  1. Re:I have four words for you on TiVo Basic · · Score: 1
    Only in the U.S. is U.S. counted as one word.

    (Joke!)

  2. Perfect box on Microsoft Rolls Out iLoo · · Score: 1

    Finally, a rig that's worthy of a Microsoft operating system! Would any men feel intimidated by the "Hardware Compatibility List" for this thing, though?

  3. Re:Law Firm Names on RIAA Settles Suits Against Students · · Score: 1

    The only law firm in the world that has apparently retained (ha ha) their sense of humor is Morrison & Foerster. Read that url.

  4. It does keep a record on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    AMS does track what you've bought, and you can see it. After you're logged in, click your account name in the top left of the AMS window. You can then click "Purchase History" and see everything you've already bought.

  5. One other obligatory alternative... on New Ultra-Intrusive Pop-up Ads Introduced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As I read about all the pop-up blocking that Mozilla does, I can't help but mention that Safari does the same thing. I also seem to notice that a lot of the super-intusive ads only really do their thing on Windows + IE. Finally, an UPSIDE to being in the software minority!

  6. Re:Satelite frequencies to watch on Apple Announcement Broadcast Live · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously! I'm not interested in the nightly broadcast from WGSE-CX. That would put the "broad" back in broadcast!

  7. Re:Gaming after Photorealism on Carmack On Doom III And The Evolution Of Graphics · · Score: 1

    See, that's the X-Box angle. M$ believes that the games that use the biggest controllers will be the best.

  8. Enough already! on Wired on Hollywood's Elite Message Boards · · Score: 1

    I wish I hadn't learned this much about Kangaroo freakin' Jack! That's information overload!

  9. Re:For those seeking a motive... on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. That's correct.

  10. Re:+1, Funny on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Um, yeah, the same way they made enough money to buy Universal freakin' Music!

  11. Re:Question about Terminal on Apple Updates Professional Video Lineup · · Score: 1

    It's my understading that there are several alternatives to Apple's terminal, but I'm not sure what they are, I like the default one. I REALLY should have mentioned this in my earlier post, but every Mac user should be aware of http://versiontracker.com. You can find all kinds of fantastic software there. It's a really amazing site.

  12. Re:Hey, I just bought a Mac, let me tell ya... on Apple Updates Professional Video Lineup · · Score: 1

    Just a few things on you recent migration- Home/End may not work, but arrows up/down jump to the beginning/end of dialogs. Alt-tab isn't what it is on the Mac, it's Apple-tab. Since you're using a MS keyboard, you probably see Alt where the Apple key would normally be. You can change that in your MS keyboard control panel preferences. Not sure if it affects terminal, though. Check http://www.macgamefiles.com http://www.imgmagazine.com & http://www.macgamer.com for games. Hope that helps!

  13. Help with Mac OS X? on Build Your Own Database-Driven Website · · Score: 1

    Does this book cover installation on Mac OS X? If I wanted to learn PHP, would this book apply to a local Mac installation?

  14. Re:Network? on Virtual PC 6 Review · · Score: 1

    It;s much easier just to map a location on your Mac drive to a drive letter in VPC. Faster, too.

  15. Re:no sense on Enterprise CTO Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Microsoft has COMPATIBILITY to maintain - and changing something so major requires time and effort. "

    Yeah, if only Microsoft had the resources they'd make a reliable, flexible OS. Can I just Paypal them a donation?

  16. Re:Apple sadly behind on pen computing on Five Years Later, Newton Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, but don't forget, Apple has folded the Newton's handwriting recognition (Rosetta) into Mac OS X 10.2.

  17. Re:Borders on Los Alamos Security Infiltrated By Reporter · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think you mean "it takes FEET to sneak across the US-Mexico border."

  18. Re:Fine, I'll ask on Ask ISP Owner Barry Shein About the Spam Wars · · Score: 1

    Penis cartridges are only $30 now? Wow, what a market... ; )

  19. Re:Mental Anguish on Larry Page: Google Was an Accident · · Score: 1
    "This will probably lead to Google going into a KFC 20 years from know and shooting up the place."

    At least it's accuracy will be fantastic!
  20. Re:It's called LANMAN, and has been here since 80s on Rendezvous, Microsoft And Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What? Zero-conf does not include setting up dyndns or a dhcp server. I'm pretty sure that's what the ZERO part means.

  21. I've got some... on Carmack Needs Rocket Fuel · · Score: 1

    that I'll trade for a beta of Doom. It's in a little bottle in my bathroom right now.

  22. Re:Why organic? on Italians Perform Groundbreaking Full Jaw Transplant · · Score: 1

    Sure, I've seen one say "I'm a friend of Sarah Connor" before.

  23. Re:We prefer the terrm... on Advergames · · Score: 1

    I think they'd actually pick ENTERTAINVERTISING. It's more cumbersome.

  24. Re:Apple at a Linux Expo? on Mac OS X Sessions at LinuxExpo · · Score: 3, Informative

    MaggraX is located here.

  25. Re:Reasons Jobs for Pres. isn't a sound idea.... on Elect Steve Jobs President of the United States · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's called marketing, man. If you believe it, you're falling for it. If you recognize it, then you're smart.
