  2. Re:Just in time for the holidays! on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 1

    You money spending ignorant b00b. Try Vista on a 2.4GHz P4 with 512MB of RAM. Then try XP on the same hardware. XP runs faster and better than The Pile Of Poop Known As Vista (c)(tm).

  3. Re:social web sites on Google's OpenSocial Too Late To Be a Win? · · Score: 1

    Welcome to The Latest Fad (c)(tm) on the Internet.

    The trick is to figure out what the next one will be and make some good $$$$ off of it.

  4. Yes, but... on Can Blockbuster be Sued Over Facebook/Beacon? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Didn't Facebook members make their movie choices public in the first place?

    So this public information was then used by someone else.

    What be wrong with this?

  7. Re:a few years late on Microsoft Disses Windows to Sell More Windows · · Score: 1

    Every time I install XP these days, the screens during the initial install phase crack me up. They proclaim it to be the most secure Microsoft OS product to date, etc. I wonder if a class action lawsuit could be raised to take them to task for making these bogus statements about their product...

  8. Re:Aww, poor corporations. on Corporations Face Problems with Employee Emails · · Score: 1

    Corporations were invented to serve the public Huh? Corporations were invented [by rich fsckers] to form an 'entity' to make money. Period.

    blah blah welcome new overlords blah blah /. needs an "Olde & Lame" tag...
  10. Re:Riddle me this: on What's New in Blade Runner - The Final Cut? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The movie stands up quite well without the narration. Horse poop. You've already seen the version with the voice over, so you know what is going on in the director's cut. If you watch the director's cut for the first time ever, you have absolutely no clue WTF is going on. Only after watching the original, do you know what was going on in the director's cut.

    IMO, the voice over gives the movie the right character. Someday soon, when the technology is there, we the fans will do our own version with Harrison's voice in a fan voice over cut.
  11. Re:Windows hosted on SourceForge on Gates Expresses Surprise Over IE8 Secrecy · · Score: 1

    If billg had half a brain, he would use all his money to form a completely separate company to compete directly against Microsoft.

    Not only would he double his profits, he would get the gooberment off of his back and create competition and foster even more innovation in the industry.

    Think about it...

  12. Re:In a perfect world on Gates Expresses Surprise Over IE8 Secrecy · · Score: 1

    In the future, keep this wisdom in mind: "Use the BitTorrent, Luke" to avoid paying any Microsoft tax...

  15. Idiot Moron QA on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 1

    How could such a bug not pass QA?

    Or don't the testers ever reboot their machines?

  16. Re:Is this really needed? on Dell's World of Warcraft Laptop · · Score: 1

    Yes, but your old P4 doesn't have The Bling Factor (c)(tm) that carrying around this statement of your place in society does. I fully expect Paris Hilton to be dragging one of these around real soon now.

  21. WooHoo!! on Coming Soon, Mobile Torrents · · Score: 1

    The carriers are absolutely going to love this. The amount of money they are going to make from data charges will be record breaking.

  22. Re:Hypertext no more on Is It Time for a 'Kinder, Gentler HTML'? · · Score: 1

    People need to realize that HTML is being used for things it was never intended for: client/server interaction. Everything is a hack, kludge and/or bodge. Like using a hammer to drive a screw - sure it will work, the the result is dodgy at best.

    Time to ditch HTTP/HTML and create a proper, open, portable client/server protocol/standard for this. Unfortunately, I doubt this will never happen because people have HTML on the brain.

  23. Re:The future of computing on Number of Cellphones Now Equal To Half the Human Species · · Score: 1

    Great, now instead of one or two butt wipes yacking inanely into their cell phones on a bus, subway car or train, everyone will be yammering at them pointlessly. Mebbe I could make mucho pesos selling ear plugs...

    Still want to kick Martin Cooper in the gonads for inventing the damn technology in the first place.

  24. Re:Google! Google! on Google Summer of Code Extends to Highschoolers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a relatively new mental disease called "Google On The Brain".

    The main symptom is believing that everything and/or anything Google does is Good.

    If you say, or even imply, that Google is bad, evil or just over-rated, you get dumped on, trashed and modded down.

    If you run around proclaiming "Google is Great!", then the gaggle of brainwashed fanboys accept you as one of their own into the Google religion.

    Personally I wish that Google, like Microsoft, and other large monopolies would just dry up and go away.
