  1. Re:Stagnating? Really? on Michael Meeks Says OO.o Project is "Profoundly Sick" · · Score: 1

    Open Office is generally fine for writing papers. Sometimes I have to make two pdfs with it and then combine them to get over the hurdle of page numbers in particular places, but this is not a major concern.

  2. RocketDock on Configuring a Windows PC For a Senior Citizen? · · Score: 1

    Put it up in one part of the screen and put the most-commonly used apps on it. Easy-peasy.

  3. Re:If the Scrabulous people have any pride... on Scrabulous Is Dead, Hasbro's Version Brain-Dead · · Score: 1

    The same thing happened with Chrono Trigger and Chrono Trigger Resurrection.

  4. When dealing with Gore on What Gore Didn't Say About Solar Cells · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's important to remember what you imagined/pretended he said so you can write a response to that instead of what he actually said IRL.

  5. Speaking of podcasts, on LugRadio Decides To Call It Quits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Please bring back Geeks in Space. You could have a group conference over skype (or ventrillo), record it, clean it up some, and then save it as an mp3 and upload it to the interwebs.

  6. How about ... on Sony Thinks Blu-ray Will Sell Like DVDs by Year End · · Score: 1

    double packs with the dvd and the blu-ray disc packed together? Or if size isn't a big issue, then double-layered discs, with the dvd on one side and the blu-ray on the other.

  7. Re:Also from the article... on China to Use Silver Iodide & Dry Ice to Control the Weather · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I already plan to boycott the Olympics because China, which has occupied Tibet and terrorized the citizenry of a sovereign nation and exiled their leader, has no business hosting the world's representation of cooperative spirit shared in friendship and peace.

  8. Re:I think McCain would be the choice today on IT Workers Split For McCain, Obama · · Score: 1

    His quote went on to say that he did not think it would be a waste if we were there for ten thousand years.

  9. Megatokyo had a strip about this ... on High-Tech Vest Lets Gamers Take a Hit · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Social Engineering at its best on Skype Worm Infects Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    I wondering what happen to all those malware writers.

    Someone set them up the bomb.

  11. Re:Not very interesting.... on What Your Favorite Web Sites Say About You · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has broadened its horizons, and the discussions tend to be a lot more balanced

    The articles also receive 1/5th to 1/10th the amount of reader responses that they used to. If traffic keeps declining, slashdot may not seem like such a viable idea.

  12. Why isn't lolifox on the list? on Why are Websites Still Forcing People to Use IE? · · Score: 1

    Integrated spellchecker and support for all firefox plugins right out of the box, plus cuteness.

  13. on that subject on Wikipedia Used for Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    If the A.I. works like many editors on Wikipedia, then the end result will be another intolerant fundie:

    ERROR! Your original research is not welcome!
    We cannot use that data as the citation format has changed. REVERTED

  14. Re:A sim on Army Game Proves U.S. Can't Lose · · Score: 1

    A simulation will always be a simulation. It seldom comes close to the original.

    And you go to war with the Army you have. With everything so unrealistic in the sim, I can't help but wonder if Rumsfeld planned the scenario.

  15. ah, so on Icebergs Sailing Past New Zealand · · Score: 1
  16. Skype on Tabletop Gaming Over the 'Net? · · Score: 1

    Skype would work pretty well for this, as it is cross-platform, supports file xfers, and has voice and text chat capabilities.

  17. Re:What what happen in an accident? on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 1

    Someone sets it up the bomb!

  18. Re:Viruses have always talked to you on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 1

    There was also the Da Vinci virus in the movie Hackers and a Cookie Monster virus appeared later in the same film.

  19. Re:What a gyp! on The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 1 · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I just got the first dvd of Wheeled Warriors
    and would love to have a complete collection of
    scripts for the show.

  20. Re:Get rid of your television! on Congress Pays You $3 Billion to Keep Watching TV · · Score: 1

    I have a subscription to rentanime and a ps2. I don't have cable or satellite. I don't want a new tv; I don't intend to buy one unless I know it'll work with what I have now.

  21. Re:A Terrible Movie on New Star Wars Movie From the Makers of 'Troops' · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to get some good fanfiction writers to write the scripts for the next episode; Good fanfiction writers? Most fanfic is horribly written with lousy plots, awful spelling, and characters that are out of character.

  22. Re:Or just buy the chat-cord! on Chat Online with Cordless Phone · · Score: 1

    The Internet Phone Wizard, available at
    http://www.actiontec.com/products/communications/i pw_usb/index.php
    , works fine for skype-based calls.

  23. Re:High Wi-fi Charges on WiMax Hits 100 mph on Rails to Brighton · · Score: 1

    I just hope T-mobile understands that and keep the charges minimal, so that more users use it.

    T-Mobile regularly overcharges people on their cell
    phone bills and then zaps them with a 200
    buck cancellation fee when they can't afford
    to keep paying $110 over the expected price.

    I would recommend against doing business with that
    company in any form.

  24. Re:What about the studly men!? on Getting the Girl · · Score: 1

    I can think of one videogame character with
    a wispy, sensitive guy:

    Metal Gear Solid 2, and Raiden. Perhaps Orlando could play him in the movie.

  25. And Now on Lost Ed Wood Film Unearthed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We must summon Best Brains and reform the MST3K crewe for one final mission ... after they finish with Battlefield Earth.
