  1. Worst Article Ever on PC Mag - Mac OS X Insecure · · Score: 1

    This Ulanoff doesn't even bother to research his subject. I assume he wrote this in one pass with Spell-Check TM on and posted it.

    id PHB: I don't see anything!
    id Programmer: Look! Look at it! The pixel at 320x540! Oh my God it looks like something from Daikatana!
    id PHB: I think you're over reacting.
    id Programmer: Sure for YOU it means nothing. Why does C|Net always do this? Why can't they just cover the game. WHY DO THEY TORMENT ME? Why can't they show the kid who camps all the time, huh? Why not him?
    id PHB: I'm going to stand over there now.

    I suggest strongly you actually read the Patriot Act (which I assume you're referring to) and see what it is really all about. Ask you local librarian to pipe down for a moment while you read the text.

    May I respectfully submit this to you ?

  15. Gore Vidal is an idiot on Gore Vidal Savages Electronic Voting · · Score: -1, Troll

  16. Re:Expose' on Ars Technica Posts Panther Review · · Score: 1

    I have it. It's OK.

    CodeTek's Virtual Desktop is waaaay better. I simply _need_ multiple desktops to be productive. I'd like to see them both work with each other (in a sensible way).

    F9 ensmallens things so you can find them
    F10 tells you what has focus
    F11 clears the screen But if you open something new everyting comes rushing back to the desktop! What's the point?)

    ifthensoft has a thing called Hacksopse' (or something) and it enables the "blob" which lets you click something to do F9 & F10, but again, what's the point?
