  1. Re:Except one thing on Microsoft 'under attack' On All Fronts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're spot on. I started out using PS 2.0 and the interface is what keeps me from using GIMP. I've tried, but I really don't want to devote the time needed to make the switch. Free is nice, but my time isn't free.

  2. Re:Basic Plot Inaccuracies? on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 1

    And the movie "Troy" did suck. I just saw it recently with my fiancee, and even she hated the thing.



    Well... there you have it. I'm convinced. Next time, I'll be sure to visit www.reviewbyfiancee.com before I rent (or buy) a movie.

  3. Who really cares... on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1
  4. The OS isn't relevant on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who cares what OS you use?

    It seems to me that most users choose their applications first and then find an OS that supports them, not the other way around.

    Modded down? Some people around here have anger issues. ;)

    California does not presently require an annual inspection.

  9. Re:How Reliable? on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 1

    Which is exactly the same reason I still carry a compass in addition to the GPS receiver when I'm backpacking.

  10. Re:That is until we shut them off... on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 1

    The opposite is true. The U.S. used to add an error to the unencrypted position. During the first Iraq war, this spoofing was removed.

  11. Re:Old news on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 1

    Radar is nice, but it never hurts to get a visual fix as well.

    Coastal navigation is not as simple as watching television.

  12. Re:Cool it down on Cooling Down Hot Processors · · Score: 1

    My AMD XP2400 runs at 40c normally. If I'm stressing it, it might get as high as 50c.

  13. Re:More white bread, please! on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    As my son's bass instructor often points out... there are musicians and then there are musical theorists.

    I'm just a listener, but you sound like the latter.

  14. Re:Lots of info left out of the summary... on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    I suspect that most "home users" have no idea what open source software is.

  15. Re:Bogus on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 1

    Even the BEST games are often ported to the Mac.

    Define "best".

  16. Premature Jubilation on Bringing Down A Copycat Site · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm thinking Nigel hasn't won yet.

    Ya know... I never quite looked at Stern in this light.

    You're right.

  18. Re:America's Army on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    IIRC, there aren't any "innocent civilians" present. Hell... what's a war game without collateral damage?

  19. Re:Portable bookmarks on How to Build a Better Browser · · Score: 1

    I've been using MyYahoo for years. It's not as easy as using the bookmarks/favorites features of the browser, but I can get to it anywhere.

  20. Re:Bundled Soon? on Microsoft Releases Toolbar Suite · · Score: 1

    Didn't AOL start out as Quantum Link? IIRC, it was a service for Commodores.

  21. Re:Hrmm on Too Many Computers Hurt Learning · · Score: 1

    Nevermind that they're fries, not chips at all. :)

  22. Re:Yes and no. on Musicians on Internet & Filesharing · · Score: 1

    Eminem is putting out a new album every month?

    How retro!

    I can remember in the 70's, artist put new records out at least once a year, quite a few put out new stuff twice a year. Nowadays, it seems like they're running their own lottery. Some artists put new albums out every three to five years. WTF is that? ...and why is that BTW?

  23. Re:First Heinlein Reference on Senate May Rush Copyright Legislation · · Score: 1

    If you're watching commercial television, you're not a consumer. You're the product.

    This bill will ensure that you stay that way.
