  1. Deaf people? on World's Most Powerful Subwoofer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder if this will affect deaf people's ability to 'listen' to music at all. Having a wider range of frequencies should allow for more variations in vibrations, no?

  2. Ya but.. on Microsoft to Attack RIM with Magneto · · Score: 2, Funny

    can they trust him?

  3. Re:what he should have said... on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    ?? You can visibly tell that he's drunk. There's more than one picture, you know

  4. Re:what he should have said... on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    Um, what makes you think he hasn't done either for 17+ years? Here are some photographs of him getting drunk quite recently

  5. Re:DVD on 11,000 Words on the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How is this interesting?! If I posted
    "I bought the DVD, and it's definitely NOT worth it, regardless of other people's opinions."
    would that be modded up too? lunacy

  6. Different flavour... on Ask Jeeves Looks to Outshine Google · · Score: 1

    Is that why Ask Jeeves threatened a lawsuit against the Something Awful website when one of their comedy goldmines featured photoshop parodies of the Ask Jeeves browser, whereas Google didn't seem to mind when the same was done to them?
    Maybe if they want to be respected as much as Google they should learn to act more mature, rather than throw lawsuits around when someone pokes a little fun at their product

  7. A bit off topic, but.. on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    It's good to see an everything2 link on the front page; I thought the editors stopped doing that

  8. /. obviously showing bias here... on The Unix-Haters Handbook Online · · Score: 1

    They must REALLY not like this handbook. What reason could they have for posting the link to it twice in a matter of 12 hours other than to /. it into oblivion? ;)

  9. Re:Didn't make it out on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 1
  10. Linux Used To Make Star Trek, Nemesis? on Linux Used To Make "Star Trek, Nemesis" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well then who makes it now?

  11. Re:ok on E3 Controller Previews · · Score: 1
  12. Umm.... on Resurrecting NEAR · · Score: 1
    How long can silent electronics last in space?"

    Probably indefinitely....

  13. Re:Anti-virus software on FBI Confirms Magic Lantern Existence · · Score: 1

    There are more then two antivirus vendors around

  14. This is obviously false..... on Severed Optical Nerves Can Be Made To Grow Again · · Score: 0

    Geordi La Forge didn't get his sight back until the 24th century!

  15. Re:Power without Application? on Nvidia Geforce 4 (NV25) Information · · Score: 1

    A geforce2 mx playing any game at 1152x968 flawlessly? Maybe if you consider your games picture galleries....

  16. Don't Forget..... on The Tick Premieres Tonight on FOX · · Score: 4, Offtopic

    Family Guy is back on the air as well and airs right before The Tick

  17. Re:Japanese cube... on Nintendo Game Cube On (Limited) Preview In 12 Cities · · Score: 1

    One more plus...I think the new controller is great; a great improvement over the N64 controller, and much better thay playstation/PS2. Probably the 1st controller I've felt comfortable holding and using since the NES.
    Ah yes, if only all the console makers stopped making all these silly "ergonomic" controllers and went back to the good old fashioned rectangle ones. now THAT was a good design.

  18. Re:Breaking News: Afghanistan Bombing/AA fire on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 1

    pvi, you're doing the exact thing you are accusing the americans of doing. what if it ISNT america that was bombing afghanastan?

  19. bring in... on Star Wars II: Return of the Name · · Score: 2, Funny

    bring in, the clones!

  20. Re:Tons of scans on Code Red Worm Spreading, Set To Flood Whitehouse · · Score: 1

    heh i totally agree with you man, this is gonna be something to see

  21. Re:Wow.... on GeForce3: Real-time RenderMan? · · Score: 1

    uh, since when has nvidia had unstable drivers? They're usin' unified driver architecture, meaning that the same drivers that they made for the original Geforce 2 years ago now can be used with the geforce3 (although the drivers might need to be tweaked a little for the differentiating architecture). This gives Nvidia over 2 years to tweak their drivers for maximum stability and performance. the only reason why you're complaining, im assuming, is because you are using the leaked beta drivers that Nvidia never authorized. well guess what? they arent supposed to be out! So if you care about stability that much, just get yourself the official drivers and stop bashing the company for something it has done right :P

  22. comparing x86 to Macintosh is like.... on x86 vs PPC Linux benchmarks · · Score: 1

    comparing apples to oranges

  23. duh on Microsoft Isn't Slowing Down · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have expected anything less from the behemoth Microsoft. When a company becomes that big, it'll do anything in its power to stay that big, whether by friendly tactics (constant new products and new services) or unfriendly tactics ('nuff said)

  24. AOL China on AOL Moves Into China · · Score: 1

    The name isn't that big of a deal. here in Canada its called AOL Canada, and nobody seems to care

  25. First words on Mars Landing on NASA: Planetary Exploration, Or Better Coffee · · Score: 1

    "That's one small sip for man, one giant leap for making better coffee" oops
