  1. Re:Not human on Stone Tool 1.83M Years Old Discovered In Malaysia · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Windows 7 or 8 or whatever will not fail on If Windows 7 Fails, Citrix (Not Linux) Wins · · Score: 3, Informative

    We're telling our customers (large corp. with site wide XP license) to pickup new machines in the next few months, so we can image them with XP. Word's come down that come June, our license terms with MS change and we won't be able to 'downgrade' vista machines after that.

  3. Re:Whisky on Power In Scotland From Tides and Whiskey · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... Highland Park Whisky, Black Bush Whiskey, and Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey.

    All good!

  4. Re:Heinlein, please? on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    Ideally, it'd be 2 almost 2hour long movies, similar to the extended LotR movies. But not a sciffy channel mini-series. Please, God, not that!

    Hah!

  6. Re:I've got a better idea on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    Kenneth Branaugh as Kirk?

    Sweet!

  7. Re:Highlander on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    I liked Bull Durham, Tin Cup, and Dances with Hooves. Can't really see anyone trying to do a sequel to any of them but with Hollywood, never count out the stupidity.

    And OS X/ OS X Server.

  9. Re:It'll be news when he asks Stallman to work on Obama Looking To Symantec CEO For Commerce · · Score: 2, Funny

    Homer: "Why do you look like Caesar Romero?

    Hallucination: "Because you do not know what Caesar Chavez looks like."

  10. Re:Oh great- on Obama Looking To Symantec CEO For Commerce · · Score: 4, Funny

    I like parties. I like to get drunk and take my pants off. Maybe start a fire or go yell at the dolphins at Sea World.

    Naw, Footfall! I wanna' see Michael take off and fry alien baby elephant ass!

    Or Ringworld. It's a straightforward enough story (crash land, have to escape, fights and sex scenes) with great SF graphic scenes. Is something majority of population could 'get' without straining a brain cell.

    I can also see C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner series being a long arc tv show like B5 or Firefly.

  12. Re:Highlander on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    The one cool thing about Kevin Costner; refuses to ever do a sequel. Wish others in Hwoodland did that.

  13. Re:I've got a better idea on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Star Trek is turning into a Shakespeare kind of production. Within 50 years, they'll be discussing who's Kirk or Spock is better and then Trouble With Tribbles will be performed in the park every 4th of July.

  14. Re:backups on WD's Monster 2TB Caviar Green Drive, Preview Test · · Score: 1

    I have 750 GB of backed up DVD movies for my Apple TV. Sure, another 1 TB drive will work for backup for now, but I'll hit the limits of a single drive for my collection in the next few months (just got both seasons of ROME and all of Deadwood for Xmas).

  15. Re:so, to summarize... on Windows 7 Taskbar Not So Similar To OS X Dock After All · · Score: 1

    I thought it took all Mac user's cancer and gave it to Steve?

  16. Re:LOL on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unless you're filming a bike with cards stuck in the spokes.

  17. Re:CSI NY on Daemon · · Score: 1

    And that famous love scene.

    Aaaaaaugh!

  18. Re:What? So Microsoft should give up? No way! on Microsoft To Exit the Zune Business? · · Score: 1

    Word 5.1a rocks!

    (on my old, pre-10.5 Mac)

    *sigh*

  19. Re:Committees aren't cool on Microsoft To Exit the Zune Business? · · Score: 1

    Is like how Verizon has crippled phones on it's service. I hate having to pay through the nose to get a photo off the beast. Is one reason I will be picking up an iPhone once my Verizon subscription is finished.

  20. Re:this comes as no surprise... on Microsoft To Exit the Zune Business? · · Score: 1

    Concerning all the confusion MS put out with the Zune and other music services: MS iPod Parody

  21. Re:Performance issues... on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    I still have my Quadra 650 (33Mhz 040), maxed out on RAM/HD/Vidio card. Machine's never died on me and I just can't bring myself to toss it. Hell, it fires up PShop 2.5 faster than my Dual G5 tower.

    Good old hardware shouldn't be tossed. If I can find enough desk space at home, I'll set it up for my daughter to play Lemmings and Marathon I.

  22. Re:Performance issues... on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    Never used DOS. Took Intro to DOS as a Freshman and, since no intro to Mac, Desktop Publishing I on Mac. 4 weeks in, we were still renaming and moving files in DOS and were working on a newspaper in DTP class. Dropped DOS class.

  23. Re:Performance issues... on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mac OS7 had a way of creating a RAM disk from installed RAM. Was sweet way to run Photoshop at top speed back then, along with the dedicated Photoshop video card. Such specialization back then.
