  1. Re:To all those that bashed my 4 months as a Mac U on How Apple Had a Spectacular Year · · Score: 1

    wow got anything better then 3 typical non descriptive buzzwords?

    I actually like apple products but am not in a position to buy their typically overpriced and under powered products, and I get them last gen (if I am lucky) but if your going to sell anyone on something that has a tiny fraction of a brain your going to have to come up with something better than a used car ad

    Why is it innovative? pocket pc's and all in 1 units have been around for decades, explain

    Why is it solid? are you talking about build quality? and which models? the Imac seems very solid, the macbooks seems a little flimsy, the mini will crack if you look at it funny, explain

    Why is it amazing? Looks, maybe but that apple look has been around for a while now and its starting to look dated, OS same, user experience, sorry but I get just as aggravated at OSX as I do any other OS, just in different ways, explain

    You need your tech to work now? I dont see a problem my mac takes just as long to cold boot as my windows 7 machine and linux mint beats them all by seconds, applications well if its not in box on OSX I typically spend more time and more money hunting down something similar to whats already out there in windows land, explain (and quit buying crap computers at office max)

  2. yea whatever on Kuwait Not Banning DSLR Cameras After All · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    bullshit bullshit

    and a few days later whoops on the back page between used car ad's ...

    you got your headline, you got your sale, your happy, so why even bother?

    oh thats right so you can be responsible! even though you cant bother to even check 1 fact before printing money =(

    they should print this crap on softer paper, then we could get some use out of it for wiping our ass on the already printed shit

  3. Re:From the No-shit-sherlock department on Oxford Scientists Say Dogs Are Smarter Than Cats · · Score: 1

    I dunno, I trained my cat to play fetch with drinking straws last Sunday, wasn't too hard, he is also trained to use the litter box and only scratch on the post

  4. not where I live on AT&T Wireless Data Still Growing At 1000% · · Score: 1

    I started my current job 3 years ago, about the exact same time I got my new phone, for those 3 years my phone has been sitting in a dead zone or as I like to call it, my office

  5. not that surprising on Comparing Windows and Ubuntu On Netbooks · · Score: 1

    I have not messed with the netbook remix much, but in this day and age even the lightweight systems are still pretty heavy, and in my case ...

    both my desktops actually take longer to boot ubuntu than windows 7, though its barley noticeable
    I still have some little issues with flash video in linux, even with the latest n greatest nvidia drivers

    but these are little things that unless you really want to be anal about it you would not notice but on occasion

    who says the death row people need food water and shelter, wanna be free, have fun

  10. Re:Seen better robots at Disney World on Robot Actress Makes Stage Debut In Japan · · Score: 1

    20 years ago, ever been to the hall of presidents? they are not that less conviencing and that is 1960's "robot" tech

    speaking of which how is this the first? 50 years of animatronics anyone?

  11. Re:Maybe it is a problem with the Windows formatti on Windows Phone Permanently Modifies MicroSD Cards, Warns Samsung · · Score: 2, Funny

    for the slashdot crowd it should be nothing to hook it up to a mcu and zero it out in spi bitbang mode, so its only permanent for most people, but your right its flash, the only way to really fubar one is to burn out the gates

  12. Re:Considering... on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    maybe if they had faster systems we could get more done per trip and do less insanely expensive trips

  13. Re:Considering... on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    because they have already done it in the early years, it does not take a degree to notice past performance

  14. Re:Considering... on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    yea that is silly, I understand that it takes time and money to beef up a chip to deal with the harshness of space, but I know they can do better than a 386 in 22 fkin years, all in one cpu's in a microchip were not even 22 years old when the 386 came out, and it didnt take that long for them to be in shuttles

  15. Re:no win scenario on UK Twitter Users Declare 'I'm Spartacus' · · Score: 1

    and what happens when they send a couple local uniforms and see the guy isnt full of crap and sparks off a hostage situation

    I bet if it was your life you would take it very seriously, and after you found out some retard pudwacker was making a joke you would be pissed enough to want to beat him with a board, well you cant do that so you take him to court

  16. Re:Microsoft Wanted it that way on Kinect Hacked, Adafruit Bounty Won · · Score: 1

    but they make a mediocre mouse, like the one I have, its too light and a bit jittery, but 2.50$ at a computer show meh

    they give it to china?

  18. Re:Instructables is open? on DIY Projects, Communities and Cultures · · Score: 1

    I signed up for instructables well before the pro program, I never saw a guarantee of PDF file in the TOS

    um yea it has not changed 1 bit if you just use your free login, pro memberships get bonus features

    so please dont say any more, until you at least put some effort into it

  21. here is a problem I have with these cards on NVIDIA's New Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Tested · · Score: 1

    Its not really driving down the cost of the old cards as much as they used to, how much does this thing cost, and why does a 8800GTX still cost tween 200$ and 400$ and its not uncommon to see GTX280's for nearly 500 bucks

    yes I know they have cheaper cards, I have a GTS250 but still

  22. Re:Amiga on Recalling Windows 1.0 At 25 Years · · Score: -1, Troll

    thanks douche, I searched the Amiga 500, since they did not exist in my part of the country I didnt even know there was one before the 500

    so much for DOMINATING THE 80's!!!!

  23. Re:Another GUI failure on Recalling Windows 1.0 At 25 Years · · Score: 1

    well I guess that depends, if you ran it on a PC (I guess you can run it on a pc) or XT then yes it would only switch, on an AT it would run programs concurrently

  24. Re:Amiga on Recalling Windows 1.0 At 25 Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    Amiga didnt even come out till 1987 and by then there was more than a half dozen revamps to the mac and mac os totaling in the millions of machines

    lets not confuse the facts with misty eyed nostalgia, Amiga rocked, to bad no one bought many

  25. Re:Another GUI failure on Recalling Windows 1.0 At 25 Years · · Score: 1

    I remember it being text based, multitasking, and used quite a bit... and not a failed GUI, for starters it would have to have graphics
