  1. Re:Happy New Year on Leap Second At The End of 2005 · · Score: 1

    Realtor has been a plain ol' word for many years. Do you have a reference?

    That's what these people want you to think in order to get people to use their services preferentially! It's most certainly not a plain ol' word!

  2. Re:I'm watching this right now on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    It's pretty obvious these people are as thick as the proverbial 2 short blanks.
    Mr kettle, will you accept a call from a Mr. Pot?

    Frankenstein was sewn together. Not cut apart.

    Umm, Frankenstein's Monster was made of random body parts, not the Doctor himself!
    Poor old Peter Cushing...

  7. Re:Flash drives don't last forever on USB FlashDrives The New PC? · · Score: 1

    Would be nice too if Apple would fix OS X so it didn't reset all the #@*& USB buses 1.5 seconds into boot, so we could boot X off our flash drives.

    True, but you can boot OS X from a FW flash drive.

    If you find them, that is evidence for your theory; if you don't, evidence against.

    The lack of something in the fossil record is not evidence against a theory; it's just proof that you're not looking hard enough.

  10. Re:And also... on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    How is the demand infinite?

    Ummm.. the grandparent poster said that supply was effectively infinite, not demand.

  11. Re:Watch out for Puff Daddy on Dell Launches Flash Music Player · · Score: 1

    Ditty and Diddy have extremely similar phonetics. In colloquial usage, people will pronounce them identically

    This may be true in the U.S./Canada, but not true for the rest of the English-speaking world.

    Whooooooooooosh

    That's the sound of you missing the point.

    Check out this (abysmal) photo for more stopwatch fun. http://www.appleinsider.com/image.php?i=ipodnano23 &id=1266

    I hope the new functionality of the nano will be availabe to the older iPods in the form of a firmware update soon!

    The new search is kinda snazzy

    Wow, you actually managed to download a copy of iTunes 5 before the servers melted down?

  15. Re:I feel so sorry for you! on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1
    That is because our entire city structure (suburban sprawl) was based on the presumption of cheap gas,

    And who's to blame for that? You reap what you sow.

    I find it amazing that jets like the 747 don't have a way to detect a loss of cabin pressure

    They do have such a system -- what do you think triggers the masks to drop from the ceiling?

    I'm guessing the plane wasn't on autopilot at the time, and I'm not sure allowing the pressure system to switch it on is such a good idea.

    I'd probably define the laws of physics before creating the universe!

    Of course the problem of this approach is that it will not really work.

    There is no "us". There's just some (power-hungry?) guy speaking in "our" name.

    That is logical nonsense. How can there be no "us", while there can be someone speaking in "our" name?

    Always nice to read such well-reasoned arguments on Slashdot.

  25. Re:Other People's Movies on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 1
    I wouldnt want to watch video in public. I've seen someone watching a video on a PSP, and the person sitting beside her kept trying to steal a glance at the screen without being too obvious. If I was her and I caught someone doing that I'd be pissed off!

    Why would you be annoyed? You're still watching it, and your enjoyment shouldn't be affected because some of the photons that would otherwise escape to infinity (or get absorbed by some nearby atoms) are instead going into someone elses retinas.
