  1. Re:brick and "mortal" stores on Borders Books, Dead At 40 · · Score: 1

    heh, last time that happened to me I responded "this isn't 1982, I can order it my self, do you know where I can find a decent book store? maybe one that is not half of a coffee shop and carries books?"

  2. Re:A few years from now the Internet will be censo on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Computers - Taking Away Jobs on A Tale of Two Countries · · Score: 0

    the real face took for fucking ever to count out 63 cents cause you paid for a gallon of milk with a fiver, only after talking to the 4 other people in front of you like they were long lost family, and its 5 after work and you got to take a shit!

    thats why

    scan the damn barcode swipe and leave, I have better places to be than in line at the market

  4. Re:Why build in such a hot area? on Inside Las Vegas' Biggest Data Centre · · Score: 1

    I dont see how that works, in this case heat (the scarce thing in the cold enviroment) is a waste product to be disposed of

    but also vegas is surrounded by flat empty land, perfect when you want a giant metal shed and a fence

  5. Re:Serious question on Test Driving GNU Hurd, With Benchmarks Against Linux · · Score: 2

    yes cause GE has never done anything unique in the companies history ever

  11. Re:The most famous, but least know is.... on Understanding the Payoffs From Investing In Space Flight · · Score: 1

    why cause they bought a computer in the 60's? so did a lot of organizations but I don't hear anyone saying post grains or mobile oil shat out the pc industry

  12. Re:Article is kind of TOO DAMM LATE on Understanding the Payoffs From Investing In Space Flight · · Score: 1

    yes cause dealing with problems that effect thousands of people are less important than some dingleberry floating in space for the umteenth time

  13. Re:Eh on Understanding the Payoffs From Investing In Space Flight · · Score: 1

    which is even more reason to let public sector space flight die

  14. Re:Eh on Understanding the Payoffs From Investing In Space Flight · · Score: 1

    without the small package transistors, and integrated circuits already in development, that would not be possible

  18. Re:64-bit is a misfeature on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    that's kind of my point, I dunno 1998? and it was a decade old workstation then

  19. Re:Old news for linux users? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    I do a bit more than browser + flash thanks

  20. Re:Old news for linux users? on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    does anyone use 64 bit linux? I tried but tossed that idea out the window when every single thing I wanted to do required me to be a code compiling madman linux guru, and that was earlier this year ...

  21. Re:64-bit is a misfeature on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    I cant speak for the op, but I have not heard that term in a while ... in a nutshell you can take your 16/18/24 bit app (depending on what it was running on) and shoehorn it into 32 bit space if you had a bitchy OS/System that could not deal with it

    though the last time anyone had a real issue with it was in the early 90's as mac's have been 32 bit since the (very) late 80's and MS finally went (full)32 bit with windows 95

  22. Re:64-bit is a misfeature on Firefox Is Going 64-Bit: What You Need To Know · · Score: 1

    agreed heck even now with just this 1 page open its sucking down durn near 60 megs, which is quite impressive considering this same page on my mac + linux ppc + a stripped down bare bones gecko browser is only taking 11 megs

  23. Re:You serious? on A High-Bandwidth Interplanetary Connection · · Score: 0

    cause they are not thinking about how to do it here, which is totally different than a line of site irda bullshit idea (which is fucking stupid in the first place, a laser will diffuse to be larger than the planet you want to aim for)

    its a simple matter of quit wasting our time and money for these mankind space cloud ideas and lets fucking finish something down here

  24. yea go for it on A High-Bandwidth Interplanetary Connection · · Score: 1

    Interplanetary IRDA is just as dumb and useless as it is here for the exact same reasons

  25. fine by me on Ubisoft Hops On the Online Pass Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    I wont touch a ubisoft game because of their retarded DRM stunts
    fuck sony
    THQ? what do they make aside from crap wrestling and movie games, and the occasional total shit port to another system (road rash 64 pops to mind)

    And yes EA I am still pissed that nearly 10 years ago I bought Tiger Woods Golf for my pretty new palm 5 (and it was a great game), but you stole from me around 6 months later. (there is a cd key but it does not work with the game, you go to a long dead website, enter that seed, and get the current key for your seed+date or something, so you could not use the same key over and over again, which I might add is a real pain in the ass on a device without persistent storage)
