  1. Re:payola on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    When I mentioned THX-1138, I was hinting at the shameless consumerism of xanadu-xtroot.com (450073).

    Stylish? Really? It looks like "THE COMPUTER OF THE FUTURE" out of a 1981 Computer Shopper. Nice clock.

    What about the biggest Windows security threat there is? People who believe Microsoft's security to be infallible and thus do nothing to protect their machine. I wonder what it will take to knock the complacency out of people.

    Maybe you should watch Lucas' THX 1138 instead of Episode 3...

    Dude, just go buy a Playboy.

    The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire should send Bill Gates to war in Iraq with the rest of their knights.

  7. Re:It was a book? on Fan Group Creates Full-Length Discworld Movie · · Score: 1

    Snow Crash was originally written as a text adventure game? That would make sense. It's horrible in comparison to Quicksilver or what I have read of Cryptonomicon.

    It's not just his action. It's his reasoning for it and his actions after he got caught that make me feel no sympathy for him.

    Apple releases an iPod with a color screen...
    This happened a while ago. Apple just refreshed it for the first time yesterday.
  10. AAPL on Apple to Buy TiVo? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apple's stock isn't up on this rumor. Apple's stock is just up as of late.

    That's a very good point.

    Anyone who has ever stolen anything in their life, or committed any sort of crime as poor ethics?
    No, but this guy does.

    When did Apple claim Tiger was Open Source?

    He would harvest both of my kidneys because he didn't see anything wrong with it and give them to a couple of his buddies that like to drink too much.

    No thanks!

    Good point.

    I personally don't want a doctor with this sort of ethics to do anything to me in the future. I hope Apple sues him into oblivion.

    No, no, it's not.

    When I had cable the only non-network show I would watch was The Daily Show. And I could get all of the jokes from the brief news.google.com reading I do. Even if I didn't know the details of something, they usually set the jokes up well.

    Yes, heaven forbid we ask people to stop breaking the law because it's WRONG.
    Informing people a law is wrong is hardly a way to get people to respect it. If anything, that's a reason to break it.

  22. Re:Newton? on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Wow, those are some of the worst analogies I've ever seen.

    FWIW, I'm typing this on a Macintosh with a four-button Logitech mouse attached. And I still believe Apple is correct to ship one-button mouses. Most users are confused by anything more. Many years ago I provided telephone support for Microsoft and the overwhelming majority of Microsoft's customers I dealt with had no how to use anything but the left button of their mouse.

  23. Re:One button mice... on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    On a laptop, they're all fucking keys so tell her to get over it. You only have to remember one key to equal a conextual-click (right-click for some of you) and that is the control key.

  24. Re:Newton? on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The one-button mouse is also not wrong. Apple is right to ship computers with them (when they ship a mouse). Just because some people eventually graduate to competently using a multi-button mouse doesn't mean Apple should bundle them with their computers.

    iDVD 5 can create DVD image files which can easily be burned with third party DVD burners -- or even a Linux or Windows box on the network. I haven't got a third-party DVD burner so I can't check whether or not it now supports them.
