  1. Re:Python is doomed on Python 3.0 To Be Backwards Incompatible · · Score: 1

    Wow, you're doing it wrong then. Adding unnecessary casts is a bad thing because it can mask serious typesafety issues.

  2. Re:It's a start, the postal system should be next. on White House Gets Green by Putting Federal Budget Online · · Score: 1

    Netflix much?

  3. Re:I'll keep checking on Miro Turns 1.0 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Bitter much?

  4. Re:What's the issue exactly? on Trouble With MS Genuine Office Validation · · Score: 5, Informative

    Office is activated, it's Visio that's not activated. Visio's non-activation is taking down the entire system.

  5. Re:An idea on Solar Craft Flies Through Two Nights · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sure if it could go 1000 mph, that would work fine. It might be tricky to break the sound barrier with a solar-powered craft though.

  6. Re:How do they explain the Doom3 specific filename on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Team Not Art Thieves · · Score: 1

    Do they even need to?

  7. Re:Bzzzt!!!! It uses flash ram. on Samsung's Solid-State Disk Drive Unveiled · · Score: 1

    I call BS. You are still using all your 1gb hard drives from 1996? Or do you mean that they 'lasted ten years' as in, they lasted as long as I wanted them to last before I stopped using them and they are sitting on a shelf somewhere in my basement so I'm sure they work just great.

  8. Re:Summary is a bit misleading on PS3 Scales 1080i To 480p On HDTVs · · Score: 0, Troll

    Don't worry, you won't be getting one anyway. By the time poor slobs like you can get one they'll have these issues ironed out.

  9. Re:What A Fiasco on Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show Showing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Parent makes some good points, not a troll at all.

  10. Re:"Low Resolution" S-Video cable? on Unbox Too Restricted and Too Expensive? · · Score: 1

    As long as you don't have HDTV and your player doesn't do upsampling, you're probably right. But there's a big difference between the output of a S-video signal and a composite 720p or 1080i if your DVD player supports it. I would hope that Amazon's player has these capabilities.

  11. Re:How Many American Lives? on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    No, I won't give up my rights for 500 lives.

  12. Re:FOr all you Office users... on Office + OpenDocument, Never Say Never · · Score: 1

    You should really check out the 2.0 installer, which is a self-extracting exe on Windows.

  13. Re:Stereo component on Full Debian ARM for Under $200 · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://www.slimdevices.com/

    get of their older devices for cheap on ebay, they rock. i've got 5 of them scattered throughout my house (3 different models, all running off the same server software on my debian box).

  14. Re:am i the only one? on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Premiere · · Score: 1

    apparently... you are the only one! :-)

  15. Re:Expensive Book... on When Computers Were Human · · Score: 1

    Or you could go to your library.

  16. Re:too pricey on PlayStation 3 to Sell For $399, Going Underground · · Score: 1

    So... buy a Gamecube?

  17. Re:Nice try, Opera... on Major Browsers Have JS Pop-Up Flaw · · Score: 1

    Google is still good but Opera is still bad. Obviously!

  18. Re:weak answer from Tridge on BitKeeper Love Triangle: McVoy, Linus and Tridge · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He's probably either:
    a) getting sued and his lawyers have advised him not to release too many details
    b) worried about getting sued and his lawyers have advised him not to release too many details

  19. Re:Five years without a TV. Doing good so far. on Our Ratings, Ourselves · · Score: 1

    But your math skills are lacking after 5 years without visual stimulus.

    2 hrs/day * 7 days/wk * 52 weeks/year = 728 hrs or over 30 solid days of TV.

  20. Re:Extreme edition on Preview of Intel's Dual-Core Extreme Edition · · Score: 1

    Because it will.

  21. Re:sigh on Scientific American Gives Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I call bullshit. Inflation rate is at an average of 3% for quite a few years. That's hardly just over 0% and inflation needs to be taken into account with budgets in the millions and billions of dollars!

    See this link for just one source of inflation numbers:

    http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/ AnnualInflation.asp

    There are hundreds more.

  22. Re:Worse than previewing non-existant products... on Preview of New Block Cipher · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Good one, if you are. Otherwise you're an idiot. :-)

  24. Re:Most interesting thing is that they are the sam on All Three Next-Gen Consoles at e3 2005 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They are all using IBM processors but certainly not the cell -- only sony will use that. Others will use more traditional powerpc designs I suspect.

  25. Re:This isn't PCMCIA! on ExpressCards, the new PCMCIA? · · Score: 1

    Why can the manufacturer reuse 99% of the code for a modem and 95% for the video adapter? I was thinking more along the lines of 98% and 94%, respectively, but am willing to hear out your point of view.
