  1. Re:Gimp for Windows (version 2.0pre4) on Gimp Hits 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Uh...yeah...if it takes all this to install it on Windows, count me out. The amount of time it'll take me how to figure out installing it for our graphic designers would probably add up to the cost of a couple of copies of PhotoShop CS.

    Same goes for Mac too... ...of course, I could just migrate over to linux. (However, see the argument above)

  2. I'll just buy a GBA, thank you on Nintendo Patents Handheld Emulation, Cracks Down · · Score: 1

    Um...has anyone seen the price of the Zodiac? It's like $300!

    It would be cheaper to buy a GBA or GBA SP and some games...

  3. Well...um... on Dish Network & Viacom Settle Their Differences · · Score: 2, Funny

    I haven't yet seen anyone mention the fact that CBS and other Viacom channels are back on DishNetwork

    It might be because most people weren't missing much...

  4. Mandrake on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 1

    Install Mandrake and put launcher icons for OpenOffice Writer, Evolution, and Galeon on a panel at the bottom screen of Gnome.

    It seems to work for me...

  5. Animal Crossing on Girls in the Gaming World · · Score: 1

    It was Animal Crossing for the 'cube that got my wife hooked on videogames.

    She puts about 20 minutes a day in on it. How many fish can you catch?

  6. $2! on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    $2! In my market, on average the newest releases on DVD are $4. In some Blockbusters in my market (Chicagoland), I've seen it as high as $6.25.

  7. hah! on Bad Spelling Pays on eBay · · Score: 1

    My dads been doing this for a couple of years with baseball items. Made a good bundle too, until most of the companies starting mass producing everything that's current.

  8. Re:I wonder why Lego never... on Lego Goes Back to the Basics: Building Blocks · · Score: 1

    Woodfiled Mall in Schaumburg, IL has a Lego store that lets you by bulk using two different cup sizes. They're approx $7 and $13.

    Be sure to take the time to stack the pieces and fit them in there. You get a LOT more than just dumping them in like candy.

    Every now and then, there are some rare pieces amd colors as well such as slopes and rare sizes.

    I practically work right across the street. Every time I go into the mall, I come out with a cup.

    My wife won't let me go into the mall anymore...

  9. Amazing on Earth Travel On Time, Again · · Score: 1

    This will probably be taken as a troll, but it's amazing at how much natural order in the universe happened by chance.

  10. Amazing.... on Big Bang Really a Big Hum · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No one was there to listen to it, but we've proven it was a hum. Let alone, we've never proved that there was a big bang to begin with.

    People will believe what they hear if they hear it over and over and over and over and over...

    No, I didn't intend to troll...I won't post any replies to this post.

  11. Huh? on Is the Internet Your Source of Knowledge? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There are other sources?

  12. Is he human? on Interview Responses From BitTorrent's Bram Cohen · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm amused mostly. I find humans highly entertaining.

    How to Cook for Humans - they taste good too!

  13. Re:Messenger service on UK Spam Controlled by UK's Advertising Standards Agency · · Score: 1

    Been there, done that.

    I knew it was suspicious when it happened. The sad thing is, it said it was from the "Microsoft Security Center" in the guise of protecting my computer from terrorists. What would Joe user do in that instance?

    Too bad I didn't know of any way to track it back to the sender. I've now disabled the service.

  14. Messenger service on UK Spam Controlled by UK's Advertising Standards Agency · · Score: 1, Redundant

    My favorite new type of SPAM (at least to me) is the SPAM that uses the Microsoft messenger service on my W2K machine.

    Glad I have the firewall on there now...

  15. Re:Obvious? on Latest Columbia News · · Score: 1

    I remember Concord stopping all their flights when one of their planes crashed. It was a huge safety precaution.

  16. I got worms on Feds Working to Stop Worms · · Score: 1

    I got worms!

    That's what we're gonna call it.

    -Harry! I took care of it!

  17. how they make money... on What Lawyers Can Learn From Manga · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I agree with some of the comments about lawyers looking for the most moneymaking option for themsleves in the U.S., let's drop the lawyers for a moment.

    What I gathered from the article is that the Japanese publishers look to make money from their work and are open for different interpretations as long as it still makes them money...

    ..U.S. businesses on the other hand figure that the only way they can make money (fast or otherwise) is to have complete control over their product, which in turn opens the floodgates for the lawyers, monopoly laws, and other such things needed to make sure that the businesses have complete and total (redundancy intended) control.

  18. Spam..meat in a can on Lab-Grown Steak · · Score: 1

    I thought Spam was processed meat?

    Why doesn't NASA just send them processed meat in a can. Heck, we just got a ham from one of our vendors this last Christmas...it's good till 2006!

    Of course, maybe they should think about sending man there first instead of wasting funding on what they'll eat there.

    From what I understand there's no plan to go there in the very near future. ...your first Mars mission has been brought to you by McDonalds...Coke, and the makers of Coke products...Tang, "It's Tangtastic!"...and by Microsoft, "Where do you *really* want to go today?"

  19. blah, blah on Lindows Legal Challenge · · Score: 0, Redundant

    blah, blah, blah, blah, interesting, blah, blah.

    Blah.

  20. hmmm on Operating Systems Are Irrelevant · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Microsoft Bob.

  21. helpful link for them on Chocolatier Fights PanIP Uber-Commerce Patent · · Score: 1


    Everyone be sure and go here, here, and here and help them spend some of the money they're getting in the settlements on bandwidth. It wouldn't even hurt to go here.

  22. moo on The Legends Of Dune - Volume 1: The Butlerian Jihad · · Score: 1

    Apart from probably being labeled a troll concerning the dune books:

    A cow can only give so much milk.

  23. It's Halloween on The Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    ...so it's time to load up X-Com. What an incredible game! The music, atmosphere, loosing half your squad cause you ran them all down the ramp right into an alien ambush...

    I loved it. I always named my cannon fodder troops after the people I disliked.

  24. Re:Games of the past on The Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    Ikaruga.

  25. Re:Dependancies on Gentoo Linux Reloaded · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ibiblio seems to be very dependable for me, and I don't remember seeing things like this on the support forum. (Of course, I wasn't looking for stuff like this either).
