  1. Re:Compromised Ergonomics? on Inside Hardware Design - Competing Against the iPod · · Score: 2, Funny
    Well, alright, it assumes you are a homo sapien with at least one opposable thumb on one hand.
    I'm an Ipod-using chimpanzee, you insensitive clod!
  2. Re:Better/Cheaper iPods with REAL competition on Inside Hardware Design - Competing Against the iPod · · Score: 1
    the iPod looks beautiful right out of the box. However, use it even once and the shiny chromed back is already getting scratched up and if you do not do something to protect the screen, within a year the screen is almost unreadable.
    Well, maybe you shouldn't carry it in a bag of rocks then. Seriously, I don't pamper my Ipod and the back does have a nice selection of scratches in it (some might say patina) but the display is far from unreadable. If your Ipod is so mangled that you can't read the display, it's not the Ipod at fault, it's you.

    one thing that can't be said about George is that he does thing half-assed

    Now Jedi even use their lightsabers to open up ketchup packets for complete strangers.

  5. Re:Sony Assumes too Much on Sony's New Nagging Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Yes. I don't buy clothing that has a security tag on it on principle.

  6. PowerPC on IBM Promoting POWER Systems · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's too bad they aren't promoting PowerPC.

  7. Ha ha! on Firefox Faces Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    No, this really hurts Firefox.

    I said "ha ha!"

  8. Re:Oh, give it up already. on House Limits Patriot Act Rules on Library Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's bullshit and you know it. There was absolutely no time to write the patriot act as a response to September 11. They just dragged out all of the horrible laws they've wanted for a long time and packaged them together.

    What war?

  10. Re:Office on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    MSOffice applications can't even import PDFs in a non-retarded way yet. Let MS get that out of the way first.

  11. Re:Sigh. Not All Software Has To Innovate on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    Open Office, Gimp, Firefox, etc. didn't whine about needing the "freedom to innovate" when they were on trial for abusing their monopoly position. Microsoft did. That's why people always talk about how Microsoft isn't innovating.

  12. Re:Not even JPEG on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    That is actually a pretty good way to separate the two pieces of functionality. Apple has been moving towards the save commands only working with the native file type and using export commands for other file types for a while now.

  13. Re:Nice on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this competition from Microsoft will get Adobe on the ball with their Cocoa port of Photoshop for the Macintosh.

  14. Re:Linux bluetoooth support ? on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    How do you like that keyboard? I've been thinking of getting it for my Mac. How long do the batteries last? Is there a power switch?

  15. Re:obligitory.... on PlayStation 3 HDD to Ship With Linux · · Score: 1

    The real question is whether it will run Max OS X or not!

    Sadly, the new answer seems to be "no."

    Slashdot has been overcome by the Apple Effect. Quick, throw a few more Pentium 4s onto the server farm!

    It's going to run on the Developer Kit that they're selling as of today with a *gag* Pentium 4.

    Yes, they will.

  20. Re:Any more news on GPL violating? on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    Yes. Apple could just be grabbing periodic snapshots of KTHML and using them without expending any effort on making it better.

  21. Re:Only a month behind on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    Apple offered to make Webcore platform independent and help KHTML onto the Webcore tree.

  22. Re:IE, when? on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    Actually, Mozilla doesn't pass the test either.

  23. Re:Big prob...IBM owns patents on SOI process on Apple Switching To Intel Chips In 2006 · · Score: 1

    I honestly don't understand how IBM cannot have enough production capacity for Apple's PowerPC 970s when they have enough for Microsoft's PowerPC 970-based chips in the new Xbox and Sony's Cell for the PlayStation 3.

    Is IBM also producing the PowerPC chips for Nintendo's Revolution or will Freescale supply them?
