    with all the crap that is being produced today, Ill just make sure I fill any holes in my CD collection from the USED CD shop and they can do what they want with the format... they will look lovely in that coffin

  3. GAH!!!! whats with the recasting crap?!? on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    cant they come up with NEW characters? with NEW stories, instead of rehashing old characters... I guess it could be worse they could cast Cedric the Entertainer as Ralph Kramden

  4. what is the purpose of a slashback?!? on Will Pretty PCs Make Vista More Attractive? · · Score: 1

    if its news that matters, if you have to rehash it then it wasnt that important

  7. Anyone experienced Vu Ja De? on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

  8. Re:general-purpose sets on Re-Inventing Hotwheels · · Score: 1

    you definitally arent looking in the right places...

  9. Until software requires it on The Life and Death of Microsoft Software · · Score: 1

    I see no reason to upgrade, most applications still run fine on windows 98, even though I did migrate to win2k for its security and folder permissions aspect. Before I switched, my win98 machine was bulletproof, no crashes, no viruses and very little overhead. If I didnt have to play with permissions I would probably go back to win98. so until it becomes "manditory" to upgrade the OS, I wont be switching... and even then it would probably over to Linux

  10. Im tired of this... on DRAM Makers Accused of Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    Companies hurt the consumer, via price fixing, or stock manipulation (Enron, WorldCom), yet its the government that recieves the fines, those screwed are left holding the bag...

  13. Re:It's peanuts for the EU. on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 1

    You dont think the EU would like to spend an additonal 2.5 million dollars of free money a day?

  14. Its like a speed trap... on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 1

    its nothing more than a money grab, to MS 2.5 mill a day may be nothing, but to the EU? think of all the STUFF they could buy! It kinda reminds me of the whole Enron/WorldCom thing. Shareholders lose millions upon millions of dollars and its the government that recieves the money in fines...

  15. maybe Im missing something on Microsoft's IE7 Search Box Bugs Google · · Score: 1

    when you first install windows (or pull your new dell out of the box) and you fire up the intarweb, the default browser is IE, which by default goes to MSN... so IE7 (a microsoft product) now adds a search box in their product that goes to their search engine? so?
