  1. Re:Nice catalog of music on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    I didn't know Jimmy Buffett counted as 2 people

  2. Re:who knew apple had that kind of money? on Apple Plans to Purchase Universal Music · · Score: 1

    Don't tell me there's a tissue-based distro of linux out now...

  3. Re:Maybe its not as good of an item as it seems... on Slashback: Taplight, Handheld, Samba · · Score: 0

    But what if you need a replacement for a worn-out, analog ass?

  4. Re:Closed source security? on Windows Key Leak Threatens Mass Piracy · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone want to pirate YOU?

  5. Re:Full Mirror on A Better Finder? · · Score: 1

    I doubt any bad blood exists between the 2 right now, as this service isn't sponsored by /. It seems like it's being run by an independent person, who isn't supported by /. The front page of the site says that CmdrTaco doesn't endorse what he's doing.

  6. Re:it doesn't say anything about prefered on Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred · · Score: 2, Funny

    well... I know some people hate america right now, but what does a comparison with China have to do with this article?

  7. Re:I'm sure everyone's knees will jerk. on Office Depot: Windows XP Apps Must Be Microsoft-Approved · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're not a Dvorak user, are you?

  8. Re:Google on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 1

    wait... Culture Club's lead singer commands a military force?

  9. Re:Better new feature? on Study Finds Tivo Less of a Threat to Advertisers · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have an elevator...

  10. minor nitpick... on Sharp Ships Zaurus SL-5600; 5500 Available Cheap · · Score: 1

    Trillian's not a protocol like AIM or Yahoo. I'ts just an client for the protocols/services.

  11. Re:QWERTY keyboard on Sharp Ships Zaurus SL-5600; 5500 Available Cheap · · Score: 1

    bah, don't worry about it. I switch beteween a QWERTY and a Dvorak all the time. I have no problem typing at decent speeds on both of them.

  12. Re:like showing "relationship" links in a toolbar on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's exatly what I was thinking of. I remeber reading an example of it somewhere, and also remeber actually using it while browsing some HOWTO in Mozilla.

  13. Re:How about sub-tabs. on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the tag (might be named something else) be useful here? It tells the browser what he immediately adjacent tabs are and lets the browser preload them ahead of time. I believe that Mozilla already uses this and will preload pages on sites that use this.

  14. Re:Browser Tabs on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 1

    Actually, Opera can do this too. In fact, you can save all the session data in a separate file and use it later. (I believe Galeon can do this too)

  15. Re:Is this really needed? on MiniDV As A Backup Medium · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess if you just need some kind of Write-Only-Memory, the ability to restore it all really isn't all that necessary

  16. Re:This is going to get pathetic on Lexmark Wins Injunction in Toner Cartridge Suit · · Score: 1

    Well, since he'd probably be buying the ink cartridges from Lexmark (the Gillette model) they'd probably be losing a fair amount of business form him

  17. Re:Connections on Ogg Vorbis Portables On The Way · · Score: 1

    Well, you can use a USB 2.0 device with a USB 1.1 only computer. It will only transfer data at the slower USB 1.1 rate, but it will still work. There is no reason (outside of whatever the increased cost of the onboard USB 2.0 chip) to not put USB 2.0 on this thing.

  18. Re:Easter Eggs on Mozilla Now Even Includes The Kitchen Sink · · Score: 1

    Hmm... It works fine for me (phoenix 0.5).

    And you might want to try the middle-click

  19. Re:Simple vs. flexible on How Configurable Should a Desktop User Interface be? · · Score: 1

    well, if you looked down a couple comments, you could see the patch that does exactly what you want

  20. Re:Kinda expensive on Lindows Releases Inexpensive Subnotebook · · Score: 1

    yeah, Linux'll never run on an iBook...

  21. Re:With the size of a mini CD I don't see why Sony on Gameboy Advance SP Reviewed & Disassembled · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the markeding, production, royalty and distrbution costs be nearly the same for CD-based media vs. Cartridge mased meida? The only possible extra developement costs I can tell are whatever efforts are needed to make sure the game fits on the cartridge.

  22. Re:How many people use gestures on Gestures For The Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    The name of the feature you're talking about is called "type ahead find"

    And it Moz 1.3b, that feature is expanded to include all the text on the page, not just the link ( actually, the default behavior is the same as before, but you can select the new behavior in the prefs)

  23. Re:New layout should think about the average user on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    hmm... I'm right-handed (well, working towards ambidextrous) but I always mouse with the left. I like the balance that comes with having the main keyboard section in the middle.

  24. Re:"Backwards Apostrophe"? on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    Well, what if you're typing? You'd have to move your hand to get that, and it might still be useful to have the context menu. I found the thing really useful in Word when correcting spelling.

  25. Re:roast duck, anyone....MARKLAR! on Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed · · Score: 1

    I marklar marklar marklar Marklar. after all, marklar, marklar, marklar, marklar! Especially since Marklar marklar marklar marklar, and marklar marklar marklar.

    MARKLAR!.
