  1. $.99 Canadian?!? on Puretracks.com Enters The Online Music Fray · · Score: 1

    Wow! That's a great price! Isn't that something like $.02 US?

  2. Re:Idle on Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway · · Score: 1

    Actually, he is my favorite Python. Always has been. How about Veronica in "Party Hints by Veronica" or Mr. Badger concluding by putting his finger up his nose (he'll tell you where the bomb is for a pound). He was always good at playing slightly racier women. I got a chance to see his show in Minneapolis. Seeing him dressed up as Dolly Taylor and singing the "opposite" of the Penis Song was a riot.

  3. Re:Why are we still using GIF? on GIF Patent Prepares to Expire · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree with you, but people will be reluctant to use PNG until IE properly supports PNG alpha transparency. I give them another five years or so :)

  4. Re:The shuttle should be permanently grounded on NASA To Try To Resume Flights By Fall · · Score: 1

    There's nothing spooky about it. If the shuttle is going to fail, it's most likely to be at liftoff when there's tons of high explosives all around or in the fire of reentry. Your math leaves more than a little bit to be desired too. There's been two accidents in 113 flights. That's a 1.77% chance. Granted, that is two accidents too many, but space flight is dangerous. There will never be space flight that doesn't involve some degree of danger.

    If you want a new shuttle design, call your representatives and senators and tell them that you want them to give more money to NASA.

  5. Re:Expert opinions disagree. on Statistics, Elections, Frustration · · Score: 1
    Here are some facts to chew on:

    Fact: Voting "irregularities" are not uncommon in Florida, especially south Florida.

    Fact: This ballot had been used in previous elections.

    Fact: This ballot was (theoretically) designed to make it easier for older voters.

    Fact: Supervisors for both Democrats and Republicans had to approve this ballot. If it is so obviously confusing, why did no one complain before?

    There was a great voter turnout in what will be a historic election. The sad fact is that all the griping that's going on will do more to dissuade voters from going to the polls in the future than anything else. Now there are even accusations in my home state (WI) that Democrats offered homeless people cigarettes to vote for Gore. Sheesh.

  6. Re:Yes, but... on Linux Games Not Selling · · Score: 1

    99% of the mods? Have you actually tried? The vast majority of the mods I've tried, including Jailbreak, Requiem, and countless others are released as QVMs (and thus will work on any OS Quake III runs on). Others, like Rocket Arena 3, come with a Linux-specific version. Also regarding NVIDIA, I'm using their Linux drivers under XFree86 4.0.x and they work great, just as well as their Windows counterparts on my TNT. Before you complain, at least make sure your facts are straight.
