  1. Re:So? on Major Hangups Over the iPod Phone · · Score: 1

    There were mp3 players before the iPod too, but none as successful.

  2. Re:The real reason the iPodPhone should be dropppe on Major Hangups Over the iPod Phone · · Score: 1

    Who could be interested? Oh yeah, the billion or so people who own both a cell phone and an iPod, that's who.

    "...but how long will it be before Valve is advertising their new game?"

    Based on how long it took to finish HL2, this is something for your great-grandchildren to worry about.

  4. Is it named yet? on First JPEG Virus Posted To Usenet · · Score: 2, Funny

    If there's no name yet, how about the Medusa virus?

  5. Re:YRO? What's online got to do with this? on Lucasfilms Nixes Star Wars Live Screening · · Score: 1

    The connection is this: making sure the Star Wars I download off IRC is the real thing, not some crummy parody.

  6. Finally linux taken seriously on Ubuntu Linux Preview Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet this is the release that will push linux on the desktop to the forefront. I can hear the CEO of a fortune 500 company saying in a financial conference call, "we're going with the proven stability of Warty Warthog from no-name-yet.com."
    Seriously, what's with these names?

    Wow. That is insane. I wish I had mod points for you.

    Bah, I would never give up my I.P. that freely! ;)

  9. Re:1984 and 1987 on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at the Apple store lately? I don't think they have changed their RAM pricing since then!

    Kidding! Actually, I remember watching my dad upgrade our original Mac 128k to 512 like I was watching brain surgery.

  10. Re:Sure on A Six-Step Plan for Apple · · Score: 3, Funny

    I need your root password and IP address for it to install correctly.

    Sure, my password is, oddly enough, your birthday and my ip is 127.0.0.1

  11. Re:Useful part on Clever Caller ID Tricks With VoIP · · Score: 1

    Hiding from bill collectors is one thing, but telemarketers and commercial callers do this too, and I would LOVE to find out who they are.

  12. Re:Search for Linux on Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there aren't that many rabbits that can use the internet, so it shouldn't be a big problem. :D

  13. Re:Sports writer says: ... most powerful movie ... on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    So what? America is the only country left where anyone might still like Bush!

  14. Re:That's about 9 terahertz on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster · · Score: 1

    That doesn't count as liquid cooled! :D

  15. Re:Great on iPod Your BMW Officially Launched · · Score: 1

    The controls for the iPod are integrated into the steering wheel, so you can still fumble about for your cell phone while listening to music. :)

  16. Re:No OS9 support on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 1

    iTunes doesn't run in WinME, which is the same age as OS 9, not to mention that they haven't made a dime off you in many, many years. The previous poster was right: you're making a trade-off and this is one of the incentives Apple is holding out to you. Make the plunge- OS X is great.

  17. Raiders remake on Slashback: Indy, Kaneko, Swindling · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you get a chance to see the Raiders of the Lost Ark remake, you must do it. I saw it earlier this year at a film festival in Mississippi. Everyone in it is between around 12 and 16. Not just everyone in it, but everyone involved with it! These kids were resourceful in a way only kids can be and dangerously so. They literally set their parents' basement on fire and dragged each other behind a truck, all for love of a movie. The movie itself came out great, but there's this excellent metatheater aspect to it, where you set away and think "how the hell did 13 year olds DO that?!" They also (slightly) visibly age through the movie, which is funny when you notice it. This was one of the most fun movies I've ever seen, don't miss it!
    Also, they revealed that Paramount bought their story and plans to make a movie about the kids making this movie!

  18. Re:Missing: Basic Features on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 1

    I think you are confusing your terms. iTunes supports virtually every mp3 player (as far as mp3s are concerned), but iTMS-bought AAC files can only be played on an iPod.

  19. Re:"Water"-cooling on Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, there goes my scalding hot carbon dioxide gas case mod!

  20. Re:What field next on What Should a Documentary Filmmaker Ask About Offshoring? · · Score: 1

    I guess so, 60,000/365 = 164. It initially sounded like a lot more and I didn't do the math upfront. :)

    "Guy gets his current model year Toyota 4Runner with 60k miles"

    He put 60,000 miles on his car in less than a yearm without ever changing the oil? I'm skeptical.

  22. Try changing industries on Microsoft Customers Get No Bang for Buck · · Score: 1
    "People expect certain things from a subscription, and regular, on-time releases are among them. "

    That's a great point. Consider this: what if Newsweek sent you one issue for a year's subscription? There would be a lawsuit, at minimum. They'd go out of business immediately. Why should it be different for this industry?

  23. Beyond that... on Gates on Spam · · Score: 4, Insightful

    98% of people will read this as: "So the richest man in the world wants me to pay for something I have always done for free?"

    I predict his personal backing can only hurt this effort.

  24. Re:Firewire for DV / USB for still Images on Getting Sony TRV-22 Cams Working w/ G5s? · · Score: 5, Informative
    Furthermore, iMovie's documentation says:

    "Many DV cameras include both a USB and FireWire (also known as iLink or IEEE 1394) connection. The USB connection on DV cameras is usually designed for downloading still images and not video. Use the FireWire connection when working with iMovie. If your camera does not have a FireWire port, it will not work with iMovie. "
