  1. How long... on Full-Text Audio Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    before we have a "video" tab on google? :)

  2. Re:It's ironic... on Acacia Steps Up Content-Transfer Patent Claims · · Score: 3, Funny

    "It'd suck if this caused a damaging blow to the porn industry."

    Couldn't help it...

  3. Re:Well, let's see on Whither America's Technological Edge? · · Score: 1

    I'd say that innovation is more or less equal in both countries. The problem lies in what is visible. Our technology goes across the Pacific (or the Atlantic) and is adopted there way before here.

  4. Re:BIOS password on Gateway Puts Wasted Cycles to Work · · Score: 1

    Booting from any device other than the primary hard disk requires a BIOS administrator password. Changing the password without knowing the old password requires opening the case, which the sales personnel are trained to recognize.

    Or so you think...
    maybe there's a reason they're working at the Gateway Store...

  5. Re:Better test on Human vs Computer Intelligence · · Score: 1

    That would be beyond human inteligence...

  6. Re:Good example for TV: on Getting Started In Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or even better, show off Phoenix! It's so purdy and fast... :)

  7. Re:WTF? on Adobe Finds No Elcomsoft-Cracked E-Books · · Score: 1

    Heard of fair use? Maybe after legitimatly purchasing a book you might want to put it on your PDA that doesn't support Adobe's format, so you port it to plain text. Is *that* stealing?

  8. All present and accounted for -- always. on 5 Predictions for 2012 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great...can't skip work and go on the Duff Factory tour...

    unless I leave my cell phone at home :)

    "No, man. You do *not* want to take this to the next level..."

  12. Re:XPC? on Review of the New Shuttle XPC Chassis · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was chosen to confuse people like you.

  13. Re:Why, why on Escher Paintings with Lego Bricks · · Score: 1

    Yeah...then you'd see posters from /. getting Prizes for how much time they spend thinking up witty remarks for fp. :)

  14. Now... on Real PDA Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    Now they just need to fix the largest problem of all: it's running palm. :P Actually, I'm sure palm OS is great for something like this, I'd just rather see Pocket PC OS. Better yet, Opie (OSS palmtop enviroment, FYI).

  15. Re:Isn't broadband expensive in AU? on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 1

    Though this is a stupid comment, it makes me think that what if you have a shared dialup connection, so you have an internal ethernet? Does it measure bandwith to make sure you're not cheating or something? What about broadband in really busy places with zero upstream?

  16. Re:ObPenny-Arcade on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 1

    It's called muting annoying people...they have it in Half-Life, and it's great :)

    A proposed recommendation for possibility of consideration of partial inclusion...

  19. Re:Timeline.... on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 1

    It's Korea, get it right. If you're gonna claim to know about the Simpsons on the net, be right!

  20. Re:What's with the attitude? on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up!! Dispelling popular myths is good!

  21. Re:Beware HP on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 1

    Though that *is* dishonest, in their defense, it is regular practice to sell non-full cartridges. Go to an *office store* as opposed to a best buy to get your cartridges. There you can get a couple extra ml for only a few more $$. They're called "extra capacity," and actually contain more ink. Just because you have a print cartridge, even one you just bought, doesn't guaruntee it to be full. Look and compare the measure of ml on the box!

  22. Re:connector genders on Connectors: A History of Their Technology? · · Score: 1

    What always messed me up was that on the female side of the XLR (with the holes) the body of the connector goes inside of the male connector(with the pins).

    I believe the official male/female disctinction is whatever carries the signal, so to speak. Think of coax. One part sticks out, another "sticks in," but in the end, the "business end," so to speak, is the part that matters.

  23. Isn't this... on SF Gate on Open Source Government · · Score: 1

    the way you should buy everything? I don't buy cars based on what brand I like, or how their business practices are. I buy the best for the money.
