idiots who flock train doors making it impossible to get out of a train.

    I am Danish and I am more offended that you're Canadian. Get away from our protectorates!

  9. A little twist in *my* MMORPG Valentine on Love in the Time of Pixels · · Score: 1

    I was playing City of Villains when my girlfriend came home from the supermarket and asked me to help her putting groceries into the fridge... and then I found a Nintendo DS in the bottom of her bag =D

    I prefer the playgirls... But that's just me!

  13. [OT]On the topic of credibility on Stubborn Spyware Removal Advice? · · Score: 1

    It was a real objection - and I mean it seriously that you lose credibility by stating (implicitly) that MSIE is not a real browser.
    It may be riddled with security holes and may updating more often than my lappy needs a recharge but it is *still* the most used browser on the market - which unfortunately merits that they make their own standards that are often followed by major companies. For instance, I can't use my mobile telco's homepage from Opera because their crappy filter assumes that if you don't use IE you're a cell phone, and I am then tossed to their crappy WAP portal. Why? Because non-IE users are marginal.
    I didn't say I disagree with your points, I merely stated that your chosen way of communicating your point worked against you.

  14. Re:That's a temporary solution on Stubborn Spyware Removal Advice? · · Score: 1

    Your post makes sense but you lose credibility by implicitly stating that Microsoft products are not 'real'. They are very real, they command a larger portion of the market than the named alternatives. I'd probably term the alternatives 'proper' or 'secure'.

  15. Re:Steep requirements on Full Featured Pocket Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    I would never rely on a piece of hardware (or *anything*) bought in Aldi. I mean, have you ever even looked at what they're selling?

    Clicky.

    Robo Koopa
    Mario and Co arrive in Robo Land, only to be attacked by Koopa, who's donned
    a robo suit. They meet up with Bunsen, a robot Mushroom, who temporarily gets
    rid of Koopa. Bunsen then takes the group to Dr. Nerdnick, the man who was
    tricked into building the robo suit, and is being held captive by Koopa's guards.
    Everything goes well, until Koopa returns and captures Princess and Toad.

  17. Re:Filled up a drive? on Solid State Memory on the Rise · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have the same problem but found a fix for it a short while ago - my laptop had to go in for service and I was too lazy to burn more than a single backup CD.
    Also, I don't think my downloads directory is any business of the service technicians (and, as we all know, they do look at your stuff, especially if they're bored) - so I wiped the entire Documents folder and generally scrubbed my computer for personal data.
    I saw it as a healthy practise, both from the standpoint of my private data but also because I had so much shit.

    You'd need drivers for the Apple hardware - and my first guess would be that it wouldn't be Apples biggest priority to ensure MSWin compatibility.

    So you're saying that this program is comparable to crimes against humanity? Seriously, you need a healthy sense of perspective. A healthy sense, not too much, mind.
