  1. Re:Another reverse takeover? on Steve Jobs to Sell Pixar and Join Disney Board? · · Score: 1


    Must be Schrödinger's Billions :)

  2. Re:Run slower?? on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    Nope. He says, I quote, "run Windows through a virtual layer"

    (The current 32-bit version of Windows XP lacks EFI support.)

  3. Re:Run slower?? on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    You misunderstood.

    I believe the parent meant Windows would run slower in an emulated environment, like VMWare, VirualPC, etc.

  4. Re:Cool crash screens though. on Xbox 360 Very Unstable · · Score: 1

    More line, one-error-message-to-rule-them-all. The original Xbox was the same way: short, but important messages were displayed in all languages on a single screen.

  5. Slashdot Digging Digg Digging Slashdot on The Rise of Digg.com · · Score: 1


    This article is so very meta!

  6. Re:real reason why on Why Microsoft and Google are Cleaning Up With AJAX · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you, but MS has been using "AJAX" in their OWA and CRM products. Granted, the "AJAX" parts are IE only (non IE browsers are served an old-school frames site.)

  7. The ideal vacation? on Pirates Thwarted by Sonic Weapon · · Score: 2, Funny


    Shuffleboard? Out. Pirates? In!

    Arrr! Avast, me hearties!

  8. Re:I wish people would stop using this analogy on BitTorrent User Guilty Of Piracy · · Score: 1

    Of course it was: whatever you hypothetically stole from that persons home was most likely not for sale.

    Breaking and entering notwithstanding, had you said "store", you would've been more correct.

  9. Re:I wish people would stop using this analogy on BitTorrent User Guilty Of Piracy · · Score: 1

    This is not entirely accurate.

    You have their movie, but the infringed-upon parties do not have your money. Which is theft.

  10. Obligatory Google Cache / Mirror / Screenshots on Graphical Gentoo Installer In The Works · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Will they never learn? on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 1

    Addendum:

    Will they never learn ... from Japan?

  12. Will they never learn? on China Goes Nuclear · · Score: 3, Funny

    One word: Godzilla.

  13. dupe... on First Mobile Phone Virus Discovered · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... dupe dupe. dupe of url, url, url.

  14. But on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you just be listening to the sounds of everyone elses phones ringing??

  15. Re:controller [OT] on PSP To Have PS2 Connectivity, No Shovelware Conversions? · · Score: 1

    >> Remember: The old adage "fight fire with fire" does not apply to non-metaphorical fires.

    This is inaccurate.

    In the case of large-scale brush fires, a second fire will be intentionally set in the same area as the first to choke out the oxygen supply, thus canceling both fires.

  16. Spirit, Beagles on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    And all this time, I had envisioned Spirit sabotaging Beagles I & II.

  17. (Not a) continuity blooper? on Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers · · Score: 1

    The scene where Gandalf is talking with the Hobbit about "the end" and his sword, Glamdring, goes from silver to black to silver.

    I thought this was done to illustrate death.

  18. Re:I don't find it odd at all... on Motorola Launches A760 Linux and Java Smartphone · · Score: 1

    This is offtopic, but I thought IBM _always_ developed/manufactured the PowerPC (PPC) cpu...

  19. Re:They did this because of Xbox on DOOM III to be capped at 60 fps · · Score: 1

    Me too, especially when considering that (NTSC) tv's are interlaced and operate at ~30 FPS

  20. Re:You get what you pay for... on Have You Personally Used an Honest Head Hunter? · · Score: 1

    You mean Lexus!

    Didn't Mercedes-Benz get bought out by Chrysler? Shudder.

    For what it's worth, I drive Nissan ;)

  21. Re:ABIT = unstable + feature-rich on ABIT's Secure IDE Motherboard · · Score: 1

    Agreed!

    I'm been running an Abit VP6 w/ Dual PIII 1ghz for over a year and it has been rock solid.

    Surprisingly, I have 2 40gb IBM 75GXP's, AKA DeathStars, in a RAID-0 array and they're still running strong, too! ... knock on wood. ;)

  22. This reminds me of a joke. on iTunes: Don't Leave Home With Them · · Score: 1

    Stay with me...

    "The greatest invention is the thermous. It keeps hot things hot, cold things cold, but how do it know?"

  23. Re:The concern isn't over privacy rights. on MIT, Boston College Refuse DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So downloading songs wasn't illegal a year ago, so...most songs in my library can't be used in any arguement by the RIAA. Correct?

    No. It means you can't be sued for sharing files a year ago. You could, however, be sued NOW.

  24. Catch on Instant Messaging Giveaway · · Score: 2, Funny

    The user must first decypher an inkblot image which is also sent as an instant message.

  25. Re:word of warning - Mod Parent Up! on Linux v2.6 Begins Testing · · Score: 1

    Security should be taken seriously. This is truly informative.
