  1. Re:Not on the iPhone on Stop the Math Press's Presses — Knuth Announces iTex · · Score: 1

    It was rejected, but Apple did their usual flip flopping and approved it. With the help of iForce, my psychic powers tell me it'll be rejected again (and re-approved) all in the next week.

  2. Re:I want to on Sony Finally Turning a Profit On PS3s · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Feel free, the rougher the better. Unless you're fat and ugly. On another note, I agree with CaptainNerdCave @ "Why cut prices?" - I would like the original functionality that was planned returned rather than a cheaper unit.

  3. Re:Ad-Supported? on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 1

    Just don't forget Peerblock :P

  4. HD Sources on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So not only will I be paying $9.99 but I'll also be watching ads? Hmm... no.

  5. Headache on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 1

    Just reading the comments gives me a horrible headache.

  6. Re:I've always really liked that idea on What US Health Care Needs · · Score: 1

    So what do you all consider catastrophic? Just a few weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed, it was just an outpatient procedure. Cost me 32 grand because I can't afford insurance (I'm out of work, thanks to the economy).

  7. Ew... native ftl on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    Stick with a web application. As someone who worked in shipping, it is much easier to do your work. I'm just confused what this ticketing system is about? Unless you can do an AS/400 app (which is what I prefer).

  8. Not really that new.. on What Game Devs Should Learn From EVE · · Score: 1

    A lot of game designers have had elected teams facilitate communication between the dev team and the player base, for example DAoC with their Team Lead program. But $$ will win out, so in the end this will just be a glorified move to make people think CCP is really listening to the playerbase.

  9. Re:$380? on Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS · · Score: 1

    TFA describes it as a notebook for the most part, aside from it's Eee branding. The Slashdot post says notebook. Where in the hell did you get netbook? :P

  10. Re:the way i see it on Why Are There No Popular Ultima Online-Like MMOs? · · Score: 1

    It's a moot point, there is a lot of WoW content that has been reverse engineered and are now running on hundreds of shard servers, some with several thousand players playing :) Heck, I just re-upp'd to WoW and once my 7 day free subscription ends I'll probably switch my client to run on a shardserver and be done with it :)

  11. Comes with jobs, sometimes.. on Fingerprint Requirement For a Work-Study Job? · · Score: 1

    A lot of companies use integrated suites of hardware/software for timekeeping purposes - a prime example would be Kronos. It does help lower costs on average, but I must say I hate the software part of it :P

  12. Re:Free Kaspersky in the package, too... on Inside the Windows 7 Launch Party Pack · · Score: 1

    Also, I might as well list out what we got in addition to Kaspersky: Napkins Balloons Streamers Balloons A puzzle Playing cards A poster Stand up card display Windows 7 Ultimate Signature Edition (32bit / 64bit) Free Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (download, starting Oct. 22) Various other free/discounted software offers Did I mention we got free Win7 retail before most other people? :P
