  1. I got an ... _angle_ on Solving the /etc Situation? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Simply port over the Windows registry, problem solved!

    Wireless fidelity is...

    It smells like bits to me!

  3. Re:New Aaron spelling show on Ultrawideband May Stall Before It Starts · · Score: 1

    And instead of Shannon Doherty and her tv brother, we can have Ellen Feiss and that Dell dude. Awesome!

  4. Re:Cool on World's First Fuel-Cell Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    Between that and the banana seat, I was too cool for school.

    Uhh...no you weren't. You were just cool enough. :)

  5. Re:It's about time! on Pentium M Goes SFF · · Score: 1

    That's 'bumbershoot' to you, fella.

  6. Re:not even on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Get the FF extension "Tabbrowser Extensions," it does that.

  8. Re:UI concept on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I like having each take its own one click spot on the taskbar

    So you have each take its own one click spot on the tab bar.

    Tabs are generally an option to use, not something you're forced to use. You can run Opera and FF in non-tabbed mode if you wish. It's great to have the option.

  9. Re:Not too keen on Standards on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    HTML 4.01 support would be good, too.

  10. CSS3? Let's not get ahead of ourselves here... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    It's not even _done_ yet - it's only in working draft status at this time.

    CSS 2.1 would be a much more realistic goal for MS. Assuming they actually knew what they were doing, of course. Past evidence strongly suggests they don't, so I'm not holding my breath, even though I look stunning in blue.

  11. Re:Interesting Codename... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd vote for St Helens...cuz it's gonna look like ash.

  12. not even on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 4, Informative

    Without a full commitment to CSS2, this in no way comes even _close_ to FF, even the FF from last year. Pathetic.

    And when you take into account the vast amount of tab control you have in FF when you have 'Tabbrowser Extensions' installed, no way is IE going to approach that level of functionality.

    Looks like there may still be a place for the 'real' IE7 . *sigh*

  13. Re:Should not take you long on A Crazy Cambridge Contraption · · Score: 4, Funny

    The British can actually say words which comprise more than one syllable

    Huh?

  14. playing videos on Windows on A Crazy Cambridge Contraption · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're on Windows, you want the K-Lite Codec Pack ; this collection of codecs (& Media Player Classic) will let you play just about anything you're likely to come across. Plus you can play QuickTime and RealMedia files in MPC, and not have to use their respective crappy players.

    If you're having trouble playing that Star Wars Episode 3 trailer you just downloaded, this'll to watch it just fine.

  15. Re:Dear Tiger Fans on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, but does it stay crunchy in milk?

  16. April 1st on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter, as it'll be a good day no matter what. Even if 10.4 isn't out then, Sin City will be!

  17. Re:The Real Question on Apple Backs Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    See, I'm thinking UberDrive would be a good name...

  18. yo on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That should be spelled as "congratumalations." FYI.

  19. Re:1MB max of L2 cache - suckage on AMD Launches Turion Mobile Processor · · Score: 1

    L2 size is _far_ the only measurement of CPU performance. Also, the first generation of Pentium M had only 1MB of L2.

    Yep, and now Bill Gates is among the richest men in the world. :)

  21. whoa on Gnome 2.10 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's such a long post that I think you should've included a BitTorrent link to it.

    That may be a sign of badly made CF bulbs, but it could also be a sign of bad electricity in your home; you might want to check on that.
