  1. Re:yay, another company who's CEO's rob shareholde on Apple Execs Reportedly Faked Options Documents · · Score: 1

    Won't fit in the 120 character limit for sigs. =)

    Get YOUR facts straight, they legitimately purchased those technologies from Xerox.

  3. Flailing arm interface on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 1

    As far as I could tell, that was just the interface for a particular computer. It might be tiring, but I think the idea is to be able to correlate data in a very fast manner. Other computers in the movie appeared to use a more "traditional" interface.

  4. Re:Tesla First, As Usual on Broadcast Radio Turns 100 · · Score: 1

    I would buy something like this, but I admit I don't know how to go about building something like this.

  5. Re:Not good..... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    That being said, i'm really glad i do have the pain meds for my wisdom teeth coming in... i can't afford to have them pulled for a couple weeks.

  6. Re:why don't on The Week of Oracle Database Bugs · · Score: 1

    Because with a couple hundred corporations losing millions an hour, it would only take one big bug to bankrupt them?

  7. Re:Glassblowing stuff on Apple Orders 12 Million iPhones · · Score: 1

    Not bad, but not quite what I'm looking for, either. Wish I could take it up as a hobby, how expensive is it as a semi-casual hobby?

  8. Re:It's all about the interface on Apple Orders 12 Million iPhones · · Score: 1

    You glassblow, eh? Do you have pictures of samples of your work?

  9. Re:it's all in the pricing on Hacking XBox 360 HD-DVD To Play On XP · · Score: 1

    I'm typing this comment from an even older dell inspirion 8200 that does 1600x1200 @ 15", so his claim doesn't sound that far out there to me.

  10. Re:Publish your email address. on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    If the spammers didn't harvest that on their own, I'm sure a dozen people just did it for you. =/

  11. Re:Colbert Report.... Shh! on YouTube Restores Comedy Central Clips · · Score: 1

    Well, with the right display, the right lighting, and a tripod, I think you could manage a decent "analog hole" copy. But yeah, a lot of those are crap.

  12. Re:What about variations? on Honeybee Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I knew that, I just slipped on the order of magnitude. Thanks anyway.

  13. Re:What about variations? on Honeybee Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    I thought the kilogram was also defined as the (and I'm probably wrong on these figures) mass of a volume of water 1cmx1cm at ocean level? Kind of arbitrary as well, but it's at least tied in.

  14. Re:Oh yeah, believable... on The Sun Had Sisters · · Score: 1

    Looney Labs makes some pretty awesome games, for what it's worth.

  15. Re:Because it's a pain on Linux on Why Not Use Full Disk Encryption on Laptops? · · Score: 1

    I tried encrypting my porn once, but my mom found the large file and presumed it was porn and deleted it.

  16. Re:AMD64 version? on Flash 9 Beta for Linux Available · · Score: 1

    i am aware of this and had such running... it was too slow.

  17. Re:AMD64 version? on Flash 9 Beta for Linux Available · · Score: 1

    Well, I had been running ubuntu, and switched back to XP for youtube... Flash 9 for linux is happy news for me, now if I can just get my bluetooth wireless headphones working under XMMS...

  18. Re:That's nothing compared to this one. on How a Wiring Rack Should Look · · Score: 1

    Who's ever heard of a needle in a strawstack, though?

  19. Re:Ahh... messy racks... on How a Wiring Rack Should Look · · Score: 1

    Well, I've drawn up maps like that, just rush jobs to drop in a linksys box and a switch for less than a dozen machines, being paid in beer. But that's about the largest job I'd do something like that for.

  20. Re:Will they work without the battery? on Virgin Atlantic Bans Dell, Apple Laptops · · Score: 1

    It was my understanding that it only had a capacitor, to let you switch batteries without losing your time/date settings. I know my 12" alu powerbook won't let me switch out the power supply and battery at the same time, at least...

  21. Re:I'm doing my part on First "Carbon-Free" CPU Fights Global Warming · · Score: 1

    You joke, but I understand that to have been the case with a number of early automobiles.

  22. Re:water resistant on Tomorrow's Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    My Samsung a840 seems to do that pretty well. I got caught in the rain while out on my bicycle, and ended up wiping out and splitting my head open after sliding a couple meters face first into an SUV. The phone took a couple scratches and I then used it to call someone to take me to the hospital, after putting the battery back in.

  23. Re:Americans traveling to other countries. on E-Passport In the Works · · Score: 1

    Yep, they're one of those places. I suppose the bright side is that I don't end up working 10 hour shifts and such.

  24. Re:Americans traveling to other countries. on E-Passport In the Works · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't think there's anything about a minimum of vacation time, at least not for hourly wage earners. I don't get ANY vacation time, so any time I want to take off, I have to figure out how to make up the money.
