    > Pinto

    Too bad many of the kids here will not get that at all (without the help of Google)...

  2. Please don't... on Today's Average Screen Resolution? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please don't force me to maximize my browser window just to noodle around your site(s). Do your HTML/CSS so that your web pages adjust with the size of the browser window. Please don't hard code table sizes in pixels and other such idiocies.

    I wish the code monkeys here would get Java off of the Brain.

    They want to do everything in Java - even a basic web site.

  4. Do your immigration research first on Finding Work in the US as a Non-US Resident? · · Score: 5, Informative

    You really need to do your immigration research first. Unless you find a sponsor as far as work visas go, and then go through an extensive process to get a green card, don't even bother trying...

    i.e. Been there, done that, back in Canada.

  7. Off lease, SFF machine on Recommendations for a Single Board Computer? · · Score: 1

    Why not just get an off lease small form factor machine? A couple of weekends ago I picked up a 1.7GHz P4 HP Vectra unit for $160 CAD. Dropped in some spare RAM and a 200GB EIDE drive. Presto bingo bongo, instant whateverIwant box.

    You presume too much.

    Mainly that all the patents are in an SQL database...

  9. Re:This is a joke, rite? on PCWorld Dubs Firefox Best Product of 2005 · · Score: 1
    I don't get it either...

    I finally got around to downloading and installing Firefox 1.5.

    Three hangs, two outright crashes and one system reboot to get it going again, in less that a couple of hours, and it gets best product of 2005? And this is on a machine which had WinXP freshly installed along with Sun's JRE 1.5.0_05.

    Fark me.

  14. Re:Maybe their crap poducts will improve now! on Cisco Moving On Set-Top Boxes · · Score: 1

    I was going to add that Cisco did not do their due diligence - the Scientific Atlanta HDTV cable boxes are absolute crap. I've gone through two of them so far. They run way too hot and eventually die. Not to mention the bugs in the software. I can consistently cause mine to go wierd to the point that I have to unplug the power from the back of the unit.

    > SUV's are also particularly comfortable if you're overweight.

    Which covers like over 80% of Americans. This is the #1 reason why SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans are so popular - they need large vehicles to haul their fat arses around...

  19. Flock? on Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Am I the first to think "Flock Off!"?

  20. Re:Anybody here has seen the movie but NOT the sho on Orson Scott Card Reviews Everything · · Score: 1

    Personally, I was disappointed with Serenity. Expectations where set high with all the glowing preview reviews. Visually, it was too dark. Camera work left much to be desired. Special effects shots where too short - let us enjoy the visuals for fsck sakes! Dialog was hokey. Acting was hokey. Soundtrack couldn't decide what genre it was. Bottom line, amateurish move making effort.
