  1. Re:merge on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 1

    What is in Mozilla that isn't in about:config in Firefox? (Remember, we're talking power users here so about:config counts..)

    I'm genuinely curiuos since I use Firefox and wasn't aware of anything it lacked (configuration-wise) that Mozilla has.

    Maybe your jokes just aren't funny? You're outnumbered 2 to 1 it seems.....=)

    My point was, if most of the world doesn't use Linux then the fact that GAIM works on both doesn't buy it anything.

  4. Re:Gaim on Trillian 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Ohh, I know that. I've used it and like it...but I prefer trillian.

    When I do use an *n*x desktop (FreeBSD if I do) then I prefer Kopete over GAIM. GAIM doesn't feel integrated with anything (though the Windows port is getting better) unless you're using GNOME I guess.

  5. Re:Gaim on Trillian 3.0 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because it looks better (subjective, yes) and I (and most of the rest of the world) don't run linux.

    Chuckie Cheese employees tend to memorize the Veggie Tales songs because they're played there nearly non-stop. Don't ask how/why I know this. =)

    My argument was merely that the two* are similar. His above reply disputed that similarity. You're putting words into my mouth on the other hand.

    * The two being 1) Downloading (free/pirated) TV shows because he doesn't want to pay for lots of Cable TV he isn't going to watch. 2) Downloading (free/pirated) music because he doesn't want to buy the whole cd.

    Funny...he didn't say anything about copyright law....perhaps he was just responding to the poster's comment?

    Yea. It's kinda like saying that since he only wanted a sip of the Pepsi it was OK for him to take the bottle.

    Yea yea, it's not actual theft in this case...

    So, how about downloading music then. You only wanted one track out of the CD so you pirated it instead. OK then?

    Hey! I like that logic.

    Turn it around and it's OK to pirate DirecTV since you have to watch the ads anyways!

    Not the right form factor I'm pretty sure....

    But this may interest you.

    Yea...that and a HD based video camera could be much bulkier (allow for a larger battery) than the iPod can.

  19. Re:Not too shabby? on PSP Battery Journal · · Score: 1

    So, if you had to plug it up ~ every other day it wouldn't be a problem? Or are you saying you prever alkaline batteries?

    If it's got a recharable battery, I'm plugging it up every day.

  20. Re:overkill on Driver's Licenses with Digital Watermarks · · Score: 1

    Yep.

    Certainly the number of "lost" (read: hologram cut out to be placed on fake license) licenses will skyrocket once this goes into effect.

    Apex players are very inexpensive and I've never had a problem with any of them.

    Yes, you've mis-understood it. This just makes a central repository for OpenPGP keys. No private information will be storedo n the server...it's a directory. It will not store private keys.
