    Curtail your sensitivity to your neighbor's vernacular. Priggish posturing does not a friend make.

    Mod parent up!

    I think the interface debate comes down to which you learned first. I began using GIMP before I'd even seen Photoshop and now, having used both, I much perfer GIMP's interface.

    So to all the developers, keep up the GREAT work!!!

    I've heard about this quite a bit. I must have been very lucky to still have a working 1st generation PS2.

    In Atlanta I saw security personnel riding around on them. It was pretty comical to me, kinda Back-To-The-Futuresque.

  8. Re:Yeah, but is he worth a billion bucks? on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 1

    I admit I know little about the stock market and neither of these companies are profitable yet, but I still don't see how SIRI is overpriced when it seems closer to being profitable than XMSR. If SIRI is truly overpriced can anyone explain to me why?

    XMSR (XM) $ 28.98

  16. Re:question on KDE 3.3 Beta "Klassroom" Released · · Score: 1

    I thought it was odd that they posted all those previews for 2.6 and post-release reviews for it, but when it was actually released there was no post.

    Jeez. You can't come up with anything to do with those? You realize that there was a whole world before GHz; a world many people still happily inhabit.

  18. Re:The heat! The heat! on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 1

    I would think that PCI bandwidth might be a bigger concern. Especially if combined with Fibre Channel or Serial ATA storage. I suppose PCI-X will help eliminate bandwidth issuses in the future.

  19. Re:Hey..? on Cassini-Huygens Reaches Orbit Around Saturn · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They basically used a "slingshot" manuever to rocket this thing around the sun twice and use the sun's gravitational pull to fling Cassini toward Saturn. Very dangerous thing to do with a rocket full of plutonium. Thank god it didn't blow up like the Columbia or Challenger shuttles.
