  1. Re:Really... on Adobe Warns of Reader, Acrobat Attack · · Score: 1

    Interactive forms. Forms that change options and check parameters when entered, etc etc.

  2. Re:Unnecesary on "Loud Commercial" Legislation Proposed In US Congress · · Score: 1

    My 55" Sony has a volume limiter option but it never made much difference at either setting. The only tv that a volume limiter option worked was an old Philips 19" CRT from my bedroom.

  3. Oh great on $860 Million In Fines Handed Out For LCD Price-Fixing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Guess who is going to pay the $860 million. Don't look forward to cheaper LCD prices anytime soon.

  4. In other words on What Do You Look For In a Conference? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're a self absorbed douchebag who got a taste of reality when nobody wanted to attend your coma inducing conference.

  5. Oh for fucks sake on Lifecycle Energy Costs of LED, CFL Bulbs Calculated · · Score: 2, Informative

    How can these "editors" screw up a single sentence? They're not even janitors.

  6. Oh good on Facebook Putting Batteries On-Board Its Servers · · Score: 4, Funny

    What would the world be like if facebook went offline... I'm not sure I could continue living.

  7. You mean on Apple Asks Judge To Shutter Psystar's Clone Unit · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can't do whatever I want with a piece of software I legally own?

  8. Oh please on Two Arrested For Zbot Trojan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Idiots are everywhere. You think people won't write malware or trojans if macos or linux suddenly jumped to a majority market share? People write the shit for windows because its what everyone uses. Why would I bother with 1.2% of the linux users when theres 92% of windows users available? Nothing is idiot proof, not even linux.

    Don't forget the six minute ping time!

  10. Failed step 3 on BlueHippo Scam Collected $15M, Only Shipped One PC · · Score: 1

    1. Scam idiots
    2. Collect millions
    3. Flee the country with your millions. Looks like China is about the only livable country without an extradition treaty to the US. Hong Kong sounds very nice.

  11. apples oranges... on 1/3 of People Can't Tell 48Kbps Audio From 160Kbps · · Score: 1

    They are using two completely different codecs. Try 48kbps mp3 vs 160kbps mp3 and see.

  12. Well Duh! on Commercial Fuel From Algae Still Years Away · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Several years away...

    We've been hearing that for everything, cold fusion, energy storage for electric cars, holographic memory, duke nukem forever... Wake me when we can tell the middle east we won't be needing their product anymore.

  13. So what was it? on US House Decommissions Its Last Mainframe · · Score: 1

    What kind of box was it? My guess goes for a VAX...

  14. More info you worthless editors! on Dymaxion Car Being Restored · · Score: 3, Informative

    After reading the "summary" and all the links I still don't know what any of this means. From what I gather three cars were made in the 1930s and they need to know who made the turn signals. Thats about all so far....

  15. Wow! on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Being older than 10 this is meaningless to me. Do kids today even buy comic books anymore? Isn't it mostly the 30-50 year old crowd trying to make an investment? Woo boy am I holding my breath for spiderman 4 in 2011...

  16. Jealous? on Microsoft Interns Still Feel the Love · · Score: 1

    Nah, you just sound like a douchebag.

  17. Bottom Line on Tracking Stolen Gadgets — Manufacturers' New Dilemma · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Buy a $3 paperback book. Be kind and leave it for the next person.

  18. 50 tabs? on Meet Uzbl — a Web Browser With the Unix Philosophy · · Score: 2, Funny

    What are you doing that requires 450 or even 50 tabs for that matter? You sound like an RMS nutjob.

  19. Seconded on Kernel 2.6.31 To Speed Up Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Earlier today I checked to see if ATI has X1650 drivers for Windows 7. They consider my card legacy and they do have a driver but I have a feeling there won't be many new releases.

  20. Yeah and on OS Performance — Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    99.997% of the people using these computers don't care.

  21. Oh just fucking burn it on Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch Worries Researchers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you burn the plastic and debris at a high temperature the emissions are relatively small. Burn it and put the exhaust through another filter to catch whats left. Hell you could probably power the ship from the incinerators.

    Too bad plastic is cheaper to make than it is to reclaim. Otherwise someone would have scooped it all up and made it into milk jugs by now.

  22. His mistake on BetOnSports Founder Pleads Guilty To Racketeering · · Score: 3, Insightful

    His mistake was not leaving the US when he had enough money to live independently. That or he was too cheap and didn't "donate" to the right legislators.

  23. Dragging into itunes does nothing on AVG Update Breaks iTunes · · Score: 1

    Like the subject says dragging files into itunes does nothing. It was one of the first things I tried. Setting sync to manual gave me the message about overwriting original contents. God forbid your mp3s don't have ID3 tags because itunes sticks them all in some unknown folder instead of paying attention to the filename.

    Its like people never knew how to manage mp3 files before itunes came along. How hard is it to organize the files and folders yourself? I seem to have no problems doing so. Are you keeping 100,000 files in a single folder or what?

  24. Haha, good on AVG Update Breaks iTunes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    iTunes is about as useful as malware. If someone would only write a simple drag and drop app for the ipod touch that didn't require jailbreaking....

    Seriously does anyone else have issues with how convoluted it really is to add mp3 files to an ipod touch? Add a folder to your library, wait while itunes chugs and makes a COPY of each file before syncing. Hit sync a few times and agree to all your old settings being overwritten (when all it really does is update). A $10 mp3 player allows me to right click and say "Send to..." Fuck you apple.

    I believe the term is called "legislating from the bench".
