  1. Re:Hmm on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    yeah, that guy got arrested & sentenced to minimum security prison.

    then he proceeded to escape, kill his wife & baby daughter (a teenager escaped) and then himself.

    pretty crazy, no?: http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/jul/26/spam-king-murder-suicide-surviving-daughter-in/

  2. Re:That's a mistake on A Battlestar Galactica Prequel Series on the Way · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i logged in just to respond and heartily agree with you about how absolutely awesome "Exodus, part II" was...

    when galactica is free-falling on new caprica, launching vipers, and does a jump just a couple hundred feet above the ground...

    and when the galactica is getting pounded by 3+ cylon starships and adama gives his "well, that's it" speech, with that awesome sad orchestral music playing -- just to have lee and the pegasus burst in launching rockets...!!!

    anyway, i thought it was just me who thought that was some of the best FILM i'd ever seen; not just TV. will you be my friend? ;)

  3. Re:MOD STORY AS FLAMEBAIT on Eight PS3 'Supercomputer' Ponders Gravity Waves · · Score: 1

    i couldn't do that for *any* system currently sold... except the PS2.

    riiiiggghht....

    why don't you try to visit any forum posting regarding sony that *doesn't* mention the rootkit...

  6. Re:Responsibility on Sony Sues Rootkit Maker · · Score: 1

    that shouldn't stop the motherboard manufacturer from suing the capacitor manufacturer, should it?

  7. Re:Would you contract to Sony for DRM after this?? on Sony Sues Rootkit Maker · · Score: 1

    maybe because it is defective by design.

    to be sure, it is a wake up call...

  8. Re:Yawn More Zonk FUD on A Catalog of Lost PS3 Exclusives · · Score: 0

    i do find it interesting slashdot reports this story, as opposed to the reported ridiculous failure rate for the 360...

    http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=7892
    http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160603

    as a somewhat long-time slashdotter, i'm disappointed this hasn't shown up here for further discussion...

    personal anecdote: there are two people i know of with an xbox 360; one is on his fourth and the other's network adapter doesn't work...

  9. Re:isn't this normal? on Internal Microsoft Email about Life at Google · · Score: 1

    fwiw, i agree with you -- we must all find the right balance in life that is good for *ourselves*.

    that said, there's a reason google, microsoft, apple, sun, oracle, etc. are american companies, and are literally changing the world...

  10. Re:Who cares? on Some Truth to Wii as GameCube 1.5? · · Score: 1

    just to answer your question... i have comcast digital, and they've been playing BSG in high-def on the Universal HD channel, just so you know.
    they're actually replaying this past season currently. what i want to know is why we're waiting till fraking 2008 for new shows!!??

  11. Re:H & R Block on What Tax Software Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    i got a bit of a laugh from your post.

    *most* people only want to do their taxes once (if even)... not 2-3 times to make a game of it!

  12. Re:I don't care for these commercials on New "Get a Mac" TV ads · · Score: 1

    oh, now windows is a fucking kid getting picked on by the big bad bully, apple???

    please, get a grip.

  13. Re:I'm not taking it to that extreme on What Happened to Media PCs? · · Score: 1

    boy, you wrote *a lot* of text to say "different strokes for different folks"

  14. Re:OMG!!! on Would You Use Ad-Supported Windows? · · Score: 1

    this should get modded '-1: doesn't know kirk's son died in star trek III'

  15. what has the world come to... on OpenSolaris Code Released · · Score: 1

    when people would rather give out their mailing address than their email address????! ;)

  16. censorship or right to privacy? on Survey Reveals Americans Support Blog Censorship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    it seems to me the headline could have been just as easily:

    americans overwhelmingly support privacy of citizens

    but doesn't fly as well with the america-haters...

  17. Re:Before people go nuts... on Study Recommends Mac OS X as Safest OS · · Score: 1
    I have no clue what two Wisconsin state troopers have to do with donuts or the Berlin Wall.

    I think you got the comparison without knowing it... ;)

    resize the panel then, silly...

    1) right-click on panel
    2) select 'properties'
    3) change 'size' to xx-small

    done.

  19. Re:It's about time on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 1

    why? linux seems to be doing quite well versus a monopoly...

  20. Re:It's about time on Are You Reporting Your Internet Purchases? · · Score: 1

    as has already been mentioned, nobody gives a shit if "brick & mortar" businesses fail. leaves more room for open space areas (like we have here in colorado).

    since you have a vested interest, it's no wonder you're whining.

  21. Re:But not so liberal as you'd think... on On Videogames And Inherent Political Bias · · Score: 1

    holy shit! do you know what a "game" is?

    a game is *supposed* to be some kind of test of your skills as a player/team vs. another player/team -- be it physical skills or mental ability -- and see who's better. it also includes the requirement that the "test" is fair -- meaning it's balanced. every game up until video games has this requirement (chess, checkers, etc...).

    if this doesn't sound "fun" to you because you don't like to lose to superior players on an even playing field, maybe you shouldn't be playing games.

  23. Re:w00t! on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1

    >Spidey actually rejects his status. You don't see that in movies...

    actually, this was the whole plot of superman 2 -- superman gives up his powers to become a "normal" man so he can hook up with lois lane.

    but, i love spider-man, so i'm looking forward to a little doc oc action! plus my 3 year old loves spider-man right now, for some reason -- this will probably be a little too "scary" though...

  24. Re:Windows autocomplete on A Babe in Tuxland · · Score: 1

    now that's user-friendly!

  25. Re:Well.... on Gates on Winsecurity · · Score: 1

    i think the wisdom we should gather from your comment is that 98% market share from any "vendor" is bad and something to be avoided, don't you think...?
