  1. Re:Chrome OS? on Sony To Put Chrome On Laptops · · Score: 1

    No, that's "Googol". Or "Million".

  2. Re:What about bittorrent on Judge Rules Against RealDVD · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it's not like peanut butter permanently damages discs.

  3. Re:What about bittorrent on Judge Rules Against RealDVD · · Score: 1

    Guess what? There's this amazing product called "soap" which can wash off a lot of things -- even peanut butter!

  4. Re:From a typical web surfer's point of view on Bell Starts Hijacking NX Domain Queries · · Score: 1

    I don't think it matters in this case. They'll claim that nonexistentdomain.local exists just as much as nonexistentdomain.com.

  5. Re:Not a troll on Goodbye Apple, Hello Music Production On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    The webcam problem occurs on Windows too. Very annoying.

  6. Re:Sometimes better design beats better algorythms on New Leader In Netflix Prize Race With One Day To Go · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yeah, they do. see "Your account", "Account profiles". And then there's a dropdown on the top of the page. I don't see how they could make it much easier.

    That'd be all your fault. You should be creating separate account profiles for yourself and your wife.

  8. Re:Have you used Moblin? on Moblin Will Run X Server As Logged-In User, Not Root · · Score: 1

    Pretty much. Although to be fair, custom applications have kind of "second class citizen" status compared to the built-in applications.

  9. Re:Have you used Moblin? on Moblin Will Run X Server As Logged-In User, Not Root · · Score: 1

    yes on both counts.

  10. Re:Quit Whining on Enthusiasts Convene To Say No To SQL, Hash Out New DB Breed · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure that was referring to not contaminating the cake with lead (and other hazardous materials). Just because your cake has an eeePC inside it doesn't mean you don't want to eat it!

  11. Re:Man on Hitler's Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1

    Not the same plane at all. Not all flying wings are equal. For one thing, the one in Indy was a prop plane.

  12. Re:Please let it be!! on WHO Raises Swine Flu Threat Level · · Score: 1

    What's with the apostrophe before "flu"? If it's to indicate the omited "in", shouldn't there be another one after, to indicate the omitted "enza"?

  13. Re:How much is your time worth on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 1

    Orange and white, Orange. Green and White, Blue. Blue and White, Green. Brown and White, Brown.

    ...at least for T568B. For T568A, swap the orange/orange and white with the green/green and white.

  14. Re:agree with some of the praise on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    even when using 1st party drivers from ATI/nVidia

    hmm, maybe it's because you're using drivers you wrote yourself. Hint: You're the first party, Canonical is the second party, anyone else is a third party.

    I suppose it's possible that you're ATI and nVidia though -- in which case, just write better drivers!

    Joking aside, I agree with you that the sound device situation is a hideous mess.

  15. Re:The problem remains... groupware on Ubuntu 9.04 Is As Slick As Win7, Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Now if only they can get it to do something other than crash, that'd be a step forward.

  16. Re:Oh please on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 1

    Ah, so "I was just doing my job" is an excuse, as long as it's excusing something sufficiently insignificant. Got it.

  17. Re:i like the slow warm up on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's especially nice when I'm waking up in the morning.

  18. Re:Hey google, want to save some money? on Google Reveals "Secret" Server Designs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Only by converting it from DC power. Which is less efficient than using the DC power directly.

    And is DC even any less efficient? I know it's more efficient to transmit AC power over long distances (i.e. power lines), but does that apply to short distances like these?

  19. Re:speed is everything? on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    I think that's a proverb, not a fable.

  20. Re:FUCK ARTISTS on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 1

    No speakers + microphone?

    How do they communicate with the cell network without an antenna?

    OK then, what's wrong with four 4GB cards?

  24. Re:the real problem is the speed limits themselves on Using Speed Cameras To Send Tickets To Your Enemies · · Score: 1

    What they should do is use the yellow "recommended speed" signs there, because those actually show the safe speed for a curve in a tractor-trailer rig, and if you're in a car you can safely figure 10-15 mph faster than that is safe.

  25. Re:without any humans ever having been involved on Using Speed Cameras To Send Tickets To Your Enemies · · Score: 1

    Maybe he meant that he literally swore blind that it was him, and he just needed someone to verify it by looking at the picture.
