  1. Steam Down on Verisign Certificate Expiration Causes Multiple Problems · · Score: 1

    Steam is down (for counter-strike)

  2. Rich??? Yeah Right! on Building Rich-Client-Like Web Apps With Echo · · Score: 1

    That webmail demo was super lame.
    If I wanted to build rich interfaces I would use
    Flash and Cold Fusion or PHP on the backend.

    I don't really consider JavaScript to be "rich".
    Calling a web interface that utilizes JavaScript and
    HTML "rich" is about 3 years out of date.

  3. Re:Games Are MORE Popular Right Now on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 1

    Yeah that makes sense.
    Especially when you have to buy the same movie 5 times on DVD to get all the hyper-turbo-ninja special features and collectable metallic case.

  4. Games Are MORE Popular Right Now on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 1

    Computer and console game sales just recently surpassed the film industry in gross sales.

    Wouldn't that mean that games are already more popular than films?

  5. Why I don't Plunge on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    One word: software. I can't run any of the Macromedia MX products or Adobe products in Linux. If I could I would completely switch of MS products in a heartbeat.

    I have a feeling I am not alone.

    Macromedia and Adobe would be doing the web developer community a great service by coming out with reliable solid versions of their software for Linux.

    HTML and PHP scripting can be accomplished fine in Linux but many web developers can't do their jobs without being able to run Macromedia's software to author Flash.

  6. Depends On Available Upgrades on Do BIOS Upgrades Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Sometime the BIOS upgrades are crucial! I had a HP workstation that needed a BIOS upgrade to take advantage of a newer faster processor. I had another machine that wouldn't recognize newer larger hard drives without the upgrade.
    So I guess they can be really important if your putting in new parts that might not have been supported when your board came out.

  7. You Know The Guy, AKA - "Whipping-Boy". on Amusing Job Titles for Business Cards? · · Score: 1

    I have noticed a trend at consulting firms where one guy or girl always seams to get stuck with the real pain-in-the-ass clients.

    I always thought of them as the "Whipping-Boy".
