  1. Adblock or bust on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Till it's got adblock, I don't care if it renders pages before they exist. I don't care if it makes me breakfast or does my laundry. In short, without adblock, it ain't S**T.

  2. Yup on HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray - Is It All in the Name? · · Score: 1

    In a word... Yes.

  3. Re:Done before (20 years ago!) on Low Emission Cars Continue to Gain Popularity · · Score: 1

  4. Ya know... on Scientists Find Brain Cells Linked to Choice · · Score: 1

    I was going to comment, but... awe crap... nevermind.

  5. [Subject Here] on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 1

    Scheduling vacation time to avoid long commutes.
    Excuse me... did we just hit a new low?

  6. What could possible go wrong? on An Alternate Human · · Score: 1

    We'll be meeting these freaks soon...
    Sure. Just look at how well we deal with people with different skin color. Tails won't even get noticed!

  7. Re:Geek Pirates Ahoy? on Best Buy 'Geek Squad' Accused of Pirating Software · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No, but I've got a few as to how this will help the terrorists win! HAHAHAHAHA

  8. Re:Note to JBoss administrative support employees on Oracle to buy JBoss (and others) · · Score: 1

    Note to Oracle...

    Fork You!

  9. Re:Awesome on Blender 2.40 Released · · Score: 1

    Dude man... too much caffine.
    Browbeating someone to attempt to make a point doesn't help them hear you. It just makes you sound like a jerk. Something about honey and flies... I forget.

  10. Re:Space elevator time... on Nanotubes Start to Show their Promise · · Score: 1

    Mmmmmmm... worlds largest sundial :)

  11. Re:Summary. on Microsoft's Music Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, too true.
    thanks

  13. Re:Network-over-powerlines is not new, so... on Japanese Firms Claim 170Mb/s Service Via Powerline · · Score: 1

    I use powerline.
    The "fridge kicking in" problems were solved a while ago. It works well these days. I even get the 14MB/s rates as claimed. 170MB/s is great and all, but I would be happier with 14MB/s if it would come through the power chord for my laptop.

  14. Re:What's the point? on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    You forgot....

    You can do it!, just not on all OS's (Windows)
    You don't contribute, so shut up.
    Write it yourself.
    It's a "feature".
    "Most" people like it that way.

    Which all boil down to basically... Fork Off.

  15. Re:Eco Friendly on Revolutionary Tower in Brazil · · Score: 1

    Turning the levels of a building is by no means a simple thing. Even an efficient low friction setup is going to consume resources in the building and maintenance of it. Be it industrial lubricants or coatings, you don't move big things in an "eco-friendly" way... except perhaps a barge floating down a river I guess.

  16. Eco Friendly on Revolutionary Tower in Brazil · · Score: 1

    Eco friendly?
    Yes, a giant piece of machinery. I'm sure it's powered by solar and greased with vegetable oil.

    Kinda like viewing the grand canyon from the Death Star.

  17. Re:GIMP on Windows vs Linux on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 1

    > Gimp developers, please hear me out: having both interface types would be a huge boon to the project. Remember that one of the goals is to pull Windows users away from Photoshop -- and as a result, Windows eventually. Embrace and extend.

    Exactly. Something that is lost on far too many developers is the fact that usabilty is the single most important "feature" of an application.

    If it wasn't a problem, you wouldn't have so much debate about it.

  18. Re:GIMP on Windows vs Linux on The GIMP Gets Ready for 2.2 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And, as always... the "solution" seems to be people telling you how they work around the problem (instead of admiting it's an issue and fixing it).

    Appearently we're talking to a brick wall, but let's give this one more try....

    Dear GIMP Developers... This is your #1 useabilty issue. YOU may like it, but appearently everyone else HATES it. Perhaps you might consider fixing it rather than telling us (how) to "deal with it".

    I would personally love to use your software. I'd love to get all my friends hooked on your software, but I can't. This single issue alone prevents all of us from adopting your otherwise wonderful application.

  19. No trace on Is The Lone Coder Dead? · · Score: 1

    He left us without a trace. We expected a note, a comment of some sort, but that wasn't his style. He will be missed.

  20. So that means... on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    So Toystory 3 will be a musical?

  21. Dear FCC on FCC Claims Regulatory Power Over Home Computers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dear FCC... PISS OFF!

  22. Re:For the love of..... on USAF Studies Teleportation · · Score: 1

    I've always found it funny... Here's your budget, now spend it... if you don't spend it ALL, we'll want the extra back and we won't give you as much next year. It's the same in the corperate world too. Then we wonder why money gets wasted.

  23. Re:Seems extremely difficult with chemical rockets on After the X Prize · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Funny, that's the same thing they said about the X prize... the problem is too big for such a meager prize. Fortunately it's not really about the prize money.

    If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

  24. On the bright side.... on Star Wars DVD Box Set Released · · Score: 1

    "It really just came down to, there may not be a market when I wanted to bring it out, which was like, three years from now."

    Ok, so he's releasing them 3 years early. Hey, that's just awesume! "Piracy Concerns" are forcing him to give up some of his slow-milk-it mentality.

    Just an other example of the power shifting back to the consumer. I dig it. Give us what we want at a fair price and we'll pay for it (itunes anyone?), or we'll get it some other way.

    I still don't think it would have been hard to release the modified version and the original on the same disk... Put it as a menu option, kinda like "bonus features" or "deleted scenes". Only now it would be "added features and scenes" or "theatrical release".

    Sheesh.
