  1. Re:Get over it. on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 2

    begin sarcasm--> It may not be the only solution. Most of the time it is the quickest. Well Quickest for the one doing the fixing. Run manufacturer recovery program and walk away. Muhahahaha! ---end sarcasm

  2. Activator on Failed Controller-Free Gaming Devices of the Past · · Score: 1

    I was so happy when I got the Sega Activator for my birthday. That lasted for all of 20 min...and that's including setup time.

  3. Good Scifi on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I would call it good scifi.

  4. Stuck with glasses. on Hobbit Film Finally Gets Green Light, To Be Shot in 3-D · · Score: 1

    Not everyone can wear contacts, and it sucks when I have to deal with a scratch on my lenses because the 3D glasses never seem to fit over my glasses correctly. I personally wont see it in the theaters if they only have the 3D option. Since I don't expect everyone else to do without just because I can't use it without issues.

  5. DS9 and such on Recently Discovered Habitable World May Not Exist · · Score: 1

    It's a faaaaake! :0)

  6. Propoganda? on GM Criticized Over Chevy Volt's Hybrid Similarities · · Score: 1

    It kind off reads like it is overly biased to me.

  7. Re:don't data centers have poor gps signals and ha on Finding Lost IT With RFID · · Score: 1

    From an IT perspective that really does sound like a nifty inventory/tracking system. Though I do understand the unions argument. If I were an orderly and need a break because I just cleaned up my seventh puddle of vomit for the day. I'd hate to have someone from accounting pitching a fit because I took a break when I "didn't need one". /shudder

  8. Re:A further shore.... on Can We Travel To That Exciting New Exoplanet? · · Score: 4, Informative

    We already have plenty of shores to explore in the solar system. They're just not as sexy as another earth type place. ;-)

  9. VM's and such on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I still run it. It is very cooperative as far as running in a virtual machine. So I get to play my aging games/business type software without installing wine. :)

  10. Re:IOW they learned nothing... on Blizzard Rolls Out Real ID Privacy Options · · Score: 1

    I think that they are trying set it up so that they can use it for demographics. Then they can add another revenue stream by selling targeted ads in their games. Hmm...then again maybe the tinfoil hat is causing some issues with my thinking and stuff. :)

  11. Re:It's made of magic on Terry Pratchett's Self-Made Meteorite Sword · · Score: 1

    Very interesting. Thank you for the information!

  12. Re:It's made of magic on Terry Pratchett's Self-Made Meteorite Sword · · Score: 1

    But rapiers were very specialized for a certain way of fighting/dueling that was in vogue with young noble men. They didn't were armor and in a lot of ways it was more about form and style than it was about killing efficiency. The statement does hold true for swords except for the very specialized ones like the rapier.

  13. MASH humor on Woman Trademarks Name and Threatens Sites Using It · · Score: 1

    On the patent for her name. "Current Status: Section 8 and 15 affidavits have been accepted and acknowledged" At least the Section 8 is accurate. Hehe

  14. Are My Seems Straight? on Frustrated Reporter Quits After Slow News Day · · Score: 1

    "No noose is good noose...ha ha, haha" -from Men In Tights.

  15. Re:No NAT, no glory on Why You Shouldn't Worry About IPv6 Just Yet · · Score: 1

    snip

    I was under the impression that site-local addresses weren't routable. It's been awhile since I've read the RFC. I suppose I better refresh my memory.

  16. Re:Roll it out in cell phones on Why You Shouldn't Worry About IPv6 Just Yet · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm mistaken. Most of the cell phone companies are already using IPv6 addresses for their smart phones.

  17. Is this really news worthy on The Fuel Cost of Obesity · · Score: 1

    It's common sense that the more weight you haul around the more gas you use. So whether your weight is 400 pounds or you're carrying around 250 pounds of stuff in your trunk/cargo area. You're burning more gas.

  18. No 3D glasses for me on Filmmakers Resisting Hollywood's 3-D Push · · Score: 1

    The 3Dglasses are the reason I don't watch 3D movies. I wear glasses to see, and I haven't tried a pair of 3D glasses yet that doesn't rub up against my lenses. Frankly an 11 dollar movie is not worth having an annoying scratch that I have to deal with every waking minute.

  19. Re:Illegal Search? on Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Because it could be said that anyone flying in a plane or even in a 2 story building could see into your yard (assuming standard privacy fence size). Now if you built an enclosure, or even an awning(sp?), and they sent in robot badgers to check things out. I that would be an illegal search. :0)

     

  20. Re:Kevin Smith on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

    yep every time I see an interview with Prince. I think about the story Kevin Smith told in that movie and begin to chuckle. :)

  21. Interesting on HDBaseT Supporters Hope To Kiss HDMI Goodbye · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't have some sort of mandatory DRM built into the spec, I'm all for it.

  22. Because the DM said so on Believing You Are Very Good Or Evil Boosts Your Physical Capabilities · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna choose evil so I can use the Helm of Disintegration!

  23. Gaming is becoming tedious. on The Awful Anti-Pirate System That Will Probably Work · · Score: 1

    ...and I thought that Dawn of War 2 was annoying. Sheesh!

  24. Face to Face on The Cell Phone Has Changed — New Etiquette Needed · · Score: 1

    From the article" 3. Avoid taking calls when you're already engaged in a face-to-face conversation." When someone does this and walks away is defiantly the most insulting.

  25. Re:1.2.3.4! on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    Thank you! I needed a laugh. :)
