  1. Re:What's wrong with Quicktime? on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1
    QuickTime has that annoying "Why Go Pro?" dialog

    That's easy, a one-time deal. Set your clock 10 years ahead, open Quicktime and answer no to the ad. Reset your clock back to today, and voila! No more ad for 10 years.

    Next we get the shot of the APU's (Zion mechs)

    I have a shrine to Ganeesha in the back of the store.

    You ran right past my lame attempt at being humourous.

    The best I can find today are ~$800 for 146GB hot-swap SCA Cheetahs.

    Damn straight. From this day forth, any who claim that $LINUX_DESKTOP is just too ugly, will be required to use BeOS Max Edition.

    You have to think about how big your audience would be here...

    Is that how big each person in the Slashdot crowd is, or how many would find Viagra useful?

    There's probably a joke here. Anyone know where?

    Does it call the CDC to request a quarantine? Leprosy is pretty serious, you know.

    Actually, it was ~$22-25 total, IIRC. I know it wasn't over $30. Pretty good deal, grey logo from 1991, has the long detachable cable.

    especially when the Geek starts calling everyone 'bitch'

    OK, bitch, this is your Yamaha stereo client. You can listen to .38 Special while you do the laundry, bitch.

    What's that, bitch? You want to watch Dora the Explorer? The remote isn't programmed, bitch. Go tell your bitch mommy that we'll get the bitch programmed and then you can watch that bitch Dora. You got me, bitch?

    (I think ??? involves running away very fast, but doesn't it always?)

    Wouldn't that make step 4 be, "Wake up in Emergency Room because the geek tried physical exertion"?

    on a UPS. That solves the flashing 12:00 problem most of the time.

    Wow! How'd you get it to program your VCR? My UPS just sits there giving off heat and beeping sometimes.

    I picked up an IBM Model M off Ebay for ~$12US + S&H. Not only is it THE keyboard, but the keycaps are made to be moved. Easy to rearrainge to match whatever keymap you choose in software.

  19. Sooo... on Athlon 64 Debuts · · Score: 1

    Athlon 64 is copper, and Athlon 64 FX is fiber optic?

    Sometimes the right tool, despite all the modern technolgical advances, is still a rock.

    Also, I believe there is way to much "Burger King" GUI programming going on in Linux.

    The product is so underdone it's still cold, and you get sick if you eat it?
