  1. Re:Tucows on Registerfly's Accreditation Terminated by ICANN · · Score: 1

    Then you can unlock it in OpenSRS. At least take a look at it before you babble on.

  2. Re:I can't feel any responsiveness improvements. on Gnome 2.18 Released · · Score: 1

    Gnome lets you configure most stuff through gconf-editor. I find it preferable to putting everything imaginable in the settings windows as kde does, because you can do things like search.

  3. Re:Tis a shame... on PS3 Owners To Simulate Gene Folding · · Score: 1

    "All the power you would normally use for electrical heating you could just as well run through a computer of some sort (a game console is just a specialized computer). The energy will eventually end up as heat (a cpu is just a special electrical oven that also does computations). Essentially you get the cycles for free (minus minimal wear and tear on the computer) if the computer would just sit idle and you would use that power to heat your home anyway."

    That is a load of crap, ever hear of a heatpump? I hear this bullshit from amateur physics experts like yourself all the time, as a justification for leaving lights on in the winter. It only applies if you live somewhere so cold that you don't even have a heatpump. And it doesn't apply at all (from a monetary perspective) if you heat with gas or oil.

  4. Re:Did they include... on Gnome 2.18 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Gnome file dialog can turn anyone into a jackass.

  5. Re:Great News on Google's Best Perk — Transport · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has done this for more years than Google has been around--sans trendy biodiesel.

  6. Oh my god, wow! on Google's Best Perk — Transport · · Score: 0

    Google is so perfect and environmentally sound. I mean, that one Party Jet probably uses more fuel than all the savings from the biodeisel busses.

  7. Re:Fine on New Mexico Might Declare Pluto a Planet · · Score: 0, Troll

    So you don't believe intelligence was formed from materials condensed out of a stellar (or proto-stellar) accretion disk, or is otherwise naturally found in space? Are you from Kansas?

  8. Re:When will they learn. on Prescription Meds For Vista Sleep Disorder · · Score: 1

    Fiji is an end-all fix to every problem anyone might have. Just keep the dream of Fiji alive and it will blur out the dull Vista experience, and somehow in the process make it bearable. Just as it did for Truman in The Truman Show.

  9. Re:This is just another in a long series of failue on Windows Live OneCare Can Eat Your Email · · Score: 1

    "And just remember, this is the same development house that the whole world seems to have no problem with the thought of giving root acces to their machines so they can keep them 'safe.'"

    For a single user desktop machine, there is no reason not to. If you're account ever is compromised, someone can just wrap your shell with something that uploads everything you enter, and the next time you su to root, you're toast. How many unix users do you know who switch to the login screen everytime they need to do something as root?

  10. Re:Best five services in Japan... on What are the Best Cell Phone Services in the US? · · Score: 1

    So then, it's something you say *to* your wife, not when you are mentioning her in an outside context. I wouldn't say 'Today my honey went to the market to pick up some eggs', but I might say 'thanks honey, for going to the market and picking up some eggs.'

  11. Re:My boss told me to look into "Microsoft groove" on Alternative to Groove? · · Score: 1

    You can't afford cygwin? It's free.

  12. Re:Does that NASA built a chip mean anything? on NASA Backs Quantum Computing Claim · · Score: 1

    If they solve something that they couldn't have within the lifetime of the universe with a classical computer, it doesn't matter, because we can't verify that their solution was correct without a quantum computer of our own.

    Please go somewhere else to tell stories about your 'wifey'. Ok, shnuckums?

    Indeed, not very reliavent at all. But *very* cromulent.

    I don't think a criminal genius does their abduction at a PUBLIC AIRPORT.

    If the headline's question is answered in the affirmative, us atheists aren't even considered human anymore.

    Nice thought, but it doesn't say that anywhere. If that were a result, it certainly would have been highlighted.

    Think of it this way: if you can't test for HPV in men, how do you do a trial of the vaccine in men?
