  1. Re:Side Effects? on Hospitals Look to a Nuclear Tool to Fight Cancer · · Score: 1

    Best of wishes to you and your family, and may your son recover in full.

  2. Re:My Choice on Is the Dell XPS One Better than the Apple iMac? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm a Mexican from Mexico City.

    The auto situation here is quite strange, here you can find some very expensive cars like Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, even Porsches and Ferraris somedays; and those are stuck in traffic alongside really small economy cars like the Daewoo Matiz (sold here as Pontiac), Hyundai Atos (sold as Dodge), or the Nissan Tsuru (which is discontinued everywhere else in the world)... And next year they will start importing FAW cars from China...

  4. Re:My Choice on Is the Dell XPS One Better than the Apple iMac? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Toyota Camry is considered a luxury car where I live, you insensitive clod!

    (not joking: while the elite here drives BMWs and Mercedes like everywhere else, cars are so expensive here that a Camry is "upper middle-class only" and a VW Jetta is considered a "nice family car")

  5. Re:Delta is perhaps on CEO of Red Hat Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Almost every large service-oriented company has fully dedicated websites dedicated to whiners... Mine has 3, including a yahoo group...

    Even then, the whiners don't ammount to even .05% of the customer base

  6. Re:The Gist on Tunguska Blast Was a Small Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Depends on the shows or movies you watch... Tokyo always seems to be plagued with radioactive gigantic monsters or rampanging robots with teen pilots

  7. Re:Not that exciting on Zen and the Art of Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    flamingo dancing Man, I don't know if you were intentionally trying to be funny, but
    Flamingos != Flamenco

    In any case, thanks for the funny image of flamingos dancing flamenco...

    ...not to mention 21-24 frets (depending on model)

  9. Re:STOP MAKING FREAKIN PREQUELS on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    "Oh BTW, Clone Wars". There is lots of things in the Hobbit that are worthwhile to do in WETA-enhanced cinema
    How about:

    1- Oh BTW, the Black Forest
    2- Oh BTW, escape from the Goblin King
    3- Oh BTW, Beorn the Bear-man
    4- Oh BTW, the Battle of the Five Armies
    5- Oh BTW, A FRIGGIN' HUGE, EVIL DRAGON! ... Did I mention A FRIGGIN' HUGE, EVIL DRAGON!?
  10. Re:Not really tech gifts... on Tech Gifts for the Holidays · · Score: 1

    You can get everything you need for your DIY electric guitar here: http://www.allparts.com/

    No, I don't work for them, own stock or anything...

  11. Re:Hmm. on Boeing 12,000lb Chemical Laser Set to Fry Targets · · Score: 1

    First, stop being so arrogant. You don't KNOW that you're right. You merely THINK you are. That applies to all of us. Remember that. When I don't KNOW something, I investigate reliable sources. Unfortunately for you and your argument, most reliable sources agree with shmlco.

    And no, news sources from the USA do not count as reliable when the USA is one of the parties in conflict. Neither is Al-Jazeera et. al., for the same reasons.
  12. Re:Same Old SP1 on Vista SP1 Release Candidate Available · · Score: 1

    There is no software to sync my Palm PDA in Vista... only a BETA release that's not even recommended for my model.

    That one incompatibility was enough for me to avoid Vista.

  13. Re:Bangkok on UPS Using Software To Eliminate Left Turns · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, they have a toll elevated road there... I remember seeing BMWs and Audis in the elevated road and Opel Corsas and motorcycles (and Tuk Tuks, of course) in the regular road...

    Of course, me and my wife were ready for that and used rode the Metro, Bus and Canal whenever we could, and thus our experience was much richer...

  14. Re:Idiots on KDE and KOffice Rebuke OOXML, GNOME Dithers · · Score: 1

    Every once in a while, however, you meet a predator/bully who cannot be challenged via _any_ means except a war to the death It worked for Ender, but it doesn't mean it will work for you!

  15. Re:Jesus on Robots That Bounce on Water · · Score: 1

    By converting to judaism, can others get these talents, or does it only pass from the mother? I think the prerequisites for that prestige class are a lot more strict... Besides the (racial?) requirements, you probably need some divine feats... not to mention the strict alignment restrictions...

    All in all, you are better off taking a few levels of sorcerer...
  16. Re:Some advice a nurse gave me... on Bar Codes Keep Surgical Objects Outside Patients · · Score: 1

    But thanks for accusing a stranger of lying, for no particular reason... Anytime! Thanks for overreacting to a comment meant as a light-hearted jab...

    Anyway, I'll be sure to make my wife bring me a marker next time I have to get some surgery (hopefully not soon)

  19. Re:I've always disliked that argument on Open Source 'Sage' Takes Aim at High End Math Software · · Score: 1

    A lot of us believe that software should not be patentable.

    Most of us believe that software should be copyrightable.

    Where's the strawman?

  20. Re:What about PDAs? on The Cult of Kindle · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try reading an entire novel on your PDA. The battery won't last through the entire book yet it will with one of these. Ever since I got my Palm Zire (Im on my second now), my "books read per year" has improved greatly.

    Grant you, the small screen and 320x320 resolution takes time to get used to, but I can read almost any format (some need converting, but that's quite easy), but its cheaper than the Kindle and I can read any book I want, not only those that Amazon wants to sell me at a paperback price.

    C'mon moderators! You know better than to mod twitter up!

    Nah, I would say they will release MS Office 2009 for IPhone

    It would be much more profitable...

  23. Re:well, there is a simple solution for that on Postal Service Surcharge Could Slash Netflix Profit · · Score: 1

    I can see some problems with your proposal, but it deserves to be heard and discussed.

    Moderators, could you mod this up to 1?

  24. Re:well, there is a simple solution for that on Postal Service Surcharge Could Slash Netflix Profit · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But then either one of these two things would happen:

    1- The downloaded files would have enough DRM on them to make them unusable

    2- The MPAA would shut down Netflix in about two seconds

    Hopefully this wont become mandatory for job applications, like credit reports are in some cases...
