  1. I don't get it on Ajax Is the Buzz of Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    It's a design pattern, it's not even a new design pattern.
    If you're just figuring this out now, you haven't been around for long enough.

  2. Re:Yeah, but ... is this legal in the USA? on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that - don't people usually mine jewels from the ground? Sounds like a legitimate scarce supply to me.

    Instructing retailers to deliberately "sell out" seems like a completely different thing. If you know otherwise I'm interested to hear about it.

  3. Yeah, but ... is this legal in the USA? on Microsoft Plans Deliberate Xbox 360 Shortage · · Score: 1

    Could someone who is familiar with the FTC please enlighten us here in the USA if this "planned shortage" is even legal here?
    Can they just do that? Help us out here.

  4. What is this, a troll article? on Does Visual Studio Rot the Brain? · · Score: 1

    From the poster:
    force you to adopt programming techniques designed around implementation speed, not understanding or quality.

    It doesn't force you to do anything. You don't have to use the "drag n' drop" garbage. It's easier to just write the damn code sometimes.

    I think it would be much more accurate to state that it allows people to implement things without understanding or quality. THAT would be an accurate statement.

    That being said, even your granny can crash a NASCAR. It ain't the car's fault.

  5. Yeah, mine scratched too - pic linked on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 2, Funny

    I got the black one to match my Motorola Razr v3.
    I didn't expect it to look like THIS after a week or two!

    It's a joke

  6. Here's an actual link (with images) on Another Amateur Radio Satellite · · Score: 2, Informative

    PCSat2 .Info page (with images)

    You can kind of see it mounted on the ISS.

  7. PSP Keyboard on IRC On The PSP · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here - a PSP Keyboard

  8. Re:Too many defects on Sony Recants on Dead Pixels (Sort Of) · · Score: 1

    You know what, it actually is the second revision. These new units are different than the PSP's released in Japan last year.

  9. You know what? Fuck Real. on New iPod Firmware Locks Out RealNetworks Music · · Score: 1

    They put the effort into promoting the "Music Freedom of Choice" site, and the thing hasn't been updated since AUGUST. musicfreedomofchoice.com.

    And their Harmony page still advertises Harmony as being compatible with iPod: RealPlayer with Harmony Technology.
    So in short, fuck Real.

    If you're going to do something, then fucking do it. Otherwise go the fuck away.

  10. did he just say.... on Bootlegged Music in Russia · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Did he just say "making fuck" ?

  11. Circuit City, right? on Cheap DivX Solution For Your Entertainment Center · · Score: 1

    I heard Circuit City has DiVX players: right?

    I heard these are way better than DVDs.

  12. Re:Four words. on George Lucas Speaks on Trilogy Changes · · Score: 1

    Wow - it actually is on laserdisc.
    It's almost worth buying just to have.

  13. Re:ActiveWorlds on Instant Messaging Goes Graphical · · Score: 1

    I remember that as well.

    This story is a little underwhelming, eh?

  14. Re:Ho Hum on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 3, Funny

    If there was no IDing, they wouldn't have [...]

    Is this a new product from Apple? How do I get it?

  15. Walt would be disappointed on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 1

    Walt would be so disappointed. He wanted to inspire creativity and imagination - this design is completely obvious and uninspired. Remember "Tomorrowland"? This doesn't fit.

    Why does Disney feel compelled to jam Mickey Mouse ears on everything?

  16. ...abused hardware on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I installed Windows on a machine once..
    That was pretty abusive.

  17. Missing Option: on Are You Annoying? · · Score: 1


    Oh wait, I thought this was a poll...

    ...you insensitive clod?

  18. No dock w/ the 20GB on iPod Generation 4 Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Looks like the 20Gb is the new 15 - no dock.

    Bought one anyway. And the dock separately for thirty somethin bucks.

  19. Re:DirectX 10 on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1

    That wasn't what I was saying at all.
    Let me clarify:
    Sony will have to be able to beat any DirectX 10 features (or whichever version the next XBox has) BEFORE IT COMES OUT.

    Comprende?

  20. Re:Yippee! on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 1

    This wasn't off-topic.

  21. DirectX 10 on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has an advantage over Sony because whatever amazing new graphics capabilities get packaged with DirectX 10 (or 11 or whatever) will come with XBox and Sony will be behind.

    Game. Set. Match.

  22. Re:Yippee! on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It was less than a week, wasn't it?

    ADODB.Stream has been available in this manner for at least 4 years.

  23. Defective Apples on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're trying to avoid another repeat of the now infamous Apple III incident where they sold 14,000 defective Apple III's.

  24. Re:Keep the iPod on Dell Offers $100 For Old iPods · · Score: 1

    Why would you keep a broken iPod?

    Why does everyone in this thread seem to miss this point?!

  25. Top 10 Songs on Commodore - Back In The Hardware Biz At Last? · · Score: 1
    Anybody catch the "Hot Tracks" on this thing?
