  1. Re:Here's who John Galt was on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 1

    Yup. Sorry she didn't use a name that had never been used before. I'm thinking "Ruxpert Nuxkelitt" but it just doesn't have the same ring.

  2. Re:Here's who John Galt was on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 1

    ...Somebody who obviously hasn't read the book, and missed the reference....

  3. Re:Actually, mac users haven't had a virus yet on New Windows Vulnerability in Help System · · Score: 1

    Actually, most of these are from the 80s...

  4. Re:Which is why Gigabit doesn't fit the home on Gigabit Networking for the Home? · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Which is why we (IT) put our video guys on a gig connection.

    Which was no problem at all. PowerMacs have ha it built in for something like 2 years now.

  5. Re:Got them in Dvorak? on Apple Extended Keyboard Lives Again · · Score: 1

    Get a keyboard skin for it.

  6. Re:what are the pluses again? on NPR's Car Talk Switches Back To RealAudio · · Score: 2, Informative

    You mean this one?

  7. Re:Well... on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 1

    You might want to rethink that comment with Hank Azeria in there.

  8. Re:Simpson's are worth it. on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but how much of that is because of the voice actors? Its the WRITERS that should be getting paid hand over fist.

  9. Re:Maybe they don't get it on Why PHBs Fear Linux · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it was that few people actually bought it, and they wanted the shelf space back for things they'd make money off of.

  10. Successful only because their predecessors were? on Creativity, a Problem for the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Successful only because their predecessors were? Thats certainly a backwards way of looking at it. They're successful because they kept doing (and by expanding upon) what made their predecessors good games.

    They may not be original, but that certainly doesn't mean they won't be fun, which is what gaming's supposed to be about. Why reinvent the wheel when you know what people like?

  11. Re:Old news on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Its the g5Jam from Wiebetech. Their sites down with 400 errors, but its a pretty neat product.

  12. Re:Thats a new twist on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 1

    Hmm. Apparently I'm wrong. I hadn't thought of it that way. I don't think anything the US did violates the Geneva convention, but I hadn't considered our part of the UN charter as a treaty per say.

  13. Re:Thats a new twist on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    See, thats just it. There is no such thing as an international law. There are international treaties, for which you would need to sign on to be a party to, but there are no actual laws enforced by an international body. I can break a federal law, and I can break a state law, but there's no sort of international "law" I can break.

    That said, an armed invasion of Iraq was certainly wrong, but not on the grounds you're offering.

  14. Re:No console games for me on Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Of course you don't need to play them. Its a game.

  15. Re:Thats a new twist on Extradition of Warez Suspect Blocked · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I'm still trying to figure exactly which law was broken to make it an illegal war.

  16. Re:Could we get a TCO, please? on Debunking the Trillion-Dollar Space Myth · · Score: 1

    Its not an issue of the worth of economics. Economics is great when you feed it numbers. The problem is we don't know al the spinoffs, esp. the indirect ones, so you cant put them into economics.

    Its like saying computers aren't good at whole cost accounting. Its great when you feed it the right information, its useless when you don't.

  17. Re:I need to ask... on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    In a sense its splitting hairs, but a majority is not the same as most. I'll conceder majority, but most means more like 80% to me (and thats of course subjective).

  18. Re:I need to ask... on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    Of course not, but when you say When you have male architects, doctors, civil engineers, politicians, and transportation engineers, things are by *default* designed for men, you're implying that most are males. You're wrong, they' not.

  19. Re:I need to ask... on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1

    Funny, I happen to know quite a few Architects that are female, my Senator's a woman, and both my doctor and dentist are both women.

  20. Re:Been there, done that...sort of on Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Starbucks has always had a connection to Hear Music. Thats who makes their cds for resale currently, and does their in store music.

  21. Re:What is this, on Yet Another PC-Mac Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Correct. SE/30's never shipped with dual internal floppies.

  22. Re:sorry for more of the obvious on DVD Authoring Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. How is spending $50 for their entire consume suit shelling out major $$$ (ignoring the fact that it comes with new computers)?

  23. Re:iMovie on DVD Authoring Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    No, you can't. OSX isn't runable on the iBriq, despite being PPC hardware.

  24. Re:Made on a Mac? on ExtremeTech Wages War of the Codecs · · Score: 1

    Oh, i know. I read the article. I just found it discongreous how he mentions how Sorenson is used all over the place, and then doesn't use the tool he's talking about.

  25. Re:multiple camera angles? on DVD Authoring Under Linux? · · Score: 1

    Basically, yeah. it just switches to a second video stream. Not hard to implement, but rarely used. Its kind of like bullet time. It was neat the firs time you saw it, but it gets old really fast.

    Now, I wish more DVDs would put in the option to add the deleted scene back into the movie where they should have gone. its really a simple run time script that would barely add any size to the dvd.
