  1. Re:lacking info on Windows 7 Sets Direction of Low-Power CPU Market · · Score: 1

    Your average user doesn't know what the hell you are talking about. The only improvements the average user wants to see are faster, simpler prettier.

  2. Re:MacOS X or Windows on What OS and Software For a Mobile Documentary Crew? · · Score: 1

    I think your hardware choice is going to be much more important, something tough and something compatible and something fixable.

  3. Re:This is the politically correct version on When Does It Become OK To Make Games About a War? · · Score: 1

    Atrocious!

  4. Re:Rubbish. on Computers With Opinions On Visual Aesthetics · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Off site backup! on How To Store Internal Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    I have a concrete firesafe under my garage floor (away from the house) with a power line and an ethernet cable going in to a cheapo NAS unit. XXcopy on all the clients, custom BAT scripts on Task scheduler. Hasn't let me down yet.

  6. Re:Boredom on OpenOffice UI Design Proposals Published · · Score: 1

    Funny you should say that but mouse clicking a calculator on a PC (assuming you are on a laptop and haven't a number pad) is an awful experience. The reason I use a WinMo PDA and not an iphone is the beautiful simplicity of handwritten notes ( on a construction site for small designs, shopping lists etc). Sometimes simple is perfect (paper got destroyed to easily in my mangling pockets)

  7. Re:Um... on Windows 7 RCs Shut Down To Force Updates · · Score: 1

    I seem to have all the lines of the comments cu

  8. Re:"simply by showing it to them" on Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spot · · Score: 1

    Type in the password for them on THEIR machine. Hopefully they won't know how to make the password visible after the fact.

  9. Re:Since most people don't RTFA on Sun Microsystems May Have Violated Bribery Law · · Score: 1

    Indeed it did and now all the local telecoms are busy selling wireless internet to schoolchildren, even if they can't get a signal. Magalhaes google it.

  10. Re:I am SHOCKED and APPALLED on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    So true. This goes to the heart of who you are as a person. No one else can answer this for you because this decision defines who you are and no one else can answer that nor judge that from your perspective. Who are you?

  11. Re:Don't Sell on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    Truly true. Be young, regret it later, earn your goatee.

  12. Re:Take the money. on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    Do you value this money above that what you do now?

  13. Re:Are You Really Prepared for the Hardware Market on Oracle Won't Abandon SPARC, Says Ellison · · Score: 1

    What's the difference between a duck?

    aww shucks you got me

  15. Re:Windows has ESP? on First Look At Windows 7 On an Entry-Level Netbook · · Score: 1

    Have you seen how fast W7 boots. Vista is awful but 7 boots seriously fast, when you have to reboot that is, wake from standby AND connect to wifi is almost instant.

  16. Re:What the hell?! on Apple Rejects Nine Inch Nails iPhone App · · Score: 1

    "It's like a concert in your pocket" ... erm I don't think so. How about actually go to a concert and save your telephone for something else.

  17. Re:Step back a bit... on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 1

    Drill it out first so that the trashed camera is visible once tape is removed.

  19. Re:Fascinating on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 1

    Me too. Boots faster than XP and feels much more zippy. And I am a Vista hater.

  20. Re:Good idea on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 1

    Also Outlook/PDA/Activesync and Autocad. I wish it wasn't so, truly I do.

  21. Re:Compare/Contrast with Apple on "Good Enough" Computers Are the Future · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dyson hoover's are heavy and awful to use. Ask your wife. They may look well engineered but they aint. And truth be told, either are Apple laptops in my opinion.

  22. Re:Already there on F-Secure Suggests Ditching Adobe Reader For Free PDF Viewers · · Score: 1

    Yep for about 2 years here.

  23. Re:Artists react to the PirateBay verdict on Looking Back At Copyright Predictions · · Score: 1
