    Instead, try to keep up with the demands and needs of users.

  4. Like the computer in Star Trek on Debugging in Plain English? · · Score: 1

    Sounds kinda like the ship computer in STTNG.

    Jordi: Computer, why didn't the warp field form?
    Computer: There was insuffient anti-mater to cause a stable reaction.

  5. Any other cases like this? on Mini PC Grows Up? Shuttle XPC Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I've been looking around for these Micro/Mini PC cases recently and have only found the Antec Aria case for sale.

    Does anyone know of a place to get other cases like this, with or without the motherboards. Thanks.

  6. Re:Ah hah on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I ended up going to hotbot, which was the search engine I used before google came along. But that was like 4 years ago. Before that I think I used altavista and then yahoo before that and then before that there was lynx and goofer.

  7. Ah hah on Latest MyDoom Variant Gives Google Problems · · Score: 4, Funny

    I thought I was going nuts, I've never had google give me problems.

    I found it hard to remember the names of other search engines that I could use though.

  8. That old saying. on BayStar Sets Lawyers on SCO · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What goes around comes around.

  9. Re:Na, no need for two computers. on Gentoo 2004.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Uh, there is no need for Ctrl when in console mode. I guess you've been in X windows too much.

  10. Re:GOOG as stock ticker on Google Sets IPO Pricing · · Score: 1

    Or, GGLE

  11. So theoretically... on Gentoo 2004.2 Released · · Score: 1

    So the way I see it, all I have to do is emerge sync and emerge system and then I'll have a 2004.2 system? I currently installed from 2004.1.

    Annoyingly enouugh, I just wrote a CD for 2004.1 the other day.

  12. Re:Better wording on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    Good point, that could definately be true as well. In that case, we would at least find some archeological goodies.

  13. Re:Better wording on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    There is a STTNG episode "The Chase" where they discover the prior existance of beings from 5 billion years ago who they themselves found that there was no other life in their galaxy at the time.

    That episode has always made me wonder if we could be in the same predicament. It could be that we're just "first". I'm sure that it would be wishful thinking for some people, but I would find it unfortunate.

  14. This probably means more profit for AT&T on AT&T to Leave Residential Business · · Score: 1

    Most phone carriers make more money off of businesses to help subsidise lower costs for residential users.

  15. Walk into Byte Burger... on Storing Data In Cow Guts? · · Score: 1

    I can see it now.
    I'll have a 5 terabyte burger, large fries and a coke.

  16. Knowing when to break laws? on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 1

    If we are talking about truely sentient robots, then that should define them as being able to choose. Choose whether they want to follow the laws that govern them or not.

    After all, sentient robots may look at humans and see that we do not always follow the laws that man has laid out to govern us.

    We'll see I guess.

  17. Re:Makes me wish.... on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean? It was just a site with a lot of information about Philip Glass. Like all the other fan type sites in the mid to late 90s. You probably did one too.

  18. Makes me wish.... on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Reading this reminds me of when I ran an experiment on my Philip Glass Library website back in 1997. For a period of 3-4 weeks, I blocked Internet Explorer, then about 2 months after that, I blocked Netscape for about 3-4 weeks.

    The email responses I received from each set of browsers users was very different. On average, Netscape users seemed more educated and had a longer average word and email length than IE users. most IE users had a 1 or 2 line email where as Netscape users usually where 2 paragraphs at least.

    I should release that study sometime.

  19. Re:Oh sweet honey yes on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 5, Funny

    The second coming of Jesus.

    I haven't heard about that one. Who is publishing it? Does anyone have any screenshots?

  20. A comparison chart. on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy · · Score: 1

    I think it would be valueable if someone developed a chart of common tasks (saving files, opening programs, writing a resume, etc.) done in multiple operating environments (Windows, MacOS X, Gnome and KDE let's say).

    Then the chart could show the number of steps required for each operation and maybe a difficulty level. I know this has been done before, but that other time it wasn't doing it based on tasks, it was looking at the design of the GUI more.

  21. Re:That's fine as long as... on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Um, and how is this offtopic? I've gotten the feeling lately that someone is abusing their moderator points to lower people's scores.

  22. That's fine as long as... on Gates Predicts DVD Obsolete In 10 Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    there is a way to transfer the existing format to whatever is next without any data loss.

    I imagine that the next thing will be little cylindrical holographic storage devices. Or something to that effect. Where would you put the label though?

  23. Here we go... on Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed · · Score: 3, Funny

    In soviet russia, the dots eat you.

  24. Re:in 1990 it ended because on 120 Years of Electronic Music · · Score: 0

    Maybe you're being sarcastic, but you should check out the software "Reason" by Propellerheads Software.
