  1. Re:how can I make an informed opinion?!! on Good Riddance To Booth Babes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Where do you work? The Vatican? In Utah, I hear those pictures are considered violence. Wait I got that backwards. Maybe.

  2. Re:Privacy rights are eroding on U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records · · Score: 1

    And beside all that, kids less than 13 aren't allowed to use interactive forms if you believe all of those restrictions web sites put on sub-13 users. So google is illegally tracking the online behaviour of 13 year olds since they don't ask.

  3. Re:F**Kin Speak English ! on Behind the Scenes at Hotmail · · Score: 1

    And people use "meeting facilitators" that make life harder for them in the long run. Go figure.

  4. Re:F**Kin Speak English ! on Behind the Scenes at Hotmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    Please don't "don't disagree" with people. It's like an abstract double negative. Instead use "I could agree with" or similar constructs.

  5. Re:Why rails annoys me... on Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    You probably shouldn't use stored procedures in a database that's Object-Relation mapped. Then again, I also think you should never mix you model storage with controller code like stored procedures do.

  6. *SPOILERS* on Apple's Aperture Reviewed · · Score: 0

    Reviewer Dave Girard gives it a once over and walks away with a sour taste in his mouth.

    In other news: Snape Kills Dumbledore, Wash Killed by Giant Spike, Next Uwe Boll Move Sucks.

  7. Spoilers! on NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    And beside, Snape killed Dumbeldore

  8. Re:Fragging children. on Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms to Anyone Under 18 · · Score: 1

    Who protects you from crime? Why should they protect you, and not children?

    Nobody. Who protects me from murder? A drive-by shooting? Nobody, near as I can tell. Laws don't protect me from lawless action.

  9. Re:Sifted on CEOs Who Invite Email From All Employees · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As opposed to the 'sifter' micro-managing and reducing morale. It speaks better to the CEO's commitment if they read/reply personally instead of pushing it off to someone else. That's the whole point of this.

  10. Re:Bad news on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 1

    Thomas Hayden Church was just in a little road trip movie that won all sorts of awards. It was called "Sideways".

  11. Re:PB 12" has no L2 cache :( on 12" Powerbook: Slick and Sexy, But Not Without Issues · · Score: 1

    My iMac (7445) has no L3 too, and it doesn't keep me back much. I'd like to have a 7450-based system, with their 1MB L3, but I don't consider it a necessity at the moment.

  12. Re:An old lesson from Apple on New Generation of Cases? · · Score: 1

    And besides, FireWire 2 just came out with 800mbps transfers. Kinda kills the whole "USB2.0@480mbps > Firewire@400mbps" 'argument' quickly. Though, 'argument' is in quotes here because it's not much of one.

  13. My bedroom on Making Your Bedroom a Sanctum from Technology? · · Score: 1

    Bed, Table, Lamp, Curtains. The bedroom is the Third-largest room in the house. The biggest are the dining room (now completely empty due to renovation) and the living room (the room with the most 'stuff'.

  14. Re:stupid. on Making Your Bedroom a Sanctum from Technology? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My living room is filled with a $10,000 home entertainment system, walls of DVDs and CDs and books. There's a futon mattress on the floor (it's punk to go without a bed frame).

    But it's decidely not punk to have 10k in entertainment equipment and 4k invested in a chair.

  15. Re:Conspiracy therory: on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 1

    'that guy' is working on the BSD package system for Apple, or something like that. Think replacement to fink.

  16. Re:Why KHTML rather than Gecko? on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 1

    You mean the option-arrow presses in Chimera that stop at punctuation when going forward? Yeah, that's useful. I'm just happy to finally have an osx browser that supports ^H as backspace instead of go back a page.

  17. Re:too late on Linux to Become #2 on the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Hilarious is how much money people spend on game hardware to get frames they can't even see on their screens. Funnier still is the fact that consoles are designed with a specific LACK of obselescence in mind. The fact that I can play DDR on my PS|2 console and can't anywhere else just makes it better. The fact that I don't have to fuss with drivers to get a game running is icing.

  18. Re:too late on Linux to Become #2 on the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    As often as they crash in windows? I may hate ms as much as you do, but windows apps don't crash all that often anymore. Even I will admit that, so perhaps you should try using a modern msos?

    BTW, I'm a Mac OS X user and a BSD user. I got sick of this sort of politicking on behalf of Linux.

  19. Re:They were pretty... on 17-inch flat-Panel iMac Dead · · Score: 1

    And that really stopped Apple from selling all those original iMacs?

  20. Umm, Lumpy on Slashback: Tenacity, Freedomware, Lem · · Score: 1

    What's Menards? I mean, I can bore you by talking about 84 Lumber or Busy Beaver, but it would mean very little to you.

  21. Re:Don't go to Sears then. on RIAA Now Targeting Retailers · · Score: 1

    Then don't shop at Sears anymore. Money talks.

  22. Re:Netscape 7.0... on Macworld Holds Battle of the Browsers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You are incorrect. The order goes Mozilla, Chimera, Netscape 7.0, IE, Omniweb, iCab. This is because only one thing matters: accurate rendering and standards support. Omniweb and iCab are pretty terrible at this.

  23. NOYFB, P (A simple protest) on TIA Preview: Here's Lookin' At You · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Start spreading this around at the bottom of your emails:

    "NOY[F]B, P"

    "None Of Your [Fucking] Business, Poindexter". The 'F' is optional, of course.

    (And Extrans is broken. Plain Old Text allows links, but Extrans does not. I'm not surprised.)

  24. Re:Mod parent up please, TIA on Newsflash: Mac Users Love Apple, Hate Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Well, I tried to make buildworld on my FreeBSD box last night from CVS, and it decided to crap out on a perfectly valid-looking statement. From CVS. This is why I can't stand Open Source sometimes. And BSD is supposedly the group that is tops in quality control.

  25. Re:Mod parent up please, TIA on Newsflash: Mac Users Love Apple, Hate Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I happen to like opening a .dmg package, then dragging its contents (usually one '.app' directory) into my Applications folder. It's what makes sense. You are, after just moving files to your applications. There should be no magick program getting in the way and 'helping' you put the software on the system.
