  1. Re:It's called a consensus opinion. on Vista Named Year's Most Disappointing Product · · Score: 1

    I used Vista for the first time over at a friend's place. I couldn't believe how awful the UI is. They actually spent 5 years on this?

  2. Re:Ron Paul on Dodd's Filibuster Threat Stalls Wiretap Bill · · Score: 1

    His voting record & stance on issues are why *most* of us want to vote for him.

  3. Re:This would make... on Online Sex Offender Database Leads To Murder? · · Score: 1

    Wishing rape on someone, that's just wonderful.

  4. Re:They're called fanboys on The Cult of Kindle · · Score: 1

    My E lasts a bit longer than that, & I have a power inverter if I'm on a trip & not driving. So no problems. On the rare occasion I do run my Palm out of juice while reading, it takes all of 20-30 minutes to hit a full charge again. I've probably read 250 books on my Palm in the last 2 years & really don't have any complaints about it's ability as a E-Book.

    The Gameboy EMU isn't all it's cracked up to be however.

  5. Re:A Sign of Things to Come and How to Fight. on Western Digital Service Restricts Use of Network Drives · · Score: 1

    I haven't since they dropped their warranties down to 1 year.

  6. Re:They're called fanboys on The Cult of Kindle · · Score: 1

    My old Palm Tungsten E works just fine for HTML & PDF.

  7. Re:Remember! on Congress Creates Copyright Cops · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know what happens with every single new government entity? They feel the need to justify their existence. 3 guesses how these guys would try to accomplish that. We already have laws for these things. Enforcement on a digital system *is not possible* with out invading our privacy or crippling our hardware.

  8. Re:Florida on Non-Competes As the DRM of Human Capital · · Score: 1

    Good catch. Replace all instances of "right-to-work" with "at-will employment" & it will be correct.

  9. Florida on Non-Competes As the DRM of Human Capital · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Florida is great. I'd have to actually leave & take my current employer's customers with me for them to have any chance of enforcing a non-compete here. I think this holds true in most right-to-work states.

  10. Re:Reinventing the wheel on Academic Games Are No Fun · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can have more than 64 concurrent players on NWN.

  11. And here is me... on Media Research Exec Says Music Industry Is On Its Last Legs · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...playing the world smallest violin.

  12. Re:constituents on Court Orders White House to Disclose Telecom Ties · · Score: 1

    "...I don't see a President"

    Funny, that's what I've been thinking for the past 7 years now. I'd rather have a president that works for me than one that can speak "pretty words".

  13. Re:constituents on Court Orders White House to Disclose Telecom Ties · · Score: 1

    Mike Gravel seems pretty down to earth if you still want to Democrat.

  14. Re:Clearly you're mistaken on Leopard as the New Vista? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can't stand console games. I don't play games I can't take apart & modify.

  15. Re:WHY?! on Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial · · Score: 1

    Submitting graphic gay porn to the court docket (which is publicly available information) without the permission of the court & to make an opposing lawyer look bad, is generally a bad idea. He's pretty much fucked considering he's already pissed off the judge who will be presiding over his disbarment.

  16. Re:Cry me a river on Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial · · Score: 5, Informative

    I agree. Submitting gay porn to the court in order to make the attorney that is practicing against you look bad is generally frowned upon.

  17. Re:Honestly... on Deus Ex 3 Announced · · Score: 1

    I should have said Windows 2000 fix. It will install in Windows 2000 (using the /a switch) but you can't play it. It does a OS version check for WinXP, which I have on my laptop, but was really wanting to play it on my desktop.

    Can anyone point me to a WinXP / 2000 fix for Rise of Legends?

  19. Re:No Thanks on Kindle Versus The iPhone · · Score: 1

    LOL, listen to how angry you get when someone thinks differently than you. So silly. As for Apple, I bought my Mom an iMac about 4 years ago & am getting her a RAM upgrade & Leopard this year, so don't get your panties in a wad thinkning I'm hating on your electric love.

    And berating me for buying only what I need & not an expensive piece of plastic that I'll just lose or break eventually? Have you listened to yourself? Are you a corporate shill "goodconsumer" or what? Silly.

    I won't even get into AT&T.

  20. Re:No Thanks on Kindle Versus The iPhone · · Score: 1

    It's a Tungsten E that I picked up for a song a couple of years ago. Works just fine for what I need it to do.

    I wouldn't own an iPhone if it was given to me. It'd be on Ebay or Craigslist before you could say "AT&T".

  21. Re:No Thanks on Kindle Versus The iPhone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been reading PDFs on my Palm for a couple of years now. That's all the e-book I need.

    LOL, That sounds neat, but seems like it would be way too much work. Stoners are lazy, remember!

    That's what a vaporizer is for anyhow.
