  1. Re:What remains? on Microsoft Clips Longhorn · · Score: 1

    i'm kinda hoping for 64bit support, myself.

  2. Re:The EU Will have a field day.. on Microsoft Clips Longhorn · · Score: 1

    could they simply fire back by pointing out iTunes?

  3. two questions... on Unprecedented level of Virus Alerts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    don't many of these viruses use the same vulnerabilities? if that's the case, doesn't that mean a statistic like this should be pointed to not as an indicator of rising numbers of viruses, but as an indicator of the lack of response from the applications being exploited?

    i'm not certain that these viruses use the same vulnerabilities, so my second question is pretty heavily weighted on the first :)

    you should probably tell him to stop putting a . after the H if he doesn't want people to think it stands for something :)

  5. points re: Quark Express on Microsoft FUD Machine Aims at OpenOffice.org · · Score: 4, Insightful

    why do people keep reiterating the fact that this document was exported from Quark Express? is there a fundamental misunderstanding of what Word/Office is capable of or marketed as? This document is well laid out and visually designed in a way that not only is Word unable to do, but isn't expected to accomplish.

    MS knows the capabilities of their software and they haven't tried to position the Office suite in competition with Quark, InDesign, or other professional layout applications. you're comparing apples and oranges in this criticism and it comes off rather silly.

  6. funny coincidence, that... on Star Wars: Clone Wars Premieres Tonight · · Score: 3, Insightful

    each chapter is not much longer than a commercial... things that make you go "hmmm"

  7. Re:Building for Both - Lacks features on Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller · · Score: 1

    I have no way of knowing in what situation you're having the alignment problem, but in case you weren't already, set width:100%;height:100% on html,body to ensure that when you're positioning elements below the body in the document tree relatively they have something to relate to. I've noticed this to be the most common problem when people are having trouble with alignment.

    if this doesn't apply to you, ignore me. just trying to be helpful :)

  8. Re:Speaking of Matrix parallel... on I, Robot Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    yes, as for instance the next angelina jolie movie's trailer features the theme from Stargate.

  12. Re:Seems brilliant... on New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label · · Score: 1

    though for the price of a new drive you could set up for one-colour silk screening and have enough ink to last you to 2007 :)

  13. Re:What I'm curious about on New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label · · Score: 2, Informative

    the drive could easily just assume you're brand conscious (you just bought a cd burner with a feature that can only be used with certain cds, after all). the process which "writes" to the top of the CD doesn't etch anything or put ink anywhere it wasn't already. it's the same method used to burn the cd itself - that is, the laser heats up inks which change colour. if you're using a cd that doesn't have this ability and you flip it when the drive asks and try to write a label, no big deal. you just won't have a label.

  14. it most certainly is censorship. on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    it's just not aggressively "bad" censorship. just because you've assigned an evil tint to a word doesn't mean you can change its meaning.

  15. Re:To Do What? on iPod Mini Sells Out · · Score: 1

    they also have a slightly significant problem with Apple even being in the music business.

  16. Re:Most MuVo sales are likely regular users on iPod Mini Sells Out · · Score: 1

    Some of their sales can be attributed to this, however I doubt that it is statistically significant. The majority of consumers are not doing this.

    psh not anymore!

    no, the word of her actions came from her own mouth. if it was just rumour, then it was her rumour, that she started, which she perpetuated and she accepted. really messed up girl overall.

  20. Re:ISPs, please block egress port 25! on U.S. is World Leader in Spam · · Score: 1

    wouldn't it be far more consumer friendly if they just checked their IP blocks for open relays rather than stifling their customer's use of the internet at large?

    checking for open relays isn't hard, and is easily automated.

  22. Re:The first series is BAD, now another one???? on Stargate Atlantis Coming This Summer · · Score: 1

    well i think the divide is that we're looking at these programs as sci-fi or not sci-fi. sci-fi is just a vehicle for the drama. i didn't like babylon 5 because i don't like soap operas. i liked farscape because you could pick it up whenever and just enjoy the action. i didn't have to commit to watching it.
