  1. PPC Linux on What To Do With an Old G5 Tower? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yellow Dog probably has the best support, but you could always look at the PPC version of Ubuntu.

  2. Re:Why cut prices? on Sony Finally Turning a Profit On PS3s · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could do it in Singapore, if the 150$ is USD :P

  3. Re:Hmm.. on The Pirate Bay's Founding Organization Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    But they could have at least TRIED

  4. Re:In Memoriam eh? on The Pirate Bay's Founding Organization Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Nope, they gave up and used his death as an excuse.

  5. Re:Let me get this straight... on In Ukraine, IT Freelancing Under Threat · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I don't think he has seen the US tax code, which I would like to note changes every year.

    If German tax code is more complicated, then I really feel for Germans.

  6. Re:I dont need it. on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    Your sarcasm is noted, but what you are saying rings 100% true to me. Much rather be playing myself than watching someone else play. No matter how great they are at or how bad I am at it.

  7. Re:If anything on Israeli Startup Claims SSD Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Could be they are just trying to counter all the unfounded bad opinions that seem to exist about SSD drives. For one, I have met more than one IT engineer who seems to believe that a SSD will fail(and be rendered completely unusuable) after 1 or 2 years of regular use :/

  8. Re:Price is the biggest issue on Israeli Startup Claims SSD Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Probably just a typo or maybe they just trying to express how really expensive it is? :P

  9. Re:Expensive on Updated Mac Mini Aims For the Living Room · · Score: 1

    Look at the software they are running and that would answer your question. And ubuntu isn't as visually appealing nor as known as the mac OSX. Tried to do the same thing myself. Installed Ubuntu on some machines for the inlaws, they complain of not knowing what to do to use it. But, they are very happy with OSX...

  10. Re:I dont need it. on Digitally Filtering Out the Drone of the World Cup · · Score: 1

    Exactly, where is the fun in watching? Its like watching someone play any video game. Maybe interesting for the first few minutes, but it qets boring pretty quickly.

  11. Re:Don't worry, be happy! on Android Rootkit Is Just a Phone Call Away · · Score: 1

    You cannot fix stupid... If a user installs it and accepts everything and the kitchen sink(even if they mean to or not) then there just is no protection against that.

  12. Re:I call bullshit. on Google Reportedly Ditching Windows · · Score: 1

    It is a staggered rollout. They are not reinstalling current machines(although there may be a push later on for this), they are only not allowing newly purchased machines to have Windows on them.

  13. Former HP Employee on HP Explains Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive · · Score: 1

    Its easy to see how print cartridges make up the vast majority of HP's income. Its hard to imagine the chips in the cartridges being so freaking important, if they are, they why don't they just build them into the printer? And let the ink, be just that, ink.

  14. Re:Dare I say it? on Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke · · Score: 1

    But you have to admit, the burning of the gas at hell's gate is a heck of alot cleaner than 40 years of the gases pouring into the atmosphere.
