  1. Re:Stop calling Apple products intuitive on Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only truly intuitive user interface is the nipple. Everything else is learned.

  2. Re:2024?? on NASA Unveils Strategy for Return to the Moon · · Score: 1

    Easy, pushing the date off until 2024 means it's officially Someone Else's Problem (tm). It's far enough in the future that people won't be expecting progress anytime soon, and when Congress pulls the funding for this in 3 years no one will notice. Let's file this in the large scrapheap of overblown "we're going back to space!" announcements.

  3. Re:But OTOH on Desktop Linux on x86 - Adapt or Die · · Score: 1

    For people like me who routinely have folders filled with thousands of images (some of which actually aren't pr0n, I promise), waiting for Nautilus to get around to rendering the window makes it pretty useless.

  4. Re:Monopoly on Google Acquires Picasa, Improves Blogging Tools · · Score: 1

    You can definitely can forward the messages, it's the link marked "forward" right next to "reply".

  5. Re:Consumers have spoken... on Kodak To Stop Selling Film Cameras In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Which Kodak camera are you using? I use a Kodak EasyShare CX6230, and I've never had driver issues. I can plug it into a iBook and iPhoto recognizes it right away, and even other windows machines will treat it as a external drive.

  6. Tight timeline on Macworld Expo Comes Back To Boston in 2004 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    According to the Herald, Macworld is scheduled for two weeks after the opening of the convention center. Given Boston's track record with large state funded construction projects, what do you think the actual chances are that the center will be completed within two weeks of their deadline? :)

  7. Now how is this not stealing? on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Now, the company said, the softwareoffers a choice to the consumer before each purchase: whether to give the commission to the affiliate or to himself in the form of a rebate, with a portion of the rebate going to Morpheus"

    What would happen if I walked into a car dealership, bargained a nice proce for my new Kia, and told the salesperson that instead of him getting a commission, I'm going to take that money as a rebate? Wouldn't that be stealing, or am I missing something here?

  8. Re:About time. on Scientists Switch to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    What about ProEngineerfor Windows and Linux ?

  9. Something Decent on The Battlefield Earth Contest · · Score: 1

    I found the rejection of mysticism and the heroic portrayal of man to be refreshing, but that's just because I'm a Rand junkie :)

  10. Re:Why all Internet access should be taxed on EU Web Tax Proposed · · Score: 1

    I believe this is know as "killing the goose that lays the golden egg". There many other revenue streams open to the government, it isn't dependent on sales tax alone. The booming economy that a un-taxed internet helps sustain translates into greater income/excise/whatever tax revenues in the government's pocket.

  11. Translators on Dialectizer Shut Down · · Score: 4

    Does this mean something like Babelfish would be in violation of copyright laws? And dosen't copyright law allow for parodies of sites?
