  1. Re:GUIs are at a limit. on GUI Research - Is it Still Being Done? · · Score: 1
    Hey, now everybody "steals" ideas. I have yet to see a unique GUI since the Xerox days. Unique meaning truly different.

    I have a feeling that once everybody has a high speed connection to the internet, the 3D people will rule. Everything will be as graphic intensive as we can only imagine, and we will need people that can provide it.

    Disney will only be able to hold onto them for son long...

    Yes, but if your brain told you you should have it, you just might find a way!

    After all, he fact that you think Quick sucks and you cannot afford Office 2000 is because you believe that you cannot. We think we cannot afford many things, yet we still buy things we do not need. Advertising! (mmmm, need soda. why the heck should you buy sugar water?)

    Yes, this would solve all problems. You have "functionality" vs. security. Never ends.

    For too long the general attitude has been "Don't use encryption unless you have to" when it should be "always use encryption unless you have a reason not to"

    How about don't share your drives unless you want to? (Windows NT?)

    Why secure something instead of insecuring it? Not enought IT people!

    This is the reason. Make a lawsuit, stand up for yourself. Even if you know you will make more money and drop the lawsuit in the end.

  6. Re:Not obsolecence; marketing on Sony Dismisses Claims Against Playstation Emulator · · Score: 1
    It is a good thing that Sony made the PS2 backwards compatible with the PSX. Finally!

    I wish my N64 could play my SNES and NES games! I hope that because Sony has done this, other companies will.

  7. Re:We'll never get to Mars on Arctic Research Station: A Step Toward Mars · · Score: 1
    Yes, but now there "is" water on Mars so the US Govt will put out the money.

    Ever wonder about the timing of these events?
    Could we possibly have known this before?

  8. Re:Wouldn't it be cool if cars were named by Intel on Intel Announces Pentium 4 · · Score: 1

    You can't patent a number, hence you have Pentium.

  9. Re:Get off Lucas' back! on Star Wars Episode 2 Starts Shooting · · Score: 1

    So we should classify movies into age groups because the will make a difference if a movie is good for the audience?

    I believe this is why there is so much hype from the Lord of the Rings series.

  11. Re:Kids' films. . . bleagh on Star Wars Episode 2 Starts Shooting · · Score: 1
    George Lucas is, of course, free to make whatever sort of film he wants to..

    If if he didn't have the freedom, then we wouldn't have had the the great first 3 movies we have seen.

  12. Re:Jar Jar Death Scene on Star Wars Episode 2 Starts Shooting · · Score: 1
    Rumor has it that Jar Jar is a Jedi. This is how he "accidentally" trips and kills so many people. This is also why he must return in PM 2. Of course, rumors are rumors, and he must die if he is a Jedi...

    Hate that stupid windows button. Hate Netscape too so.....

  13. Re:High Expectations on Star Wars Episode 2 Starts Shooting · · Score: 1

    I agree.

  14. Re:Expectations... on Star Wars Episode 2 Starts Shooting · · Score: 1

    The first movie set up the rest of the series. Maybe it could have been better. Now if Lucas made this movie first, there might not have been a series. So I am waiting to see what EP 2 brings.

  15. Re:CNBC Coverage on PC Expo = Windows Heaven · · Score: 2

    Amazing how a company realized how many more Windows machines were out there, and made a lot of money!
